LOL The wealthy pay because they can afford to pay and that is the only "fair" way to levy taxes. When they pay less we put more debt on our credit card and give the money to them instead. That makes sense to you?
LOL Most Americans just want to pay their bills and get through the month. They would all love to be able to afford to pay income tax. They still pay property taxes, sales taxes and many other regressive fees to the Govt. They don't want or get "free stuff".
We're a big country, one of the wealthiest in the world, and should be able to take care that every single citizen should have the inalienable rights to basic healthcare and food. Not everyone is paying a fair share. Our tax code favors the wealthiest Americans. There's a vast wealth inequality in this country as far as income tax goes. The top 10% of the wealthiest own a majority of the nation's wealth, while the bottom 50% own very little. The richest 1 percent of Americans own 50 percent of U.S. stock and mutual funds. As a matter of fact, the United States has more Inequality and disparities of wealth between rich and poor than any other major developed nation. And, the wealthiest of the wealthy will get even wealthier because the tax breaks given to them by Trump do not expire.
just acknowledge they pay way more than their "fair share"
their taxation has NOTHING to do with you spending money on a credit card
bologna
just spend 30% more than you bring in - isn't that what the US Fed Govt does ?
its the USA - you want money? go earn it
we could but the money is all spent on many many other things
true - lower income pay almost nothing
the tax codes are for EVERYONE - use them, they're there
you're right - poor people pay nothing in income taxes
they earned that wealth, yes
true - now, can you go buy stock? right now - is it available to you to do that ? then GO DO IT its equal and fair to everyone
Yes and we don't need all those "poor" people one bit either do we? The rich make their money by growing it on trees in your feeble mind.
You have no common sense or you would know that going into debt or taking away programs for the less fortunate so we can give more money to those that have more than they can ever spend is pure insanity.
Yes, it was being spent on many things that were essential to life for many people in Sudan like life-saving medication’s for HIV and food. Now it’s being spent for Trump’s rallies and for $400 million to upgrade the fancy jet Trump just got as a gift from Qatar. Talk about pork spending, that one actually oinks.
It's more like $1.5 Billion to upgrade that jet to Presidential standards and will take YEARS. Money is no object for Trump and remember that he will be gifted the plane if he ever leaves office.
$2.40?

Further:Your notion of 'punish hundreds of thousands Medicaid users' is false, unless you are counting the Medicaid users who are:
“Yeah, but who does it cut Medicaid for? Illegal aliens, people who won’t get off grandma’s couch despite being able-bodied adults,” Jennings said.Hunt dived deeper into the issue and said the bill threatens rural hospitals, particularly those that need federal support.“It is a protection of the Social Security. I actually know too much about this because I used to be a health care policy reporter on Capitol Hill. So putting that hat on for a second, the people that are really going to suffer, and the reason this is a problem for Lisa Murkowski and Josh Hawley are the rural hospitals with emergency rooms into which people like that may walk, and if they don’t have Medicaid, they’re not getting any,” Hunt said. “That hospital is not getting any money from that person or from the federal government.Jennings remained unfazed and said the bill included specific provisions to safeguard rural hospitals.“Well, the Senate included a massive fund for rural hospitals. I think it was $50 billion, or do they wind up, I forget where they wind up, but a massive fund to cover just what you’re talking about,” Jennings said.

I'm leaning more to Jennings' side on this.
Which isn't what's going on, so it isn't applicable.
Seems like you are a victim of your own decision to buy into the left's false narratives, and now you are upset about it?

Do you understand what the difference is between direct support to a government, and direct aid and support to humanitarian causes? Do you get that? When it existed, USAID provided over $2 billion in humanitarian assistance to Sudan and neighboring countries. The next question is, do you have any understanding of exactly what 'humanitarian relief' actually is? I don't think you do. Humanitarian aid is provided to save lives, alleviate suffering, and protect human dignity. This means providing food, water, shelter, and medical care and essential medicines.
