  |  Democratic Tax Fund DEMOCRATIC TAX REFUND ************************ A SIMPLE DESCRIPTION OF DEMOCRAT TAX REFUND LOGIC 50,000 people go to a baseball game; but the game was rained out and a refund was due. The team was about to send out refunds when the Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out refund amounts based on the DEMOCRAT DEFINITION OF FAIRNESS. After all, if the refunds were made equally to the people who paid for the tickets, most of the money would go to the top 2%. The Democrat plan says: People in the \$10 seats will get back $15, because they have less money to spend. People in the \$15 seats will get back $15, because that's only fair. People in the \$25 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money. People in the \$50 luxury seats will have to pay another $15, because they have so much to spend. And all those poor people driving by the stadium who couldn't afford to watch the game will get \$10 each, even though they didn't pay anything in, because they need the most help. | |

| Re: Democratic Tax Fund Quote:
To have a society that functions you have to redistribute the money to those in need. Think of it this way: even rich people need to have their trash picked up. So we need to take care of our garbage men. You build a sucessful society from the ground up, taking care of everyone. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| If it wasn't for the rich people, there would be no trash picked up; or investment capital to buy the trash trucks to supply the job oppurtunities to pick up the trash.  | |

| Ever heard of waste management? You need to lighten up and not take things so literally. Maby you need to get back out to the barn with the sheep. | |

| No they are not. wow The towns and communities pay companies like WM to take care of the trash. The town does not actually manage the trash. Well in some ways they control where it goes but the work is done by companies like WM. If you all are still unsure.. http://www.wastemanagement.com/wm/about/Overview.asp I'm gonna pull a quote from onthefence and say, "You are wrong". But I will provice explanation to why you are wrong | |
