Wow…Really?? Some the most recent, ignorant and idiotic youtube comments and yahoo answers i have found?

Voluntary US Tax System

"Interestingly enough, the Holocaust religion extends far beyond the internal Jewish discourse. In fact the new religion operates as a mission. It sets shrines in far lands. As we can see, the emerging religion is already becoming a new world order. It is the Holocaust that is now used as an alibi to nuke Iran To a certain extent we are all subject to this religion, some of us are worshipers, others are just subject to its power."

"The word "holocaust" means "burnt offering". This reflects the rabbinical theology that the collective Jewish people are the
Messiah and their sufferings under Hitler are an offering for sin, replacing the Sacrifice of Our Lord on Calvary. The number
six has symbolic value in Judaism. The star of David has six sides to it. Conclusion: six million Jews murdered in the
"Holocaust" is a bogus dogma of the New World Order religion, very similar to evolution (meant to replace creation)."

"it is good that american terrorists die for supporting zionist occupation of Palestine."

"0%, that is not just how much WE THE PEOPLE should give the government, but on a percentage scale, that is how
much of a soul they have. "obama is a radical communist…. the man is an abomination..he has to be stopped or the
united states will seise to exist" all of the leaders in the government are evil madmen that have no souls, and they will
destroy humanity."

"obama is a radical communist…. the man is an abomination..he has to be stopped or the united states will seise to
exist" all of the leaders in the government are evil madmen that have no souls, and they will destroy humanity. all of the
people that have awnserd so far will die, along with the new world order."

"Enough said!! About the "socialist running the country" but who voted [Obama] in ??There lies the answer to the liberal
esducational system these past 50 years!It is an inside problem!"

"It was in the news , they (chinese) are intent on buying as many foreclosure houses they can , they call themselves a
"small" group, of investors! Do you buy this? I tell you something is not right here! I think China and the puppet goverment
of the U.S [Bush- now Obama } have some kind of dance!!! Believe it...they are not just 'tourists.' Spies, I
say...strategically planting themselves all over the country,"

"Corporations that control genetic engeenering? Who are they?
I read that under the name of philanthropics thse foundations are using bio -genetics for population control ,plant
modification.and human experiments in thrird world countries!"

"Microchips , will they be inplanted to the people , and be obligatory?
Well they r doing it now to animals,and have done it to some people on a voluntary basis , but what is to stop the
goverment to inplement it , on the muddle lie of "protection"?Ive read somewhere that some countries in Europe are
demanding it , making it obligatory, so how long before it reaches the land of freedom?"

"our fredom is disappearing fast, surveillance all over, we are being watched, heard , searched , all in the name of rooting
out terrorism, but is this all a farce , to take away our freedom?And the silence to this is deafening!!"

"If is true that Israel was being rockeeted..."

"Its ok to use [nuclear weaons] as long as you convince others that your victems are terrorists or bad guys. For example,
Nazi Germany invaded and crushed Poland using US tax payers money backing Hitler to create Ghettos and claim it was
all for self defense against terrorists. Later, when they knew they would be caught for war crimes internationally, they all
became Israelies and do the same thing today as ZIONISTS, a none jewish heretic cult, and they do the same to
Palestine to carry on with ethnic cleansing claimming it is self defense against terrorism."

"I think JFK was Killed by his wife. In front of American and God."

"What is the real reason for this financial meltdown? I think to weaken the people. I think they wants to rid us of the paper
money and start a new money system without the physical perspective. Imagine. They have weaken our Constitutional
rights. They are obtaining control over us financially, physically scaring us with terrorism, playing God with the weather,
disrespecting our spirituality or disregarding our spirituality. Nobody operates with any integrity or morals it seems-wrong
is right and there is truth in lies. It is all fear based motives."

"I think the Israelis are collective hunting , for what Hitler did , on the wrong peoples! The worlds silence is not because
"they know the palestinians " it is because they are bound in this together , for guilt , and so the silence stands, what
happens tho if Israel [and it is in prophesy; attacks the hand that feeds it??? Did they [Jews] in germany when looking for
help, asked ‘and when there is no one else left , who will they come for’??"

