US economy going down the toilet

[Fish Room Plus]

the top 1% are so rich they dont work, which means no income and nothing to tax

The rich have no income, are you for real

Voss, the top 1% richest Americans pay nearly have of all taxes. The top 50% pay over 95% of taxes. How is that fair?

For the record, Im poor. I can just see the flaw in the whole "the rich dont pay" argument the dems use to get votes.

Not to mention if you look across the world, the amount our "rich" pay in taxes is right at the top.

Its great for us. I can now buy for example, an AC120 HOB filter for 40 bucks and have it shipped for 50 bucks, and save $110 overall.

I love this because the dollar is low, so foreigners (sp) spend their money here instead of in thier own contries, which really just fixes and boosts our economy and hurts theirs. Yay

I do research and find out the best ways as a citizen to vote so that the proper people can put the proper legislation in place to help fix the "problem".[/QUOTE]

Hmmmm! legislation? at what level City, State, Federal? Could you give me some examples of how that would work? What problem is the root cause?

I was always under the impression that excessive Fed Govt legislation causes more problems...

While I could argue with your "impression", I won't because I agree. I may have just stated my opinon a little different than intended. I also do not think that "more" legislation would equal a beeter out come. That is unless the legislation is on less expansion and spending of our govt. In that case I would agree with more legislation.
