Why is the Left so unhappy about our Socialist system?

Question

40% of the country collects a government check. Families making 150K pay almost half to our various levels of government, essentially creating a system where there is little difference between that and 75K, yet all they scream about is tax cuts for the rich and complain about CEO's (as if most people have that title and Republicans are FOR stealing) What a bunch of rhetoric.

Answer 1

When they get 51% of the voters on the government tit, then they will be able to declare mission accomplished. From then on they will be able to do whatever they want and all they have to campaign on is "Vote for a Republican and you WILL GET TAXED" That ought to keep them in power long enough to totally destroy this country.

OMG, 40% of taxes pays the national debt? You mean out of the 2.9 TRILLION budget, that 1.16 TRILLION goes to the National Debt. Well you better go call the budget office because they have their figures wrong the last time I checked the budget. Next time you spout "FACTS" why don't you spend about 5 minutes doing a google search.

Answer 2

You might want to do a little bit of research on the definition of Socialist and Socialism. Also, when folks like me talk about tax cuts we are not referring to people making 150K. I do not consider those people 'rich' by any means. However, there is a lot of difference between making that and 75K. Keep in mind that the 75K folks pay taxes also and those taxes do continue to rise.

As for you point on the CEO's. Nobody I have heard talk believes Republicans are for stealing. That does not change the fact that this justice department has been very hesitant to take action against many or the CEO's accused of wrongdoing.

You are correct on one thing though, just about everything you wrote was indeed a bunch of rhetoric.

Answer 3

Kvevch, kvevch, kvevch! Dude, you live in the Beverly Hills of nations. It would be nice if we could dump this Bush Junta and their nonsense policies and incompetence, but other than that what's the big complaint? If you want to live in a third world country try Mexico...you'll love it. There's hardly any government at all and the 'rich' own and operate 90% of everything worth owning and operating. Shazam..you'll fit right in. Dude...you've got it made in the shade right here in the good 'ol US of A. Pay your taxes and thank the Great Hamster in the Sky that you're an American. Oh, yeah....the non-existant 'left' is a propaganda term. There's no 'left' left in US politics, no commies under your bed and no 'liberals' as the right wing talk show nitwits, halfwits and dimwits keep yakin' about. Have a nice day!

Answer 4

40% of the country collects a government paycheck? Prove it. Where are your statistics coming from. 40% of our tax dollars go to the military industrial complex. http://www.fcnl.org/pdfs/taxday.pdf
19% goes just to pay interest on the rising national debt.

Answer 5

Steal from the rich people who work hard and give to the poor who eat Cheetos on the couch. The Libs are such heroes.

Answer 6

Here are some statistics for you: 40 % of your taxes buy NOTHING. It pays interest on the national debt. And 80 % of that was run up by this president and Ronald Reagan. So thank them.

Answer 7

Its not socialism at it's purest form unless we have someone like komrade Stalin running the place with an iron fist. Therefore they won't be happy until all are poor except for the members of the elite.

Answer 8

Maybe because ignorant trolls such as yourself get to run off at the mouth like the brave little chicken hawk troll you are

Answer 9

Because the system in this country is NOT working with the very rich getting tax breaks and not paying THEIR SHARE of taxes.

Answer 10

Why can we not have a flat tax rate then everyone pays the same percentage out of the money they make, is that not fair? If i make more money i should keep more of my money.
