Tax rates. What say you?

Flash said:
I agree. Does that include immigration control--I don't see any delegated authority for it? Or, the president's power to send troops with no congressional declaration of war? Or, presidential executive orders. Or, the president's power to fire people he has appointed?

I am not opposed to all those things--just pointing out there is no delegated authority for them.

Do you see the words "food stamps", "healthcare", or any other term that implies social programs?

No, I never claimed those were delegated powers (or Social Security or Medicare), but you failed to answer the questions about immigration control, executive orders, sending troops, or firing people he appointed.

What you did was avoid answering my question and now try to run from doing so, again.

Quite often we hear from our leftist friends on JPP that the federal gobblement just isn't collecting enough of the hard earned money that American citizens make. I hear quite often from JPP leftists that the United States should enact the top marginal tax rates from the 1950s on "the rich". Depending on the leftist, they believe that the federal gobblement should confiscate anywhere from between 70-90% of the income earned by "the rich".

I believe that it is politically cheap to sit and call for what you believe others should have to pay in taxes. That is easy to say, particularly if it will never have to apply to you.


So the question I have for our board leftists is what percentage of your income do you think the federal gobblement should take from YOU personally? Not what you think they should take from others, but what you think they should take from you? What is the highest rate YOU want to pay out of your own pocket.

Personally, I believe that the federal gobblement should take NOmore than 15% from any American citizen. Period.

I wonder how many of our JPP leftist friends will have the courage to step up?

If tax evaders like Donald Trump paid their fair share of taxes, no one, including him, should have to pay more than 15%.

And I was all for giving commerce a break, and bringing their tax rates down- BUT ONLY IF THE MOTHERFUCKING REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE ENDED THE LOOP-HOLES THE RICH HAVE BEEN UNFAIRLY USING TO SKIRT THEIR TAXES ALREADY FOR YEARS.

But no, they didn't- they only ended the only tax breaks most hard working families had- they took away the deduction for interest on their mortgages!

My question to you was in the previous post. You have to answer my post first before I answered yours. However, if you read carefully, you will see I did answer your question.

CFM Question: "Do you see the words "food stamps", "healthcare", or any other term that implies social programs?

Flash Answer: "No, I never claimed those were delegated powers (or Social Security or Medicare),"

Read slowly and you will see things you said were not there.

That was my first post. In response to your comment that the government should not perform functions not specifically delegated to it, I asked:

"Does that include immigration control--I don't see any delegated authority for it? Or, the president's power to send troops with no congressional declaration of war? Or, presidential executive orders. Or, the president's power to fire people he has appointed?"

What? You need me to read you a bed time story? Let me fluff your pillow, tuck you in, and start on page one!

All million and a half pages of the current tax code- that Donnie said he was going to get down to just a few pages- and he said he would end all the loopholes in the tax code! Fucking Lying Bastard!

Here! You go read the tax code yourself!

I've already answered it twice: "Flash Answer: "No, I never claimed those were delegated powers (or Social Security or Medicare),"

Now it's your turn to answer.

You answered a question that wasn't asked. Interesting how you think that's how it works.

You obviously forgot what question you asked.

CFM: "Do you see the words "food stamps", "healthcare", or any other term that implies social programs?"

Flash: No

The question that you say was not asked was clearly asked by you. I gave a clear answer.

Now, I am ready for your answer.

Again, not an answer to the question that was asked.

You just argue for the sake of it. The question was "do you see the words....."

That is a yes or no question. My answer was no. What more do you want (other than just avoiding giving any answers yourself).

CFM: "Do you see the words "food stamps", "healthcare", or any other term that implies social programs?"

This is the question you asked that you now claim you didn't ask.
