Is It Really Belt Tightening

[PanzerJaeger]

I have never seen a poor person manage to walk out of Target without paying the 9.25% (maybe it's even higher) sales tax.

Have you ever seen a poor person buy food at Target? Have you ever seen a poor person buy anything in Alaska, Oregon, Montana, Deleware, or New Hampshire?

Anyway, I thought we were talking about federal taxes. The Bush tax cuts had nothing to do with state and local taxes.

Here's how the current tax scheme play's out. (Actually, the higher brackets are paying an even greater percentage of the taxes today than in 2005.)

In other words tis better to accept a smaller slice else the people in there anger take the whole loaf.

I don't support buying off the unwashed out of fear of violent revolution.
