@NCQDeLaat Your comments are unenlightened, many Socialist countries ie Norway and Sweden etc are far ahead of the US in every way. They are not obsessed with making money like you and their world awareness, values, and measure of success are superior in every way to the US. I would have thought you may have revised your love of corporatism that you dress up as capitalism. However the main issue you have not considered is that they are a much happier society than yours.

"Money and wealth is a reward for being smarter and more talented then the next person. The better you are, the more you make. If you can produce a better product for a cheaper cost, then you get more sales. When you get these sales, you need to expand. In order to make the better product, you need to hire the best workers. The more you expand, the more workers you hire."

And the more tax you should pay.

What is the top tax bracket in the US and at what income level does it apply?

[NCQDeLaat]

If you let a government (even if you can find one that doesn't mess everything up they touch) that will equally distribute money, you will have two results.

1. The talented people who are producing will stop. There will be no point.

2. Everyone will be poor, because if there is nothing to produce, there is no-where to work.

Then there will be NO wealth to distribute because there will be no dollars coming in.

No socialist country has ever expanded or lasted. It only leads to war of survival.

[NCQDeLaat]

Socialism? Are you serious? You have not been in a third world country have you?

Money and wealth is a reward for being smarter and more talented then the next person. The better you are, the more you make.  If you can produce a better product for a cheaper cost, then you get more sales.

When you get these sales, you need to expand. In order to make the better product, you need to hire the best workers. The more you expand, the more workers you hire. Follow yet?

If the federal government can't exist on a flat 10% income tax then its time to end the federal government.

Explain to me where in the founding documents you found enumeration to take from me and others and give it to someone else and I don't care how noble the cause, show me this wonder text.

The Republicans are creating a Reverse "French Revolution"!

Instead of rioting in the streets to bring down the "Aristocratic Tyranny" ,

They're fighting to put the wealthy back on the Throne!

The Fucking TOOLS don't even see it....

@raycgunn Some businesses are making so much money (since the Bush tax cuts) that they are paying themselves enormous bonuses. So, no. As for not paying taxes at all, try living in Somalia.

21 million jobs were created under Clinton, and in 2000, was 7 years from completely paying down the debt.

Bush and his tax cuts created 1 million jobs and got us into debt.

@JRMCNEA post of the week, man. so true.

[raycgunn]

If the Corporations and businesses get tax cuts, wouldn't that reduce production and administrative costs, bringing the prices down and keeping more money in regular people's pockets?

How about they just stop collecting income taxes PERIOD, and end the FED? That would make more sense than this shell game they are doing by shuffling money around in the same pot.
