No. I think I'll start with the guy (Obama) that originally tried to slip this bright idea into Obamacare
Then you're not only a fucking idiot, you're a willful fucking idiot. Obama had nothing to do with the AZ death panels, our republican governor cut public coverage on organ transplants, despite the state media, citizens, and state lawmakers proposing plans that would cover the transplants without adding any extra spending, and still she refused to cover those people until several had died and several major state news papers were tearing into her on a weekly basis.
However the defense budget never goes over. In cases like welfare the governemt is paying out more than it is budgeting for. (I've already posted the study that shows this point in this very thread).
However, Social security and medicare have specific taxes. The defense budget increases every single year, and we simple take it out of other programs. We have no specific tax for the military to help cover their budget, and we give out money like candy. We spent 6.5 billion on the comanche project, and we have nothing to show for it. We spent 65 billion on R&D to develop the f-22, and paid 150 million for every aircraft, and it's already outdated by unmanned drones that the chairforce wants to buy. At the height of the iraq war we were spending billions every month, and no tax increases on anyone to pay for it.
Why do I even need to post any numbers with you? It's in your f*cking mantra. Remember "the widening class gap?" Remember "the middle class is rapidly disappearing?" So with your own proclamations you can infer that there are more people in poverty than has ever been in the past based off of population, inflation and income (or lack thereof).
It's
my mantra? Quote me on that. If you want to make blanket statements about how much the lower tax brackets are paying, show some numbers or be prepared to be called out on your bullshit.
If more people are living in poverty then they sure as f*ck aren't earning enough to pay in income tax. This is all according to your own view of class stratifiction.
Quote me on my view of class stratifiction. The top 1% are earning more than they were 30 years ago, and are paying less taxes due to bonuses in stocks and other non taxable bonuses. They exploit loopholes to pay less than they owe, and continue to increase their pay rate, while the median income has not kept up.
More free enterprise = more jobs = more tax revinue
and you're a f*cking government-loving stooge.
BTW, we're now up to $38.5 Billion in budget cuts; up from $33 Bil (just like I suggested could happen earlier in this thread).
I want a fiscally responsible govt that will balance their taxes with their budget, not take a machete to anything that's not defense related and continue to allow the top tax bracket to get away with fraud.
