[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Just because I make more than 250,000 doesn't mean I'm rich. In fact I feel as if I can just enjoy our salary after trying to educate 2 kids etc. we worked hard for this. Instead of asking for higher taxes why don't you just write a check to the government?

If you only make a little bit more than $250,000 you would hardly notice a tax increase (it's marginal, you know). If you make a lot more than $250,000 you might notice the tax, but, guess what?  In that case, you're rich.

But you haven't articulated why the government should take more of our money.  Except that they should. [/quote]

NP because we need to pay our bills like anyone else.  We the People have decided on a social security system, a medicare system, defense infrastructure and wars that costs a certain amount of money.  And because of that we have racked up a lot of debt, which we need to pay down.

One thing is clear from the last budget debates.  The Republicans can't even put together a plan that accomplishes this, without taxes, and has solid Republican support.  Because in the end, Congressmen want to keep their jobs, and Americans want to keep their programs.  It's that simple. [/quote]

Actually we need to raise taxes to pay for Obamacare. A plan that just raises healthcare costs. The current tax structure as fucked up as it is covers everything else. And have you ever heard of budget cuts? [b]Govt workers make too damn much and we have too many of them. We need to slash.[/b][/quote]

Yeah, our budget was doing great before the health care plan.  Nice try.  Silly lie.[/quote]

The lazy, incompetent, unqualified ones. Not so for the hardworking, overqualified ones.[/quote]
