2) Society should take care of the less fortunate, but the government isn't society. The government is force. We as individuals have responsibilities for our fellow man through charity, not through force.

4) Isn't the government greedy for wanting to steal your money as opposed to the 1% that want to keep the money they earned?

@TimeWarp66 i would also like to point out that if you are a christian whom believes in helping others than you should, but when our country is on the verge of collapse the government cannot afford to tax the wealthy tremendously and lose more jobs.
@DillonDee1 If you want to take care of the less fortunate then you should be smart enough to want low taxes. Then you'll have more money to help them. FACT: Charities (churches and other) give .80-.92 of every $1 to the recipients (the people needing help). FACT: Government programs give .19-.35 of every $1 to the recipient (the people needing help). Government wastes nearly 75% of every $1 sent to in in bureaucratic inefficiency. That is STUPID.
@DillonDee1 WRONG. All charities must get a MINUMUM of 80% of all reciepts to their beneficiaries. That includes churches. You are talking about a scam I guess, and therefore you are disingenuous. That is understandable since all of your posts are misguided.
@DillonDee1 It isn't a tax regulation. It is a regulation governing charities. You can also google to find out any charity's percent to recipients. They are all 2-3 TIMES higher than a gov't program. You are one committed socialist, even in the face of moutains of evidence that it fails.
@DillonDee1 Ummm, yes there are SEVERAL sites. Do you think searching google with keywords like "charities" and "efficiency" and/or "amount to recipients" and/or "overhead costs" etc. Are you this dumb? All of your other posts are stupid, and everyone attacks you for your ignorance. Maybe you should go read a book. Getting educated is a right-wing thing though.

ThinkProgress (Koch Bros) has paid big bucks to get House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan to their secrett meetings. Ryan, who has a history of flying off to junkets for groups of bankers like the Club for Growth & is pushing for radical cuts to Medicare & Soc Security in his “Roadmap for America’s Future.” In line with Koch’s supply-side side ideology of soakin the poor, Ryan’s budget i also calls for increasing taxes on the middle class while cutting them for the rich

~~~America DOES have a REVENUE problem which SHOULD be a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY. Since Reagan, REPUBLICAN CLOWN GOD, the GOP AGENDA has been to REDUCE REVENUE in order to facilitate PRIVATIZATIONor ELIMINATION of programs such as MEDICARE,SOCIAL SECURITY,UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS& others.~~~PRIVATIZATION would be followed by an INCREASE in the costs of these services thus generating HUGE PROFITS at citizens' expense.INSTEAD of generating revenue REPUBLICANS want the NEEDIEST to do with LESS.
@DillonDee1 1) You cannot prove that. You don't even have any evidence of it. It's just bullcrap class warfare you're using because your ilk can't make logical arguments and thus must rely on emotional ones, and being the evil hatemongers that you are, hate is one of your favorite emotions to evoke. 2) Income disparity is not inherently wrong, anyway.
@poindexterwitkowsky You're a tool spouting utterly baseless charges and over-the-top vitriolic insults. The fact that you're getting "likes" proves just how intellectually bankrupt the Leftist useful idiots here are.
This plan is so much better than the plan Mr. Obama and his Congressional allies are pushing, and yes, this is very similar to that of Mr. Obama's own bi-partisan commission! The only mystery I see is why he turned around and ignored them. The good of the nation shouldn't be held hostage to personal political ambitions any more than to Wall Street bad apples.
As a proud patriotic liberal I encourage both congress and senate to defeat every bill that would provide employment for republicans. I'm very much looking forward to the day every inbred right winger and their children have no job or home. Keep up the good work!
Thanks to liberal policy the world economy is crashing. We must do two things to stop the meltdown NOW!!! Firstly, we need to raise all payroll taxes 10% for one year. We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China for jobs. I will work with boehner,Paul Ryan and my other republican colleagues and take immediate action on these proposals. God bless the GOP!
