(2,479 posts)Were we Republicans, we'd be fighting tax increases on US--instead, we stupidly walk along as democrats, saying Duhhh, yea tax me please, I want to pay extra taxes.
Instead, were we to strategize a bit, we should be calling for LOWERING sales taxes, better yet, doing away with them, and replacing them with indexed taxes on incomes, or as I said, even if we all instead of sales tax, paid 2% of our incomes, we'd come out much better off, than we do. Flat is much better than SKEWED completely against us, a kind of reverse indexing, where the poor pay larger amounts than the rich.
See, this agreement by so many Democrats, just shows me how well we're manipulated as well as Republicans by FOX. We hear an argument, we agree with argument, "Yea, Internet should not get away with this," rather than thinking "Hey, I'm going to lose one of the few tax cuts I've ever gained in modern times."