Consequences of removing the cap on Payroll Tax?

payroll tax rates

Regarding Obama’s proposal to lift the cap on the payroll tax (Which could increase effective tax rates to over 50% just federally in the maximum brackets, according to the WSJ) – what do you think of this argument.

I am so against this proposal personally. But when talking with a friend the other day who is self employed. He told me that he really needs about ,000 to live comfortably each year, but as it stands now it is a goal of his every year to earn as much as he can over 0,000 and work as hard as possible to earn as much over the 0k threshhold because his effective tax rate GEOS DOWN about 15% because Payroll taxes are no longer collected. He still pays i think 28% federally- but no payroll tax.

So he said he’d have no motivation to earn more than 100k and would just work a lot less if the cap was lifted. He said his motivation to earn more than that amount would be gone if the cap was lifted.

So what do you think could this proposal actually hurt the economy more?

Should participation in Social Security be made voluntary?

voluntary taxes taken out of my check

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/mood_of_america_archive/social_security/49_say_workers_should_be_able_to_opt_out_of_social_security

A recent poll showed that 49% of Americans believe that Social Security should be made voluntary. 37% favor forcing people to participate. The rest are undecided.

Long before the Bush administration’s idiotic scheme to "privatize" Social Security, Barry Goldwater was attacked by LBJ because he wanted to make Social Security voluntary.

If I wish to opt-out of Social Security and neither pay Social Security tax nor receive Social Security welfare checks when I’m over 65, why shouldn’t I be able to make that choice? Why should I be forced to pay into this ponzi scheme (the current Social Security system) or into a government-run mutual fund (the Bush plan that failed miserably) from which I am unlikely to ever obtain any benefit?

Rather than forcing people to purchase health insurance (as Obama and the liberals in Congress are now proposing; I wonder how much money he took from the Insurance companies to put that into his health care "reform" plan) or forcing people to participate in the Social Security and Medicare ponzi schemes, how about we allow personal choice instead?

How can anybody be so anti-democratic as to oppose my right to make my own choices rather than being forced into a 1-size-fits-all government program?

VOTE FOR ME FOR PRESIDENT!?

voluntary tax system

McCain vs. Obama? Are you kidding me?
McCain should be a greeter at Wal-Mart.
And Obama should be out stealin’ hubcaps.

Want REAL change? Write ME in.
Here’s my Platform:

ENERGY: Drill everywhere in America where there might be oil. Even if it means right thru the nest of a spotted owl. The environmentalists can use THEIR OWN property for wildlife sanctuaries.

MILITARY: The American Armed Forces are for defending AMERICA. Immediate withdraw from Iraq. And Afghanistan. And Egypt. And Germany, Japan, Korea, Veit Nam, and all the other 140 some countries where American troops are stationed.

DEFENSE: Someone from your country attacks us? Turn them over within 24 hours, or your country is no longer eligible to share the planet with us, and will be erased.

WELFARE: Sorry. It’s gone. If you are truly needy, appeal to local charities. If you just have an aversion to working for a living, then choose: either get a job, or starve.

SOCIAL SECURITY: What you saved during your working life, that’s what you get to retire on. You don’t get to take your retirement money from the younger generation of workers.

BAIL-OUTS: Gone. No matter how big or how important you think your company is, if it goes bankrupt, it gets sold off in pieces, just like any other company that goes bankrupt.

INCOME TAXES: the IRS is gone. The tax code is an embarrassment. It will be replaced with a truly VOLUNTARY tax system, befitting of a free country. Each year, congress prepares a detailed, itemized report of what it spent. Using census data, the total amount spent is divided equally among all of the people living in America. Each household is then sent an invoice with how much was spent per-person. If they want congress to make the exact same expenditures next year, they send in the amount shown on the invoice, multiplied by the number of people in their household. If they want more spent on certain programs, they say which programs, and send in more money. If they want less spent on certain programs, they say which programs, and send in less money. How ever much money congress gets, THAT’S how much they can spend next year.

PROPERTY TAXES: Gone. Local governments are no longer allowed to play trailer-park manager, charging residents "lot rent" on property that the residents OWN.

