You don't understand that He's given more than He's taken....where is your god now?
You don't understand that He's given more than He's taken.
Just pointing out that if you say you make jack shit compared to them and you are paying in the 20's then you are bringing home over $150k+ a year(assuming you are single) in order to be paying this much. I would consider $150k+ a year for a single person respectable income. Unless you are just overestimating what your actual income tax rate you where paying so you can try to make some point against Obama.
I know you are highly ignorant but Ron Paul was FORCED to pay into SS.
He's not being FORCED to take it though, is he?
I liked Ron Paul for being a principled man and fighting the fight (even though I disagree with a lot of his policies). However, last time I checked Ron Paul isn't in government anymore and we can look at what he DID, but who is taking his place? Who is following his lead? Of the thousands of politicians you mean to tell me you guys only have one guy that follows through with his convictions despite what the law is?
So we have Obama who is doing more than any other politician in terms of following through with his convictions but it's not good enough? Kick the only guy trying? That makes sense.
100% or nothing right? Black or white, right? Do you guys meet your own standards or is your cop out that you aren't a politician?
All I see are hypocrites who think their shit don't smell even though they are full if shit.
You can be against something and still draw from it, if he had had a choice he would have never contributed. Not many people actually hold that against folks like Paul, he was forced to contribute to a system he disagrees with and because of his beliefs you think he is being a hypocrite for taking back what is rightfully his. Given his career and income I'd imagine he wouldn't even break even.
They are millionaires. I am not. I do make jack shit compared to them.
There is a difference between net worth and bringing in over 1 million a year in income. So Obama made around 1/2 Million last year and you made at least $150k ( to be paying a 20% or higher Federal income tax rate) and you are saying you make jack shit compared to them? Unless your story about paying a federal income tax rate of in the 20's last year is just BS.
Last year was the first time in a while they didn't make $1M plus.
Stop trying to call bullshit, it isn't working. You have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to my finances. I do.
Why did he take those deductions? He's been rallying to eliminate them. He could have simply not taken the deductions.
Pure hypocrite.
I love people who jump into a thread with 90-odd posts and don't read any of the previous posts.
Especially when their contributions are so ... enlightening.
So why did he take the deductions when he's been saying he shouldn't?
I've read it.
Why did he take deductions he seeks to eliminate? He didn't have to.
That's pure fuckstain hypocrisy.

That's pure fuckstain hypocrisy.
I'm not surprised.
Nah. Hypocrisy is spewing anti-gubmint anti-tax bullshit while you enjoy the benefits of your spouse having a fat public sector job...
That's the definition of hypocrisy.
