No one assumes it's only the low life's that are getting a break. However, many of Obama's and other liberal programs are there to help those that do very little to help themselves too and that's bullshit. If I see one more "economically challenged" person pissing away money on smokes, beer or an xbox as they wait in line at Best Buy, and crawl back into their 1982 Chevy with 22" wheels, I'm going to puke.
Hey, I'm not against tax breaks for anyone. However, I don't feel tax breaks for some should be given while others end up paying more just because we need to "spread the wealth".
It's bullshit if anyone thinks that the problems we're facing now were caused because of the tax system over the past 10yrs. It's been caused by the excess credit that mainly the lower and middle class folks have brought up so high. If they would have actually made more money or scaled back their lifestyles to match their income, there would be no credit issues.
How many folks over the past 10 years bought a new house and now complain they can't afford rising utilities or gas in their cars? That's called living way too close to your comfort zone and that's entirely their fault. Not mine. Now many folks were victims and sucked into homes via poor credit practices...but then that's only because they are dumb fucks who couldn't figure out their own God Damn budget! Being dumb and blaming others for your own issues....that's what's fucking Un-American.
Credit cards are the way of life for so many and they are now paying the price....again, not my fault. I pay mine off.
If anyone here wants to help the have not's or their middle class neighbors, then do exactly what you stated above....go make more of your own money and invest it and spend it......grow the pie, but don't blame those who make more household income on anyone else's problems and take my pie.
Roads aren't entirely funded by my income tax...if at all? Not sure...but I do know there are plenty of other ways they are paid for.
First, I'm not for the war. I don't think we should have moved in there without a plan and a plan for economic success included in that master plan. I'd much rather see $10B/mo. being invested right here in the US improving education and supporting ourselves so that we don't have to rely an one single other country for shit. We are victims of our own creation and reliance on others.
Regarding taxes....The real irony is I've already paid way more taxes than those that make less than me, so don't tell me about taxes. Actually, I think it's pretty fucking ironic that I'm taxed or penalized more for doing well. I wonder if providing tax "breaks" for those that increase their income year over year by a certain percentage would help encourage them to actually do more?
I'm in sales and I believe in paying the performers. The more you sell, the higher your commission percentages..as it should be...we're rewarded for doing better. YOu don't give the other guy who can't sell shit or works a half-ass day the same percentages as me...let him earn the rewards. It's called work hard - play harder. If he wants comfort...that's called a public sector job.
It amazes me that so many are "working so hard" just to be comfortable in life. Fuck comfort zones...they bread mediocrity and stunk growth of the greater good. Pay the performers and encourage those below to actually become one of the performers. Don't pass out rewards for mediocrity and below.
Pass the butter please.
