/points /laughs @ adult making minimum wage.



Would you rather they stay on unemployed benefits? There are actually high skill workers who have been laid off and now have to work near minimum wage jobs. There are not nearly enough well-paying jobs out there.

Typical conservative idiocy. GET A JOB. Oh, you are already employed and working 40 hours a week? NO I MEANT A DIFFERENT (non-existent) JOB.

The big problem with capital gains is that it is not indexed to inflation.

THAT is what sets all of this up.

If capital gains were indexed to inflation and taxed as regular income then it wouldnt be this way. I mean you are supposed to know the basis for your cap gains anyway so it isnt adding any recordkeeping that is not already there.

Abolish sales tax.

Abolish customs tax and tariffs.



I would much rather there be no income tax and instead have a flat 15% sales tax on everything. Considering most states already have a sales tax, people would be just paying the difference of the increase but they would be making a LOT more.

And Republicans are always talking about how working class people are paid too much, driving jobs into China. If they have their way, 99% of working adults will be paid below what is now min wage jobs (since they will also abolish the minimum wage).

Their tax policies and voting records would speak otherwise.
