Jesus, Mary, and Joseph on Medicade: what part of GW Bush’s 2 wars on the credit cards coupled with tax breaks for his “have more” wealthiest friends don’t you get, David?

Simple arithmetic, David. Numbers don’t lie. Teapublicans do.

So, thats it? The fact that millions are living off these horrible programs is meaningless?

It boils down to the fact that Joe Smoo pays a far higher % of his income in taxes than many people in the 1%. And we dont feel its right. You on the other hand, are owned.

This is idiotic. “Payroll” taxes are taxes on “Payroll”. The man didn’t receive “payroll” checks. He paid on every nickel of his self-employment income.

Liberals enacted these failed social programs claiming small amounts of revenue would be required to pay for them. Now, they’ve spun out of control and you want to impose the taxes at higher levels on unearned income to try to keep them afloat.

You were given more to keep this horrible programs alive back in ’83. Now you want more. It is time to do something different.

What a load. First off the average tax paid by 80% of Americans is NOT 20% but about 12%. People making $50,000 a year usually pay less than 5%. I find it ironic too that the left says the rich MUST PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE and when one actually does pay more than they are required you still b!tch about it. I, as an American, am not ‘outraged’ by this as you say I should be. In fact, I am more than happy to find that Romney paid more than requires and also doubled that in donations to charity. How much to Obama donate? Biden?

On Huffington Post there is a good arti8cle by Paul Abrams presenting the theory that Romney did get an amnesty on his Swiss taxes. All should read it and then bring up the question at every possible opportunity and get Romney to answer.
