I'm sick of people saying that if you want a tax cut you're selfish. I work for my money. It's my money. I don't claim entitlement to someone ELSE'S money. The people who do - they're the ones who are greedy and selfish!

Tax cuts are good for the economy. They create wealth.
(Liberals especially hate it. They would LOVE to go back to the pre-Reagan 50%+ tax bracket days.)

You people don't seem to comprehend the problems with the word "earn." One person over here, for example, "earns" $15 an hour doing manual labor for a county government highway department. This other person "earns" $15 an hour welding parts for lawnmowers on an assembly line. This person "earns" $10 an hour for carrying out janitorial duties necessary to the functioning of a school or office building. But this other person "earns" $600 a day for giving two or three people legal advice and perhaps sitting through a court session or two in a business suit.
Is the amount of schooling the cause for this disparity? Surely not. People with Ph.D.s in just about every subject attend as much as, if not more, school than doctors and lawyers. Firefighters perform duties just as "life-saving" as the most skilled heart surgeon and get paid probably one-tenth the amount.
Our system has turned the word "earn" into a rather enormous problem.

First, I (among many, many others) have opposed to tax cuts to those who own everything, not the people who do all the work.
The people at the top did not "earn" all that money.
They should have to pay taxes, it isn't right for only the people at the bottom to pay all the taxes.
The people who, for example, take 60 million dollar bonuses for stealing the working employees retirement funds do not deserve any of that money, the people who worked for it deserve to not have had their retirement money stolen.
If you actually do productive work (as opposed to making your living running companies into the ground, or stealing from the governments), then the tax cuts that were passed during the Bush administration probably haven't done much for you.
(I got 3 bucks back, and paid 14 cents less every two weeks -- the people who own everything and run the country got piles of money back and paid piles upon piles less after. That was not fair; I'm not being greedy to say so.)
Don't be fooled. When the bozos in power talk about tax cuts, they aren't talking about cutting your taxes, they're only talking about cutting services to you.

You interest my memory of that previous college roomie I had who continuously whined approximately how unfair it replaced into for her to pay a million/3 (same as each else) because of the fact it replaced into HER money. She enjoyed some super reward of our condominium, and subsequently could rightfully pay. I pay taxes, my mothers and dads paid taxes, my grandparents paid taxes, and you're telling me that there is something incorrect with that? Who do you think of you're? despite financial fulfillment you get excitement from, you get excitement from on account which you have get entry to to the structures and infrastructures of the U. S. and your community. You get excitement from those reward, and subsequently could rightfully pay. "protecting your wealth" is an exceedingly inventive thank you to describe what cab drivers, bar tenders, and cops call a "no pay." it is your place type? in case you get excitement from significant wealth then you are patently reaping rewards extra from our international locations structures and infrastructures than a individual who's residing on an exceedingly modest earnings. once you earnings extra, you rightfully pay extra. it is complicated to comprehend?

money does not come from a vacuum...the richest got theirs from taking it in some way from others....if you are rich, where did your money come from...how much did you pay your employees...this is the unwritten agreement between the rich and the working class.....the rich get a workforce and the workers get some protection by being part of the system....sure some get a free ride for a while, but they are not what is breaking your bank account....the government wastes so much and so many do not pay what they should...this hurts us all....It's fine to want to prosecute the ones who cheat on welfare, but you need to jail tax cheats as well........encourage your political leaders to be fiscally conservative as well

I don't think you could say that "greedy" is the proper term to use in either case. Both are based on the premise of scarcity--there is not enough to go around, and I want my share (or mine and more). What is interesting is to witness what happens when one focuses not on scarcity but abundance--the loaves and fishes that fed the multitude, a story of Jesus, explains this.

Tax cuts are only good when the government isn't spending into a deficit. Otherwise it just costs you in the long run.

Yes, communal welfare is selfish and complete uncapitalistic. We work for our money and there shouldn't be any income distribution.

Liberals say they want to redistribute the wealth. It happens naturally when you start a successful business and take others money.

I would say so.
How come it is many rich libs like Al Gore and Jessie Jackson who give so little to charity?
They prefer to give your money. They can then show how much they care and how greedy you are.
