Interestingly, my understanding is their tax plan benefits the vast majority of Americans. I've also read that their claims are legitimate, and my own testing of their plan showed a decrease in taxes.


To be honest, I really don't care if my taxes go down, but I do think this country was better served by 1990s rates than our current set of rates.

Approximately 40% in US pay no income taxes at all.

I'm a teacher - so I am already 'spreading my income around' every time I have to provide materials for my students - which is every day, especially with our new round of budget cuts. So I have been 'spreading my income around' for years now. Paper, pencils, lunch money, mittens, hats, and the list goes on and on and on.

In my school district, we have been specifically told that we cannot make parents provide supplies.

That is very gracious of you! I really don't think we would be having this dicussion had Bush not given the top1% of wealthy earners such a big money grab. The wealthy are not hurting in the least. Bush gave tax cuts to the WRONG people. He would have done better by giving less cuts to the middle class, less, but more than we actually got, which could be put in a shot glass. Basically nothing at all. The top1% on the otherhand can "hide their money" in overseas banks. So, i'm rather tired of the over 250,000 crowd moaning about their precious money which they didn't use to help the economy anyway,you know, I've read that folks making 250,000 and over have given jobs! Maybe 10.00 an hour and less jobs, but the price of everything has gone up. so 10.00 is more like 7.00.


You know what's funny? the folks of Hollywood, aren't bellyaching about the thought of paying more taxes, I've only read it in here!

...and yet people here are cheering a candidate for president, backed by a super-majority, most likely, in congress that wants to raise federal taxes. Money that goes to the cesspool of Washington DC
