[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what is wrong, IMO. DH and I are taxed out of half of our paychecks, while billionaires pay nothing! This is how, no matter the party, they screw us in the middle. Half of my paycheck is going to taxes, and no, it is not ok when the millionaires and billionaires pay nothing.
And then, I had to pay full in-state tuition for my kids, who did not even qualify for any aid from BCS. We don't earn that little, but we sure could not afford full rides, either. If my kids were allowed to take student loans, they would have been forgiven now. But they were not allowed to have that option.
No, it is not better for me under republicans because it is all the same for me, no relief ever. I don't qualify for any housing aid, meal programs, or student financial aid, but I sure can't afford an SFH that is the median price for the DMV.[/quote]

I agree about the billionaires. Every thinking person does.  But you can't make more than $400k and whine about "us in the middle."  You just can't.  [/quote]

Making more than 400k and whining about budget says you're bad with money.

My husband and I make about that but we don't buy expensive cars or boats or whatever.  I do a lot of donations but I'd be happy to pay more for good schools, clean air and water, and child welfare programs.  I don't think I'm better or work harder than people who make less money.[b]  I benefited from the social programs created by higher tax rates when I was younger,[/b] I'm not going to vote against those opportunities for other kids.[/quote]

This doesn’t make any sense. Most social programs for kids are provided by states. This post is about the federal income tax. Unless you’re saying you were on Medicare or social security disability as a child, and in that case the programs have only expanded over the last few decades.

So your comment doesn’t make any sense.

Please answer what social programs were created by the federal government through higher tax rates when you were a kid.  Waiting for an answer.
