Guess what, you ignorant dips? http://actuallyyourethe47percent.tumblr.com/ |
You're missing the point, for one. Two, you picked the wrong person to tell they don't know about paying taxes, I own a small business. Might not be a fortune 500 company, but I've had over 20 people on my payroll at one time. So don't even begin to tell me about what you think I know or don't know, especially when it comes to paying taxes. Please don't get me started.
There's a lot of things I'm unhappy with. My unemployment insurance premium went up 8% to cover an extension for the unemployed. My answer to that is "if you pay people to not work, they won't". Want to help them get jobs? Quit cutting the checks, trust me, they'll look harder.
Health insurance, bailouts, economics, sure a lot of things suck right now. But don't blame 1% of the population for all of it. There are many other factors.

So, I delegate my further input on this matter to Sailor Steve's forum signature!  (no, really, it's getting at exactly my problem with this whole % thing) |
See that's the point. The 99% who claim to be representing 99% of the population, aren't. The 53% group are there to tell them don't speak for me (us) because I've worked my ass off to get to where I am and I don't blame anyone for it. Don't blame your lot in life on the 1%. Times are tough, life sucks, drive on.

I think you just made that up, cause I read it was more like 78%.
