IRS Data Shows: "The Rich" Pay Higher Rates

Well that's an absolute lie.

I live to the east of those buildings and more than twice the distance from the Empire State Building transmitters as they do. And I get antenna reception fine.

All the buildings would have to do is attach the cable wiring to an antenna on the roof and presto, instant reception.

So stop making shit up.

Taichi lives and works there too so he's not making shit up.

Yeah, he does.

The cable tv industry is only about 30 to 35 years old in NYC.

The public housing buildings went up in the post-war years up through the late 1960s.

That would mean the people lived without television for all of those years? No, not likely.

Like I said, I live twice as far from the ESB transmitters than they do, with more buildings in the way, and I use antenna television. They can get better reception than I can.

Lifeline started during the reagan administration. Were you bitching like this during the 16 years it was in effect under repub presidents?

Why didn't bushes senior and junior dismantle the program?

Corporations and millionaires were NOT hurting on pre-Reagan tax rates. But 30 years of reagonomics (with a nice assist from Clinton) have devastated this country's economy....period.

You have to divorce yourself from this notion of "trickle down" economy....it doesn't work no matter how many times it's implemented or believed in.

The information I posted regarding those corporations who are NOT paying taxes shows how a monumental amount of revenue is being withheld from federal and state coffers....small wonder the country is in economic dire straits.

The S&L scandal and Enron should demonstrate to many that stock holders are NOT owners of a corporation. Wall St. plays games, and many learned that lesson the hard way.

Um there are millions more millionaires, now than there was then!
Most from the middle class
I'm guessing we have a different experience in the economy!

Um, there is working middle class, middle class, and upper middle class. Who was more likely to make the jump you are referring to?

I have a boss whose a multi-millionaire like that. I'm not someone who likes debt, but he keeps rolling over his money into mortgages, buying rental properties over and over.

He's real good at it. I lack the mindset.

Maybe. She only thinks she's for the poor. but if she really were she would be able to criticize outsourcing and globalization, but she can't. Her concern for the poor is fake.

Prior to the Dude's comment a few posts back, the wisest thing I'd read on this forum had come from I Love America in response to someone just like you. In effect he said "Why do you outsource your compassion to the government?"

Bazinga! Niiiiiice.
