re: #516 jamesfirecat

Why don’t you tell me the number so I learn something rather than just mocking my ignorance?

Do some basic math

Lets say a 60K private employee is in the 25% tax bracket

Thats 15K in fed taxes

It takes 4 private taxpayers at 15K eacj just to pay that fed employees salary

Probably takes at least 2 more to offset bennies

Thats at least 6!

So ,,, one million (the number the proposes cuts) takes 6 MILLION private sector payers

And all those 6 million JUST goes to those 1 million salaries,, NOT a dime of that gets to the military, the infrastructure, the elderly, the schools,,
