Who should be paying more?

[Dazzle1]

We hear a lot from the liberal media on how the rich don't pay their fair share.

How about non essential federal employees and their pay and pensions.

How about cutting their pay in half and retroactivly getting rid of their pensions.

They are far less deserving.

How about they dump all non essential govenment employees....What the hell is a Non essential employee, and what do they do.

How about, all federal employee's; Pay ALL their own benifits, and receive NO pension, Try investing our redistributed tax dollars

Cut the salary for congress and the senate in half. They pay for their travel. when the are voted out, or arrested, or retire. They have federal benefits for 10 days. President receives NO pay. He lives in the lap of luxury anyhoo. Toads like Obama signed a multi-million dollar book deal before he took the oath of office.

He and his old lady, have been enjoying a 00000.1% good'ol time. especially Much'elle

Assuming someone should be paying more is self-defeating and takes your eye off the real economic problem, the size and scope of the Federal Government.




Everyone should be paying less for less.

Liberals want us to pay more and more for less and less so that soon we will be paying everything for nothing. Conservatives want us to pay less and less for more and more until we will be paying nothing for everything.


Yeah, I get it.

The gov't payroll is hugely bloated. The Ag dept. is the largest agency outside of the military, it is larger than in the 50's and the number of farms is no where near what it was then. They have their own little worlds and you will never hear a gov't agency say we really need to cut our workers as we are way over staffed.

Wrong - again. Ag is 6th largest. Am I the only one who has access to government web sites?

Wow aren't you on the ball. The point remains the same.

How many different titles does it take before even an elementarily-educated human being realizes an answer seeking the meaning of "fair share" can never be objectively reached...

...it must always be forced.
