10 Demands Americans Must Make In 2014 And How To Do It

Why is it a "gotcha" question? I think it is a very relevant question since you want to talk about raising taxes. Surely a logical question is if you think there is a limit on what the gobblement should be able to confiscate from YOU personally.

I know you think they should confiscate others wealth. That goes without saying. But how much of your own wealth and income are you willing to fork over? You lefties never really want to answer that question. You are more than happy to speak platitudes about paying higher taxes, but never want to get into specifics. Why is that?


I know you think it's relevant. That proves you're a dumbass.
 
If you don't believe in taxes then leave this country.

why do you defend cheating in elections but think taxes are wrong?

because you hate this country

Wanna talk election cheats, desh......by Democrats that went to jail ?

Desh is so blinded by Liberalism she thinks the Democrat party can do no wrong.
 
And on another note about the failure of Liberalism (see also: Socialism, Communism, Statism), is the fact that nearly every frigging blue state is bankrupt, and every urban shithole that has been run by decades is worse off than if there had been at least some Conservative governance. Detroit is a prime example of this permanent entrenched one party Democrat rule and its end results. Liberals don't care about results, they are only interested in intentions. Why does anyone really think that any program set up by the government hasn't failed?
 
Really? Paying taxes is a privilege?

So let me ask you two questions.

1) Do you take all of the deductions afforded to you in the tax code? If yes, why?

2) Is there a tax rate that YOU would be forced to pay in which you would say "NO WAY"? If so, what is that percentage?

I hear liberals spout these types of platitudes quite often, but when it comes to their own personal finances and when I ask these specific questions, they get all Grover Norquist on me. But, maybe you will be different?

In answer to your questions:

1. Yes. Learned Hand answered that question a long time ago.

2. I imagine that there might be, but I don't think I can quantify it. Suffice it to say, we haven't reached it yet, and I cannot imagine another additional, perhaps, 10% would cause me to think we'd reached it either.
 
Actually the blue states are sending money to the red states. Lots of cities like new York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, et all are doing just fine. And Minnesota is kicking the nutsack of Wisconsin... Minnesota has a democrat led Government, Wisconsin's is led by Republican dudes.

NEXT!

Now granted Bloomberg was basically a Democrat but techinically New York city has not had a Democratic mayor for 20 years and you're claiming that as a success? And no mention of Detroit? And you really used 'NEXT'? Is this elementary school?
 
Oh you mean countries that have a population of NYC? Man I wonder how they can do that...

Bingo! If America was the size of Canada,(they have slightly more land mass)and had all their natural resources with their current population(about 33 million, or 10% of the U.S. population!).I too would be throwing a tantrum for "free" health care, underwear and other stuff!

They have been a democratic/blue state. They also are not off the far right end of the political spectrum....
 
That number one is a piece of work. 'Austerity doesn't work'. One we don't have austerity in this country and two it's essentially saying we should never cut spending.

It's says Americans must demand jobs with job security them says we need infrastructure spending. Construction jobs by their nature are not secure. You are not going to work on a construction job for 10, 15 or 20 years. America is very entrepreneurial. Should we demand all start ups in the Silicon Valley guarantee a minimum of 10-20 years of employment. Should every new restaurant do the same?

it's almost as if the article was written by someone completely stupid.

because you hate this country

if you leave the country you still have to pay uncle sam taxes. that's how fucked up it is. they will always get their cut. WE ARE OWNED. They stamped U.S. PROPERTY on our foreheads when we born. There is no escape.
 
You forgot Number 11

they must DEMAND that someone else pay for it, because God forbid that you pay for those things on your own. someone else must be responsible for your life

Why not? That works both ways. The right wing has lost the moral imperative on the income inequality argument when they privatized profits but socialized losses that "We" the taxpayers had to pay as happened in the 2008 financial meltdown and the GM bailout. It was an unintended consequence of the socialization of those losses by private companies that has exacerbated the income inequality problem in this nation because the privatized profits that occured due to the socialization of those loses over the last 4 years by the recovered economy has been realized almost entirely by the top 1% of income earners. Virtually none of it has gone to the taxpayers who subsidized their losses when it became necessary to socialize those losses in order to prevent the economy from collapsing via a cascade effect.

Why the hell shouldn't tax payers demand their fair share of the pie? After all, we paid for it.
 
I will gladly pay taxes so that I can have clean air, clean drinking water, health care, and an excellent president like Obama. Paying taxes is a privillage... Government does a lot of good things...like veterans pensions for those who have fought for our freedom.
You forgot a quality education. I have no problem paying a reasonable amount of taxes for services that benefit me. I have fairly high community taxes where I live compared to the national average but I don't mind paying them cause the services I recieve in return are outstanding. I wouldn't be so benevolent or understanding if my tax dollars were being pissed away.

Good point but there is truth to what the author of the OP is stating just as their is truth in your comments. The infrastructure investment is obviously needed, woud serve us well and would grow economic prosperity through not just job creation and economic stimulus by the increased spending but also by being able to support more commercial growth through an improved infrastructure. Which ultimately is the best form of job security there is.

You think that's bad....wait till you get married and have kids!!! ;)
 
Some observations:
1. When one party is making demands of another, usually the party making the demands has a bargaining chip. In this case if the party making the demands is the American people, what's our bargaining chip? What are the consequences to the other party (I assume the other party is the current or future crop of politicians) if they don't meet our "demands"?
2. Let's assume for a minute that we manage to elect a bunch of politicians that give into our "demands". What are the consequences of that?

I'm just assuming here that the ultimate goal in making these demands is that elusive search for "equality". Are we all going to be equal on the high end of the scale? Or maybe you're thinking the middle of the scale. Well, you're wrong on both counts and anybody who's buying into this crap hasn't done their homework. If you think this is all bright, shiny and new think again. Because it's been tried before and ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Soviet Russia. Under that system theoretically everybody was equal, and that was pretty much true, but they were all equal at the low-end of the scale. A factory manager who was not well connected to the Communist party made pretty much the same money as the guy sweating his balls off on the factory floor. Couple of problems with that though, as we are now finding out the air and the water weren't really clean in the worker's paradise, education was pretty good though, but if you showed a knack for doing something they were pretty much going to beat the education into you and then you were going to be doing that thing whether you really liked it or not. A living wage? Well, yeah I guess. After all, it was a tenet of the system: "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs".

In short folks, this is never going to happen, at least on this plane of existence. Take my advice. If you want utopia, accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior, then physically die and go to heaven. No one really knows the nature of heaven, but I think we can safely assume that the air and the water will be clean and everybody will be truly equal. I don't think there will be any kind of sickness or traumatic injury, but if there is I am pretty sure it's going to be completely paid for, and you won't even really need a job much less a secure one!
