How would raising taxes affect you and our economy?

[blindbaby]

well, the democrates allways want to raise taxs. and they allways use the revenue, for more SPENDING. so, more tax we give out of our paychecks, goes to the unwed mothers buero. lol. and "free" condoms, needles, birth control pills, etc. this creates more gov, which in turn, needs yet MORE taxes. and none to the dept. sorry. we have become a spoiled nation. and people are brainless who bad mouth this country. if its so bad, why do they die trying to come here? (ahhh!- so they can bad mouth it in PERSON!?) the repubnlicans are allwalys made to look like guys who what to push gramma off a cliff. thats becasue the left dont like cuts. they like increases. so. out with the dems this fall. lots of crybabys out there, there will be! but, i will enjoy that humor! we live in a budget, or get into financilal problems. so should the goverment operate. wlhen things get better, then "some" of the things will return. some. i boughyt a rubber stamp, that i put on the back of all out going mail. "in god we trust". my freind, who is a mailman, told me he wished more would do this. well, time for a sunday, "HALLELUJNA" BONG HIT!

I have a hunch that large corporations lobby for higher business taxes to limit competition, just as big pharma corporations lobby for higher costs in the FDA approval process to limit competition. A level playing field of low and fair taxes is the best for free market competition.

If you agree with UncleBuck then you should know that you are doing something wrong.

lol QOTD..your right I did not read this 31 page thread only a bit of it...but still...trickle down economics is BS...I agree with him that much at least

 

[UncleBuck]

I would love to UncleFuck and his "friend"/sockpuppet over on William F Buckley's blog site posting their pictures as arguments. Ha Ha Ha. Then again they couldn't make it through the first page of one of his books without a dictionary handy.

Basically, trickle down is a method used to put more money in the hands of capitalists on the theory that they will put it to productive use. That productive use will spur the economy, increase hiring and the fruits of the increased productivity will lift everybody's net worth.

Hypothetical syllogism = 'if this, than that', can be falsified by a correct example of 'if not this, then not that'.

That capital has not gone to 'productive use', therefore...

capital in the wrong hands.

lol really this whole thread almost everyone agrees on practically everything but then abadon and unclebuck think they don't but I really don't see a whole of disagreements here. A few pro+ "trickle down" statements that get them all excited cause trickle down is bs but aside from that...I mean....do they seriously not realize everyone is practically agreeing on everything? They are so mad at republicans and trickle down to even see what people are writing aside from these few statements..(can't say I blame them however they are being irrational really) ..kind of like the picture above.
