Tax the poor

Stone said:
An idea ahead of its time. IMO it is long overdue for the poor to finally pony up and PAY UP. Are we not ALL Americans? Does it not feel good and right when we ALL have skin in the game? Well,...this is the poors chance. Tax the poor, same as anyone else. They too have earned the right to take part in this great American tradition!

"Former President Donald Trump repeatedly paid little or nothing in federal income taxes between 2015 and 2020 despite reporting millions in earnings his tax records show"

Non citizen does not mean illegal. Since states cannot make a determination of a person’s immigrant status they may obtain benefits, a dives license and of course cannot be denied any constitutional rights. I guess you didn’t know that , eh teach?

Something like half Americans+Illegals dont pay income tax now federally, and likely not state income tax either....with a lot of them actually getting what are essentially welfare kickers. I dont remember the number but I heard it a few months back. It is almost my bedtime so I am not going to research.

So they come here, take jobs you consider yourself too good for and work their asses off and pay taxes while you collect unemployment. Stop whining. Immigration reform is badly needed. Last time Republicans killed it. Remember Rubio actually OPPOSING a bill he voted for when it went to the house? I do.

They have a job, teach. A real, actual job. DUH.

Gosh, you got me. You must be so proud being a texting Nazi. At least you're good at something.

There is a difference between a non-citizen and a person here illegally. You really didn't know that teach? Wow. You might want to pick up a book. If you work and you get paid, you have a job. You are probably not familiar with the concept of work, but that might be in the book too.

I don't believe anything you say, because you're a proven liar. But substitute teacher might not be too high a bar for you.

I'm retired. Not sure why you think that's some great accomplishment. I guess when you lead a sad pathetic life, anything you can cling to is fair game.
 
IMO we should all work on lowering the temperature in here a little. Its the Holiday season. Peace love and good tidings to all. That sort of thing.

Come back, one year!

I urge everyone to make sure they get in the holiday spirit on Friday and celebrate our greatest of holidays.... Festivus.
 
Illegals come here for jobs and hopefully better lives. They commit crimes at a less rate than Americans do. They do not want to risk deportation. They have people depending on them. They get hired not only because they work cheaper, but because unscrupulous owners can cheat them.
I was talking to a construction company owner in Michigan. He says he hires them because it lets him lower contract bids and still make a good profit.
