She is the type of individual that inspires me.

I noticed my waiter had on a "Obama 08" tee shirt.

When the bill came, I decided not to tip the waiter and explained to him while he had given me exceptional service, that his tee shirt made me feel he obviously believes in Senator Obama's plan to redistribute the wealth. I told him I was going to redistribute his tip to someone that I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. He stood there in disbelief and angrily stormed away.

That was cynical and cruel and puts you in the same category as the idiotic woman who refused to give Halloween candy to kids whose parents supported Obama. It's also not an example of "walking the talk." More like "Christian" hypocrisy at its worst.


Cynical, cruel, idiotic.....lovely adjectives to apply to someone and not on the constructive side...

HELP!!!! NOT SUPPORT!!!!!! And I stated that at the beginning of my post!!!!

The Bible also states that the FAMILY of the Widowed is obligated to provide for the Widow...NOT the Nation, but the individual family

1 Timothy 5:4
4But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God

1 Timothy 5:16
If any woman who is a believer has widows in her family, she should help them and not let the church be burdened with them, so that the church can help those widows who are really in need.


The FAMILY..the CHURCH...again NOT the NATION.

Thank You, Lindyy!

I would like you to know that I don't mind helping people in need. Every year, my family goes to a homeless shelter and buys Christmas gifts for the children living in these shelters. I specifically remember spending my entire Christmas day helping the younger children at a shelter learn how to ride their new bikes we had just bought them (amongst thousands of dollars worth of other gifts).

Another year, I had (on my own, above and beyond what I helped my family do) gone to another shelter for young teen mothers, and not only did I buy gifts for all of those teen mother's children, but gifts for the teen mothers as well.

Another year, we bought half of a department store for Christmas(clothes, toys, shoes, ...) for 24 children from low-income families.

I am a very giving person on top of paying my taxes, but I don't give to the person who is demanding and expects it.




Tina -
YOU are among other hard working & tax paying citizens who reach out & help those in need....KUDOS to you, although I am sure that you do this out of your HEART - NOT to be patted on the back for it.

I sponsor a little girl in Brooklyn, NY through Metro Ministries.....she lives in a crime filled, drug inhabited ghetto "Bushwick." It HELPS provide food, clothing,school supplies, Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners & gift. The ministry HELPS and does NOT preach OBLIGATION.....

I join in with you, I REFUSE to support those who do not EARN what they receive......

I'm poor AND stoopid


Yeah, I know.:wink:


and I don't pay taxes.

so as long as we're redistributing the wealth...


You pay taxes every time that you purchase an item.




This thread is about FEDERAL INCOME TAXES....not sales taxes....

Thank you....because the poster I responded to is, allegedly, a Christian....and should follow Christian doctrine.

Hmmmm...went to church this morning. The pastor was talking about how difficult the times are now. Told us that we were supposed to be helping those less fortunate than ourselves.
There's a lot of passages in the Bible that say to do that too.


THE word is HELP & that is directed towards Christians.....DO NOT forget that Jesus said that if you do not work you do NOT eat!!

NOW, THEREFORE, to-wit this 9th day of November, 2008, Lindyy hereby DECLARES & DECREES that, since the "DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED" by PRIOR postings, that the following excerpt from the Christians' Holy Bible be granted and entered into through posting as factual evidence and proffered freely and openly through said prior "OPEN DOOR" policy & legality:

Proverbs 31: (Old Testament of Christian Bible)

Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character

10 [c] A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the BREAD OF IDLENESS.

...................."

SOCIALISM was NOT acceptable in the days PRIOR to, DURING or AFTER the days of Jesus Christ.

THEREFORE, it is NOT deemed appropriate in current society......

Why can't the rich pay a higher percentage of taxes than the poor???



Touche...


UMMM, THEY ALREADY DO!!! Much higher tax percentage, the difference of 35% to 10%.


35 percent of a billion is **** compared to 25 percent of 18000 a year.
With loopholes and all it aint the rich nor the po paying its the working poor and lower middle class.I live in the real America.Apparently some here live in Fantasyland.By the way I'm a moderate as are most here.By the way I don't want your damn money,I just want a break.If you guys are so worried ,get the IRS abolished and income tax so we can actually get the bucks we work for.


Let me spell it out in words that people like you can understand.

Let's say you are selling candybars to earn your way to camp. If you sell 200 candybars, you have earned a free ride to camp. Any more candybars you sell over 200, you will get $.10 of spending money while you are at camp. Your classmates all have the same amount to sell for a free ride to camp and spending money as well.

You work your butt off day and night and all weekend long to sell 250 candybars. This must mean that not only do you have a free ride to camp, but you also get $5 in spending money.

Now everything turns around and you are forced to help the kids that did nothing to earn their free ride and the camp director now tells you that 1/3 of your candybar sales are going to help other kids, and you no longer have a free ride to camp.

This means that you are going to have to sell 45 more candybars (now, hopefully you know that the tax will still count on the candybars you are going to have to re-sell in order to pay your way) The math is done like this: 250*2/3 = 166.67. Well, no one can only sell .33 of a candybar, so we round up one. We have to sell 34 candybars, but those 34 will then be taxed, so we multiply. 34*1.33333=45.33333 (we rounded up before, so now we can round down to 45).

Maybe this can make a little more sense to all of you that can't think past the scope of a childhood education.

Tina


Why are you being rude?


I see NO rudeness....simply someone with PATIENCE & Common sense taking the time to TRY to explain FACTS. Gratefulness is the word that should be able to be seen towards TIA...IMO..

TINA: See? No matter what you do, say or the facts you provide....things just are not comprehensible by many....SIGH....

I do not make much money, I do the best with the skills I have, I live modestly and am content with what I have. I am basically a HAPPY PUPPY!

I am all for programs to assist those in need....reaching out & HELPING (NOT SUPPORTING)........ BUT I and the rest of the citizenship of the USA are NOT obligated to provide for others.

Those who are financially wealthy got there through hard work, tons of stress & lots of determination & self sacrifice.......To have the AUDACITY to say these individuals are obligated to "COUGH UP" their hard earned money is mind boggeling....what

Sure, it would be nice to have the skills to EARN (I stress the word EARN)and/or make more money....but I do not, THEREFORE, I make the best of what I have, live sensibly & modestly and am grateful for the wealthy BECAUSE it is THEY, the dastardly, how dare they be "rich", who provide the millions of jobs for others to EARN a living.....and pay the millions of dollars in taxes to keep the USA going.....

Do people REALLY think the minuscule amount paid in taxes by the mid to low class wage earners & the non-tax paying wage earners - keeps things running in the USA? The words "COMMON SENSE" seem to be missing in this thread.frustrated slaphead
