If he really wants to pay 50% of his $$ in taxes, he could just write Boy Zero a check.

But he won't do that because these shitheads never put their money where their (loud)mouths are.

It wouldn't bother me one bit if they taxed the million/billionaires 50% as long as it alleviated some of the middle/lower class tax burden. If it help's them sleep better at night thinking "I did my part" and it puts a little more coin in my pocket, I'm all for it!!!

I personally support a flat tax. An interesting article from the Von Mises Institute a few years ago, supported with sound math, substantiated a tax of less than 6% on everyone could balance the budget within 3 quarters and eliminate the deficit within 7 years.

P.S. The gov. of Maine, Ohio and Michigan have the fiscal aptitude of a box of hair...

What a fuckin' moron.

I also support a flat tax but I don't think 6% would do the trick. With a GDP of 14 trillion dollars, 6 percent works out to around 840 billion. That might have been enough 20 years ago, but not today.

Our current annual national budget is in the neighborhood of 1.3 to 1.5 trillion dollars so $840B would leave us short. Way short. That would mean a 40% cut in the national budget would be in order just to balance the books AND WE ALL KNOW THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, much as we'd like it to. So a 6% flat tax would have us continuing to fall behind, much as we are now.

I think it's going to have to be more like 10 to 15 percent if it's going to balance the budget AND pay down the debt.

But here's the rub. For the last 2 decades, politicians have routinely spent 20 to 40% more money than they have taken in. So could we really trust them with more tax revenue? I suspect not because the thing they don't seem to understand in DC is that IT'S THE SPENDING, STUPID!!!

Stephen King is a huge gun control advocate (and elitist leftist in general) ... we've been bitching about him for years on the gun forums.

Whats ironic is I bet if you added up all the taxes King pays, he's probably already paying about 50% of his income.

I haven't watched it yet, but it sure sounds disappointing. Dear Mr. King, Harry Potter was better than the Dark Tower series. Take THAT!

[2008f450]

I dont allow his books into my home. I will not contribute my hard earned money to fuck ups like him.

[IDFYF8]

Well, I have been a semi-fan of his for most of my life. I'm actually a bit shocked by what a Fucktard he turned out to be. Hmmm...

Don't steal my "fucktard". I patented that after years of being a teacher in the public education system. No, I'm talking about the kids... That term is reserved for the politicians and administrative staff that are so far disconnected from a classroom they wouldn't know what a pencil sharpener was if they got they goober stuck in one but continue to dictate unrealistic policy on an even more unrealistic budget.

Sorry for the off-topic rant. Jamison and I have been having a conversation about the state of this state tonight!

What a sad state of affairs when our own educators cannot properly construct a sentence.

Glad I stopped buying his books 2 decades ago. He only pays 20%? how the fuck does that work? I pay about 38% and I am no where near a multi-millionaire. Mr. King, shut the fuck up and write your check. good bye.

I beg to differ WRT John Kasich. Kasich was responsible for the efforts of the Gingrich Congress to balance the budget and he's doing the same thing for Ohio. I would have much preferred Kasich to Dole in '96 or Bush in '00 and '04 or McCain in '08.
