doingmybest-"No different than liberals blaming everything bad on the upper class. So we have two extremes and not enough middle of the road sensible people to put an end to the senseless bickering. So we all lose."

Some liberals do blame the rich. That's true. But i don't understand people from the middle class agreeing with "their party" (or team) that they should pay more so that the rich can pay less. Is it that important that your side wins so that you end up voting against your best interests? With a progressive tax system, the rich can and do pay a bit more of a percentage and still have plenty of income left for luxury.

"Conservatives don't. It's a kind of reverse robin hood ideology. Blame everything bad on the poor and middle class, constantly call them "takers" or the 47%, and insist they pay more so that the rich can pay less in taxes." PC

No different than liberals blaming everything bad on the upper class. So we have two extremes and not enough middle of the road sensible people to put an end to the senseless bickering. So we all lose.

"I would expect poor people living on the state lines cross those lines for groceries and services such as hair cuts."

Exactly, but is sounds so much better when placing the attack on the "so called rich". Because they never ever pay their fair share. It is so unfair.

Hey, when your own governor packs up and leaves (No mas!) mid-term, exhaust fumes filled the vacuum. As the saying goes, we get the government we deserve. Thank you, Ms. Perdue.

In a state, truly unrivaled for beauty from Carolina Beach to the Blue Ridge, please find a balance between compassion for the less fortunate and those to whom much has been given. I think there's an applicable verse in one of the many spiritual traditions.

If I were elected, I'd get rid of property taxes on one's primary residence. That is the worst tax in the world. It does not matter if you are employed or not... The government wants you to pay. We'd throw the elderly on the street over property taxes.

Income taxes are reasonable. They don't have to be complex. Just tax at a given percent and be done with it. The income tax Ida's actually the most reasonable tax. If you make money, you pay a percentage to the government. If no salary, no tax.
