The question is, why would anyone on this board care if the filthy rich pay more in taxes? As of right now, most on this board pay a higher percentage of their income than do the filthy rich. I cannot understand it, simply makes no sense.

Maybe because some of these "filthy rich" aren't really as rich as you think...oh sure they got the high dollar bank account but guess what, when your running a business, it don't hang around very long.... if your trying to improve your business, it even hangs around a shorter time.... I have always gone by the adage you don't really know till your there.... I worked for the company I now own for over 30 years, thought I knew everything and I was going to be rich too..... then my wife and I bought it and then we got an education..... just cause a lot of money goes threw your account doesn't mean much of it hangs around..... my dad farmed a couple thousand acres up in the mid west, he always laughed at people that thought he was rich, he said the money never even slows down when it goes through his bank account....Originally posted by doomsday View PostComment

Kid, one of the biggest reasons I am against giving any more money to the government, a few years ago, maybe three or four, the IG people and treasury found six billion dollars of waste fraud and abuse, in one government program, in one state , in one county in less then one year.... don't ever think that the government needs more money when they won't even bother to police themselves and their spending....Comment

Oh don't get me wrong I agree 100%, like I said no more taxes until the wasteful spending is under control but, if it is and taxes needed to be raised as long as they can justify it I could possibly be for it.Originally posted by mudslinger47 View PostComment

I believe if they cleaned up the waste fraud and abuse, they'd have so much money they wouldn't be able to spend it fast enough.... Wanna solve the problems? Put investigators on a commission system, use retired G men, military , FBI, folks that you can generally trust .... give them a list and send them to work..... start at the dirty Dr.s cause that's where the bulk of the abuse starts, shut them down and put the fear of God in the rest and watch things change... I know people in our church that get disability and they are plenty capable of working, maybe not construction or anything like that but don't need to be on disability, heck I have two brothers in law that are on partial disability and it purely bogus for the money.... sad state of affairs...Originally posted by kidrock View PostComment

The Huffington Post is the perfect example of the epic farce of modern journalism, shallow and immoral always promoting the latest fad or movie. Never anything substantial, you have to wonder if the writers actually believe the mythos they promote. The front page headline is current political crisis hyped a large bold type. The right side column is the daily feature of Hollywood actresses latest garb – as if the latest starlet’s attire matters in political commentary. Readers click in and they eyes are immediately diverted away from the political headlines to Hollywood skin, cleavage, boobs, panties and flashy jewelry. The Huffington Post front page is borderline soft porn. Why do they bother? Half of the internet is real porn, it’s not like you can’t see free porn for free all day long on the internets. What moran reads the HuffPo?Last edited by Clayton_Wetter; 09-01-2015, 05:38 PM.Comment

Congratulations, you won $25,000 in the Illinois lottery! Sorry, you'll have to settle for an IOU for now.
Winners of the Illinois lottery are being forced to wait for their money, because state lawmakers haven't passed a budget and so lottery officials don't have legal authority to do payouts.
Jackpots of at least $25,000 have been put off for the foreseeable future, according to lottery spokesman Stephen Rossi.
Illinois is grappling with a serious fiscal crunch.
"Due to the ongoing budget situation in Springfield, some lottery winner payments have been delayed," he said. "All winners will be paid in full as soon as the lottery and the Illinois comptroller have the legislative authority to do so.Comment

WHERE YOUR TAXES GO - ILLEGAL ALIENS
Attributed to the LA Times, June 2002:
1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L.A.County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A.County).
(All 10 from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare. See...

Over 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration.
The cost of illegal immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University].
The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE.
29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
