I'm sorry but that's absolutely classic liberal arrogance. First you label someone earning "x" amount as "rich" and then pass laws to confiscate his wealth all under the guise that he can "afford it"! Unsaid, of course, is that if the rich are "allowed" to keep their earnings, they'll hoard it or waste it. Liberals believe society will be better served by redistributing those earnings to make things "fair". Concerning the quoted second point, I'm happy you've achieved "some modicum of success". As gently as possible, I suggest your success likely does NOT include paying the highest tax rate in the nation or being subjected to "special taxes" aimed at punishing "the rich" like the "Additional Medicare" (Obamacare) tax, does it? After one enjoys being singled out for multiple "soak the rich taxes" your tune of not being punished might change. Here's a thought - REDUCE THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT! Less government = less burdensome taxes. See the problem is that the liberal masses vote in favor of heavy tax burdens because they know they will likely NEVER be subjected to them. It's easy to pass a tax on someone else knowing you'll never be subject to it. The "rich", like "big corporations", are demonized and become an easy target for confiscation by the masses who are simply looking for more goodies like "Obama-phones" (FREE cell phones to low-income citizens, and likely many illegal aliens too!) |

Reducing the size of government, it is true, would probably reduce the tax burden. But that wasn't the point of the post I originally quoted. That post wanted to reallocate the "confiscation" from the "relatively wealthy" to the "relatively poor" through the use of regressive tax policies. See the problem is that conservatives vote in favor of heavy tax burdens on the poor because they know they will likely NEVER be subjected to them. It's easy to pass a tax on someone else knowing you'll never be subject to it. Your arguments make just as much sense against you as they did in support of you. (That's not the sign of a good argument) |

It's pretty easy to spot those paying little tax supporting the high taxes levied upon what they demonize as "the rich". It's classic class-warfare straight out of the liberal handbook. |

Please give me a specific example of when conservatives voted for a heavy tax burden on the poor.

Never said they voted on it. But conservatives continue to advocate for Flat/Fair/Sales taxes. One thing these all have in common is that they place a larger burden on those least able to afford it. Now if you believe that relatively poorer people should pay more in taxes, that's ok. But just come out and say, "I believe that poor people should spend less money on food, and more money on taxes."

Who is demonizing the rich? This is just your standard "straight out of the liberal handbook" nonsense. It's spouted so often on here as to become hackneyed and meaningless.

maybe the bottom half could forego a few smokes, booze, cadillacs, fancy clothes, jewelry, hawaiian vacations, or fishing boats? i don't know what they're spending their extra dough on and i don't care but it's a stupid argument to say its either food or pay your taxes. you ever driven in a poor neighborhood and seen all the stupid junk piled everywhere? |

You ARE definitely LIBERAL, whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
And I do believe you're happy to vote in favor of tax increases, AS LONG AS THEY DON'T AFFECT YOU. That's liberal thinking... pass the buck to the other guy. |

I really would like to see citations from "the liberal handbook" including title, author, publisher, and pages. The liberal handbook I know is The New Testament of The Holy Bible. |

ACA has cost my wife and I $3,000 more per year. Our healthcare used to be free, but we were told that because of the increases in costs due to Obamacare that we would now be required to pay $250 a month just to keep the same coverage.

WOW......how rude! The topic is about ACA and healthcare coverage. That comment was just rude and uncalled for since the poster was clearly not even off topic. Care to clarify your hidden agenda in that comment?
