That's another misconception. The fact that you are in the 25% bracket means that "the last dollars earned" may be taxed 25%. But, using single as an example, the first $9325 is still taxed at 10%, from $9,326 to $37,950 is taxed at 15%, from $37,951 to $91,900 is taxed at 25%.

So, if you are in the 25% tax bracket only your earning above $37,950 are taxed at 25%. And those taxes are applied to your adjusted gross income, the amount that is reduced by exemptions and deductions. Take a look at your income tax return and figure what the real percentage was that you paid. It will be considerably less than 25%. Now start working a little harder during that last 10 hours of the week.

Stealing their land, stealing their oil, genocide? Seriously, can't take any of your points 'seriously' anymore with that intro. You would have thought the Indians were civilized and created an advanced civilization in America....well before the Europeans arrived. You do know the first Indians were also migrants and those 'Indians' stayed into the Stone Age until the Spanish arrived.

Every tribe should operate casinos since they provide jobs and a source of income to the Indians themselves. Seminole Tribe in Florida has a monopoly on Casino's in Florida but they have a 'Cost Share' program with the state, But that's not w/out some perks for the Tribe such as a total monopoly on board gaming in the state, lobbying and politics. The parimutuel racetracks, which began offering banked card games in June, will be banned from offering such games....all politics and money, the same as the new tax law, its all about revenue for the states.

You have a fascinatingly total ignorance of history.

Yeah, sorry, guess I don't have the unique gift of re-writing history to meet an agenda...oh well, guess I'll have to live with it. But you go for it. Cheers

Also, the burden of increased welfare payments and the cost to taxpayers for illegal aliens. The states and federal Govt. need money for these people.


Illegal aliens are not eligible for welfare payments.

Smoke & Mirrors......typical legalese....redirect attention or make the direction so complicated no one can follow the straight and narrow path.....make it so complicated most just shrug and move on .....not totally understanding how they are being taken advantage of......
