We know.

But Solar did claim to be rich, which is obviously a lie.

I know for a fact he is.  Sorry.

You're forgiven.

Yeah, I bet he's your "partner"   

Let me ask my question again.  6th time a charm.

Simple yes or no:  does a rich person saving money hurt poor people?

I have a feeling this kid isn't from this country.  His understanding of economics is just too foreign.

DOH!!! That makes total sense! Yep, Canadian.

He's doing the same thing stupid people have been doing for years with the FairTax, trying to misrepresent it.  He's talking about the prebate.  The FairTax doesn't tax the basic necessities.  So, when that amount is sent back, he calls it a subsidy, even though it's a reimbursement.  He simply has no idea what he's talking about and is just parroting something he was told.

You are correct about the Prebate.  The federal government sending out checks monthly to almost everyone.  Every politician will promise to send out larger checks than the other politician. You think we are in debt now ... this will be a disaster!

Read and think.

For the umpteenth time: if there is a deficit, cutting taxes on individuals hurts ALL people, including poor. It is not the saving of money that hurts poor people. It is the deficit, which adds to the debt, which contributes to ever-increasing interest payments on the debt.

Advocating tax cuts while there is still a huge deficit and a huge debt make no sense. Eliminate the deficit, THEN start worrying about tax cuts.

You are incredibly naive. You probably believe in "trickle down economics" too.

If you eliminate the IRS, some other agency is going to have to carry out the functions currently performed by the IRS (like auditing to ensure people aren't cheating on their taxes). And there is no reason to believe such agency would be any more cost effective than the IRS is today.

So No.

If the IRS was abolished a very simple tax system would be needed. A few people in a small office could handle it. The behemoth that is the IRS wouldn't be needed.

How do you plan to grow the economy?

I used to live in Kentucky though. Unlike you two hicks, I've lived and traveled in multiple countries. You losers probably don't even have passports   

Here we go.
