First, to give a tax cut to anyone will include the evil rich. They, too, are briefly part of the lower tax brackets on their way up to the top ones. Half of America pays little or no federal income taxes as it is.. how are you going to reduce a tax burden to those that pay basically nothing (other than increase the earned income credit)? Second, according to the Wall Street Journal the top 20% of wage earners pay 87% of all income taxes. And yet there are those who moan that the rich don't pay their fair share. Third, where is it written the government can't do with less? Where is it written that the government spends our money more wisely than the individual that earned it does? The CBO's analysis of the latest round of tax cuts don't share the doom and gloom of the "we can't afford it" hysteria. Like it or not, tax cuts work. JFK knew it, as did Ronald Reagan.

^ Bingo!
Cut out all of the parasitic middlemen and healthcare will become a lot more affordable for the common folk. People bitch about welfare handouts, but what are many of these jobs in the middling corporate ladders except employment programs for those who have college educations yet are not actually capable of producing anything of value to society? And every paper pushing middle manager consumes several times what a welfare recipient is given. I'm reminded of that scene in "Wall Street" where Gordon Gekko is bitching about a company having 33 different vice presidents, and he can't figure out what any of them actually do.

Today Switzerland and France don't get enough "generalists", young medicine students want to become specialists, because they earn a lot more with less work. We get surgeons who earn a million dollar per year. WTF... what happens to the oath of Hypocrates. I've got a friend that get an allergy since two years. Doctors and specialists do not find the cause, but each time he has to pay 200 US$ after the visit. He's disgusted. He earns a small wage and tried to save money by taking the less expensive health insurance. The most expensive "basic" health insurance costs about 5000 US$ a year for a franchise of 400 US$, the less expensive cost about 2500 US$ for a franchise of 2800 US$. |

http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/brief...nternationally https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...s_by_tax_rates It is true that the wealthy pay the overwhelming amount of taxes. That seems fair to me as they receive most of the wealth. The United States government was created by the Founding Fathers to prevent the poor from seizing wealth and property from the rich. Please consult the Notes of the Constitutional Convention if you are unclear on this point. |