@RONPAULFREEDUMB - this is an intelligent video and intelligent comments are welcome - name calling is juvenile - if you can't make an intelligent comment please go back to AOL or Facebook. And get off welfare and get a job and pay your "fair share" to run this country. I, for one, am tired of supporting you and the other 48% who pay no taxes and contribute nothing to society. The Fairtax would end that by insuring that ALL pay something. And BTW - businesses DO pass on all their tax bills
@sailormandave1 I can't get behind the idea we need to add a tax burden to the lowest income earners while cutting the tax rate for the wealthiest by 10%. I suppose it makes sense to you since you obviously have a real contempt for poor people don't even earn enough to have to pay taxes. The tax tables have ALWAYS had a income level below which you didn't have to pay taxes. It never crossed my mind that they also deserved anyone's contempt. I guess not everyone on the right is Christian.
@plynth2 you re right - I'm not a Christian I am a Deist. I ask only that you actually read the Fairtax book -pay attention to the part about the Prebate. Each month the government sends EVERYONE a rebate of the taxes paid on all goods and services bought up to the poverty level - right now this amounts to abt $400 a month for a family of 4. So the "poor" still pay no taxes. Illegals DO pay taxes as do others NOT paying now. How FAIR is that? Of course, the iRS does accept donations.
@sailormandave1 You have convince me to read something. In order to do that you have to make sense. You say, "the gov't sends EVERYONE a rebate of taxes paid...... " I have never received such a rebate. You say "Illegals DO pay taxes as do others NOT paying now." This meaning of this sentence eludes me. You have to try harder.
@sailormandave1 You stupid schmuck. You say businesses DO pass on their tax bills but then you claim 48% pay no taxes. You are contradicting yourself and you only wrote 3 sentences. If corporations pass on their taxes, why do they lobby for tax breaks? Ask yourself that idiot. Corporate tax liability varies from corporations to corporation. GE had no tax liability. People who compete with GE can't pass on their tax liability to their customers. Who competes with GE? Everyone dumb ass.
@RONPAULFREEDUMB Companies pass on their tax burden in the form of higher prices for their products and lower wages for their employees. However, if they didn't have that tax to pass on, they could lower their prices, increase wages, and invest more, which makes them more competetive. That is why they still need to lobby for tax breaks.
@sailormandave1 okay so wanting to have the top 1 percent pay 4.5 percent more in taxes is class warfare but you blatantly lying saying that 48 percent pay no taxes and contribute nothing to society isnt? Its a blatant lie because everyone pays payroll taxes which fund social security, medicare, and medicaid. So learn something instead of saying BS. Also, ryan's plan simply put would not give seniors enough $ for healthcare-thats a choice you can support or be against
1) FICA taxes hurt the poor the most. Get rid of them.
2) The bottom 48% pay no federal income tax.
3) 4.5% more is an arbitrary number. Why not 3.5% more? Or 10% more? Taxation is theft. And taxing those who create jobs hurts us all. Especially the middle class and poor.
4) Do you think the government knows how to spend your money better than you do?
What? There is a great plan out there that fixes ALL this and much more - The FAIRTAX - if lowering the corp tax rate to 25% is good - the FairTax lowers it to 0% - yes thats ZERO. How good would that be? Everyone knows it doesn't matter how much you tax corporations - they are just going to pass it along to the consumer anyway. So let the consuumer pay it at the point of purchase just as he does now and take all the compliance burden off of corporations. Presto - cheaper stuff.
@sailormandave1 You dumb ass. If corporations merely pass on their taxes to consumers, why do they spend billions lobbying for tax breaks? You silly bitch.
i am from ISRAEL. you spent a lot of money for security of us in the middle east. thats why your economy was damaged. you are so stupid because we used your tax income just improve our weapons. long live ISRAEL.
Paul Ryan has consistently not supported corporate transparency through legislature. If you look at the policy that he has supported he has no record of wanting to close tax loopholes or make taxes more competitive. He also supported oil subsidies!!!
