Lucky... 0 #26 March 28, 2010 Quote Quote I'm with Mike, fuck the elderly You know, you run your mouth an AWFUL lot by lying about other people's views - do you always do that, or is it a recent thing for you? Didn't you want Medicare to be curtailed or just plain cut? Isn't SS and Medicare stealing? What do we do, Mike, when the population ages and the money runs out? Don't let me put words in your mouth, go ahead and tell me/us what you would want done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truly an unbiased, reliable source. Nice one. OMG, Mike posted a source .

funjumper101 15 #28 March 28, 2010 QuoteQuotewhile the highest income tax payers pay less and less, in terms of a percentage of income, the more they make. Really? Better go to the IRS site and look up the tax rate schedules. But, while we're on the subject - maybe you can tell all us ignorant plebs which is greater - 15% of 30k, or 28% of 170k? We'd really like to know the answer so we can get our tax forms filled out. QuoteAbsolutely totally pathetic. And proud of it, too. Lack of reading comprehension = Right wing followers can't read and think??? Do the facts conflict with opinions expressed? You decide... Social Security Taxes. Social Security Taxes. Social Security Taxes. Social Security Taxes. Social Security Taxes. Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. Cap on income for Social Security Taxes. If something is repeated enough times, comprehension may set in. Bullshit items not related to issue at hand is a classic wingut technique for obscuring the FACTS and confusing the simple minded. The fact is, as a percentage of income, Social Security taxes go DOWN, once you break the 108K income cap. No matter how much you would like to obscure this FACTUAL documentation of the actual reality of the matter, it is the truth. The higher your income, the less you pay as a percentage of your income for SS taxes, once you pass the 108K income limit. No matter how much the right wing media manages to ignore the facts, it is FACT and cannot be reasonably disputed. I did not write about INCOME taxes. I wrote about SOCIAL SECURITY taxes. You know, the taxes that apply to the system that you have SO much concern about. You have so much concern that you'll bitch about it. Unfortunately, you don't have enough concern to actually support doing ANYTHING reasonable to solve the problem. I am still waiting for a reasonable explanation as to WHY you and your kind think that the uneven application of the SOCIAL SECURITY tax, in terms of percentage of income, is fair and just. Your own words, please. Why is this fair, just and reasonable? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No matter how much the right wing media manages to ignore the facts, it is FACT and cannot be reasonably disputed. Which is more - 2.8% of 10k, or 2.8% of 100k? Where in the law does it say that SS tax is supposed to be a progressive tax? Show your cite. QuoteI did not write about INCOME taxes. I wrote about SOCIAL SECURITY taxes. Then why did you say "the highest INCOME TAX PAYERS"? QuoteI am still waiting for a reasonable explanation as to WHY you and your kind think that the uneven application of the SOCIAL SECURITY tax, in terms of percentage of income, is fair and just. Your own words, please. Why is this fair, just and reasonable? Please explain how 2.8% of 10k is more than 2.8% of 100k. Failing that, show where the law says that SS tax is supposed to be a progressive tax.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
