Believe it or not properly funded government programs can absolutely work be extremely beneficial to people.

How often do government programs work effectively and efficiently where they aren’t absolutely miserable to deal with? I’ve never heard anyone who uses any sort of government funded healthcare just rave about how smooth it is dealing with government agencies.

quote:

---

But hey can't have that because more government is automatically bad.

---

Because our government is wasteful. The people it employs often aren’t great employees motivated to serve the common good. You may enjoy the government having involvement in most aspects of your life, but not all of us want that. I’m not against helping the poor or sick who truly need help, but I am against a government that sticks its hands into everything.

This country has worked at its best when the top marginal tax rates were at their highest and when we had higher corporate tax rates

Educate yourself on current economic research on who pays the corporate income tax.

Hint: it’s not the rich. It’s the middle and lower class in the form of higher prices and lower wages.

You have got to be the dumbest poster on this board

How about you spare the rest of us with your politicized rhetoric in the middle of an active story? You only give a shite when you can monopolize a topic to spout some ill informed political points.

Nevermind, not engaging and further ruining the thread.

didn't see really any first world nations other than the US. Closest you can say are Chile, Egypt, and Turkey. But they're all having massive internal problems right now. Weird how no European countries nor Australia, New Zealand, Japan, or South Korea were on there.

Baseless argument that says nothing

---

I would describe all of your arguments in the same way. You’ve yet to say exactly what you think the federal government should do to bring an end to mass shootings. You make a lot of broad arguments in favor of government intervention, but you’ve yet to give us specific details on those measures and why you think they’ll work. By all means, give us what specific gun control measures we need.

Dawgfan is the same type of person who will argue for short sentences and criminal justice reform so that he can release the same murderous criminals out onto the street to terrorize the same people over and over again.

He is a walking contradiction.

He argues for “common sense laws” while arguing for less strict implementation of the laws we already have.

Rather than holding the criminals responsible, he wants to punish everyone else.

Three things are universally inevitable:

Taxes

Death

Dawgfan posting retarded shite

Guess what, retard.

You are flat out wrong about the top income tax bracket.

quote:

---

Simply put, Washington collects more income-tax revenues (as a share of GDP) today with a top tax bracket of 37% than it collected in the 1950s with a 91% tax bracket. In fact, since 1950, the yearly correlation between the highest income-tax bracket and federal income-tax revenues as a share of the economy is –0.23, meaning that higher top tax rates are correlated with lower income-tax revenues.
