the middle-class not enough? Why do working class Republicans call it Socialism if taxes on the rich are raise, but their taxes stay the same or are decreased?

Do they actually want their own taxes increased so the rich pay less?

Don't answer with Rush Limbaugh buzz words like "class envy" or "class warfare".

Don't say that the rich are more productive. Who contributes more to society, a janitor or a day-trader?
 
We think EVERYBODY pays too much taxes. EVERYBODY'S taxes should be lowered. Get your crap straight and start listening to what we are saying Einstein.
 
Hey moron, guess what Cap and Trade is? It's a tax on everybody! Hey, guess what socialized health care is? It's a tax on everybody! Hey, guess what the VAT tax is? It's a consumption tax you never see on all products and goods that applies to everybody! Buy a soda, candy bar? It's a tax on everybody that buys one if our Apology in Thief has his way.

How many poor and middle class Americans create jobs in this country?

Very few compared to the rich.

I despise class envy and it's outright thievery to punish people for managing their money well.
 
Huh? Most conservatives I know don't like taxes but realize it is a needed evil to run the government and do not complain regarding the welfare of the country, but do have a major problem with "sharing the wealth" Why do you feel that a person that has worked hard and earned money should be required to give it up to support bums?
 
We do not like a taxes going to people who do not produce anything. Who contributes more to society, a teacher, like me, or a welfare recipient?

BTW. I have two brothers that work in agriculture; one is a farmer, the other is a rancher. Both have a gross income of over $250,000, as they own their own property. Are they rich and deserve to be gouged? That is why they are Republicans.
 
i'm a middle class conservative and YES the rich do pay a very unfair level of taxes (90% of all government revenue). However, I have NEVER complained that i pay too little. My taxes are too high as well.
 
I have never heard a conservative say the middle class do not pay enough in taxes. Perhaps you could provide your source for this claim.

Conservatives oppose progressive taxation generally, as a punishment for success. We believe it is counter-productive to encouraging the highest good from the individual. Our political perspective is not based on our personal situation, it is based on sound economic principle.

As to your final question, if there are no buildings, there is nothing for janitors to clean. So, the most productive are those who provide buildings which house jobs, or business owners.
 
I find the whole thing quite appalling. 100% crazy, that ludicrous concept of taxing the rich (working-class) and distribute the wealth too Lord knows who. Hurricane Katrina taught me a very valuable lesson about class. I can still see those dear dirt poor white and black folks wasting away on that bridge to nowhere.

decent law-abiding people living in Third World conditions surrounded on all sides by a multibillion-dollar oil industry. A great wealth which they obviously did not share in. How can Rush a self-made millionaire address something that he himself is part of? makes no difference if your a, Republican, Democrat or socialist for one fact is and also will be abundantly clear, there is no lack of class criticism from the right or the left.
