I'll be working hard to get Bob Snelling elected as well. If Whitey wants to work for Kimberly, that's fine. You know where I'll be about every Saturday Bob needs me. Yea, a lot of crossover for Perdue, still think Kingston was the best man for the job, but I will also work to make sure Michelle Nunn stays home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

gpatt0n Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I will be campaigning for Kimberly Alexander, The fair tax that Mr. Snelling is spewing out will be the same as taxing my Social Security My goodness, you're right on this one Whitey! ... The idea of sales/consumption taxes are aimed at taxing those with the least while letting those who are the wealthiest avoid taxes. How? The poor have to spend every cent they get on the necessities and so are taxed at lets say 7 percent of their entire income while the wealthy, who spend but a tenth of their incomes on consumables, end up paying less than a percent of their incomes on taxes. It is the exact opposite of the progressive income tax and it is why sales taxes are by definition regressive and impact the less fortunate. K.V. you are ALWAYS making IDIOTIC comments...Do you EVER have a rational thought? I realize you are held back in your thinking by your UNION mentality background BUT if you don't know about something...PLEASE JUST SHUT UP!!!! The FAIR TAX is the absolute best thing we could EVER implement to get rid of the I.R.S. and it will in NO WAY effect your Social Security...That is Democratic BS... CPR ... now you're being absolutely abusive ... and I'll be the arbiter of who is asked to shut up. The fair tax is the absolute worst thing we could ever implement and while it is a very conservative, republican approach - it has the support of those folks because regressive taxes, particularly consumption taxes, are for the wealthy optional taxes. Only those who spend all they earn on taxes have no option as to payment but the wealthy, because there is no requirement to replace the two year old car or install a new living room suite - they bought good quality furniture before the fair tax upped the ante - can choose to delay their purchases. I've felt this regressive tax system is absurd from a policy standpoint on both the state and federal levels. Take this for instance; assume the time is again 2000 and there is a move to take the St. Andrews Cross from the flag because of its racial connotations and all of a sudden, the ten percent of wealthy people boycott optional purchase forcing the curtailment of state programs under threat of boycott. The point is that while sales taxes are a legitimate tax, the level of taxation needed to convert all taxation to this type of consumption tax would distort and jeopardize the smooth and reasonable collection of revenues for the operations of government. To suggest anyone that opposes this most idiotic, unfair and inappropriate form of taxation as an idiot takes the cake. I mean even naming it the fair tax is an exercise in hypocrisy that should damn anyone uttering the name without disdain to fires of hades. pubby Link to post Share on other sites

You are always spouting off about something that you know absolutely nothing about. Fact is for a large majority of social security recipients they pay no federal or state taxes on the benefits received,, The consumption tax is paid on what you spend so yes I will pay taxes on my Social Security Benefits if I spend that money And BTW no one paid Taxes on Social Security benefits until Ronald Regan Signed that into law. You are just letting your mouth spew out lies before you put your brain into gear, Of course you knew this but you had rather embellish your position with a bunch of lies....... Seriously CPR speak the truth when you type something here it can never be recalled it is out there for ever. And it really shows just how stupid you are 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CitizenCain Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 So retired people now living on fixed incomes, who paid taxes all their lives, paid the tax when they cashed in their 401k's and are now just trying to get by are suppose to get excited at paying 28% sales tax ? Maybe a great idea if you're rich and putting away most of your salary in the bank, not so great if all you can afford is your over priced prescriptions and a loaf of bread. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The progressive income tax is by its very nature unfair. Not class warfare Jim. .just factual information the state and Feds do not tax certain portions of the Social Security benefit presently. The so called fair tax will tax Social Security when you purchase something. I am willing to listen to you explain how this is class warfare, Please do explain.. Link to post Share on other sites
tundra Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Whitey, there will be exceptions for those on fixed incomes, such as Social Security. Kind of like getting your senior discount at Kroger or Baby Janes. It will just require verification. Edited August 2, 2014 by tundra Link to post Share on other sites
jim64 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 There will be exceptions as Tundra mentioned for people on fixed incomes, pensions etc. Depending on your income level you should come out about the same. As for the class warfare I was referring to Pubby's attacking those that have worked hard and made something of themselves and condemning people that disagrees with him to Hades. When you can’t win on the facts you condemn. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

From my stand point I am perfectly satisfied with the state income tax like it is. Heck it is the SPLOST taxes that need to go away. Boyd Austin uses the SPLOST taxes to build sidewalks to nowhere and the city roads are full of pot holes WTH is going in in Dallas? Link to post Share on other sites

The voters clearly spoke against the expansion during the recent primary season. My tendency is to go with the voters who will be most impacted by those kinds of decisions therefore I oppose it but I'll have no influence on that decision in the legislature.

Sitting in the BOC meeting and watching him attack and yes I mean ATTACK David and the others was embarrassing and with media in the room from 46, the AJC, MDJ and others you just know it going to end up on the news. This is how anyone watching the news thinks Paulding County people are! It's like whenever there is a tornado and they always find the some goofy looking woman in curlers or some ole boy in overalls standing in a trailer park talking bout it that you can't understand! Paulding County is home to over 147,000 people now...MOST educated!!! The impression K.V. leaves with people is HORRIBLE!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
