Two reasons to vote Republican
- Thread starter central17
- Start date
I will not vote Republican again until this party completely remakes its self. Too many white supremist affiliations associated with it in office and out of office with influence. Too many! Also does not do what it used to do or what it say it does regarding every day people. This focus on making sure rich people and big corporations don't pay their share or contribution is problematic.
You should really do a little research on who pays taxes and who doesn’t. The largest majority of money paid to the irs is from the top 10%
High-Income Taxpayers Paid the Majority of Federal Income Taxes
In 2018, the bottom 50 percent of taxpayers (those with AGI below $43,614) earned 11.6 percent of total AGI. This group of taxpayers paid $45.1 billion in taxes, or roughly 3 percent of all federal individual income taxes in 2018.
In contrast, the top 1 percent of all taxpayers (taxpayers with AGI of $540,009 and above) earned 20.9 percent of all AGI in 2018 and paid 40.1 percent of all federal income taxes.
In 2018, the top 1 percent of taxpayers accounted for more income taxes paid than the bottom 90 percent combined. The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid roughly $615 billion, or 40.1 percent of all income taxes, while the bottom 90 percent paid about $440 billion, or 28.6 percent of all income taxes.

Clearly I said THEY DO NOT PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE! You have been fooled about how our economic system actually works. Also, made a point you completely ignored about race relations in that party. Why?
See, those who benefit most from the system inherently will pay the most in terms of actual dollars. Because the system allows them to make that money. It doesn't belong to them.
You can post all the think tank charts you want. The fact is Warren Buffets secretary gives more money to the tax system than he does. People like Jeff Bezos are NOT PAYING THIER TAX BURDEN. If you seriously think these are the only rich people that take advantage of not paying their fair share you are naïve AF.
These people are are bought and paid for in our government by the rich people. There is a reason the government defunded the money used to investigate tax fraud. These people are put into office to protect their interest. Nobody is protecting the rest of the people in that party....and the main reason for this is they have you believing differently. They get you to look at this the incorrect way. Not in terms of the percentage of the money they should pay in taxes based on what they earn like the rest of us. Because they want gullible people to think they part of some rich club they are not a part of.
It's not about who pays more. Because this system allows them to make more. The more you make the more you pay. That's common sense. That is the way it is supposed to be. Greed is destroying this country...and the republican party is one of extreme greed.

Funny that the examples you site of not paying their fair share are all major democrat contributors?
Their sanctimonious motto is "paying taxes is for thee - not for rich democrat contributors like me".
Your partisan politics mentality is causing you to miss the point. I dont care what party these people belong to. The republican party is how they all are allowed to benefit from it. I gave you the example but also put forth the fact they the IRS was defunded by the republican party. They have caused rich people to benefit. Stop thinking it is only republicans who are wealthy. That is far from the truth.
Yeah , new bbb crap will reduce the taxes on the rich. Oh the pay your fair share is never a number just a slogan the left uses and exempts their dim backers.
Where is your evidence? Therefore I can say your comments here are just something you conjured up to evade the facts. This isn't evidence based. Are you concerned the BBB will reduce taxes on the rich? Or are you concerned with finding something the BBB can be criticized about. I never heard you come here before concerned about reducing taxes for the rich so I call BS.
It's more than a slogan. Rich people themselves talk about this. Rich people do not pay their fair share and don't come here concerned about it under the veil of the BBB act.
Biden is reaching across the isle and trying to generate more equality among our country. The infrastructure is bill is a BFD for his first year. No matter how you slice it. This is a historic bill....and puts Biden favorable in the books.
Wait...WUT? I didn't make the comment. YOU DID! So YOU are the person required to support what you are saying.
Do you not comprehend what is written or just cut and paste from the DNC handbook?
You may want to consider taking the below reading comprehension course.
