ORIGINAL: DesideriScuri quote:
ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Why is this such a big deal to you? You know he meant "Federal Income Taxes." You know he fucked up and didn't use the word "Income," even though you know he meant that. Would you have gone on and on and on if he had? Sometimes I think you would. And, no, there is no one out there that doesn't pay taxes. There are those who do not have a Federal Income tax liability; nearly half of all taxpayers. Oddly enough, it seems to have been ignored that the number of people not having a Federal Income Tax liability increased while Bush was in office and those at the top of the income charts ended up with a larger share of the Federal Income Tax burden. No, I dont know what he meant. You would be surprised at how many people believe the only federal tax people pay is income tax. Im glad you can read his mind. I refuse to. Lookie happens to be an articulate person most times. Why should I insult his intelligence by suggesting what he meant? First time I asked..... http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4232288 The first time you asked was Post#83. Yet, in Post#81, Lookie made these assumptions: quote:
How do you get to a place where everyone pays an "appropriate" share? Shouldn't everyone pay an appropriate share? Set aside SSI and unemployment, L&I coverage.....shouldn't everyone pay something? As an interpretation, that means Federal Income Taxes are left on the table. In questioning whether everyone should pay something, Lookie was specifically talking about Income taxes. quote:
Second time I asked.... quote:

ORIGINAL: LookieNoNookie quote:
ORIGINAL: tazzygirl Come up with someone who pays zero taxes. People with 3 kids, making 30K a year. 3 kids... and they pay zero taxes? You really want to stick by that statement? http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4232451 Someone else pointed out his error... http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4232501 Lookie's response... quote:

Set aside SSI and unemployment, L&I coverage.....shouldn't everyone pay something? http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4232504 He was told income tax was different than zero taxes... Yep. He quoted his Post#81 defining what he was talking about. So, MM's question in Post#90 was moot because that was already addressed in Post#81. quote:
quote:
You know damn well he was talking about Federal income taxes. Damn. And, yes, there are a shit ton of people who pay no Federal income taxes. http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4232909 And then you, in your infinite wisdom, after Music pointed out his error and he ignored it, decided you would rescue him. He isnt intelligent enough to know his wording was wrong before you came along? It isn't my "infinite wisdom" (thanks for the compliment, though) that lead me to his "rescue." He didn't need to be "rescued." He spelled out that he was ignoring other taxes. You took his statement that everyone should pay something as people aren't paying taxes somewhere. You questioned him, but never he had defined his "paying taxes" as "paying income taxes," so your question was about "income taxes" accordingly. And, my interpretation was even confirmed. Yet, you go on and on, even when Lookie specifically addressed your concern in Post#107. Then, he messed it up again in Post#109, clarified in Post#110 after which I got a good laugh (Post#111). Then, in Post#112 (3.5 hours after Post#110 where he clarified that he was talking Income taxes), you blast him yet again. How is it you can't grasp that he was talking about only Federal "Income" taxes. At this point, I think you should let the whole "Federal Tax" vs. "Federal Income Tax" thing go, on this thread. You're right that there are more Federal taxes than simply the income tax. You corrected me on that, and rightly so. I'm much more specific (though I do reserve the right to fuck it up again) (and again, etc.) now, which is why I jumped in, and, in your words, "rescued" Lookie.
