Americans in general should pay more taxes .

but they are old, fat, lazy, untrained, and handicapped. oh, and unlucky.This problem began one hundred years ago.

 

Trimming the fat ain't easy. It's gotta happen and there will be some pain involved.

 

I take this as a metaphor.

If everything crashed none of the lazy and sick would survive, oh darn.

 

Also cut the President's pay as well, also no payed vacations for all politicians. They are elected to represent the people, so they need to do their job. Alsp put in term limits and remove all lobbyists

We need another president like Harry S Truman

 

LOL, let's see, that was in 1959....So yeah, been a little while...lol

 

Well people do have the ability to care for themselves actuually. However, my suggestion here would be to cut them over a period of time, never elliminate - just revamp - overhaul the system. I like a plan that all on wellfare should be required to train for employment, as opposed to doing nothing to improve their situation. Well-fare should be an 18 month program not a lifelong handout as it currently is. Furthermore, it is ludricrous that unemployment benefits last 2 years and arre constantly being extended. That system is completely dysfunctional as well. I can just imagine the tax dollars saved by reorganizing these programs. I'd like to see an incentive for those who pay into unemployment yet never use the benefit. Bottomline, the citizens should be entitled to opportunity, not entilted to handouts - Strict limits must be impossed on wellfare and unemployment

 

I agree with you, our entitlement programs need a major overhaul as the amount of people who are abusing the system is drastically increasing

 

Has anyone here ever seen Idiocracy, ( I think thats the name )

It's a movie where the dumb and worthless keep breeding 90 kids and responsible people have one or two and the tards breed out the intelligent. It was suppose to be a comedy, I call it a horror because it's happened/happening.

You can change all the taxes, programs, and laws you want, but until you change the people, forget it. Lazy breeding lazier, 'Merica

 

Also the number of gov employees needs cut too. Just think if we wend to a flat tax system with no deductions. There would be no IRS, or it would be 1/100 of the size it is now.

 

man i think its just nuts that my cheque was 11k gross and banked only 6300 of it!!!!!!

insane!!! thank god i have second cheque coming yet this month, pay those kind of taxes and you'll be debt free in no time

 

X2

 

Hmmmm, 40% bring home.......sounds very familiar for years. They are angling for 75% for them and 25% for me doing the work. Bullshit. The handouts are what is turning people into welfare addicts when they can have just as much and more by doing nothing. Nothing motivates people to excel when they have to give it all away to those who do nothing. When there is no way to win, people will stop playing and just hop on the gravy train soon to be gravyless at this rate.

 

great fucking movie

 

When I got out of the military I was working overtime (45-55hrs a week) at a factory in my hometown before I started school. A guy I know who got out a year before me was making 400 more dollars a month than me off of unemployment and whatever other assisted income junk and not working one minute of the day. 'Merica

 

Electrolytes, it's what plants crave.

 

Hahaha, Then again,.you might be one of the sick ones tomorrow. Unless your young and invincible !!!

 

Don't worry scrote, there are plenty of 'tards out there living kick ass lives

 

I am a person of disabilities, I would hack it best I could, and you know what, if I went down with the masses, so be it, but I doubt I'd have a harder time than most

 

What about old people ?

 

Me too, go figure. I am paralyzed, and don't want to leave my kids without a Dad by "going down with the masses". I am not nor have I ever collected aid from the government in any way. I still work as much as I can. Good luck with your struggles, I hope things improve.
