If giving the tax payer back their own money is giving to the rich, then so be it.

I don't browse this thread regularly, but when I do take a look, I invariably come across more of your repetitious natterings. Do you honestly think that if you keep spinning bullshit, it will eventually become a fact?? You remind me of a record player, with your brain turning at 33 RPM while your mouth (keyboard) spins at 78. particularly the estate tax cuts and the dividend tax cuts Both of these taxes are examples of double taxation and are inherently unfair. They usually pay LESS than the average factory worker, percentage-wise. The rich have it easy already in the US. Another myth propagated by the class warfare left. In fact, the top 5% of taxpayers now pay over half of all income taxes paid, and the top half of taxpayers pay 96% of taxes. And you want to apply the screws even tighter to the most productive segments of society with your politics of envy. FYI, a new bill in Cuba allows private farm co-ops to distribute 70% of their profits, reducing the states take to 30%, which happens to be below the tax rate in the USA. I see US companies moving off shore to escape extortionate tax rates and I don't blame them one bit. Politicians are draining the life blood out of this country with punishing tax burdens and excessive regulations and both major parties are responsible for this situation. Trickle-down voodoo economics does not work So what does work, Comrade?? Trickle up?? You think that welfare bums and union goons made this country great?? LOL!!! Get a clue and get a life (and get a good book on free market economics, something not easily found in public schools and universities).
