Question

Why do Conservatives go nuts if you raise one tax on one rich person?

Answer 1

Let me ask you a question, Why is it that Liberals want to penalize those who either attempt to succeed or do succeed? Now for your question. I don't think its all about taxing the rich as it is, why they are taxing the rich. For example is the tax increase for one more failed social program? or one more slush fund? or is it to help with our budget and the middle class. As a matter of fact, I don't believe the Liberals have any program for the middle class except punishment and higher taxes. Do you care to rebut anyone?

Answer 2

Because we understand the BIG PICTURE. What you do to one person, can then be done to ALL.

Our FUNDAMENTAL BELIEFS tell us that America supports success, not punishes it.

I am NOT rich.... but I am avidly opposed to taxing some one more "simply because they can afford it".   They played by the rules, they made their fortune.... it's THEIRS, not yours... and the Socialists have no right to try to take it from them.

Conservatives are people of PRINCIPAL... something Liberals change on a daily basis (sad to say).

Answer 3

Why dont poor people help pay those taxes instead of pushing it all on those who earn a living?

Answer 4

Class warfare is unethical, immoral, and unamerican. The government's duty is to treat every citizen equally. Taking money from one citizen based on an arbitrary number defined as "rich" to give to another citizen is completely contrary to the principles of freedom and liberty in the Constitution.

Stealing is stealing, no matter the intentions and no matter the name.

Answer 5

because it isn't just the rich! get real.some day when you grow up and after working your whole life.you may want to retire without obama being in your bank account at around 50% of your retirement.even a leech quits sucking your blood when your dead.obama supports the death tax!

Answer 6

The people who control businesses, supply jobs, own small businesses, and work huge numbers of hours are also the ones paying nearly all the taxes now. Another thing you don't seem to grasp, is that when business expenses go up, and taxes are expenses, that causes the product or service to go up as well. It means, you pay it, not them. Liberals don't seem to understand basic economics.

Answer 7

Because your taking that persons hard earned money....its like fining that person because there wealthy its not fair

Answer 8

I guess if our government didn't waste money as much as they do, I would be far more open to a tax adjustment.  But they spend like drunken sailors and expect to just tap a new vein when they need more.  Enough is enough.  

Answer 9

"Rich" people already pay a majority of the taxes.

Answer 10

taxes on the "rich" only propogate unemployment and company failure!

Answer 11

Why should we pay people to be poor, and penalize people who work?

Stay in school, stay sober, keep your pants on, and get a job...It's easy.
