Why are taxes so important to the republicans?

It seems that this is the only thing they ever talk about and now I have an election year to look forward to this again. Doesn't anything else matter to them?

    It comes from the theory that the rich are job creators.

    Why yes they are, they need a Mexican do their yard, a maid to keep their mansions immaculate and let's not forget the pool cleaner who screws the wife while hubby is in Florida on business screwing his personal assistant.

    AND ladies and gentlemen that is job creation at its best.

    They're just pandering to selfish people who think they deserve keep the money they earn.

    The rich want to get richer over the bodies of the poor.
    I had one yacht owner who would brag that he's paid twice as much to his tax attorney to avoid paying taxes, than his taxes would have been. It's all a game to the super rich.
    Don't even get me started on pollution credits, where the biggest polluters can purchase pollution credits and pollute as much as they please and just pay for the privilege. But you and I have to pay through the nose for antipollution equipment on our vehicles that lowers the gas mileage considerably, which by the way, increases the profits of the same companies paying the pollution credits (credits which you are paying for with higher gas consumption). Nice scam, don't you think? Yeah for the good old USA!
    Sorry, rant over.

    Odd years aren't serious election years, buddy. 2016 will be a big deal; 2015 is not.

      He meant the presidential election. He was most of the way through the time between presidential election years.

    Taxes aren't important to Republicans. They are important to Democrats. The Democrats wan't a big useless government to regulate everything about your life. The government does not make anything that generates money to pay for the big government. The only way for big government to get more money is to tax the people who DO make money. Since that is businesses and people. The Republicans like a small government that stays out of YOUR business and pocketbook. If you like to pay taxes so much, you can pay mine for me. I prefer a small government and low taxes so I can afford to to do more than just work to pay for the big government. People on welfare or still living with their parents just can't see that the government is sucking the working stiff to death.

        If you say so. Lets see how you feel when you get out there and have to actually earn a living. Do you want to give all of your hard earned money to the government who will only give it to illegal aliens and people on welfare? I know I don't. I work for my money let them work for theirs. And I am way far from being a rich person. Unless I hit the lottery.

        • Woah. I was agreeing with you! I was making a sarcastic remark about republicans only caring about the rich because that's what the left seems to think. It isn't true at all.

            Sorry, your remark sounded like the usual leftist liberal rhetoric flooding the media. My apologies.

    Tax is theft!
    Theft of money earned, by bureaucrats and 'governments' to spend on themselves, to waste by supporting rogue states such as israel and wage war on Muslims.
