45% of Americans pay no federal income tax

#67

Quote:A few things Anchorman.


1. What are the reasons jobs are flying out of this country?

2. A majority of the "poor" in this country have no clue what poverty is.

3. With all of the people not working in this country why do we have HB1 Visa's?

4. If more people were paying into the system and had a stake in the game would there be more of an uproar for reform to the current system?


I think I understand your points, but would you care to elaborate?


Jobs are flying overseas because of free trade deals that favor the business and not the worker... you know, prior to free trade deals, workers in the usa were still getting paid at higher levels than in developing countries and the effective corporate tax rates in the usa were alot higher than they are now.


As for the poor in this country, so the fact that they are not as poor as poor people in Brazil, or China, or Sudan makes it ok? Seriously, I don't get this mentality...
