[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone has worked for their money honestly and fairly, and they are now a billionaire or millionaire because of it, then I wouldn’t accuse them of hoarding their money and not giving it too the poor. People should provide for those who need help, but it should be a voluntary decision, not forced. A flat tax will work fine, everyone pays their fair share.[/quote]

You are not very bright.  Flat taxes penalize the poor.  During the time of Eisenhower, taxes on the rich were double what they are now.  Back when people cared about each other as a society.[/quote]

I honestly believe there is a strong connection between the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the inadequate tax rate we have today. Racism is a nation-wide thing, of course, but conservative southerners in particular couldn't abide their tax dollars going to black people. Reagan's tales of welfare queens and young bucks eating T-bones struck pay dirt. [/quote]

Corporations are the biggest recipient of welfare. They pay slave wages, and the workers have to take government benefits just to live. As a result, the struggling middle class pays.

So next time you hear someone complaining about poor people on food stamps- remember the real welfare queens: the CEO's who make 470 times what their workers do and make all of us pay for their multi-million dollar salaries.[/quote]
