    You are free to say that as much as you want. Stand on a street corner and shout it to everybody that passes by. That's because you have the freedom to do so. Try that in Iran or North Korea and they would string you up by your balls.

    You are making shit up...most and many others contribute to Rs as well - source other than leftist Politifact please. Gates is a Democrat and if you say otherwise your blue colors are showing bright and brilliant. Oh and as of today, only 47 percent of Americans have a full time job...the economy is booming as you say! There are a shitload of happy retirees and veterans living the dream right now...

    and what exactly does "the nation" aka social welfare programs do with said money?

    and whats the problem with this, yes some abuse it, but the majority dont. For this to be a christian nation and the right purports to be such christians, taking this view against the poor is hypocritical.

    Matthew 25:34-36
    Matthew 25:34-36 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, "Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."

    The problem is if Mr. Z makes x amount of dollars and pays y amount in taxes that is required, why is it incumbent upon Mr. Z to pay y x 2 when the system decides that y just isn't enough of HIS money. That shit aint yalls (figure of speech, not intended to be aimed at any particular person, race, creed, religion et al)

    To compound the problem, if he is already paying y and then the machine says, "weeeeelll we decided that just isn't enough" and they bump it up to some other number, you can bet your ass it won't stay there for long. It will just continue to rise so I say again, leave that mans stuff alone. Shit don't belong to no one but him.


    I would add that those that are complaining about the rich not doing enough are not taking into account the amount of money that they donate to charity. I don't know any billionaires but I know some pretty rich mo fo's and they dump piles of money into charity because it helps with the already high taxes. We as a country are really generous with this type of stuff, more so than any other country on this rock. I ask again, how much of his money do you want? There has to be incentive to work hard.

    What I said was that Gates donates to both parties and so does Microsoft. Please try to pay attention.



    So what? 44 percent of Americans are retired, housewives, or disabled.

    Every modern country on the planet pays for its indigents, Jethro. It has nothing to do with socialism.

    OK, how much? How does that compare with their taxes? Make a case.

    That is not what this is all about, don't turn into GYVER. Taxes pay for a lot more than welfare and you know it.
