Schieffer interviews Paul Ryan, tries to back him into a corner and fails.... I can't embed the video (it's locked) so you will have to go to YouTube to view it.
Now since some of you have had a chance to read the article lets take it slightly further. What it didn't say is that somewhere between 40 and 50% of the people in this country pay "NO" taxes whatsoever.... In fact I've seen some reports that some people have gotten a refund check, even when they didn't even have any taxes "WITHHELD" from their paychecks to start with....
So do you all think it's fair that many people don't pay any taxes????? Would you like to see that change????? The solution is easy.....Does anybody have a guess on what kind of tax would solve the problem?????

Of course not, and yes, SOME parasites actually get an unearned check from the governmentthe Taxpayers for being lazy, socialist-voting slobs.

A "Parasite Tax"?
:-)
What did you have in mind?
Frankly, there ought to be 'Workfare' problems that address public works as in the 1930s - the hell with peoples' "esteem" and the socialist-Dems' characterization of it as "degrading" and "slave-like."
It's already been proposed, and the Left lies it's ass off as to it's intent and effectiveness..... It's called a consumption tax, you get taxed on what you buy not what you earn.. The more you buy the more you pay, very simple concept.... Just not good for the politicians, nothing to lie about to their constituents.. A good part about it is those on Welfare would be paying some of what they get in freebies back to the government in the way of taxes, in essence paying for themselves somewhat......

A VAT Tax?
Not a bad idea...IF only it wouldn't wind up as an additional tax on top of a state sales tax.
It would actually be better for the goob and politicians because it'd be even more money and wealth to confiscate and "spread around."
No, a consumption tax... You do away with the current tax system and go to a consumption tax.... A VAT tax would only be on top of what we presently have and would be in essence a tax increase.....
A VAT is not a tax on sales. It's a tax on production. Some countries do refund the VAT when products are exported, which makes it more like a sales tax. However a real sales tax would tax imports in the same way that domestically produced products are taxed -- when they are purchased. The VAT doesn't do this.
