These are mostly teachers that were chanting this. The union paid for their day off and provided ways for them to get to this rally to rally to take more money from everyone else and give themselves more money.
The 66% hike in taxes here in IL was the same cost as my dental insurance. So, thank you teachers for my families lack of dental insurance.
These people are calling themselves stupid. They believe that the state knows better than the taxpayer how money should be spent. Another possibility is that these people depend on government handouts and do not pay taxes. They just wish to leech more money from people who actually work for a living.
There's no helping these people, and if you think they're confused, the joke's on you/us. Lots of useful idiots would be perfectly happy paying 98% taxes in exchange for the gov't providing them with food, shelter, clothing, health care, a vehicle, a gasoline allowance, education, child care, a phone, cable, and the like. We snicker, but I wouldn't have believed it myself until I heard a woman say it. Since then, I've heard many versions of the same. Do I have the right to post-birth abort them?
Anyone who wants the government to Forcefully STEAL More money from us by raising Taxes are basically brain-dead zombies who love celebrities and politicians more so than they do their own lives and their own freedoms. They want to be coddled by Strangers in Washington D.C. so they do not have to use their brains in any sort of productive way. They want to be taken care of from womb to tomb, like children, or like pets.
I'm assuming all these protestors that want their taxes raised must be the 47% that don't pay any taxes, so they just want to make it fair to the rest of us that they have been freedloading on. Yeah Right!
@grantraf Please don't assume. (Instead, if you're not happy with the idea of raising taxes, offer another solution(s) to Illinois' current crises.) I happen to know some hardworking people who are not expecting to freeload who protested there (and no, I wasn't one of them--I had school)
from NJ Gov speech: One state retiree, 49 years old, paid, over the course of his entire career, a total of $124,000 towards his retirement pension and health benefits. What will we pay him? $3.3 million in pension payments over his life and nearly $500,000 for health care benefits -- a total of $3.8m on a $120,000 investment. Is that fair? - - CA will be bailed out first. Good site called pension tsunami. We are screwed.
Either these people are really stupid, or just tax illiterate. There is NO law that says you can't PAY more than you actually owe on your taxes. In fact you can out and out tell them you don't want your refund. So if you mean what you say and you say what you mean then go right a ahead and get your check book out and write that check. Me personally I know what's coming down the pike and I'll just keep my own money.
If you want to know how out of touch with reality these people are, you only have to know that this video was posted with the purpose of SUPPORTING these nuts. They really believe that this video scores points for their argument.
in 2009 the percentage of u.s. citizens paying income taxes fell to 47%. 150 million people paying for services of 310 million people. raise our taxes? our taxes?
If thesepeople really want their taxes raised, by all means get their names and social security numbers and let them seft up a monthly bank draft from teir accounts. Of course, they don't want THEIR taxes raised. They want everyone else's raised. Thisis exactly the reason the state is out of money now. I would be wiling to bet that 80% of these morons couldn't even tell you who their legislators are if you asked them.
What they mean is raise their taxes! This is drummed staged rage! The union has to push for a tax increase in Democrat run Illinois? A true sign of weakness! Vote them out!
so what they're really asking for is "raise everyone's taxes". if they want to chip in, why don't they take a pay cut? that way they're not forcing anyone else to pay more. in a way it's very sneaky. by raising everyone's taxes in the long run they will probably be wealthier as their salaries as state employees will be raised too.
so really this is a rally where people are converging on springfield demanding more money.
Raise our taxes? Are you serious? Wow, now I know that the coolaid punch has been consumed by these idiots. Why not chant "fuck me in the ass" Fuck me in the ass".

When you try to share this video on facebook, a pop-up comes up that says:
Warning: This Message Contains Blocked Content
Some content in this message has been reported as abusive by Facebook users.
And denies you the ability to share it on facebook. Now, THAT is some serious censorship.

wasn't this a state union employee rally?
so what they're really asking for is "raise everyone's taxes". if they want to chip in, why don't they take a pay cut? that way they're not forcing anyone else to pay more. in a way it's very sneaky. by raising everyone's taxes in the long run they will probably be wealthier as their salaries as state employees will be raised too.
