Remember Obama had Buffet's secretary as representative of the "poor" having higher tax rate the Buffet and looking so destitute sitting beside Michelle???

FACTS
Since Buffet didn't reveal her actual salary just that she paid higher percent then Buffet,
Assume all total income NOT dividends, capital gains etc.. that is she paid more then
Buffet's 15% in taxes...
How much income i.e. salary no bonuses etc. did she have to make to pay more then Buffet's 15%???

UNLIKE most people I seemingly am able to access the IRS tax tables for 2009.
from this site:SOI Tax Stats - Individual Statistical Tables by Size of Adjusted Gross Income

Down loaded the taxes paid in 2009 spreadsheet.. very easy!!!

13,370,297 tax returns with adjusted taxable income between $100,000 and $200,000.
Basically 13.3 million people averaged taxable income per person $100,000 to $200,000.

These 13.3 million returns paid 16.3% of their taxable income in taxes!
Wait.. THAT's MORE the Buffet's 15% RIGHT???
WELL if it's more then Buffet's secretary had taxable income more then $100,000!
HMMM.... that's not FAIR!!!

These 13.3 million had total taxable income 1.299 trillion.
They paid 212.29 Billion..........divide $212.29 billion / $1.29 Trillion it is 16.3%!!!

For you simpletons out there..AGAIN FACTS ARE AVAILABLE if you care to use them!!!
4.6 million paid just 8.7% of their $25,000 to $30,000 taxable income in taxes!
16.4 million people paid 11.6% of their $50,000 to $75,000 income IN TAXES!
2.8 million paid just 6.% of their $10,000 to $15,000 income in taxes!

Come on you simpletons.. YOU gonna let OBAMA sucker you into that BIG LIE???
YEA... Buffet's $200,000 a year secretary paid 16%..
AND THOSE FILTHY EVIL people that stole $5 million to $10 million or more a year???
those 14,236 people PAID 29.1% of their INCOME in taxes!!!

Why are people so stupid as to fall for that socialist/Class warfare cliche of Obama???

For Buffet's secretary to pay more then 15% which Buffet did in taxes
means she had to make over $100,000 and that's the FACTS JACK!!!!
 
If its $150,000+......... she is one of those evil rich people that needs to pay more.....

1. the number was over $250,000, so don't lie.
2. she already pays more because she's a W-2 employee. THAT is the point.

I know it's difficult for rightwingnuts to follow along. But at least try.

have facts ever mattered to rightwingnuts?

It must be amazing to live in world where you can make up anything you want and not having to bother to actually check the validity of anything you hear.

Obama’s Moving Tax Threshold: $250,000? $200,000? $150,000? What Next?

Well its Wednesday.....so $150,000 is rich in Obama's eyes.......and deserving of a tax hike.

I thought only Dems engaged in Class Warfare? This and the John Kerry pays less than Romney thread smacks of it
 
1. the number was over $250,000, so don't lie.

....its been anywhere from $150,000 to a "Millionaire's tax" and everywhere between.

2. she already pays more because she's a W-2 employee. THAT is the point.

I know it's difficult for rightwingnuts to follow along. But at least try.

No....she pays a higher rate. Tax Cheat Buffet paid millions of dollars in taxes last year.......his secretary paid ****.

no. it hasn't. though it has gone up closer to a million.

No....she pays a higher rate. Tax Cheat Buffet paid millions of dollars in taxes last year.......his secretary paid ****

are you being intentionally obtuse? you know that we're referring to a higher percentage of income.

is this the type of poster you intend to be?

pity....
 
Anyway Buffett isn't a "tax cheat." Everything he does to avoid (not evade) taxes is legal. It just shouldn't be.

At least she got honor of being paraded about Congress as one of Obama's stooges.

NO you are confused!
W-2 employees pay taxes that correct INCOME taxes are deducted YES!
BUT evidently you haven't filed taxes so for your information.. WHEN you file
you take all the INCOME tax with holdings
Calculate what the taxes are from a table.
Subtract what YOUR INCOME taxes PAID.
If you still owe more you pay.
If you don't owe anything and you have some left over it's called a "REFUND"!
And when you take the entire INCOME TAXES paid and divide by the taxable income
that 's where the ACTUAL TAXES IRS collected in 2009 SHOW people like Buffet's
secretary HAD to have made $100,000 to $200,000 to have paid 16.3% in taxes!

NOW I bet you thought I forgot Medicare/Social Security...hmmmmmmm
I bet you aren't retired yet BUT when you do guess what keep saying..
you'll get back those withholdings AT THAT TIME... YOU didn't PAY anything AND NOT get anything in return...
Let me put another way..
Over 30 years your paycheck will have at $30,000 salary over $150,000 deducted and your employer matches that... YOU GET IT BACK from SS/Medicare!
THOSE ARE NOT TAXES!!!

So again Buffet's secretary making $100,000 to $200,000 has income taxes deducted.
Files taxes and PAID at 16.3% of taxable income TAXES.. NOT MEDICARE/SS.. TAXES!

But people like you so totally confused don't seem to understand the differences and have wrongly called all deductions "TAXES" WRONG!!!

You silly dumb shit, Romney already stated that he paid only 13.9% on his income of millions. While many of us making in the 100K range paid more than that. And people like you think he paid too much. LOL

It is assholes like you that are contineuing the lie that the very rich pay more in percentages of income than does the middle class. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and many other captains of industry have told you differant many times. You simply prefer the lie that fits your ideology and the parrellel universe you "Conservatives" seem to live in.
