I agree that there are quite a few Obama fans who expect the government to pay for everything. I don’t agree with that, but I do think everyone should have healthcare.

Democrats and Republicans seem to agree that the working man should pay less taxes. Bush cut taxes for them, and Obama has continued that policy. The difference in opinion is on how much to tax the rich.

When did I mention anything about the population increase?
The income tax was needed as the size of government grew. If we didn’t have an income tax, we’d be in much deeper debt right now.
In recent years, it’s been the Republicans who’ve been warmongers (like Bush).
Keynesian economists like Paul Krugman will tell you that printing money is not a bad thing. You want to go back to the gold standard?

FDR was a war monger? How do you figure that? We were attacked by Japan, and Germany declared war on us.
Yes, WW2 helped the economy because there was massive spending. In a tanked economy, you need to spend.

That is not so as there were many loopholes and tax deductions back in the 50s compared to now a days so it was totally different back then. Progressive taxation has beaten the working man and small business owner to death!

I disagree with Obama on some issues, but I’d definitely vote for him over Ron Paul. The GOP needs to STOP bitching about Obamacare. It’s here to stay, and it’s a good thing.

The people who worked hard and fought overseas saved the country. Americans saved us and not FDR. FDR was a war monger and the bankers got rich! You are a fool. Progressive ideology does NOT work.

One more thing. When taxes on the rich were higher and we spent more money on projects (like the Interstate highways during the Eisenhower years), both the poor and rich got richer. In recent years, the poor have gotten poorer while the rich continue to get richer.

I knew that was coming! lol………..so more people means tax more? OMG you people are hopeless and clueless. Again Woodrow Wilson was a democrat progressive and he started the income tax and he started the Federal Reserve which is unconstitutional and has allowed all these progressives since that time to war monger and the bankers get rich and we get poor. And the feds print more money and are we OK? NO. Paper money is useless. Be it obama or bush. You are a joke. lol

As far as the debt goes, once we’re out of the recession, we can look at cutting programs, possibly including the military. However, right now they shouldn’t be cutting things, except waste.

Before 1913, America was a primitive nation with a much smaller government. As society progressed, more government was needed. That’s PROGRESS. How have progressives nearly destroyed the country? Was George W. Bush a progressive? If I remember, progressive FDR pretty much saved the country.

It’s still better to raise taxes on the rich than not to.
America before 1913 was a third world nation compared to what it is today. America might have survived, but people living today would be appalled if they had to live back then, with rat turds in the meat supply and horrible working conditions.

Raising taxes on the rich would pay the debt for less than a month. WE did not have an income tax before 1913 and people did well before that date. After that time the progressives have nearly destroyed this country. HOW did America survive for 130 years before the income tax, huh? answer that one.

I’m not an expert on the budget. I don’t know how much of the budget is “waste.” I’m not 100% sure whether raising taxes on the rich is necessary to fund necessary programs or whether it’s funding wasteful spending. However, I know that a 0% income tax is just silly. How can Ron Paul consider himself the champion of balanced budgets yet support a 0% income tax that would unquestionably lead to an unbalanced budget?

To be honest youre a libertarian so there is nothing I can say that will persuade you from thing anything other than because people have a right to property, tax is theft.
By the way it was 1913 & the Federal governmetn needs income tax to fund most of its expenses.
Since you hate government so much & dont want to pay taxes, feel free to move to a country with no government, like Somalia or other African states.
Libertiarians often forget that corruption is also in nature with humans.

Are you aware of when the income tax started? Tell me all about it, Mr. Taxman.

The reason why US doesnt have to tax is because China is happy to lend the US money. When one day it comes to a point where US has no more money to borrow, TAX INCREASE + SPENDING CUTS + REFORMS will have to be made.
Your business prospers because of the US system, therefore the more you prosper the more taxes you must pay so that the US system will continue to exist for you to prosper.
Taxes isnt stealing, you are paying for public services and political stability.

And Obama spent to date since 2008, over 1.6 Billion dollars on taxpayer paid vacations—more than any and I said any other President in our nation’s history. Stick that in your fat pipe and smoke it.

I like Ron Paul. He was the only one of the republican party that made any sense as he knows the government and how it wastes our money. Democrats are communists and republicans are pansies who won’t stop the dems. I vote libertarian constitutional party.

Last time I checked, Ron Paul gets his salary from the US Federal Government + his other expenses & benefits.
So taxes are “stealing”, yet he is getting paid by “stolen” money.
LOL, god this is funny.

a better question is why parents can’t afford treatment – if you understand what Ron Paul is saying, you’ll understand why the system (an unholy alliance between corporatism and socialism) has made it unaffordable. He was a physician and as he says, “we never turned anyone away”. The theory is that in a true free market – free of this corporate crony-ism, more people would be able to afford medical treatment and a lot less people would be suffering unnecessarily.
