Ethics and style, that's rich.I think your political ethics and style would fit in perfectly with the attrocious campaigns being ran (sic) this year.
OK - in larger letters this time
They never seem to mention the fact that most of that number are working and do pay "Fed taxes", they are the FICA taxes that pay for Social Security and Medicare.
No point in taking the poor's money when it will just have to be redistributed back to them cause they make inadequate wagesthey also pay sales taxes, but the fact is they pay NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
they also pay sales taxes, but the fact is they pay NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
Correct! You should then be telling your friends on the right that every time they post "The poor pay no Fed Taxes", they are supporting the lefties who say too many on the right are clueless.

I don't recall anyone saying the poor should not pay FICA. (PS....FICA is SS & Medicare)and why shouldn't everyone pay FICA and medicare?
You are trying to argue that the EITC is un-Constitutional?But to your point, is it the govt's role to guarantee every citizen a certain level of income? If yes, please tell us where you find that in the constitution.

I don't recall anyone saying the poor pay no taxes. the statistic is always referring to federal income taxes.
and why shouldn't everyone pay FICA and medicare? they will get that back when they retire. do you want to give low income folks a free ride on SS and medicare as well as income taxes? I thought you dems were all about "paying your fair share"
Then you don't know what the EITC is.it may be, but thats not my question. where in the constitution do you find language saying that a role of the federal govt is to ensure that all citizens have a certain level of income?
Under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) 12.4% of earned income up to an annual limit must be paid into Social Security, and an additional 2.9% must be paid into Medicare.No its not, FICA is social security Federal Insurance Contribution Act, medicare is a separate withhold from your pay.
No its not, FICA is social security Federal Insurance Contribution Act, medicare is a separate withhold from your pay.
You are wrong on this matter. FICA is the total Federal Insurance Contributions required of all wage earners, SS and medicare may be shown as separate deductions from a pay check but they both fall under FICA
So what year is it...now? I know cons are traditionalists....but this is ridiculous.Social security was started under the FICA act Medicare was added in the 1960s under a separate act.
You are correct, the good news is Ryan is Romney's pick and that is Obama's worst nightmare

What taxes are included in those charts? The IRS disagrees with you on income taxes
they also pay sales taxes, but the fact is they pay NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
it may be, but thats not my question. where in the constitution do you find language saying that a role of the federal govt is to ensure that all citizens have a certain level of income?
In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), the Supreme Court read the Necessary and Proper Clause to permit the federal government to take action that would "enable [it] to perform the high duties assigned to it [by the Constitution] in the manner most beneficial to the people,"[23] even if that action is not itself within the enumerated powers.