Fair? You mean like not regulating the CDO markets at the request of banking institutions and then having tax payers bail them out. The head of AIG (AIU Holdings now) CDO was paid almost half a BILLION dollars for his orchestration of the fleecing of American workers. You want to deregulate more? Rich American's pay 15% less taxes today at 9.3% unemployment. Don't feed the public the story that increases taxes creates jobs. There is ZERO evidence of that.
I took a shit this morning....... and it reminded me alot of this ...... ( rich get richer and the poor get poorer)........ there is nothing we can do any more. you know the ordanary people. just let the US go down the fucking drain im tired of caring for somthing that isnt going to change and that i have no controll over

The only way Paul Ryan can believe one word of what he says, is to be a cultist! The Republicon Party has be come nothing but a sick delusional cult, bent on the destruction of every American achievement in the last century save the unprecedented transference of wealth to the top 2%. All they do is sabotage.
How can anyone dislike this idea??? All politics aside, this is bipartisan and simple. He isn't talking about the wealthy individuals but about the CORPORATE TAX CODE. Which doesn't just include the Walmarts, or JP Morgan's, or other big corporations, but the corporate tax rate affects SMALL BUSINESSES, which account for more jobs in this country, too! I work for a small 21 room hotel in California. Simplifying the tax code and making it fair and competitive would help my bosses enormously!
@MatchCard No it isn't Match. In fact it really pains me to see how much crap my bosses have to deal with with regards to corporate taxes, municipal taxes, ridiculous zoning laws of California, and so on. When the large portion of business are small business, something like lowering the corporate tax rate, and closing the loopholes, which most small businesses don't have because they can't afford lobbyists, makes our tax system fair. Plain and simple. What do you do, troll on Youtube all day
@TheJasonDR Get this if you took every dime from every billionaire in the U.S. you would barely have enough to cover the $1.8 trillion dollar deficit for 2011. Then what would you do next year? Attack the millionaires? Where would all the jobs come from? Can you run a small, medium or large business?
too many people coming to America to lower the rate to compete with Uk or any other country. we have a high immigration rate and we provide a lot of services. A lower tax rate would not solve the problem especially if we want to have our cake and eat it too. healthcare, social security, public assistance, low income housing, public schools and spending against a low GDP. the tax rate will be shared amongst all and at a higher rate.illegal immigrants should be taxed to help cover benefit costs.
yeah, this trickle down bullshit covert class warfare was waged against the middle class some 30 years ago and continues today!
just listen to this corporate puppet cocksucker ryan...he sounds so earnest and sincere, but don't let that cheap car salesman tactic fool you...do the math and look at stats, what's he's proposing here is more of the same...shifting tax responsibilities from the wealthy onto the middle class!

I am absolutely convinced that the only people who hate Obama are the super-rich and the super-ignorant. The super-rich alone would be a TINY portion. Their voices wouldn't even be heard if not for the super-ignorant that follow them.
And I agree, everyone should be taxed the same way. Just because one guy is a Millionaire, does not mean this guy did not work hard and bust his ass off to be where he wants to be.
I don't doubt that Obama will lose in 2012, but that's only because republicans are blaming him for everything that a republican created. He inherited problems, and it was a nice way for the Republicans to be able to point the finger at the Democrats. Had Bush been a Democrat and Obama a Republican, it would be democrats who would look like they have the answer to save America.
As long as companies can find cheaper labor rates in other countries, Jobs that were lost will never come back to America. And if the laws and regulations stay the way they are, NEW jobs will never be created.
As long as companies can find cheaper labor rates in other countries, Jobs that were lost will never come back to America. And if the laws and regulations stay the way they are, NEW jobs will never be created.
Paul Ryan's problem is that he labeled himself a Republican, had he choose to be a democrat he would be president right now. Unlike the other Republicans, Ryan sounds like a fair guy is going to look out for the whole country. Not just the Rich, like the rest of the Tea Party.
