John Mccain "40% of americans dont pay tax at all"

Anyone hear this rich scumbag say this, I mean everything we buy we pay taxes, I paid 1000$ in tax just buying a car, every game you give the country about 4$, yet this guy thinks 40% dont pay taxes, I guess its easy to talk when your wife has a 150k outfit, your thoughts??

He was talking about income tax. And to think people like you are actually voting for our next president...bungie93

you get a certain amount tax free, then above a certain amount you pay one percentage, then above the next boundry you pay a higher percentage

And just to let you now, Obama's income was over $5 million last year, so don't let him fool you into thinking that he understands the financial situation of the average American.bungie93

They don't pay because their incomes are so low that it would be unjust to force them to pay taxes. We use a graduated income tax, so people who make more pay a greater percent of their income to the government. In fact, the top 25% of income owners pay over 86% of total income taxes.

everyone pays income tax.

also, you forget how much of the total wealth that top quarter has. I'd be surprised if it weren't more than 86%. the greater percent thing is true to not so much of an extent anyway.

not everyone pays income tax, over here you get $12000 untaxed

John McCain just does not get it.

everyone pays income tax.

quiglythegreat

Not exactly. Everyone who works pays income tax. So, that statement from McCain implies that 40% of Americans are unemployed. Since these types of stats usually don't involve kids, I'd say that the statement is probably inaccurate. I only said probably because I couldn't think of anything else to put there that wouldn't seem too drastic.

Bungie just likes to watch little children suffer in the street and go hungry. He just doesn't feel good about himself unless others are hurting.

Besides, what kind of pathetic baby eater would call a man with "one" house a rich elitist, while the guy who can't even remember how many houses he owns is the common Joe? Just for the record, Obama and his wife did not even pay off their college loans until after Barrak got the revenue bump on his book after his 2004 convention speech.

Lets see, if one loses a house he is homeless, if another losses a house, he has 6 to 8 more, I wonder who understands my situation better.

It's funny you bring up "baby eater", because Obama did vote to support late term abortions.

no it just means McCain pulled that number out of his saggy ass

Guys, McCain is right.

During 2006,Tax Foundation economists estimate that roughly 43.4 million tax returns, representing 91 million individuals, will face a zero or negative tax liability.That's out of a total of 136 million federal tax returns that will be filed. Adding to this figure the 15 million households and individuals who file no tax return at all, roughly 121 million Americans—or 41 percent of the U.S. population—will be completely outside the federal income tax system in 2006. This total includes those who pay no tax, and those who pay some tax up front and are later refunded the full amount of the tax paid or more.

Research is a godsend. But hey, let's all assume McCain is lying/crazy.

He voted for abortion? So. Making abortion in America illegal will only keep poor people from getting them. Republicans only want to make abortion illegal so poor people cannot get them.

If poor people can't get abortions, it guarantees that more and more poor people at the bottom of the scale will be born with no chance at a future. These future-less individuals are crucial to the Republican way of life, they are needed to step on, for cleaning their houses, serving their food, etc...

Making abortion illegal would have no effect on me or my ability to provide one for my wife/girlfriend/daughter, because I can afford to send my wife/girlfriend/daughter to Canada will it will always be legal.

As always, Republicans like to use a false moral argument to make sure poor people don't have access to the same services they enjoy.

Republicans only want abortion illegal in the U.S. so they can keep a constant stream of poor people being born to serve them.

Sounds like your reaching...:|

Great example why the Founding Fathers only wanted people who were Property Owners and Informed Citizens to vote. lol.

I'd just like to say, I don't think Obama or McCain understand everybody's situation any better than each other. If you think Obama is more "down with the common folk", and Biden is too, then you are biased. Look at their pay checks. If you think McCain understands everybody's situation better than Obama, then you are biased too. The only one who has any room to talk about understanding everybody's situation is gov. Palin. She is not balling like McCain, Obama or Biden. That's not to say she is poor or anything.

Now, Obama says he wants to build the economy from "the bottom up". That is absoluetly stupid. That sounds good to hear it as words, but think about it. How is he going to build anything when the "bottom" don't have the supplies needed to build? You have to build from the top, down. If you build from the top, jobs are created for those on the botttom. Think about it. .

Hey, I wasn't saying that he was insane, I was saying that the figure seemed off, given that there could be no way that either of the scenarios I mentioned before are currently true. Then again, forgot about the fact that people could break even on their tax return.

listen honestly everyone stop with the facts. i am supporting neither canidate but as much as everyone wants to believe its not about what they've done in the past its about who you think will be the best man for the future of our country, throw all those stats out the window.

Does he have a link to back up his statistic?

Don't forget exemptions, itemized deductions, and tax credits. You get money back or can break even.

why this guy got nominated in the first place is beyond me
