Some facts on income and tax rates in the USA.

[Klavdy]

Here is my stick to stir the pot   why can't we do a flat tax get rid of child earned income and all other tax write off except business losses and charge everyone 7% fed and 3% state then everyone pays there fair share. You could also take away sales tax we then could get out of this mess we are in .  

Because it will give the rich substantial tax cuts at the expense of low and middle income earners.

Here's a simple outline by Mitchell Orenstein , professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington.

So Mr K, I guess what you;re telling me is that either I vote for the incumbent , or I'm a Heathen Hating, Anti freedom, homophobic xenophobe that thinks it's OK if major cities go underwater while we spy on our citizens and invade foreign countries for steal oil to pay for our medical cost and cover our deficits? 
Well, if that's the case, I guess I vote against the incumbent, naturally.  After all, you have described me to a T.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Digression being the better part of valor, I'm opting not to engage.  In fact, I did not even read it as I knew I would not agree.

Dan

That is; DISCRETION ... or digression as that case may actually be...  Damn spell check fixed it incorrectly for me.

Dan

I dunno...I thought "digression" was fairly apropos...

I did not make any judgments or tell anyone a thing about the consequences of your vote good or bad.

some day this tax thing  will get figured out  .

Right now the government spends like a teenage girl at the mall with a no limit credit card.

Klavdy, I enjoyed reading the article in that link and I learned a few things that I didn't know before - thanks for sharing.

No Ed,I merely posted a cartoon.
You feel that about  yourself.
See the difference?

[simi_ed]

Well, you MAY THINK that I feel that about my self.  Actually, I was being a bit sarcastic.  You did see that, right?

I think we all need a hug.

Bingo Mark!  **I think we all agree with this***

To say that our government spends money like a drunken sailor, is not accurate....

At least the drunken sailor spends his  own money....

Klavdy said it, and he nailed it:  Too many wars.

K-man, you always have a hug here in the states. Not too warm and no kisses unless they are French like the twin kiss on the cheeks...
