The Battle of the 1%

Why not (0.00 / 0)

simply do away with the entire income tax system? That would solve this problem really, really quick.

Negative. (0.00 / 0)

Implement national sales tax, keep gasoline tax, marginally increase capital gains tax, cut government spending.It should be on the table.

With a national sales tax the criminals would have to pay more of their fair share. Likewise a large percentage of wealthy people make most of their money from capital gains rather than actual income.

That and doing away with the Federal Income Tax system would do away with an expensive and largely unnecessary bureaucracy.

Good Ideas.... (0.00 / 0)

... but I like the notion of cutting government spending most of all.  Both political parties are responsible for horrendous and unnecessary spending, and the administration is likewise.

More left-wing horseshit :) (0.00 / 0)

How friggin' pathetic is this!

As far as I've researched so far, Romney has offered to release his tax info.  Secondly, and apparently, he has done nothing illegal in having a 15% Cap Gains tax rate (we ALL do, legally )  on capital gains) or in having foreign accounts.  His other income was taxed at the much higher rate, IAW his non-Cap Gains income.  And there's nothing wrong ( or is there suddenly) in being rich.  The Clintons have amassed huge sums since his presidency, John Kerry was never vilified for being rich, and many on Obama's staff  (T. Geithner who REALLY fucked the IRS) who had tax problems were never pressured by the MSM or lefty hate groups for their monetary shenanigans.  

This is nothing more than a witch hunt, and Vote Vets is in the middle of it, as usual.  Romney's monetary affairs have NOTHING to do with the active duty folks, vets, or retirees.  That's just a cheap, raunchy ploy being played out by Soltz, Smith, and the rest of the Kos crowd.  Again, how pathetic.

Other VoteVets Opinions! (0.00 / 0)

For your reading pleasure, here are more opinions about VoteVets' ridiculous paranoia regarding M. Romney's financial status.

I like that part about VoteVets needing to release THEIR books, their involvement in several PACS, their financial ties all the way up the ladder.  

It would be funny, but these people are actually serious about their paranoia, and importantly, how they pervert themselves in linking this to veterans' interests!