The only thing he forgot to say, business don't pay taxes, they pass on in their product or services, ONLY PEOPLE PAY TAXES, politicians love embedded tax, it makes them look good when they say, tax business.................
@OLDGUY44910 Actually, it depends on the business and it depends on the price elasticity of the product. If it's eggs or milk, yes the tax will be passed on to the consumer. Not so much for cars or other items where people are sensitive to price changes.
why don't you show the numbers for the competitive aspect the way you did for the fair? - you acknowledge the current system enables politicians to profit from lobbyists: why not make that illegal and structure things so politicians represent their constituents? THEN you'd be brave!
America has become a country of simple idiots who need basic elementary mathematics explained to them with pictures, demonstrations and the soothing voices of the GOP. This fabulous tax reform plan comes from the same people who gave us the tax code and the loopholes that we have today. Who among you really believe a party that in all actuality represents five of every 500 people in America intends to give Middle Class America a 'simpler and more fair' tax code??
i konw this is youtube and its liberal land. but, if you really look at what this guy is saying, he is right, very plain and simple. You can deny it all you can, but he is right. All the great economists of this world - Hayek, Friedman, Smith etc etc. who changed this world for the better say the same thing. Before, slandering him and the capitalist model, try and imagine a different, a polar model and see what happened. If you can't learn from history, you can't learn.
@rockersamurai Right about what exactly? I only viewed this video up to "1:32", when he states that Corporations have to pay 40 cents for each total dollar they own. Which is not only a gross over generalization, but a very deceitful pretense on how our tax system works. Corporations, and individuals are only taxed on funds they earn that breach the set income rate for their income group.
@edeal86 How does our Tax system work then? Tell me please. Lets consider for a second, Corporations are taxed only 30%. So what? Where in the world do you find these angels who would reorganize society for us anyways? Are you telling me that I can spend your money better than you can? Where is the freedom to choose here? Have we as a species become so reliant on Governments to make our decisions for us that we are willing to give them 30-40-50% of our income. History is crystal clear.
@edeal86 History is absolutely clear on what happens when the Government has so much power and is so big. I don't want to bore you with the examples. Taxation is merely disguised as a form of Government revenue but in reality it's an inhibitor to growth. Punishing success and rewarding tardiness. Corporatism just like Government are social poison and their partnership is what this guy wants to end. Unfair taxation, Tax loopholes etc. I hope you understand what I am saying. Less government.
@rockersamurai You are incorrect, Paul Ryan is anything but, an honest actor. As distinguished from is rather unambiguous track record. His Medicare plan for example, was a massive austerity cut, that shifted funds into a 10% tax rate decrease for the very wealthy. The same Laffer curve nonsense that has been failing us for years. Reagan even switched to massive government spending when even his original model started tanking the economy. As evident by his 30.6% national debt/GDP increase.
@800eddie008 Yes, I did. Please study the economics of the people I mentioned. Supply/Demand economics is the foundation of the American system. Getting loans and having your Government spend it to create jobs that have no demand is a path to failure. Does it sound reasonable to borrow money from a bank and call yourself rich? There is a reason Keynesian economics has no place in scholarship and is denied by most economists with a brain. Yes, I did study Keynes and its "free lunch" myth. Thanks
@rockersamurai "There is a reason Keynesian economics has no place in scholarship and is denied by most economists with a brain." Right, because obviously all the Nobel Prize winning Keynesian economists had to have half a brain to wipe their ass, and blow their nose. But, even these facts are all irrelevant before the propaganda of the corporatist, and conservative right. But, that is okay, perhaps our prevalent unemployment rating will decrease next year, when the dormant $2.7T trickles down.
@edeal86 Unfortunately you have failed to address my questions to you, but thats ok. You like to jump subjects. Fine. You call common sense and reasoning propaganda. That's fine too. Who would you rather have the money go to? The Government? What's its track record my friend. Almost all its "good hearted" programs have failed. It is going into more and more debt. You talk about 2.7 Trillion trickling down, there is a 14 trillion in US debt that needs to be addressed. Big gov is the real culprit.
