#1 Worst Reason for a Government to do something: Because They Can.
The rich pay the taxes, dont care what John Kerry is trying to tell you. |
actually the 'middle-class' pays most of the taxes... and what i'm saying is: work together to eliminate some of the gap between the classes, and everyone will be paying taxes... how can you stimulate an economy where more than 1/2 the people can barely afford to live?... how can you support a government that 'cares' more for the well-being of Iraqis than it's own people?... |
Uuuum, don't want to shit on your parade but the 'upper class', or people who make some number or more(like 250g or so a year) pay 30%(somewhere in that area) to the federal government. Middle class only pays 15 or 17 or w/e the fuck.
But, John Kerry gets out of paying his amount of taxes because he gives the bare minimum to just sneak under the radar by giving a small amount to charity. Kerry wants to raise taxes to the middle class.[/quote:fe583]
before your drop your load, the 'upper class' is about 2% of the population, even at 30% tax rate, the 'middle class' pays more... in canada people who make over 50K but less than 100K are taxed at like 40%, i assumed it was similar in the US...
