It will cost more than 700 billion if we eliminate tax cuts.



I think you meant tax cuts instead of taxes.

run to Yahoo and cut and paste political propoganda and tell us you support Obama.
It is not working is it?
You can buy a second hand Samuelson or other freshman econ text book at a garage sale for 2 bucks or less. That would put you ahead of Obama in econ info.

Thanks for catching my mistake.

A couple things I think are "unfair" is the hangover from when people were divided into "the landed gentry" and "the serfs"

those who own a home are given a tax break because they can claim the interest as untaxable income

those who own a home can use their property to post bond while those who do not own a home must remain incarcerated

Something which I think is government subsidy of religion is that churches do not have to pay taxes on their property like businesses and individuals do

As soon as the gubment taxes religion, they lose separation of church and state. Filling out tax forms for non profits already is over reaching in separation.

Again, sensibility escapes most when it comes to taxes.

I was at a speech by Huckabee. He said tax on sales. Well that means drug dealers and prostitutes would pay more tax.

Class envy is a tool used by Marxist, Communist and Socialist to pit the middle class and the rich against each other.

Poor people already see huge tax increases on cigarettes. Obama smokes but he is wealthy.

I am for fair taxes. Fair is equality right?

It's really not about class envy or class warfare.

Coadie,

Are you against the idea of eliminating the income tax all together to replace that system where only purchased goods are taxed?

Why or why not?

I think the gov would be more wise on military spending, welfare, disability etc... we wouldn't have to raise taxes. Interesting, I've heard there has been cut backs on school budgets but haven't heard any on welfare.

I think I read that spending on "corrections" and for the incarcerated is also high.


The whole system needs to be changed!
