I've never been to the UK in my entire life, I was born and raised in Washington State and I still live here. |

Well I know most of the forum isn't from palestine, I didn't think you spoofed your country of origin though.
See here's the problem with having tax rates that high.
1. The federal income tax goes to paying off our debt to the fed, and nothing else.
2. It stagnates economic growth
3. It's inevitable with this new hybridized form of global centric socialism and the enduring psychosis of the neo-conservative ideals, that the money will end up being spent on bombing brown people somewhere. |

I am willing to bet that i pay a lot more taxes then you 17, and although i would love to keep some more $$$ at the end of the year, the services they fund are essential as well as make this a better place to live. I'd rather lose a bigger % of salary in exchange of a better education system (which the US fails hard at), health care, social assistance and anything else that could allow people to live a better life.
Many people who complain about taxes (like that hillbilly redneck republican who was yelling out heil hitler in that other thread) also complain about the have nots that need help . If you are born into poverty, without help you will most likely stay in it forever.
A smarter country that gives the lower tiers of population the tools to go further is a better country. A better country is good for everyone.
You might not agree, but the "looking out for number 1" attitude is what got America into the huge mess it is in right now. Selfishness ceases to maintain when there is no longer anything left to take.;)
Kennedy had a lot of not so great traits, but his service to the American people was long standing and he deserves respect for it. |

there's wealth and good people in Texas, there are also bigots and racists too. By no means am I trying to paint everyone with the same brush; but history tells us, democrats usually stand up for human rights, education, and values which are utilitarian in nature.
Wealthy democrats are usually better than wealthy republicans; they are less prone to engage in bigotry; and they enjoy the same amount of riches as their counterparts...they are just....better
you can have millions of dollars and that will not make you elite. :toothless |

No, forcing people to help others by taxing them for "social programs" is un-American. And the U.S. does contribute more in voluntary charity, just not in "foreign aid" money that people are forced to give up by their governments.
