Higher taxes do NOT equal more government, where do you get that sh*t from? Flat tax won't work 50% tax on my income is more damaging to a 50% tax on a millionaires income.
It is always "someone else's" responsibility to pay for Government right Phreakwars? How many people do you employ? The millionare will usually reinvest his profit back into his company, hire more workers and do more business that generates more tax revenue for the Government.
Why is your income more sacred? Why should you be excluded?
The less money a person makes, the more Government services they take advantage of, the 'fair tax' is a consumption tax, if you spend a lot of money but hide that income (like shady rich guys or even drug dealers) then your still paying your fair share to support the Government operations. Hide your money in an off shore account or keep it in a mattress, who cares, because you still have to spend money to live, and there is no loopholes for that.
How the hell do you get higher taxes for the rich means bigger government?
What, the government has more money now to buy more government employees? Is that the kind of sh*t point your trying to make?
I have no idea what your talking about, I want less Government, if we move to the 'fair tax' then we can fire all IRS workers because thye will no longer be needed, that would save America billions right there in tax revenue.
How about tax the rich higher means offset the lower tax rate to the middle class.
This is why TJ is such a moron, he cheers on the people who keeps him subservient. Then accuses the opposition of sh*t like socialism?
No, you Progressives want class warfare, you envy the rich and want to punish them for having more than you have. The problem is while you Progressives are punishing the rich you at the same time discourage that same rich guy from investing and creating new jobs. Why invest his money if most of the profit must go to the Government?
Subservient?
That is what you want Phreakwars, but you just want us to be subservient to an all powerful Federal Government.
I do not want that. I want the freedom to succeed or fail on my own power, I don't need or want an all powerful Government to take care of me. Any help the Government could provide would have twise the negative reaction to someone else. When you take from one person to give to another you don't get a 100% result because the monster that is created must also support itself. So to give me $1, the monster must take $2, $1 for me, and $1 for itself. So to help me with $1, someone else had $2 stolen from them, and the only real winner is the monster who never existed before, but now gobbles up money without remorse.
