Dems want to raise revenue.So why not tax the 47% that currently pay no Federal Income Tax?

The gladiator stated " The poor in America pay almost all their income for their necessities" I believe your definition of necessities are a bit different than mine friend. Here are some facts for you to chew on. The working poor are those individuals and families who maintain regular employment but remain in relative poverty due to low levels of pay and dependent expenses.

Among families with at least one member in the labor force for 27 weeks or more, those families with children under 18 years old were more than 4 times more likely than those without children to live in poverty. The average working poor has 2.5 children. Why would you keep having children you cannot afford?

Not a Necessity The Consumerist recently had an interesting post about a study that shows that poor households, with annual take-home incomes under $13,000, on average, spend $645 a year on lottery tickets, which comes to about 9% of their yearly income Not a Necessity The following are facts about persons defined as "poor" by the Census Bureau, taken from various government reports: 43% percent of all poor households actually own their own homes 75% of all poor households own a car 31% own two cars 97% own a color Television.

The poor in America pay almost all their income for their necessities. Almost all of a rich persons income is disposable while a poor person has virtually no disposable income. The bottom 40 percent of income earners only have 1 percent of the wealth and the top 1 percent have 35.

It makes sense that the rich pay 90 percent of taxes, since they have 90 percent of the wealth. And why are you defending the rich? You know they would run over you with a truck if they could get $500 out of it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
