Necessities to some are different to others. Why should it matter what you spend your money on. That doesn't make it right for the government to tax those who work hard to give to those who are looking for handouts.

No, necessities are the same for everyone. Food, shelter, health care. You're not slick, so don't try to be and weasel your way out of a decent rebuttal with bull****.

I'm gonna let you in on a big secret. There are tons of people who work hard and make- what is basically- **** money. Teachers. Blue collar workers. Pretty much everyone in the armed forces, especially enlisted personnel. Etc. Working hard does not necessarily corelate with high income.

And here's the really big shocker. HIGH INCOME IS NOT NECESSARILY A RESULT OF WORKING HARD.

Am I totally blowing your mind yet? zzzz

Regardless, there's no reason to tax the people making a relatively low income the same amount as people making hundreds of thousands or more over, millions of dollars a year (this is actually a better example considering that the very top tiers of income earners hold an incredibly disproportionate amount of wealth). I'm sure they really need all their money for an extra yacht in black instead of white rather than the afforementioned people deserve adequate healthcare.

How do you not understand that taxes have an impact on the budget as well as the ecomony. If taxes are reduced, people have more money to spend, therefore strengthening the economy.
I never said they didn't, you were talking about tax rates as if all they did was impact the economy. And guess what... the budget has an effect on the economy too! Ever wonder why the dollar is sliding in international exchange value? Bet it has noooooottthiiing to do with all the borrowing we've had to for deficit spending necessitated by those low low taxes of your boy George.

lol @ you assuming you have a firmer grasp than myself on economics

Again, I understand that handicapped applies to other things than being able to walk. My point was that there are people who abuse the "system" and get these handicapped tags as well as disability and other government assistance when they don't really need it.

And you went about making that point quite clumsily, instead insinuating all handicapped people are worthless invalids.

The problem is that the government has too many programs that waste money. If the government would revise these programs, as well as reducing the amount of money spent on "protecting" our allies and delivering "freedom" to other countries, there would probably be room for some tax cuts.
That last part was about the only reasonable thing you've said, except for the "more tax cuts". Defense spending and other bull**** spending similiar to that is a pretty hefty chunk of the budget but not big enough to cut taxes left and right like a nut.
