Hundreds of questions. And -- she says after a -- at this conversation vanquish your sister Donna. -- You know so much. But public knows the real --

A couple of I didn't -- doesn't know why I. Look at the speaker just misspoke yet again. I.

let's get there and we love red laugh all generated so great -- tax day did you read this story no I did on headline in the Drudge Report -- this trend -- which I love about all my most. Top 47%. As we talk about the solve all the -- roughly half of America pays no federal income taxes but even worse. 40% of American gets a check. On tax day yeah and I'm talkin' I'm not talking and getting the money they've been collecting for your paycheck back I'm talkin' tax credits you're turning a profit should have to almost half where America turns up profit. On April 15.

And you know it's not only on April 15 let's get a little bit more specific. It's on me it's on you it's on a whole host of people disagree what do you and we don't that the payment. No no it's all on us a lot like -- pay for a daddy wobble just whip may have part of this is what I really -- is the challenge has the opportunity. I want the liberal. A progressive. Democrats who listen to this show Obama's Democrat -- teases -- all its armament Democrat. Somebody has to justify this to me somebody has to explain. The rationale. As to why half the country is paying Ian and I don't begrudge. You know the payment -- taxes we live in a beautiful country and there are services and other things we depend upon from government so I don't begrudge that I do begrudge -- one half of my fellow citizens. I'm not only getting a free ride. Many of them are getting 40% money in we have -- pocket I'll -- so yes. It is like go to a restaurant and not only get the meal for nothing.

The result is a tax system that exams almost half the country from paying for programs that benefit every one. Including national defense public safety infrastructure and education. It is a system in which the top 10% of earners households making an average of 366000. Dollars a year. Going back a few years paid about 73%. I only high taxes. All income tax you have got the bottom 40% on average make a profit from the federal income tax meaning they get more money in tax credits then they would otherwise owe in taxes for those people. The government sends. Them a payment. Is this any way to run a country now. That this is what by the way. Liberals still run around and complain about the tax system being unfair I'm sure because I'd look there are big earners don't pay enough it's unfair all right.

It is hideously unfair I noticed by the way there are no calls calling you to justify the program this is indefensible it really is this is utterly indefensible. Next time we have well I guess we'll have Scott Brown an early next week. Any of the federal people include only two and -- and no let him get away with -- any of those guys -- gonna ask him about this what are they going to do to correct now.

Another little weary but the glaring inequity the movement is still going in the other direction progressives quote -- are still running around talking about. The lack of social justice. Billy -- is no reason they felt the need. To pass -- her -- affect health care bill that they just made in the law the reason I felt compelled was because nobody's doing anything. Further regular working people are not.

This is this this this should never ever ever be tolerated not only is -- tolerated. It's become built in it's now pot of the system it's part of the expectations. It is ridiculous by the way I think this goes back shame on the guy. They always say Jimmy comes to worst president in history but I stuck to rethink those assessments from time to time and I think Nixon. Might actually be one of the worst presidents in history I think this idea. Started under Richard nix the idea of paying people yes yes to refundable tax cuts yeah. He was a -- liberal all my body to his price controls he did the EPA again you know I talk about environmental protection and who was he affirmative action until. I don't well podcasts anyway I mean Nixon has a lot of explaining to do a lot of things but don't -- it's unbelievable -- just -- it's unbelievable let's.

Talk about what a fair tax estimates you know my idea of fear you divide up the costs of government to send everybody -- an adult make analyst thank. Their bill for their fair share of that million in other words fair meaning there equal portion of what you Garcia with a bunch of friends you divide up the check there was only pays assure you don't ask how much your make and yup right. I get my dear fish there would be a flat percentage 5% Iraq. -- you want whenever it just so there's a little bit on this a little staggering and they're all granted you work let's say you work. Twice as hot as me twice as skillful as media make twice as much as me. You know you army pay twice as much -- twice as much in tax and I you know I I I wrestle with that but that's what I could only with -- little liberal wackos and the idea that I might pay twice as much in taxes is you because I make twice as much as unfair to assure you are usually nationally and -- 45 -- it's -- is well how it really is it's unbelievable what's a fair tax system in your -- 6172666868. Hello guess -- the first caller is. Jeff is not gonna become about this I have a feeling.

Good morning Jeff you good morning Jeff what's going on.

They guys say for the boy cannot be -- called Glen Levitt thank.

IMAP. Is there is any internal medicine.

Yeah a -- after a couple internal your camera and there's nothing. I want your Adobe didn't call land and just the pioneer lived okay what the government still in channels you know. Again though I still didn't -- I don't know -- my mother's basement. Cool I would. Eight and that's what they're doing their revenue and when -- likely be -- they're demanding kids up to 26 and that's the -- to get insurance. I'm the that it did what they're doing it that -- and everybody count them look people they haven't assist them. To -- an assist them guess then they can justify everything practice because they've got a good -- system you want people stuff. And the more stuff people get the more they hope for the people -- the custom fit into and it it's. It's actually nine and it's -- dangerous well we've always taken a population of still pretty young lady that.

