Buffet's "poor" secretary makes between $100,000 to $200,000!

percentage smercentage. the fact is Romney pays more in one year than that funky secretary is likely to pay in her lifetime. Warren Buffet should stop being so damn cheap and pay the woman.

So you don't think we need tax reform at all. Ok.

Yes we do. I've said it before, you are slow so I'll say it again. We need a fair flat tax. Starting at 20%. No exclusions, no exceptions, no exemptions. and no frackin excuses. Either we all need to pull together sic.... or we don't. enough with your bullshit class warfare.

No, no. I'm not slow, I just don't read a lot of your posts.

The bullshit is in the fair flat tax non plan that Republicans are always flapping their jaws about but never put it down on paper for anyone to actually look at.
 
Badmutha
...Tax Cheat Buffet ...

Really? You really KNOW that Warren buffet is a "tax cheat"?

You're not just making that up?

Link please. Proof that this isn't just another rw lie.

Thanks
 
I make over $150,000 per year and don't mind paying taxes.

I'm of a generation where paying your fair share was a point of pride. Its not like that anymore.

And, I assume you pay your taxes TO the United States?

I think that's the way it should be but Mittens disagrees. His investments and his banks are all foreign. He doesn't even care enough about his country to invest in it.
 
If its $150,000+......... she is one of those evil rich people that needs to pay more.....

....according to Obama. Irony at its finest........
.
.
.

So now $150,000 is rich according to Obama? You guys can't even keep your lies straight.

Please. Democrats claim you are rich if you have a freakin job.

Link? Or should I add that to the list of bullshit you guys need to spew to try and make your point.
 
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!!!!

I would expect Warren Buffet's secretary to earn a good wage. He is one of the richest people in America. She is still under the $250,000 a year level and the point is that he pays less a percentage than she does in taxes.

This is silly, you all can't continue to be this obtuse.



percentage smercentage. the fact is Romney pays more in one year than that funky secretary is likely to pay in her lifetime. Warren Buffet should stop being so damn cheap and pay the woman.

Funky secretary? Why do you hate working women? Is it because you don't work and are mooching off people who do work?
 
Income tax and Capital gains tax aren't thet same thing.

Nobody has suggested they are, but I see no reason why they shouldn't be the same rate.

You never suggest burdening people who earn income less.

If we were running a big federal surplus, that might be the right approach. Thing is, someone's contribution to the budget is going to increase, one way or another. Cut taxes for the rich, and you either increase taxes on the middle class, or cut government services that primarily benefit the middle class, or use deficit spending which works as a transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich. One way or another, unless we're running a big surplus already, a tax cut for the rich is something the middle class pay for. Always. Every time.

Why not reduce SPENDING?
I KNOW something you evidently DON"T about govt. spending..
3 very simple examples of stupid govt. spending:
1) Did you know that
The nonpartisan General Accounting Office (GAO) has looked into the amount of duplicate government programs and found a massive amount of waste. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), who requested the study, has estimated duplicative spending costs between $100 billion and $200 billion. The GAO wasn't that specific but concluded, "Reducing or eliminating duplication, overlap, or fragmentation could potentially save billions of tax dollars annually and help agencies provide more efficient and effective services."

* The U.S. government has 15 different agencies overseeing food-safety laws, more than 20 separate programs to help the homeless and 80 programs for economic development.
* There are 82 federal programs to improve teacher quality; 80 to help disadvantaged people with transportation; 47 for job training and employment; and 56 to help people understand finances.
* 18 federal programs spent a combined $62.5 billion in 2008 on food and nutrition assistance, but there is little information about the efficacy of 11 of these programs because they haven't been well studied.
* Five divisions within the Department of Transportation account for 100 different programs that fund things like highways, rail projects and safety programs.
* GAO reports there are 130,000 military and government medical professionals, 59 Defense Department hospitals and hundreds of clinics that could benefit from consolidating administrative, management and clinical functions
* There are numerous redundancies in the military's purchase of tactical wheeled vehicles and procurement.

Did you know your tax dollars were spent:

* $2.6 million training Chinese prostitutes to drink more responsibly on the job
* The (NIH) spent nearly $442,340 to study male prostitutes in Vietnam and their social setting.
* A university study of how much alcohol college freshmen women require before agreeing to sex!
* $700,000 federal grant to examine "greenhouse gas emission from organic dairies, caused by cow burps.
* The National Science Foundation spent $250k to Stanford to study how Americans use the Internet to find love.
* (ATF) spent over $20,000 in taxpayer money "to unravel the anonymity of a 2,500-year-old mummy."

See these and more egregious uses of OUR tax dollars!
Down load this report and get nauseous of examples how $11.5 billion in tax dollars absolutely WASTEFULLY spent like the above...
http://coburn.senate.gov/public/ind...;File_id=774a6cca-18fa-4619-987b-a15eb44e7f18

AND YOU THINKING collecting MORE TAX REVENUE is the ANSWER???

Finally Medicare ...
YOU obviously have NO where near the knowledge I have of Medicare waste..
FOR EXAMPLE!
Univ. Community Hospital Tampa..
Did 2,110 CAT scan in 2009
sent 2,110 claims to Medicare at $2,635 each
BUT IT Cost the hospital $43 each...
A 6,127.91% that Medicare PAID!! 2,110 times!

And that's just ONE hospital of the 6,000+ hospitals that BILL MEDICARE!!

And that is part of the $250 billion a year in WASTE and FRAUD in Medicare!

AND IDIOTS want MORE TAX DOLLARS SENT TO THIS BLOATED WASTEFUL entity??
 
What a bunch of dumb asses these Dems are.....
Buffet's secretary is the poster child child of the poor and the oppressed....

This had to have been Michelle's idea ....

What a dirtbag. You make up a lie. Insist Democrats should be chastised for the lie you made up and attack the president's wife, all in less than 30 words.
 
Any man of his funds should feel ashamed to pay a secretary anything less than $150,000 per year PLUS FULL benefits. Why would ANYONE not pay that? Oh, the market this and the market that. Thats simply a chicken*&^% copout. You got the money, you owe it.

I have another fact for you. If they want to keep blathering on about her "horrible tax burden" - hell, if they want the rest of us to formulate public policy based on it, for crying out loud - then I want to see the bitch's tax returns first. Show me the evidence, or they can shut the hell up about her. I'm sure as shit not taking the left's word for it.

This is silly, you all can't continue to be this obtuse.

Income tax and Capital gains tax aren't thet same thing.

Why you want to pretend otherwise is absurd.

If you want her to pay less, then slash the income tax. Establish a flat tax lower than the capital gains rate. Problem solved.

No. You never suggest burdening people who earn income less. It's always, lets make everyone else pay more.

Tissue?

Dont need one. Not crying or sick.

I noticed you didnt even bother trying to respond to the substance.
 
Since when is making $150K-$200K rich? Def. not poor, or hurting for money. But certainly not "rich" either.
