matter of fact, it says in that article that it would benefit the rich. so, of course paul will want to propose things that would get the koch bros and others like them to back him financially. |
"Stop spending money you don't have."
Wow, that is controversial. Can you even say that in America anymore? :rolleyes: |

When was the last year that the government actually made a dent in the principal of the debt, not just balancing the budget based on the current yearly deficit alone? A long time ago. |

i know the country hasn't been out of debt since andrew jackson was president. and the income tax was 'temporary'. Quote:

Then maybe they'll at least spare us the endless comparisons to how Americans run their lives at the kitchen table. The common citizen does indeed have to try to spend some fraction of what they take in - after they are taxed of course. The government on the other hand does no such thing. They total it up, and add it to the debt via a deficit for the year. Simple as that. Which is how you eventually get up to 18 trillion dollars in debt and beyond. |

also, note: Because flat tax proposals lower rates at the top, and because the top is where an increasing share of income is being concentrated, they also tend to bring in significantly less revenue than the current tax code, resulting in higher deficits, fewer public investments, and pressure to cut programs like Social Security and Medicare |
Here's the tell on who Rand's tax benefits:
"Investment income: Capital gains, dividends and interest would be tax free." In other words, where rich people get most of their income. So he's saying working schlubs pay tax, and the hereditary wealthy pay no tax. I am surprised so many right-wingers spout off about their alleged love of freedom, since it's clear that they don't want a democratic society; they want a feudalistic one. Where the peasants support the aristocrats. That's what this flat tax proposal is. The poor and working class paying for the wealthy. |

The notion the rich don't pay more than their fair share is complete fantasy. But then again it only affects 10% so who cares? It's not like they're being denied pizza at their weddings. |
