4. Wow! Shows just how lazy and unmotivated 80% are!!!

:sarcasm:

[tblue]

7. Yup! Notice how WORK is not rewarded in this country. But thievery is.

Those who cheat, lie, and steal are the ones we look up to. :puke:

Poor people are some of the hardest working people in the world.

This who change bedpans and wash windows and pull weeds.

(I know you know this, Martin. Just feel compelled to lay it out there.)

[Brigid]

19. And therein lies the problem.

Productive work is not rewarded; most of the wealth remains with the investor class, which produces nothing.

I am not at home now. If it is a bit fuzzy blown up, I can clean it up later when I am at home.

9. One more addition would be nice to see

...what percentage(s) of the income tax collected do these groups contribute?

[Tsiyu]

16. Here in No income tax tennessee

The poorest 20% pay almost 12% of their income in taxes (sales, etc) while our richest 1% - like Haslam and buds - pay only 3% of their income.

That's why when Dave Ramsey talks about "no income tax in TN" he is merely a 1% enabler.

That's why when the republican goons in the house say "no new taxes" thy continue to make the poor bear the burden.

Rich people should be coddled so they'll create jobs, as they HAVE NOT DONE ever since Bush cut their taxes, but what does the fucking truth have to do with anything in this country anymore?

10. This is the message that needs to be imparted to the WHOLE of America. nt
