Questions for the left.

Thank you sir for responding. I recognize my questions were generalizations and not really specific. 1.The main thing here is that we define "more". If you actually read your post it doesn't make any sense. If I use your example above with one person earning 12,000 and another 250,000 dollars per year and the tax rate is the same. Lets say 10% tax. The person making 12k per year pays $1,200.00 and the other pays $25,000.00 dollars per year. Huge difference in the amount they pay but they were taxed at the same amount. That's a fair tax. 2. I didn't think anyone would get that one. 3. Yes I am. Leftists are generally failures and think someone else is to blame and when you cant take responsibility you will look for others to punish. 4. This has nothing to do with political parties. repugnants will take us to socialism slower than democraps. Neither are for the AMERICAN people. Its not within the scope of the GOVT to use tax payer money to rebuild your house because you built it oceanside or in the woods in N California where it get burned down every other year. Take a house in the mtn of N GA. If it burns down, your insurance will take care of it. In cali if this happens to you, you don't need insurance because the tax payers will pay for it. 5. By the way they vote. 6. If you did then you would know that what is America is about Freedom. 7. If you read the Fed Papers you would know their intention was never to fund disaster emergencies like hurricanes and fires. 8. Pure Free market ideology? Buddy we are no where near "pure free market" That's a real popular saying saying about the rich getting richer poor getting poorer. The truth in that's statement is pure. The rich keep getting richer because they do the things that keep them rich and the same goes for the poor. Think about that for a moment. Rise in class isn't guaranteed. You like many of your ilk think rise in class should be automatic instead of based in hard work. Why do Asians do so well in this country within 1-2 generations? Simple....They work hard and smart. They make good decisions and value education and excellence. God Bless them for it too. Your response I could have guessed. 8 RESPONSE TO YOUR COMMENT BEGINNING WITH FURTHERMORE. Things like Enron and the like are criminal matters and should be dealt with harshly. They shouldn't get fed prison but regular "You gone be my boy" prison. I have zero sympathy for them. The same goes for the cop that got busted on video stealing money and lotto tickets. We don't have enough control of our own Govt to stop this behavior. If we did, The punishment would fit the crime 10 fold and people at these levels would stop what they are doing. The free market assumes everyone is honest just like your socialism assumes that everyone will work. The fallacy is that human nature takes hold. There are going to be dishonest people and our laws could deal with that issue much better. Our society as a whole should punish and vilify those guilty of fraud. Again, I have zero confidence in both parties. 9. The truth always comes out. 10. When you get over 30 generally you should have learned that the world is tough, its tougher when you're stupid. Conclusion: Look a the CBO (congressional budget office) figures for the past 25 years. Look what happens every time taxes are cut for the people that actually pay them. Revenues into the treasury went up. Its a fact you can look up yourself. Cutting taxes does not reduce the amount of money the Govt receives. Leftist think the rich don't pay their fair share. Google it people....Look at what percentage they do pay. Unless you work for Govt, someone else has created the job you have. We can narrow this to a few items to keep it shorter. You choose.
