Income Tax Cut, JFK Hopes To Spur Economy 1962/8/13

When combined tax contributions exceed 51%, we can rightfully consider ourselves enslaved by Government.

This is NOT the way the system was designed. Its death by 1000 paper cuts: Each time Liberty is lost, we suck it up and move on.

With King George they rebelled at 14 % total taxation or something like that.

Democrats do believe in tax cuts,just not for people earning 10 million a year

Democrats do not believe in tax cuts. Taking money from those who earn it and giving it to those who do not even pay taxes is not a tax cut.

You seem to imply that teachers,mechanics,carpenters etc dont deserve a tax cut,why not?

Tax cuts should be for people who pay taxes. Other than that, it is simply legalized robbery.

Are you saying that 'average middle class and working class people are all bludgers and dont work,you seem to imply that its there fault,i agree that people who dont pay taxes shouldnt deserve tax cuts but ''middle class people whjo actually work deserve a break

No, I am not saying that at all. All taxpayers need and deserve tax cuts.

I dont believe democrats believe in giving tax cuts to people on welfare as you suggest,there are people doing it hard at the moment,its mostly people who earn less than 250000 that wont have taxes raised but it will be interesting to see if Obama keeps that promise

He won't. He can't, especially if he gets all of the programs that he wants. Remember that Clinton did the same thing: promised a middle class tax ut, and then, not only did he not cut middle class taxes,but he raised them substantially.
