Why would that 47% ever vote for any kind of austerity measure?

Yes...we KEEP electing the same old corrupt trash...Ds and Rs...I don't know why, but we as a people, can't seem to stop doing it. We're voting for our own demise. We vote for crooks who steal from us for their friends.
WHAT will you cut? Defense? SS and medicare for people who contributed to society all their lives? Or welfare? Welfare is a cool $trillion a year. Going to what? Hungry violent mouths who hate us because we're better than they are?
They DO pay taxes...everything they buy has been taxed at every level of production. Sometimes half the price of an item is tax. They don't pay income tax because they don't make enough to meet the minimum level to be taxed.

IN FACT, they pay a MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE of their income to taxes, both federal and state through payroll/Social Security/gas/sales/etc./etc.)...than you probably do.
Forbes Welcome
So please, stop spreading these right-wing lies.
Thank you and deepest regards & wishes.  |
Yes they do...you are correct. Everyone who shops and buys things pay tax. Utilities charge tax. Pretty much everything is taxed.
BUT they DON'T pay a whole class of taxes...income taxes. Because as I said earlier...they don't make the minimum income to be taxed. They USE tax dollars...they're a net DRAIN on the economy because they don't contribute as mush as those who DO pay income tax...and they're more likely to be using "free" government services and welfare.
You have A fact correct, but you fail to interpret it correctly. YOU are the one being disingenuous and misleading. Implying they pay "equally" as far as paying taxes is concerned, when they do not. They pay SOME taxes...but not as much as a typical white family who IS saddled with paying income tax.

Let me add a little more to it. A family of four making middle income wages of about $50K per year will pay NO Federal Income tax.

She does twist it. They pay SOME tax but not ALL that a typical white family would. Income tax can be many thousands per year. It's funny how ALL it does is pay the interest on the $20 trillion debt.