BUSINESS TAXES: Gone. Hate to break this to you, but businesses don’t pay taxes now. They never have. They CAN’T. Only people pay taxes. When businesses are taxed, the tax becomes a cost of doing business, just like utilities, or payroll. It’s added in to the cost of the products or services they sell.

ESTATE TAXES: Gone. You’d think that grave robbing would be so repulsive that even politicians wouldn’t have to be told not to do it.

DRUG WAR: It’s over. ALL drugs are now legal, for consenting adults. Think certain drugs are bad? DON’T USE THEM. But keep your nose outta other people’s beezwax.

SEX: All sex is legal, between consenting adults. Don’t like gay marriage? Then DON’T MARRY A GAY PERSON. Don’t like prostitution? Then DON’T HIRE A HOOKER. But leave everybody else alone, to do what they want.

OATH OF OFFICE: All of these positions are 100% compatible with the US Constitution, which those elected to office are required to take an oath to uphold. Anyone who violates that oath is to be removed from office immediately, and tried for treason. Anyone who makes campaign promises to violate that oath, is no longer eligible to hold office. Anyone who votes for someone who has said they will violate the constitution, must be deported. For every American deported, one new legal immigrant can be sworn in.

Soooooooooo, ME FOR PRESIDENT, 2008.
Be sure to write me in!!!!

Wow. Two answers so far that say "we’d go bankrupt"? HELLLOOOO. We ARE bankrupt! Know what ya gotta do when you’re bankrupt? QUIT SPENDING LIKE A DRUNKEN SAILOR.
Er, HELLO.
There was a time in this country when drugs WERE legal (What ingredient do you think Coca Cola was named after? I’ll give you a hint: Anybody could buy it, over the counter, in any drug store in America).
And there was also a time in this country when we got along just fine without ANY income tax, property tax, estate tax, or business tax.
Why do you people just assume that the gov’t has the right to confiscate your money, and tell you what to do?
Are you slaves? or were you born free?

Why does Obama want to raise the payroll tax and capital gains tax if it will significantly affect the?

payroll tax rates

middle class?

In 2005, 47% of all tax returns reporting capital gains were from households with incomes below ,000, and 79% came from households with incomes below 0,000.

By the way, a higher capital gains tax rate isn’t the only middle-class tax increase that Mr. Obama is proposing. He also wants to lift the cap on wages subject to the payroll tax. That cap was ,500 in 2007 and is 2,000 this year. "Those are a heck of a lot of people between ,000 and 0[,000] and 0,000," said Mr. Gibson. "If you raise the payroll taxes, that’s going to raise taxes on them." Ignoring the no-tax pledge he had made five minutes earlier, Mr. Obama explained that such a tax increase was nevertheless necessary.

That’s 100 million Americans will be affected by the increase in capital gains tax, most of them middle class.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120847505709424727.html?mod=opinion_main_review_and_outlooks

Obama wants to raise it 28%, from its current rate of 15%, while Hillary said that if she was going to raise it, she would only raise it to 20%.
Don’t you understand, the US receives more tax reserves when they decrease the capital tax rate.

Harry Reid: Paying income tax in America is Voluntary


voluntary tax

Harry Reid explains how/why paying taxes is voluntary.

Why do Obama-bots say those making > $250,000 will only pay 3% more when there’ll be no more payroll tax cap?

payroll tax rates

In other words, there marginal income tax rates of 33% and 35% will go up to 36% and 38%, respectively.

PLUS, on social security (the "payroll" tax, which the government originally sold as "insurance" even though it gets minimal, sometimes negative, growth) Obama wants to lift the INCOME CAP (currently at 2,000); SO, those making > 0,000 (including many small businesses running as Subchapter S corporations) will pay an ADDITIONAL *6.2%* (out of the 7.65% payroll tax, 19% [the 1.45% rate] is for Medicare & the other 81% of it [at the 6.2% rate] is actually social security).

Therefore, again, ON TOP OF THEIR ALREADY HIGH TAX RATES, THEY’LL HAVE TO PAY 9.2% EXTRA ON EVERYTHING OVER 0,000.
