A piece of the GOP platform

[J.E.D]

Besides the rest of the ridiculous, cold-hearted party platform, I found this little bit quite funny:

the party would strive to eliminate taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains altogether for lower- and middle-income taxpayers.

So, you're not in favor of eliminating taxes for lower and middle income earner. Got it.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Liberal thread FAIL

 

[AmyNation]

That's not fair. If poor people don't have to pay capital gains taxes then no one should!

Quick question..................how many lower and middle income taxpayers can afford the income required to generate capital gains?

That's just an opening for them to get rid of the capital gains for the uber rich.

 

[IHBF]

Great! A move forward to Fair Tax. Bravo!

 

[Immanuel]

Geez, next thing you know, they will be campaigning to end the Death Tax (aka Estate Taxes) on the lower and middle class.

Hoorah for the GOP!

Well, there's anyone who owns a home for starters. You sell it for more than you paid... capital gain. You have a mutual fund and you sell a security in said fund for more than you paid... capital gain.

Here's a piece explaining how capital gains tax cuts benefit middle class in Wisconsin, and just how many it can benefit.

You have to realize that when talking to the Romney rich, lower and middle income earners are probably folks pulling in 250K +. Folks earning less than 6 figures don't mean shit to Republicans and don't figure into their policies, except how to better exploit them.

All the ones striving not to be poor anymore.

I'm sorry... you consider anyone in the lower or middle income area to be poor? Really?

You're not very bright, are you.

How many poor people own a home or have a mutual fund?

A national Gallup poll conducted earlier this year discovered that even with all of the instability in the markets over the past several years, 54% of American households own stock or have some sort of investment vehicle.

According to the IRS, in 2008 more than 3.1 million of the 3.3 million who reported the sale of capital investments of some sort (excluding personal residences) had incomes of less than $200,000.

73% of those who report the sale of capital investments make less than $100,000 per year

In Wisconsin...

Those who made $50,000 or less annually accounted for 57% of those reporting the sale of capital investments.

Knowledge is your friend.

Lower income is not poor? Then what is it? Asshole?

Ok, let's refine your position, shall we?

If it doesn't help the poor, then fuck everyone else!

Yup, i think that sums up your position.


Like I said above, take WI for example...

Those who made $50,000 or less annually accounted for 57% of those reporting the sale of capital investments.

Eliminating capital gains taxes would have helped every one of these people.

 

[Conservative]

Here's the poverty guidelines, dumb ass.
2012 HHS Poverty Guidelines
Your position is, if it doesn't affect these people, then fuck everyone else.

I think the people between here and $250,000 (Obama's guideline of 'wealthy') would beg to differ with you.

did it mention "strive to eliminate" withholding's from pay checks ???

Me. I'm middle class and I receive capital gains income.

Your link is a perfect example how professional liars can deliberately deceive by simply leaving out the most important fact!

90% of all stock is owned by the top 20%, so those millions hold a very tiny amount each.

So, because they don't have the bulk of the stock, fuck 'em... let them pay capital gains taxes on it. Got it.
