is it a good idea to raise more taxes from like 50 to 100 thousand $ earners so we can give ppl more help? we r gonna raise the high income taxes back pretty soon to help the middle class. they dont get the option of donatin it or nothin the govt just gonna say 'no middle class (our voters) r more important than rich' n frame it like its some nice n necessary thing but if thats how we feel n make the rich out to be greedy, shoudl we apply the same mandatory relief increases for the lower class who usualy dont vote?
or is it not bout principles n just bout 1 way hipocracy where the middle class can say 'rich r greedy n should give more, but.... well its different for us compared to homeless, thats totally different. bc i dont wanna give my money away. its only the rich that r greedy'
what u think?
Um, depending on what part of the country you're in, you're not living an extravagant life if a family's income is 50-60k.
But I'd rather spend some federal money fixing our problems than creating problems in other countries, that's for sure.

I make about $20,000 and I'm doing fine.
I do with my parents, however. That's the only struggle.

well damn if u alrdy got a place to live and u makin 20,000 witout havin to pay rent, u definitely should pay higher taxes to help the homeless man. if someone who make 500,000 has to pay more to help some1 makin 85,000, u got the same advantage by comparison on someone makin 100 bucks a year inchange at most. so why the inconsitnency?
I'm 99.9% sure he's a guy.
oh lol well i thought it was a chick cuz of the pic underneath his name, i guess the guy wit the alonzo pic aint really alonzo mourning tho either haha

Re: Why dont america do more for the homelss?
May as well. The taxes that are raised mainly go to the rich who write the laws for congress and the president to pass and sign in, anyways.

I grew up in a house in that income bracket. Both my parents are teachers and were making a combined $70K-$90K most of my life. They've been teaching long enough now that they're both making $50K+ a year but when I was younger and they were making a combined $50K-$60K money got really tight once or twice a month when certain bills had to be paid.
It does help we live in Arkansas where the cost of living is really cheap compared to a lot of other places in the country.

There's no way you have a steady job, a kid, and pay taxes.

Re: Why dont america do more for the homelss?
why can't said homeless man get a job?
He was provided a free public education in the greatest nation on earth. He has access to all kind of free government aid as it is.
He knew the laws before he was incarcerated. He had a chance to learn. He can receive more than enough food stamps or welfare to live. If he gets off his ass and walks to the public administration building.
Middle class is working hard enough to provide the luxuries of hard work to their kids and instill that work effort into them. They need not carry anymore of a tax load. We all need less taxes and more work ethic. Government can't fix shit, the people have to.
