As most of you know, I'm a vet, my step father was career armym my deceased wives grandson did three tours in the war zone that we are in. YOU CAN'T HAVE A LARGER ARMED FORCE WITH OUT TAX INCREASES. WE HAD THE GREATEST MILITARY IN THE WORLD,AND WE HAD THE DRAFT! Iturned off the debate video at that point, because in my view it became nonsense. Are we at war, or are at peace? It's the 'little pregnant" thing again. NOT ONE CANDIDATE ON EITHER SIDE WILL SPEAK TO THAT ISSUE.
My previous post was to the content of the repulsican debate on GOP debate on ISIS.
America passed the crossroad between socialism, and plutocracy. We are NOT socialists because we agree with someone other than rabid conservatives. It goes to the old "money talks", and conservatives listen intently. Go ahead dismantle health care, I'm to old to get health insurance. When I become sick. Tough s--t, curl up and die.If you're a soldier, and become wounded, were you compeled to put yourself in harms way? If you work, and don't have enough to eat, use the "mexican breakfast" pull your belt tighter.. If you don't need to or can't go anywhere, why do you need a bridge? Or a road to it. I believe in some draconian solutions to social problems. THEY WOULD WORK. and there would be omlets for all who derserved them.
[QUOTE=waterdog101;552666]the longer a man lives, the more he will see { even more looking out both eyes } I've seen a lot in my days, but never thought I'd see the day, when 1% of the people in this country, would own more wealth than everyone else all combined. and use it to buy greedy politicians, so they can pass laws to keep more wealth flowing to the top, Sanders and Trump from what I can read and listen to on tv, are the only two, that the billionaires aren't paving the way for. I think Sanders has good intentions, and cares for the common man, but in his dreams, are the only place he will help anyone, most of those he will be working with, are puppets of the billionaires, Trump is paying his own way, with the help of lots of free media, but I can't see Trump hurting his bottom line, or any of his billionaire friends. when checking history, start here at home and see how it's going, when 400 of the richest people in this country, buy greedy politicians and put them forth as presidential candidates, and let 350 million select one of them as president. this is how things work in the USA, and some say it is the best system in the world, the way I see it, here in the realworld, life is rough and getting worse, with the help of greedy puppet politicians.[/QUOTE]
I never thought I would see the day that the top 1% payed all the taxes and some idiot politician wants them to pay there fair share.

if for some reason, you really believe that the top 1% pay " ALL " the taxes, read this and educate yourself on how the tax system works for the super rich, then take another look at the idiot politician, you were referring to, and ask yourself, could I have been wrong about him..

And yet you still don't GET it..........
Here are the ******** points from your left leaning post.......
The richest 1% of Americans own 35% of the nation’s wealth. The bottom 80% own just 11% of the nation’s wealth.
In the 1950s and 1960s, when the economy was booming, the wealthiest Americans paid a top income tax rate of 91%. Today, the top rate is 43.4%.
The richest 1% pay an effective federal income tax rate of 24.7% in 2014; someone making an average of $75,000 is paying a 19.7% rate.
The average federal income tax rate of the richest 400 Americans was just 20 percent in 2009.
Taxing investment income at a much lower rate than salaries and wages are taxed loses $1.3 trillion over 10 years.
1,470 households reported income of more than $1 million in 2009 but paid zero federal income taxes on it.
CEOs of major corporations earn nearly 300 times more than an average worker.
30 percent of income inequality is due to unfair taxes and budget cuts to services and benefits.
The largest contributor to increasing income inequality has been changes in income from capital gains and dividends.
Here is information JUST about the TAXES paid, and who pays them:
The top 1% pays a gigantic amount of the federal tax burden........and the top 5% pays more than all the other income brackets combined.
Here are the details:
The top 1% pays 39% of all taxes
The top 5% pays 59% of all taxes
The top 10% pays 70% of all taxes
The top 25% pays 86% of all taxes
The top 50% pays 98% of all taxes.

He got mixed up on some statistics........while they don't pay most, they already pay nearly 40% of the FREAKIN BILL.......do you get that , or does that simply slip your mind.
And once you get to 10% of the population........well they pay 75% of ALL TAXES..........
Sad.
City, county, state.

WHO CARES..........were talking about the federal bill. This is always the argument of you lefties, especially when talking about who pays what.
The ONLY tax that locals pay that makes any difference is gasoline tax, since the socialist sum bitches in power would much rather take the half a billion a year in MFT from this region and send it to Alaska and charge us 1 buck each way to cross a freaking bridge.
