opinion poll on taxes

[kanchou]

heh, I dunno about that, but there aint no grandkids in my near future. But man, did you and your kids get an early start in life. God Bless you all.

Regardless though, I hope people read this thread and saw the opinions being tossed around, and maybe ... if they might not have been interested in voting, they saw an opinion shared that might make them want to.

I don't really like politics either. I just learn enough to explain to others as persuasively as I can why they should think, chew on, and grind a few gears over what goes on.

I tried to respect you. I really did! But you have shown me and a lot of others that have been watching this intently, that you do not do the same! Your last statement was very derogitive! I don't even need to defend this! I will though!

[kanchou]

Okay. I fail to see how that was derogative! My parents had my sister and myself at a very early start in life!

However, I am responsible for what I type.

... so I profusely apologise. I was not trying to be slanderous and if it seemed that way, then let me apologise again.

You automatically make assumtions that everyone is the same as you. I was 22 when my first was born. You have made assumtions all through this thread! We all do not agree with you! And we won't! You keep trying to defend your ideas, and try to make everyone else believe you are right. You are a likeable person. Let's keep it like that. I am done here! and this thread! Pleez. It's old.............

Do you think one should pay more in taxes just because they can afford it?
1) If we are talking about one guy who makes $40k and another who makes $80k, then not necessarily. But if it's like one guy who makes $50k and another who's making like $300k or millions per year, then yes. Absolutely they should.

Do you think tax revenue belongs to the government?
2) Um? What, are my taxes going to Donald Trump?

Do you think it should be easier or harder to raise taxes?(than it is now)
3) Harder. Fuck the government. Greedy bastards. Do something about inflation or find a way to get more money out of all these filthy rich assholes, rather than raising taxes for people that really can't afford to be paying more.

Do you think it should be easier or harder to lower taxes?(than it is now)
4) Should be REAL easy.

Do you support extra taxes on industry you don't like?
6) Yes. For example, UAW should be paying assloads of taxes for fucking over american cars for so many years. Assholes.

Do you think taxes prevent the rich from becoming 'too rich?'
7) Fuck no. They find so many ways of getting around anything that takes away their money, it's rediculous.

Do you think taxes prevent overseas competition from beating local companies?
8> Not necessarily. Toyota could technically buy GM. How'd you like dem apples?

Do you think your tax monies are being spent efficiently?
9) MOTHER FUCKING HELL NO.

Do you think your tax money should pay to save a failing company or business?
10) Depends on the company.

kanchou,

Without trying to sound like an ass (seriously) It's crossed my mind- I am just curious: Do you own a 60 degree V6? If so, what kind of engine and car?

[kanchou]

i didn't think you sounded like an ass. . .

but my ride is a white 88 chevy corsica. First car from 110,000 to its current rest 230,000. The 88s like the Berettas used the 2.8 v6.

I think I may have posted a couple months ago for someone in the area to take it off my hands. . .but no takers, and I still have it..

I still don't understand why people think they have any kind of right to a job.

No, I didn't. Please show me where I did.

you may want to read though your posts, you've made allot of comments that may have tweaked people the wrong way.

this is what the Declaration of Sentiments says about inalienable rights

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the women under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled. .
