Well spoken. I especially like the part about taxing the wealthy uses our own capital. I assume what you meant is it uses their capital and keeps them from increasing their portfolio. It is much better put to use for their benefit then having them give some back to benefit the whole country which they utilize to make their money. Otherwise they are just leeches sucking the life out of the country and sending it elsewhere.
Didn't realize China is no longer a Communist Country. I guess Russia wasn't Communist either. Why did Reagen run us so far in to debt spending them in to the ground?
Those people that live in the far east and the middle east are not US citizens. So they don't count in the Mt Everest analogy.
Yes China does own a lot of America. The country of China. They have companies just like we do. They are owned by the state though. The people that manage them are well paid and probably are millionaires. They are millionaires at the will of the state though. If they do something out of line they lose their money and are thrown in jail.
Remember when Bush wanted to sell our ports to Saudi Arabia to help pay for his tax cuts to the wealthy? Good thing his rubber stamp Congress was gone by then.

That only pays for the first 26 weeks.....after that the tax payers are paying.
Do you understand the concept of insurance?
As a tax payer I'm ready to make sure all Americans survive even if I have to pay taxes so someone won't end up in the street.
Every insurance policy has its limits. There is never an unlimited pool of resources that you can tap. Unemployment benefits are meant to get people by between jobs and there are limits to those benefits. Unemployed workers cannot just standby waiting for things to be fixed for them and it may take some painful choices on their part to be able to get on with their lives.

Unemployment benefits go immediately back into circulation. They are spent back into the economy pretty much as soon as they are given.
These government handouts however
http://www.corporations.org/welfare/
Well, lets just say what I see trickling down isn't green......
Hey, I hate corporate welfare even more than welfare for the poor; corporatism is one of the things that got us into this mess. I'm just saying that there is a strong correlation between benefits/welfare and unemployment. I am also saying that I have seen people who happily leech off of said benefits. Don't get me wrong, I've also seen people who don't leech and do good with it. However, it is not the government's place to take others' money and give it to those who didn't earn it. That is the place of charities, family, and the church. Charity forced through government lessens giving to private charities, which typically do a better job anyway.

Last I checked I pay taxes out of our unemployment still... and those who are not unemployed pay into it... when we go back to work we pay into it. Just like all insurances, some people pay into it their entire life and never use it, others end up using it constantly. Maybe increase how much everyone pays into it to extend it.
After a few speeding tickets and accidents my husband's insurance went up... but they still paid... they still covered everything. No one said "Hey, we don't think we should have to pay for this accident because you've already used your insurance... but we want you to keep paying premiums."
Besides... 10% unemployment will only look like 6% unemployement if we don't extend benefits. What kind of reality is that... oh wait... the kind where CRIME is going to increase to make up for it. Safe neighborhoods won't be in situations like this. You are creating desperate people... and desperate people are dangerous... and they will cost us to put up in the prisons rather then try to shell out a few more months unemployment.

There's some income not stated there or you need an accountant. For federal that would be an effective tax rate of 28%. My math shows a max of around $12,000 for federal income tax on $75K for a single person using the standard deduction. Your property taxes alone were more than the standard deduction, so itemizing your deductions on mortgage interest, property taxes, other taxes paid, and any tax credits you qualified for it should have been well below $12,000.
Wow if you've been paying that much tax each year you need an accountant. Somehow I think you forgot to add what you actually paid after your standard deduction and your mortgage and property tax deductions. That's higher than what they pay in Sweden and they get cradle to grave benefits and a heck of a good social safety net.
Those are true taxes paid, not all income taxes, some of that was from money pulled from 401.
City income tax is from the city i work in ,I don't live in a city limits.
No I don't pay all those each year ...did for 2008
Don't have much as deduction, as everything I have is payed for.