@rockersamurai I addressed your statement in a dissent at the edge of my first comment. Which states that the sole currency that is taxed is the money earned that exceeds a set limit. The limit is determined based on what income group you are a constituent part of. Just because, the Wall Street Journal, or Fox News affirm an ideology as being common sense. Doesn't make it so. The $2.7T that is not circulating through the economy, is grasped tightly by the same special interest that--BELOW
@rockersamurai CONTINUED- is subjugating our political system through campaign expenditures in the millions. As for your "failed programs", an elaboration is needed to clarify these said "programs".
His biggest backers are the ones who stand to make a butt-load of cash, by privatizing S.S. and Medicare/Medicaid. Putting those same programs into the hands of the same folks that destroyed the economy. Now they have even less regulation on Wall Street. I don't know about you, but in my lifetime the market has tanked 3 different times. Don't believe him.
In 2009 a film came out that describes Paul Ryan's Path to Prosperity perfectly.
It's called "The Road." I highly reccommend it.

ThinkProgress (Koch Bros) has paid big bucks to get House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan to their secrett meetings. Ryan, who has a history of flying off to junkets for groups of bankers like the Club for Growth & is pushing for radical cuts to Medicare & Soc Security in his “Roadmap for America’s Future.” In line with Koch’s supply-side side ideology of soakin the poor, Ryan’s budget i also calls for increasing taxes on the middle class while cutting them for the rich

Three steps to tax reform:
1) cut the rates for people making up to 100K
2) tax capital gains and dividends like ordinary income
3) create new brackets for people with income of 500K or more. Top rate should be 50% like it was under Reagan.

We also need to stop (right now) wasteful handout programs like medicare, social security, unemployment,, etc. and lower the minimum wage to $2/hr so we can compete with China for jobs.

@sailormandave1 I can't get behind the idea we need to add a tax burden to the lowest income earners while cutting the tax rate for the wealthiest by 10%. I suppose it makes sense to you since you obviously have a real contempt for poor people don't even earn enough to have to pay taxes. The tax tables have ALWAYS had a income level below which you didn't have to pay taxes. It never crossed my mind that they also deserved anyone's contempt. I guess not everyone on the right is Christian.

@plynth2 you re right - I'm not a Christian I am a Deist. I ask only that you actually read the Fairtax book -pay attention to the part about the Prebate. Each month the government sends EVERYONE a rebate of the taxes paid on all goods and services bought up to the poverty level - right now this amounts to abt $400 a month for a family of 4. So the "poor" still pay no taxes. Illegals DO pay taxes as do others NOT paying now. How FAIR is that? Of course, the iRS does accept donations.

People who compete with GE can't pass on their tax liability to their customers. Who competes with GE? Everyone dumb ass.

@RONPAULFREEDUMB Companies pass on their tax burden in the form of higher prices for their products and lower wages for their employees. However, if they didn't have that tax to pass on, they could lower their prices, increase wages, and invest more, which makes them more competetive. That is why they still need to lobby for tax breaks.

You talk about 2.7 Trillion trickling down, there is a 14 trillion in US debt that needs to be addressed. Big gov is the real culprit.

The limit is determined based on what income group you are a constituent part of. Just because, the Wall Street Journal, or Fox News affirm an ideology as being common sense. Doesn't make it so. The $2.7T that is not circulating through the economy, is grasped tightly by the same special interest that--BELOW

@rockersamurai CONTINUED- is subjugating our political system through campaign expenditures in the millions. As for your "failed programs", an elaboration is needed to clarify these said "programs".

His biggest backers are the ones who stand to make a butt-load of cash, by privatizing S.S. and Medicare/Medicaid. Putting those same programs into the hands of the same folks that destroyed the economy. Now they have even less regulation on Wall Street. I don't know about you, but in my lifetime the market has tanked 3 different times. Don't believe him.
