Someone mentioned pet peeves earlier–mine is when bathrooms in restaurants have signs that say employees MUST wash their hands–must they be reminded?

I’m gonna watch the Super Bowl this afternoon and just not worry about it too much until tomorrow. Then I can start hunting more actively.

Besides, this way I can spend more time at the gym, reading the postings here, and catching up on reading.

When I read that Exxon paid 28 billion in taxes, and let’s remember that Exxon is but ONE large company, one wonders why they are taxing the “people” at all! How much money do they need?

And now Hillary wants to FORCE me to buy health insurance by garnishing my wages.

For the average person in this country — I should say, the average person BORN here — it doesn’t really pay to work.

Yep, your last sentence is true–but it shouldn’t be called a “rebate” if the people who pay the most taxes don’t get any, and people who don’t pay taxes at all get a lot. From a “rebate” perspective it struck me as quite ironic that families with more kids (and thus more deductions) get more money. I know someone who makes about the same as me (he doesn’t have a mortgage and I do), but pays little in taxes because they’re a family of six; they will get four times as much as I do. (And I pay very little in federal taxes; mostly I pay self-employment taxes, because I don’t earn enough to pay a lot of taxes. So from a “rebate on federal taxes” standpoint, I shouldn’t get much.)

“Rebate” by definition means “return of money paid” not “redistribution of wealth.” Am I personally happy about the “rebate”? Sure–it will help me pay my June self-employment taxes. But I’d rather just keep my own money and not pay self-employment taxes at all!

So creating jobs and owning businesses pays less than $600 (the maximum rebate that an individual gets?) Because that’s the only way your statement makes any sense.

The wealthier people get less or no rebate because they don’t need the money.

It now pays way, way much more to be an illegal alien rather than a tax paying American citizen who creates jobs and owns businesses. American citizenship is now virtually worthless, and there are incentives in place for Americans to be illegals instead. Ooooopppssssss!. I forgot illegal aliens are put in jail, deported, tortures, fined, hanged or shot in other countries. My mistake.

But this will not stop socialists from taxing the heck out of oil companies to steal their profits. Yes Exxon did make $40 Billion in profits, nearly the average for an American company based on a % of sales – but Exxon also paid $28 Billion in taxes which took their net income from $68 billion to $40 Billion in net profits. This is a tax rate of 41% – 5% higher than any American pays today.

But the lefties want to raise taxes on the richest Americans by 5% (and the richest Americans already pay 84% of all income taxes)and give it to those that do not pay any taxes at all. These socialists also want to raise the taxes on capital gains too to punished the evil rich who pay the vast majority of the taxes now. Yes, socialists think the rich are evil even though they the vast majority of all taxes and debt while creating the jobs everyone else that hates them need to survive.

Yes, no good deed goes unpunished. By the time the socialists get through with America and its evil, rich capitalists that have, in the past, been responsible for America’s greatness, America will be called Nuevo Norte Mexico for good reason, and all old Americans will know what socialism really means for all – that everyone will be equally morally and financially bankrupt and corrupt.
