Dear Lord, the entire debate is who will raise taxes the most

If Elizabeth Warrens 1% tax on every dollar made after $50million only applies to individuals and not companies, I'm actually okay with that. What's $1 per $100 after you already are worth $50 million? And it actually could do some good

But that won't be it. It's never just the 1 dollar, it's more and more and more.

I'm just saying that isn't that awful of a plan. Again if it applies to individuals, I'm guessing she is talking about taxing estates, corporations, LLPs, etc..

It is awful.

We pay too much in taxes already.

Try cutting the fat, trim down the scope and size of FedGov and there's no need to ever raise taxes again.

What right do you have to take someone's money simply because they have more than you?

Yes I do. Do you care to answer the question?

I'm saying we should take a long hard look at government bloat and waste before we start taking more money from people.

And yes, I believe specifically income taxes are theft.

Increasing income taxes is just increasing theft. Plain and simple. You can try and argue and justify it all you want but it's theft.

I understand property taxes and to an extent sales taxes. People living in an area should fund governmental public goods for their area such as police, fire, education, etc... I even understand state taxes to a certain extent because we are a nation of states and we should support our own states.

But a 40% income tax that goes directly to the federal government to do with it as they wish? As far as I'm concerned that is indefensible theft. I work roughly 5 months out of the year for free as all of the money I make goes directly to the federal government.

Our federal government is wildly out of control and over funded and full of waste and bloat. The solution is not to dump more money into it. It is to slash it down.

My first step would be to eliminate the ability for taxes to be taken out of your paycheck. Every citizen should have to write a check at the end of the year to the government. That would make a ton of people more active and aware of what the go is doing with their tax money.

Does the government have the right to tax people in order to provide services that help everyone in the country? Why yes, they actually do

Nope. If you want what I have then work for it just like I did and stop being a piece of shite.

I’m all for welfare for people who truly need it. But don’t you think the system has been taken advantage of by lazy asses that truly do not need it? Aren’t the abusers the real problem here?

So your answer to the abuse is more taxes that will lead to even more abuse?

Nah, frick that

Who's talking about welfare? I'm talking about roads, schools, infrastructure, police, etc...

Those are local and state issues, you seem to be confused because the OP is referencing federal taxes
