Split Fulton County?

This is why we need the fairtax, FTW.

You can whine all you want and justify it using whatever COLOR you want, but the bottomline is that it ISN'T fair that anyone gets a disproportionate part of the tax burden.

If the more you make.....then the more you should GET. That is FAR and away NOT the way it actually is. You want to about the "real world"???? How about THAT reality???.....there are MILLIONS of lazy people living off WORKING people.....including YOU if you have a job and pay ANY taxes. Personally, I think that is bullshit. Why should I have to pay for YOUR inability to provide for yourself for an extended amount of time??? Why? If there wasn't that safety cushy net, maybe you wouldn't fall. This country REWARDS failure rather than teach people NOT to fail.

If I make more money than you, then I A: should get MORE than you and B: not be made to support you.

Stand up on your own two damn feet. Why expect someone to carry you???

No matter which way you cut it, the minority should never pay for the majority. The majority should pay for itself.

Again, ironchef brought up an excellent point: The more you pay, the more services you should receive. Wouldn't that just chap all the Cynthia Mckinney's of the worlds ass???? Then it would be true discrimination, wouldn't it????

I want to hear from all the bleeding hearts a real common sense justification of why the wealthier you are the more you should pay for anything. Why the double standard?? Are roads more expensive on one side of the tracks than the other to build???? Then why should one pay more than the other for the same road they share???? Explain that.
