Payroll tax IS social security/medicare. However, listen very carefully when liberals use the term, because they will use it “flexibly”. You’ll rarely hear a liberal refer directly to withholding taxes, they’ll always use the term payroll taxes. Sometimes they mean withholding taxes, sometimes they mean social security. It depends on who they are trying to snowball.

“Payroll taxes are regressive, placing an undue burden on the poor.” is a common statement referring to the SS/Medicare contributions. Regressive in their mind because it is applied with a fixed percentage to every penny of earned income, so the poor get no relief from paying it. Now watch the shell closely. Social Security is not really a tax, if you ask a liberal. It’s a savings account for your old age. So who would rightly complain about it being regressive, when the more one pays in, the more one gets out?

But it sure is a nice vehicle for those caring liberals to display their compassion for the poor, and their vitriol for the “wealthy”.

If you like breathing I wouldn’t be too quick to jump on Al Gore’s taxing pollution idea. You see the Goracle thinks Carbon dioxide is a pollutant. While carbon dioxide is actually an essential building block of life, and is what plants breath, and is totally beneficial to the atmosphere… what’s more important to understand is that carbon dioxide is what you exhale. If Al Gore gets his tax on “pollution” you may wake up one day to find you can no longer afford to breath.

And on a sidenote: Why is it every time I see Al Gore that I imagine him with pointy ears and horns and a spear-like serpentine tail ?

Algore evidently thinks we’re intellect neutral with this shell game tax shuffle that he’s trying to sell us.

What a jago**.

As idiotic as this idea is, I would support any shakeup of the IRS/income tax just so that we can begin a discussion of something better, possibly the Fair Tax.

THE REAL INCONVENIENT TRUTH IS THAT WE WERE ATTACHED ON 9/11 AND HAD TO UNITE AS A COUNTRY AGAINST A REAL ENEMY. Gore and his psyco bable eco-tecno talk bullshit is designed toward a pre Katrina mentality. We all have seen first hand what government control does to produce the helpless poor frakin me mentality that this A-Hole Gore is depending on. We are men here AG, American working class males. Screw you and your whole communist demagoguery. Open up the oil rich Alaskan frontier and the offshore resources off the coast of Florida. George Bush has new coal burning technology, lets at least take a look at it. Florida’s Governor anounced today we have our first hydrogen fuel station open here in Orlando, with more to come. Gore you are an insult to my intellegence. You are trying to make a liar out of Abraham Lincoln when he stated his famous quote about “You can fool some of the people all of the time. You can fool all of the people some of the time.BUT you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” Take your tripe to the third world cause your stinkin up the place!

Huh?….. I don’t get it, maybe I should go back and listen to that again. It’s painful watching him talk though.

If payroll taxes != income taxes than I take back what I said. If he’s not man enough to say “Let’s fund Social Security with pollution taxes” he’s obviously just playing political spin doctoring.

He is talking about doing away with payroll taxes, not income taxes. Correct me if I am wrong, but payroll taxes refer to Social Security and Medicare taxes only.

KING: Former moron presidents have often criticized presidents. So it goes back in history, goes back a long way, as ~~presidents~~ idiot talk show hosts do. I mean, there is no...

That lock box should have only one purpose - to lock up super conceited arsholes.

Is there some confusion here about what the lunatic is proposing?
Does he want to eliminate the payroll tax (social security tax) or the income tax? Two different things!!

He doesn’t like the oil money going to Saudi Arabia? I guess that means he wants more oil drilling in US territories (Alaska, Gulf of MExico, etc.) by US-based oil companies. I’m sure he’s thought what he said all the way through and that is what he means.

Gotta go fire up the BBQ, start the mower, and redline the 505/V8 in the pickup. BRB.

Good idear. Also, I’m in the mood for a good ol’ tire burning. Pile ‘em up nice and high, and watch that black smoke rise. Nothing like the smell of smoldering tires – it’s enough to make a grown man cry.

I really want this guy to put his hat in the ring for the Democratic nomination.

I suppose there’s always a chance this guy could win the Presidency, but this stuff is HYSTERICAL!
