Puts the whole soak the rich philosophy into perspective, and this is just the FEDERAL BUDGET.

That says nothing about how little people of little means pay. It merely highlights how little they have. It says reams about the incredible amount of money that has been redistributed to the rich.

They say that the top 20% ( and most of this is in the top 10%) of the people now have 3 trillion bucks lying around fallow, doing nothing but lying in unproductive accounts. Meanwhile their taxes have been slashed, while they have produced none of the promised jobs and benefits.

The corporations, who the link says were sucked dry, have 2 trillion in equally fallow, unproductive accounts while their profits are at all time highs.

It is difficult to "suck dry" via taxes when taxes are not paid. Over 60% of fortune 500 companies pay no federal tax at all. A great many of these receive subsidies and/or refunds.

For example, Exxon Mobile made 30 BILLION in profits, paid no federal while receiving millions in refunds. (And in subsidies) They are just the worst of the offenders.

Meanwhile middle class income is steadily shrinking.

Forgive me if I cannot find reason to cry for the wealthy.

You miss the point. The point is even if you take the 3 trillion lying around doing nothing YOU STILL HAVENT PAID FOR A WHOLE YEAR OF THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT. Then next year you have even less to try to take from them.

What this is saying is that even if you took as much of the "wealthy" money away from the wealthy, you still are short what you want to spend, and that is just at the FEDERAL level.

but go ahead and keep ignoring the big picture.

Tax cuts for the wealthy cost us over 800 billion a year. Each and every year.

Tax avoidance by Corporations cost us at least that much. Each and every year.

That would still leave all the "wealth where it is. The US does not tax wealth, it taxes income.

Iraq and Afganistan cost us over 200 billion a year. Each and every year.

Now add Libya.

Big picture you say?

Where is your source for the $800 billion a year? From my recollection the bush Tax cuts cost at most $2 Trillion over the years 2001-2010, which averages 200 billion per year, which is 20 days of federal revenue.

Second, go ahead and close all those tax loopholes, just be ready for the price increases that will come on all goods, as the compaines will still try to make the same amount of money.

Last, 200 Billion is 20 days of federal spending at current rates. a drop in the bucket.

Still missing the point.

Edit: found link, even people who agree with you call it $700 billion over 10 YEARS, not $800 billion per year. Thats 7 days of federal spending.

Big picture you say?

Yes big picture. And people like you will never ever see it. Democrats love people like you. People that actually argure FOR having more of their own money taken away and given to government. People who argue about taxes and who should pay them as if we'll all just shrivel up and die if government doesn't spend 5 trillion dollars every year. People like you who piss and moan about how much someone else has to pay in taxes as if it actually has somethig to do with how much money you have or have the potential to make.

 

[waltky]

Here's why the rich need to pay more taxes...

... they either run or own companies or shares in companies that get tax breaks for outsourcing jobs to other countries...

... those foreign employees who get those jobs then do not pay taxes into our system...

... so the candle is being burnt at both ends which is part of the reason we're in the financial mess we're in.

Countries like China, India, So. Korea are doing pretty good now, so they no longer need the outsourcing edge...

... so let the rich make up the difference in lost tax revenue to help pay off the debt and quit whining about a lower corporate tax rate.

Nobody is suggesting we take away all the wealth from the wealthy. And for God's sake, we aren't that stupid to think that the wealthy only include those in the Fortune 500. There is no doubt that spending must be cut, but the wealthy need to pay a bigger share also. They are the only ones to have reaped any rewards from the tax cuts of the last thirty years.

The funny thing about all this is that the alternative is to continue on the current path, where the wealthy continue to accumulate even more wealth while the middle class disappears. Once that happens, then you will see your revolution. I guarantee you if that time comes, the wealthy won't have to worry about just trying to protect their wealth.

Video from Bill Whittle on Taxing the rich:

YouTube - EAT THE RICH!

Original Print version from iowahawk for those who hate video (or bill whittle)

iowahawk: Feed Your Family on $10 Billion a Day

Puts the whole soak the rich philosophy into perspective, and this is just the FEDERAL BUDGET.