And -- don't forget the we're dependent absolutely utterly dependent Jeff and afraid to stand on their own two feet because they don't they actually don't have to stand on their own two feet. The though the most horrifying part of this is if the majority of people. Get to decide. How much of the minority should be paying them. Why would you ever stuck why would you have us WB eleven -- your parents for example dot you can just yet the man I mean I agree I mean it's unbelievable this loses the big bandwagon effect hey sure why not I'll get on I'll get on the bus to. Diuretics NW RQ good morning guy.

Well you know guys I think your children so that people will vote themselves the treasury at stake at. And that's exactly what we're going to grow and excel I'm glad you're you're offended by this but I think you were part of a system that. Really in Massachusetts. Has in gender and and and made this the New York. Yeah this one party rule we just continued cycle of between unions getting what they want Saddam at from the government and it just you know that's. That's the problem is no one's using common sense we need a middle class. Legislature and it saves them money when they get in trouble and it can spend more in over this.

Guy guy you should be sent a mile stretch ever gonna commendation we send more money than any state in the country when I was up there and we work with Republicans and Democrats pretty effective wellness by the way. I think fourth may be five times it's been proposed that graduated income tax here in Massachusetts which would be similar to this silly system we have the federal level. I fought it tooth and nail and we -- every single time it's been on the ballot at least three or four times it has not passed. And it's a credit to the people of Massachusetts Democrats and Republicans who see this is nothing but. Kind of -- rob the rich mentality. A Robin Hood mentality that makes no sense at all.

Hamachi is Dave does more money wired my my taxes in Massachusetts. Continued to ratchet up.

More and more everything they think they can never get enough money and it you know you can you can cherry pick and pouring out.

Not cherry creek park not cherry pick and -- dog guy you'd have I mean I haven't been up different five he has a go back. From 1991 through 2005. And look at how much money we put away how Wall Street read it out rated us in terms Iraq. Fiscal credibility coming tax cuts were done. Forty Los. Forty plus. Tax cuts and direct it is as clear Isabel I think what's clear now -- keeping you out of it. Is that everybody realizes that the government has an insatiable desire. For more spending money. And has no I had and I -- I would not -- has no appetite for cutting back on anything it's currently doing. And -- and in his some of the reasons why -- okay again just to introduce facts into the general conversation I don't disagree with the sense that there's always an. In increasing appetite -- if you're running the environmental protection department you are aware of things. That could and should be perhaps everybody wants a bigger by running the highway department you're aware of some things that you'd like to be able to do. If you're running the department of mental retardation out developmental disabilities or whatever they call. You're aware of needs and and requests that come in from individuals and families that he would like to meet and so it takes somebody up the and it you know could be guy. An ordinary citizen who calls it has some concern goes up and has the try to reconcile these things it's not. It's not as -- kind of an insatiable one way.

All right so you say policy you know why the social services stuff needs to be cut I mean I tell that simple budget of Medicaid. Which is a ten billion dollar line item in this state of Massachusetts and you have to say really invading you know gets sold us a safety net. And let's ask this question along with the general conversation we're having about taxes. How much should the social safety net cost you to be 5% of our badgers 7%. -- should just be locked in. We don't spend more than tax for social safety net thanks dear you've got a ten billion dollar line item on our twenty trillion dollar budget try to earlier Arnold Tom Tom good morning.

Oh my actually three people you'd figure it out from here now Geithner. Rangel. And Daschle. Nonpayment of taxes. One writes the text golden city Rangel. I EST I have read legislation on that I -- committee yes -- Geithner and force a company. Yeah he had internal revenue he's got quite a history not sure they'll look at actual. -- brought it up almost senator needs a -- we've got Daschle and Rangel. We can do and -- went and got nervous wounded the other the only thing I'm going broke.

Ha ha ha ha I -- is a little stronger and I didn't know I'd -- put them do well I thought Rodney the next NW RQ what's up.

I care I get that -- that was the speaker on this idea I I'd vote broke flat fact that I had it beat the I guess that the well what brought a certain -- I have. And dumb. What it just signs of a doubt all the society has one more people are getting better -- yeah are getting better paying yeah. Ed dot I think work where we all ought to that point if not that point already and it it's gonna be the downfall if it. Yeah that could -- it -- we just savage at night he says he had a body he noted not constitutional but he said. Just from a party that quite a while put somebody who pay -- a million dollars and act did not get more remote than someone who actually Peabody and Bobby did not constitutional but you gotta think about it a little bit -- Why why why should have what has that much could they it took 51 out of 100 getting money that never gonna vote get rid of the system.

No and it's viewed as as some kind of cruel racist bigoted hateful five but in reality if somebody is only taking. And not contribute to. They're gonna have a pretty twisted sense of what government responsibilities. Are and what government's option you really ought to something -- Todd because it does become twisted and it becomes poisonous when -- politics and where should he -- policy. Yup policies -- driven by envy and jealousy there's always going to be somebody who has more money than -- you -- Burress. All by year's success so whatever the heck it is to think that our alive should be motivated by envy or jealousy because of this success is to me ridiculous -- we'll talk more about it coming up 6172666868. What is a fair tax system to you obviously. If half the country isn't paying any federal income taxes. We have a.
