Why are people so concerned about their tax money being misused for something things, but not others?

Question

So many people complain about illegal immigrants draining resources from tax monies that go to education and health care. Why aren't they getting upset at the richest 1% who get TAX CUTS left and right from the Bush admin.--not the middle class (those people complaining the most about immigration), who also are struggling to make ends meet. Rich people are the criminals--not the illegal immigrants! I guess everyone wants to be like those rich people one day, so it is easier to point the finger at brown people.

Answer 1

Hell that money isn't even going for education it's going in some rich guys pocket . There is supposed to be money for the uninsured but hospitals are pocketing that money. Have you ever been to the hospital without insurance ? I have and it will cost you BIG . POLITICIANS ARE USING IMMIGRATION AS A SCAPEGOAT . They make Immigration sound as if its this huge infiltration. Here are the real # s - 11 million immigrants are going to take over a country of 300 million - right give me a brake.

A school board administrator in the town where I live was thrown off the board for taking trips to Maui and letting the school system foot the bill for it. The Guy made hundreds of thousands a year. Yes point the finger at the brown man. Easy resolution for difficult problems.

Answer 2

Lets look at this realistically, if you earn $100,000,000 and your taxed 1% that is $10,000. If you earn $15,000 and your taxed, oh lets say 5%, your taxed $750.00. Those that earn more, do pay more. Plus they've earned it! Hard working, honest, tax paying US citizens. Yes, most everyone wants to be rich, debt free, but of course that isn't possible. Look at the rich in Mexico. They don't care about the poor. In fact, they take away from the poor. From what I've seen, Mexican rich are the most corrupt, dishonest people. They treat their own like slaves. Remember, the 'rich' people you refer to are paying their taxes and not breaking the law like the illegals crossing the border illegally!

Answer 3

Rich people are rich because they don't spend their money on stupid crap like the lower/middle class people tend to do.

That doesn't make them criminals, it makes them smarter with their money. Middle class people don't need to struggle, but they do because people anymore are part of a 'I NEED IT NOW' generation. So they rack up huge credit card debt so they can have their Coach bags, and Burberry sweaters, and drive Escalades or a Mercedes that they have absolutely no business driving.

It's not the fault of the rich that there are people who can't budget, so why should people who can manage their money be punished because of the jealousy of the lower classes?

Sheesh.

Answer 4

I am concerned about both. But I dont think the rich people are the criminals. It is the Illegals who are the criminals, And not all Illegals are brown. You are letting your prejudice show once again.

Answer 5

Illegals, do not file income tax!!! because they don't have a Social Security!! People are so ignorant! The reason they talk, it's because they have a mouth!! The Minutemen, trying to keep illegals from enterin the USA. I wonder if the American Indians, had done the same thing, what had the prison release anglos had done??? Go back to europe'?

Answer 6

So you people honestly think that if you earn more money than someone else you should have to pay a higher PERCENTAGE of your income in taxes.

So someone that busts their *** and earns $200,000 should pay 37% of their earned income, or $74,000 in taxes, while someone who busts their *** and earns $50,000 should pay 27% of their earned income, or $13,500 in taxes.

(Income taxes are not this simple but it is not practical to go very indepth in this venue).

I don't understand why people would want to discourage people from earning money.


And exactly how are "rich" people the criminals? Simply being wealthy is a crime? Who signed that law?

Answer 7

I don't really see a question in your question, it's more of a ranting about your opinions than anything else. I am very opposed to both of the issues you raised, illegal immigration and tax cuts for the rich.

Answer 8

Because the richest people pay about 93% of all taxes.

Haha - ILLEGAL immigrants arent criminals?

do you know what the defeinition of Illegal is?

Answer 9

definite, I quite have heard of "defalcation." as quickly as back, i think of you already know the respond on your question. of direction government can in no way spend funds as judiciously as you could spend it your self. yet that quite isn't the bigger situation, is it? the bigger situation is two-fold: the common public reliable, and Collective reaction... Many public products can't be accomplished by individual action: national protection, criminal Justice, and so on, can in easy terms be accomplished if individual sums are accrued and spent on behalf of the human beings for their income by skill of government performing in a fiduciary way. yet previous that, for the final one hundred years, there has been a greater pass in commercial societies to collectivize duty for what heretofore were private concerns of no concern to government: Retirement, wellness Care, and so on. as quickly as back, the reaction of government has been to collect individual money for applications of offering at the same time what quite everyone seems to be greater and greater annoying. i could desire to be incorrect, yet i think of what has sparked your question isn't quite the malfeasance of defalcation, yet what Economists call "lease searching for," it extremely is the pursuit of public money for extremely own constructive properties. Such hobbies are undertaken simply by defective concept that society is the sum of its communities, and subsequently the delight of team goals will become the driving rigidity of public coverage, to the detriment of majority goals. Do I trust "lease searching for?" of direction no longer, that's a dreadful practice and is in simple terms getting worse. yet I additionally know that it lies on the middle of politics and can no longer bypass away. that's hassle-free to indicate that out and denounce the fraud, waste and abuse of public monies by skill of elected officers; yet see you later simply by fact the human beings pay no interest there is not any longer something which would be accomplished. the government you get is the government you deserve.

Illegals granted Social Security
By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
May 19, 2006

The Senate voted yesterday to allow illegal aliens to collect Social Security benefits based on past illegal employment -- even if the job was obtained through forged or stolen documents.
"There was a felony they were committing, and now they can't be prosecuted. That sounds like amnesty to me," said Sen. John Ensign, the Nevada Republican who offered the amendment yesterday to strip out those provisions of the immigration reform bill. "It just boggles the mind how people could be against this amendment."
The Ensign amendment was defeated on a 50-49 vote.
"We all know that millions of undocumented immigrants pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for years and sometimes decades while they work to contribute to our economy," said Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican.
"The Ensign amendment would undermine the work of these people by preventing lawfully present immigrant workers from claiming Social Security benefits that they earned before they were authorized to work in our community," he said. "If this amendment were enacted, the nest egg that these immigrants have worked hard for would be taken from them and their families."
Mr. Ensign was among 44 Republicans and five Democrats who voted to block such payouts.
"It makes no sense to reward millions of illegal immigrants for criminal behavior while our Social Security system is already in crisis," said Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican. "Why in the world would we endorse this criminal activity with federal benefits? The Senate missed a big opportunity to improve this bill, and I doubt American seniors will be pleased with the result."
Sen. Patrick J. Leahy, Vermont Democrat, said it would be unfair to deny illegals the benefits.
"We should not steal their funds or empty their Social Security accounts," he said. "That is not fair. It does not reward their hard work or their financial contributions. It violates the trust that underlies the Social Security Trust Fund."
Within hours, the vote had become an issue in this fall's elections, raised by a Republican challenger to Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Michigan Democrat.
"Instead of protecting the retirement security of Americans who are earning an honest living and abiding by the laws of our country, Debbie Stabenow sided with people who are here illegally and abuse our Social Security system," Oakland County, Mich., Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a press release. "Allowing illegal immigrants to use their illegal work history as credit towards receiving Social Security benefits shows that Debbie Stabenow has forgotten who she is supposed to be working for in the U.S. Senate."
The Senate also yesterday approved an amendment to adopt English as the nation's official language, while reversing course from the day before on protections for U.S. workers who will face new competition from unskilled immigrant labor under the Senate bill. In addition, senators voted last night to kill an amendment that would have specified that the guest-worker program will not provide visas that would provide a path to citizenship.

The only good thing in this proposed bill is the English
as official language part.