Slick Willie Whittle is your typical CON$ervative liar. He deliberately tries to misdirect you from where the real wealth is hidden. Gates and Buffett are paupers compared to the Rockefekller Family. The truly wealthy pay no taxes because their wealth is not in their names. They keep it hidden in their phony charities. The Rockefeller family alone have set up over 2,000 of these phony charities. There are 60 families, known as The Establishment, who established their phony charities before the law was changed to prevent you and I from copying them and dodging our taxes like a Blueblood. Pat Robertson eventually found a loophole for religious charities, so now you can start a ministry and dodge your taxes like a Blueblood.

If you want to put the fear of God in these Robber Barons, threaten to nationalize all their charities!!!!

I have a feeling if these thing actually do exist, taking all thier money would probably cover less than a 3rd of a years worth of spending, and once gone, you cant use it again.

You still miss the overall point of the exercise.

All this is is a thought exericse. Also note he said to take ANY income over 250k each year from people, and that only got you a 1/3 of the year.

The scale of the federal budget is the target of this piece.

The Rockefellers alone have trillions hidden.
You don't have to take ALL their money, only their fair share of taxes on their hidden untaxed trillions. The deficit is a trillion or so, not the figure Slick Willie Whittle used to deceive rubes like you.

First off all, nice name calling. Its a true sign that you can't make your own point.

Trillions? Really? Maybe we should move this post to conspiracy theories.

Again, he wasnt even talking about the deficit, he was talking about the overall budget. Even if they had 2-4 trillion, and you took all of it, It would cover you for a year or so, or if you applied it to the debt, would get rid of less than 1/2 of it.

I would suggest you stop huffing whatever your "inhalant de jour" is, it seems to be affecting your metal accumen.

The average U.S. taxpayer HAS no obligation to make Life more-palatable for the 1%ers/high-roller$. We took care of that, thru the Revolutionary War. The fact we need to deal with the new Tories (Teabaggers) is a minor-irritant....but, we managed, before.

Every-little-bit helps.....and, the 1%ers/high-roller$ can certainly afford to kick-in a little-more in taxes, like they did during the Clinton Years....

No it is mindless drivel for the truly gullible. The target of the piece is suckers like you!!!
The wealthy pay no taxes. The idea is to get them to start paying their fair share of taxes, which means they only have to cover the deficit, not the full tax burden.
If you remember, Damn Quayle admitted that if you made the top tax rate 100% the rich still will pay no taxes. Even your MessiahRushie admits the truly wealthy pay no taxes.

August 7, 2007
CALLER: And, you know, and the way our tax system works, we have an overly complex system, which in and of itself is a problem, but the way our tax system works and the way the tax laws are written, it's based on a few kind of like hinge numbers like adjusted gross income and taxable income, and while the soak the rich -- or however you choose to describe it -- really doesn't come down that way. It really comes down to much lower income levels.

RUSH: It does, exactly, and here's the dirty little secret if you ever to pull it off. It's hard. This is why most people don't understand the tax-the-rich business. You've got to structure your life so you have no "earned" income. I'm out of time. I'll explain that. There's a category called earned income versus other kinds of income. Earned income is what the income tax rate is on. That's how "the rich" do it. They don't have "earned" income. END TRANSCRIPT

The Truth About Taxes
August 6, 2007
RUSH: I've told you before: the income tax is designed to keep people like his [Buffett's] secretary from becoming wealthy! There is no "wealth" tax. So this is a big misnomer. ...
But there's no tax on wealth. There is a tax on income, and the tax on income is designed to keep everybody who is not wealthy from getting there.

I'm talking about genuine wealth, not the way Democrats define "rich."

June 14, 2007
RUSH: -- a lot of people, a lot of people wealthy people set up foundations and they do this to keep the government from getting the money.

Our break-even is $10,000,000,000 each day, and rising. So your 800 Billion would cover us from January 1 to March 15, if we use it wisely.

Exactly, SUCKER!!! And yet you still were taken in, which says all that needs to be known about your "mental acumen."

Again, the Rockefeller family ALONE has trillions hidden from all taxes, and they are only one of 60 families. If the 60 families paid only their fair share of taxes on their hidden money, like the rest of us who don't have a hidden fortune, the deficit would be covered.
