Nothing. What's wrong with having the rich share in the workload as well?

\

they do they pay 90% of the bill already. we have 10% paying 90%. Time to shift some of the burden to the bottom 30% of the people.

And yet another example of why we will never get anywhere. You demand that everyone compromise their politics for the good of the many, as long as "everyone" does not include you. Congratulations; you've mastered the politician's way of thinking.

no you don't seem to understand how good resposible people are, I don't mind paying some taxes, just don't like paying taxes when some many don't. I don't feel me, or anyone has the right to not pay for things. If everyone pulled their wieght the job would be much easier on everyone.

The problem is people like you that feel some do not have to contribute.

No

Just start a solar company and then ask the Obama admin for some money

After you get the money, layoff the employess and then pay you and a couple other execs million dollar bonus's (out or the tax dollars you get)

You can end up with a few million this way


Oh, but you got to bundle re-election money for Obama first

Right, you go after the rich people, those who can provide the funds.

Same reason you don't pitch homeless people for venture capital.

Yet, you think the poor should fund the mistakes of the rich.

Mine post is based on facts that have happened

When you need money, you tend to ask people who have money. That's not fiction, that's common sense.

It costs the IRS a little under $3 to process a paper return. Most of the people who would be added with an "everyone pays somethig" rule would be filing with paper -- they don't have computers or computer savvy.

Since, again, some of these are going to be less educated, costs are very possibly going to be even higher due to errors. Hard to cut government when you have to add a boatload of IRS people to process all that.

Having a mandatory volunteer requirement if you don't pay taxes (with a few exemptions based on disability, age, or maybe taking care of someone totally disabled) makes more sense to me.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Yes, you have given all the usual reasons why you refuse to compromise unless your demands are met. Both sides have gotten very good at that.

We have to raise taxes and cut spending if we are going to close the budget gap. That will never happen, and you have given the reason why in your past few posts.

Bill, is it wrong to feel that ALL people should contribute? How about we send some of these freeloaders over to your house for some free food and a place to sleep.

If you think it is such a great life to be a freeloader, why don't you try doing it for two months?

Try and live off welfare and foodstamps for 2 months. The concept that a majority of these people enjoy living like that is laughable.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why no one will ever make any progress with the debt problem. No one will be willing to sacrifice their golden calf until they get their political favors granted.

Repub: "Sure, I'm OK with raising taxes - as long as you tax those lazy fucks first!"

Dem: "Sure, I'm OK with cutting programs - as long as you tax the evil rich first!"

Result? What we have today.

what is wrong with having everybody share in the workload?

It breaks up the voter base

I remember when people would work hard or got made fun of or chastized, now those that don't work get coddled and given things.

Well, among the biggest beneficiaries of taxpayer support were the bankers who precipitated the recession through their greed. On the whole I'd rather give $10 to a homeless unemployed person than $10Million to a Wall St. banker.
