PEW: Fewer Americans Than Ever Trust Govt...

Right on. Why should the rich pay any tax at all ? If they paid no tax they could employ more workers or not. And why should we care if workers starve to death. That means no money needs to be spent when they get old. These lefties will destroy the country. Much better to go back to the days when the Carnegies and Morgans ruled. How great was that as a few had all the wealth and the rest lived in misery. Those were the days. America's golden years. Let's turn back the clock.

"The top 1 percent of New Yorkers pay over 40 percent of all income taxes, providing huge benefits to everyone in our city and state," his firm said in a statement at the time, adding that the hedge fund had opted to stay in New York rather than flee to a low-tax state. "Instead of vilifying our most successful businesses, we should be supporting them and encouraging them to remain in New York City and continue to grow."

BUT THE LOOTERS AND MOOCHERS (PARASITES) NEVER UNDERSTAND IT... BECAUSE THEY WANT IT WITHOUT BEING PRODUCTIVE AND WIND UP AS DESTROYERS.
A small sample:
Ex-Detroit mayor convicted of widespread corruption
"Kwame Kilpatrick didn't lead the city. He looted the city,"


IMAGINE a dystopian United States where many of society's most productive citizens refuse to be exploited by increasing taxation and government regulations and disappear, shutting down their vital industries. The disappearances evoke the imagery of what would happen if the mythological Atlas refused to continue to hold up the world. They are led by John Galt. Galt describes the disappearances as "stopping the motor of the world" by withdrawing the minds that drive society's growth and productivity. In their efforts, these people "of the mind" hope to demonstrate that a world in which the individual is not free to create and profit is doomed, that civilization cannot exist where every person is a slave to society and government, and that the destruction of the profit motive leads to the collapse of society.

BUT THE LOOTERS AND MOOCHERS NEVER UNDERSTAND

Many of the the looters are attorneys.
Many of the moochers are morons.
The morons can be called to jury duty to support both the looters and moron moochers.

Blitz USA Out Of Business
The leading maker of gas cans in the US, Blitz USA based out of Miami, Oklahoma went under on Tuesday. Not because of slow sales, but because people who ignored the warning labels on the gas cans and poured gas on fires burning themselves sued the company out of business.

117 of the dwindling "producers" lost their jobs.

I agree with Kent:
Finally Kent from Woodward says: "Remove the warning labels from all products and we can eliminate a lot of the really stupid people in the world."

Yep, top 1% pay 40% of taxes. Could that be because top 1% have over 35% of the wealth, lol. The gap between rich and poor has never been greater. That usually leads to a revolution and guillotines etc.

Sam Kinison 1953 - 1992 "It occurred to me that there wouldn't be world hunger, if you people would MOVE WHERE THE FOOD IS!!!"

Sadly, most hunger in the world is caused by corrupt governments, almost always socialist, communists who preach "fairness and equality".

Who was the communist dictator who starved more than 5 million Ukrainians in the terror famine, Joseph Stalin, Lenin?

Mao's Great Leap Forward killed 45 million in four years.

Yeah, we need to spread the wealth around one more time. How many will suffer before this experiment is over?
"46,609,072 People on Food Stamps in 2012; Record 47,791,996 in December"

"A world in which the individual is not free to create and profit is doomed, that civilization cannot exist where every person is a slave to society and government, and that the destruction of the profit motive leads to the collapse of society."

PAY DAY: Bill Maher Outraged Over His Taxes...
"I just want to say liberals – you could actually lose me."

Maher said, “You know what? Rich people actually do pay the freight in this country.”
“I just saw these statistics,” he continued, “I mean, something like 70 percent. And here in California, I just want to say liberals – you could actually lose me. It’s outrageous what we’re paying – over 50 percent. I’m willing to pay my share, but yeah, it’s ridiculous.”

Doesn't he know that we all belong to the government?

Not when someone who makes under $20,000 -- pays no tax -- is able receive as much as $82,000 when you include government benefits...thus receiving MORE than someone in the top 10% has after taxes.

The revolutionaries may end up being the taxed.

I love the hypocrisy of the pro-tax crowd.
All of my pro-tax friends avoid paying all the taxes possible... (and then some).
Their libraries have tax avoidance books right next to their leather bound, gold embossed copy of Marx & Engels Communist Manifesto.
That's only one of the reasons why I view Statism as a religion and taxation as the tithe.

Ex-Budget Minister of France Finally Admits Swiss Account...

Socialist to be probed for tax fraud...
French ex-minister admits lying about Swiss account
France’s former budget minister Jérôme Cahuzac, who until two weeks ago was responsible for cracking down on tax evasion, admitted to having hidden funds in a secret Swiss bank on Tuesday. Judges have now placed Cahuzac under formal investigation.

NY state government 'most corrupt in USA'...
Six highly-placed politicians are accused of using bribery to rig this year’s New York City mayoral race.
There were three distinct parts to the public corruption and bribery scandal, but in all three money flowed freely and, at times, city and state funds — your tax dollars — paid the freight

Democrat State Sen. Malcolm Smith, allegedly wanted to rig the 2013 mayoral race so he could run as a Republican. Republican City Councilman Dan Halloran reportedly helped arrange the bribes to buy Smith a waiver, and two Republican officials had their hands out, reportedly saying “show me the money and the waiver is yours.”

And the all the congregation (on both sides of the aisle) said "Amen!"
