[quote name='whodey319' date='Jun 2 2005, 11:04 AM']so all of you guys saying that taxes should look like this:
49 % (for those with an income above 5 million a yr
40 % (1 million-4.99 million a year)
33% (500,000-1 million a year)
20 % (150,000-499,00 a yr)
10 % (25,000 - 149,000 a yr)
1 % Under 25,000

or

45 % (for those with an income above 5 million a yr
37 % (1 million-4.99 million a year)
32% (500,000-1 million a year)
20 % (150,000-499,00 a yr)
15 % (25,000 - 149,000 a yr)
5% Under 25,000
want to raise the tax level to a point where people with a high income lose almost half their money?  That makes no sense and will never happen.

BJ, your logic is retarded here.  Someone making 4.99 million would have a take home income of 2.994 and a person making 5.75 million would have a take home income of 2.933.

The tax rates now are very reasonable and actually make sense.

Don't be a douche`, this a hypothetical thread, why don't you give your opinion instead of calling someone retarded?


What would you do if you were president..


I would:
-Legalize all drugs, the illegal ones aren't much worse than the legal ones we have today..
-Reform education, like Cat and BJ, the public school system is the key to getting people off of government assistance and getting good jobs..Unfornately most public city schools are more like prisons than colleges..
-Influence other nations to forgive the "debt" African nations have with them..
-Heavily tax companies that outsource jobs, I like Cats idea for the name of the bill

I'll post more later..

didnt call him retarded you dumb piece of shit (hows that for name calling?) why dont you try and read what i said instead of being a loud mouth fucking liberal that just tries to yell and name call instead of looking at written facts.

I said his idea was retarded and did not say one personal thing about him and showed why that tax situation is bad using actual facts.

dont know who said it but i cant find it now but why would you want to say any degree or education you get at a private school doesnt count and all education should be public. I went to a private grade school and high school and i guarantee i got a better education than if i had gone to public school. The curriculum is harder and there is a lot more discipline in the school. My fiance went to both and i have family members that have gone to each. The greater cincinnati area has a very high number of people going to private schools.

thats what im talking about. Higher standards and when i was in school if you acted up the teacher would grab your arm and drag you down the hall to the principals office. And if you were really bad they would just expell you because if they dont want you there they dont have to have you there.

You just contradicted yourself.


BJ, when you become president, let me be on your cabinet, please. We see eye to eye on just about everything

How did I contradict myself? I would leave abortion to the states, but that particular method would be illegal.

For example, some states have a death penalty, but none are allowed to use means that are cruel and unusual. Same thing.

Or, maybe you are right. On my own principles, all abortion would be illegal, except in the case of a tubal pregnancy.

I want to be that mad looking motherfucker inbetween the gay guy and the girl who hasn't had any to drink yet.

Oh, and if I were president, I would make Church property taxable and subject to paying heat/gas/electric (which, suprisingly, they aren't required to do).
I would also pay off the national debt in 10 years by subsidizing ALL telephone companies and making them Government property.
I would also return farms into the hands of the farmers, and break up consolidated Agro-Industries. Obviously, I would legalize Hemp, increase taxes on casinos, and make education (e.g. the LONG TERM) my main priority.

I would also make it illegal for mortage companies to increase rates in poor communities, but require everyone on my newly expanded welfare system to report to a gov't agency once every six months for a physical and job distributions (there will be plenty of new jobs created by the Gov't for things like weapons manufacturing and conservation acts, things currently being done by private groups).

State controlled limits on insurance levels, including a tripling on mandatory insurancing for vehicles that got less than 25 Miles Per Gallon.

I would severely tighten legislation to protect the environment and prevent harm done to the Earth by Companies , and I would also quadruple tariffs on goods imported by foreign companies that did not follow similar laws, to prevent national industries from leaving.

Any Senators, Legislators, or Politicians on a Federal level who were found to be receiving money/benefits from outside groups would have to forfeit that money immediately or be subject to an investigation.

I would split Alaska into two, and let the Hawai'i go out on its own, but with the stipulation that it had to operate as a sovereign nation, and not as Japanese or Australian property.

I would also maintain an alliance with Israel, but would stop sending them inordinate amounts of money and supplies. I would create a bargaining group for Middle East Peace that did NOT revolve around oil.

I would push and pass the Equal Rights Ammendment, or a modified version thereof.


I would also create the Kingfish Center for Progressive and Creative Thought (KCPACT), a Gov't body designed to take money from BJ's taxes on the wealthy and put it into revitalizing our highways, bridges, and public care centers (ending toll roads forever, for example)

The point is instead telling him something doesn't make sense post YOUR OWN FUCKING IDEA :rolleyes: ,

[quote]BJ, your logic is retarded here[/quote]

besides callling his logic retard is basically the samething, imo..But you have yet post any ideas, like I said

[quote]this a hypothetical thread, why don't you give your opinion instead[/quote]

half the stuff BJ posted is very unlikely to ever happen to single out one idea and say his logic is retarded is well... [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons//30.gif[/img]

But I digress, I also love 12th's suggestion about teaching investment as course in school along with Math, Science, ....Immigrants are able to come to America and build wealth because they understand how to..If we were able to teach our poor to build wealth then who would put the "capitialize" in capitialism?

I like the freeing the non-violate drug offenders, but private prisons is a billion dollar industry and keeps many small towns afloat...

OK, kill all brown-skinned people in 3rd world countries in order to "liberate" them AND keep a stable of fine-ass concubines waiting in the Oval Office...that's what I'd do....plus I'd smoke unlimited amounts of the purest crack cocaine the DEA had to offer...I'd be a rockstar President of the people....

Man, after reading this thread, I may have to start taking my CCW into PBS because of some of you wackos!!!

J/K!!!

In all seriousness, I think I'd stick with Jason in this election. Is there really that big of a push in the rest of you to legalize pot and other drugs? I've never done any illegal drugs of any kind, but I've been around plenty of people who have, and it never really appealed to me. . Oh well, different strokes.

Jason, I've got a pretty face - do you wanne be the vice, and I'll be the man in front? Let's see if the Go-Bengals guys will put some Paypal donations together for the 08' primaries!

Keith
