    Taxing the rich to pay for the poor is not the solution.

    Well I think the rich should be taxed at the SAME RATE as the poor as a percentage of their income... People who make over $1MM pay less than half of the welfare mother as a percentage of income when you look at all forms of taxes. I just think it should be the same rate... and I certainly don't think that "social darwinism" is something to be admired.

    Good.... if that chart is correct that's about where the tax numbers should be.

    And teabaggers have proven time and again that their voice is useless. Because it emits nonsense.

    I'm for the elimination of income taxes and the institution of a flat sales tax.

    I also do not believe the rich should have to pay the same income tax rate as a welfare mother. Let's say the guy makes $1M a year but owns a business that employs 10 people with good benefits. If he is taxed at the same rate of someone who is unemployed I don't think that is fair. He contributes to society, she doesn't. So he should be taxed less. Now I'm not talking something drastic but if she is taxed at 10% there is no reason he can't be at 9.5%. Overall his contributions far exceed anything she does. My numbers are hypothetical, but the principle is real.

    I just Googled the term "teabagger". The first definition provided was "one who carries large bags of packaged tea for shipment".
    :lol:

    Dirty, dirty teabaggers.

    Teabagging is a slang term for the act of a man placing his scrotum in the mouth[10] or on or around the face (including the top of the head) of another person, often in a repeated in-and-out motion as in irrumatio. The practice resembles dipping a tea bag into a cup of tea.[11][12]

    Would you use the “n word” because you heard someone on tv say it and therefore it must be okay? Of course not. The term “Teabagger” is just as insulting and demeaning to members of the Tea Party movement.

    I have to disagree it's NOT even close. The term *TEABAGGER* and the Tea Party Movement will eventually fade away over time on the other hand *N Word* will sadly NEVER fade away.

    the N word is meant to be a derogatory insulting name...unless of course it is used by a Black person to another Black person....then it has a whole new meaning.........I think The Tea Party will be around for awhile....and Teabagger will always be an insult when used no matter what color your skin maybe........derogatory name calling just shows your intellegent level...and class or lack of

    Meh.. teapartiers won't even be taught in history class. Remember carpetbaggers and scalawags? They'll hold more historical significance.

    i think the original article was correct. i looked at a check stub from this pay period and one from the same pay period the last 2 years. my raise was 4% each of the last 2 years yet my health insurance premium went up $85 per pay period over 2 years ago and $60 per pay period since this time last year. and i am a healthy guy and only use my insurance for my annual check up including lab work from my primary care doc, and one annual check up with my ear specialist that includes an annual hearing test, and one prescription a month. as a result, with my "tax cut" and increased health insurance premium and my raise i am only clearing about $30 more per pay period from this time last year. so say goodbye to that raise every year because it is only going to pay for the increase in my premiums....
