Here it is again for you: To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
Don't act like you don't understand how taxes work. When they taxes that they OWE are cut for the rich it tends to make them pull away from the middle class, which is exactly what happened.
Read the Constitution. Just once. "The Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises [ . . . ] but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States [ . . . ]” "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
Hosting a White House dinner for Nobel Prize winners in 1962, JFK called those gathered "probably the greatest concentration of talent and genius in this house except for perhaps those times when Thomas Jefferson ate alone."
By the provisions of the tax code they do not owe the money, a fact you ignore. Just because red thinks the rich don't pay enpugh doesn't make it fact. I have demonstrated many times with CBO numbers that the rich pay the highest effective rates, and share a larger peice of the tax burden than they consume of the income pie. I know exactly how taxes work. It is you who is confused, and greatly so.
Today's tax code! What the hell do you think we are arguing about? :huh: The Bush tax cuts were always meant to expire, a fact you always ignore. By the tax code of the prosperous 1990's they owed a lot more. Then Bush made tax cuts as a temporary measure to boost the economy. Obviously this failed and only enriched the already rich. Now the GOP want to change the agreement, make the temporary cuts permanent, and increase the debt as a result.
