They want Obama to fail so badly, they don’t even care whether it hurts the country.
I don’t really need to add to the pile-on, but that OP is really, really fucking moronic. Contemptuously bad, I’d say.
Why? Explain this to me. If I’m so bad at making a logical argument, then show me how it’s done, oh great master.
“The majority of people don’t pay taxes.”
Oh, I meant Federal taxes.
Oh, except for Federal payroll taxes, I didn’t mean those.
That’s what you’re doing here, and it’s just dumb.
You are wrong. I never said “I meant Federal taxes” and then “Oh, I meant Federal taxes except for Federal payroll taxes.” I very clearly said I meant the US FIT the whole time.
Anyone can scroll up and see exactly what I said for themselves, so it’s pretty stupid what you are doing here.
So if you described a group as one that “don’t pay any taxes” before making any reference to federal income taxes, we should just assume that you meant federal income taxes, by default?
Oh, Randy, Randy, Randy… you’re such a cute little liar…
Why do you guys bother with this angry little child? Seriously.

I’ll save them the trouble, and scroll up for them…
But hang on folks, here comes the goalpost move in response to Diogenes the Cynic:
Nice! NOW you claim that you MEANT federal taxes ONLY in your first idiotic post .
I had some spare time, and the pig gets all funny when it’s annoyed, what with all the little grunting and squealing noises.
OK. Let’s go back to your first post.
I don’t see anything in that that says the FIT, do you?
No, the nature of state sovereignty means it’s OK for the government to force the unwilling to do so.
As far as I can tell, you stated that most people don’t pay taxes. What, do you consider state income taxes, alcohol taxes, cigarette taxes, state and local sales tax, local income tax, etc., etc., etc., to not be taxes? Question mark?
And, actually, if we accept - and I guess I see no reason why we shouldn’t - that 40-odd-% of federal income tax filers pay no federal income tax, that’s most?
Of course, we’ll still to give all of RR’s money to the diarrheac homeless, just for control in the experiment.
Way to focus on the important issues, guys. I did originally say “taxes” in my first post when I meant “U.S. federal income taxes.” I quickly corrected that as soon as my egregious oversight came to my attention.
I know that you liberal douche idiots pride yourself on your precision of thinking and speech (as we can see by Simplico’s masterful understanding of all things tax and Euphonious Polemic’s superb arguing skills), so please accept my humble apology.
To get back to the substance, we are still waiting for DtC’s cite for the assertion that Obama has cut my taxes.
You can’t tell very damn far, buddy.
No you didn’t. You corrected it after it was pointed out by multiple posters that your original statement was inoperative. You then did not issue a correction, but rather simply tried to slip FIT in there like nobody would notice. Then you claimed
.
What an egregious tool.
Taxes are not an important issue? You argue about taxes, and someone proving that you are wrong in your statement about taxes makes taxes suddenly unimportant? You’re a fucking idiot. Honestly, you are.
If you make more that $200,000 or $250,000 (opinons vary), President Obama has never promised to cut your taxes.
Actually, as a serious question, what would be a good metric to judge success or failure of the reform, say, five years from now?
I could say that most Jewish people don’t eat meat, then clarify to say I only meant pork, but it wouldn’t make my initial statement any more accurate as a measure of their culinary habits.
Heh, you modified taxes to Federal Income Taxes, and you’re still wrong. Who’s the “buddy” around here precisely? Asshole.
I certainly pay taxes, federal income tax included, and I fully support a federal income tax increase, as it is necessary to reduce the Bush inspired federal deficit, and as it is necessary to return us to the glorious balanced budget days of Bill Clinton.
