CMU – 20% of my earned dollar is taxed, 20% of your earned dollar is taxed, 20% of Jo Boggs’ earned dollar is taxed.
Thats called fair.
There’s a lesson to be learned here.
If, in this most liberal enclave, the comments are, what, 10-1 reactionary and illiberal, does it mean the liberals are just silent? Or simply have better things to do?
11:50, a flat tax is “progressive” only if you rewrite the dictionary or live in Orwell-land.
surely 11:40 is joking – c’mon, people, relax!
Will be great to read “The Legacy of George W. Bush’s Foreign Policy.” Universal wants to option the rights for a comedy…
cmu – feel free to contibute more money to to the Government than you currently do. They accept checks.
Thats only mathematically progressive.
Your “damn the rest of the comment” is just plain dumb since its the top 40% who basically pay all the income tax.
Many people would say a flat tax is the only tax that is actually progressive in the sense of “fairness”.
Such language in “liberal” New York!
As a sufficiently high-earning house owner (just to stave off the “perpetual renter” type comments) I think Obama’s tax policies should be just the start. Of course SS is funded by corporations…what’s wrong with that? And of course the military budget is … aah… WAY too high? More than the next 20 countries in the world combined?
But rest easy, guys, us high-earners will continue to do well and damn the rest of ’em. There’ll never be a true progressive tax in his country.
i am really really scared that obama will win. if so, my family is done for. he will crush the middle class. he’s totally clueless. knows nothing about business or foreign policy. he might just get us all killed.
The reason why Obama’s victory is on this blog is because Brooklyn is Obama country!
Did you not see the results of the primary?
Gee guys, maybe Gabby included it because its f***ing historic!! Like, the march on Washington, 9-11 or Hiroshima. Get some perspective. Geez
