@sonic8005 Actually...no, the richest people in the country don't get any tax cuts. Lol. Alright, bye. Sorry I upset you, this must be the first time anyone has ever disagreed with you on a subject. Bye though.

[sonic8005]

@Robbie12992 The richest people in this country get very large tax breaks. They pay less of their income.

If you don't even want to know that either then you're too ignorant for me to deal with. Goodbye.

@Robbie12992 "And I don't think you know exactly what you're talking about"

And you've outright stated you don't know what you're talking about. Again, your argument begins and ends with the dates and the numbers, then you do absolutely NOTHING to ask about how this is or why it is.

I'm not saying it's all Bush's fault. That's not my argument. My argument is that you need to investigate all of it. You could very well be rewarding congressmen who are also responsible.

[Robbie12992]

@sonic8005 And I don't think you know exactly what you're talking about. Someone who is thought of as being rich doesn't pay any less in taxes than someone earning less than them, but they pay more. Where have you been?

[Robbie12992]

@sonic8005 Bush isn't the sole reason that the economy that the economy is doing as bad as it is right now, and I'll tell you why. Bush hasn't been president for over three years.

@Robbie12992 "I don't know where all the money went, that question is irrelevant"

That's not 'irrelevant" that's the most important part if you want to blame Obama, show what he's done exactly. The exact problem is you try not to. We still have those policies from Bush in power and Obama's done very little in office, what decisions did HE make to increase the deficeit? You want to blame him when you admit you don't know. It's very important to know these things.

[sonic8005]

@Robbie12992 The problem isn't that. The problem is that because that child is rich they get to make a higher income and have to pay LESS of that than the people who make less than them. That's what the system is set up as. That's the thing you have to defend and that's a question you can't answer.

[Robbie12992]

@sonic8005 Bush caused the national debt to jump just under 5 trillion dollars in 8 years. Sine Obama has taken office, the national debt has jumped just under 5 trillion dollars in 3 years. I don't want Bush to be blamed anymore, he's not president, but he got all of the blame when he was. Obama is president, and he wants to place all of the blame on someone that hasn't been president in over 3 years.

[Robbie12992]

@sonic8005 I don't know where all the money went, that question is irrelevant. If you want to see what Obama did to the country, then search the national debt clock on google. Click the second link and you'll see the national in the years 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2011. In the year 2000, the national was at 5.66 trillion. By the end of Bush's second term, the national debt was 10.7 trillion. Obama took office. In the year 2011, three years after he took office, the debt is 15.13 trillion.

@sonic8005 If someone that earns a hundred thousand dollars and pays taxes on the hundred thousand, until they're left with seventy thousand dollars gives fifty thousand dollars to their child, then their child shouldn't be expected to pay taxes on something that the government has already taken from.
