If someone is rich enough to have a private jet, do they really deserve a tax break? I mean, come on!!! Here's what I would do. Let us working stiffs pay only 15% tax on our income and make the uber wealthy pay 35% for a while. I'm sick of the people who need the least help with taxes passing legislation and writing tax code that benefits them obscenely. Aren't you? When do we, the middle class, get a significant break?
The rich pay the most so it makes perfect sense that they get the most back.
No they don't pay the most. I pay 35% and some crook pushing money around (many of the same crooks that tanked the economy of the WHOLE EFFING WORLD in the first place) pays 15% without producing ANYTHING - how is that fair? Then he can afford lawyers to help him hide the rest. The rich DO NOT pay their share. Also, why is 100% of my income taxed for SS but only a small fraction of someone making over 100K? How is THAT fair?
Pointing out "class warfare" isn't "creating" class warfare.
When billionaires pay a tiny percent compared to working middle class.
When Middle Class and poor join the military to protect billionaires money.
When billionaires can buy politicians (like the bulk of GOP money coming from a handful of donors).
When someone can take a helicopter ride for a mile to watch his son's baseball game and then ride a limo for the last 100 yards at taxpayers expense. (to be fair, public outcry was so great, he did eventually "pay up")
When you move the wealth of the nation from the middle class to the top 1%.
When you cut essential services like teaching and police and firefighters and nurses.
When you try to pass bills cutting school lunches or care for the elderly or disabled.
Tax subsidies to oil companies.
All these things are signs of "class warfare".

Nonsense, I remember democrats ripping Al Gore for flying a personal jet all over the world while telling us we need to stop using jet fuel. They're standing on principle people!
Or wait, was I just dreaming when that happened?

No we rippped him for his hypocrisy. Him talking about us reducing our carbon footprint while he leaves a trail of footprints with his private jet.
Nonsense? Yes you're full of nonsense.

Re-read what I wrote, I'm not sure how you took it the way you did.
you are so jealous of thos that acheive success, that you refuse to understand how the whole thing works...and how you, too, can better yourself.
First of all...you pay 35% taxes...it appears you have no write offs. That is YOUR choice.
No children? YOUR choice.
No mortgage where you can write off the interest? YOUR choice.
Donate little to no money to charity? YOUR choice
You do not invest in lower developed communities? YOUR choice.
So YOU choise to keep your tax burden at 35%.

My bad, I've gotten used to you being on the liberal side of things that didn't thoroughly read your comment.

I'm an atheist so you're the one who's improperly labeled me in other ways.
I'm far more conservative than you are, I'm certain of that.

IMHO, this is exactly what is wrong with the current tax code.
If you live your life the way the government wants you to live it, you get to keep your money, otherwise the government takes your money away from you.
Why should the government be able to use the tax system to control or influence the way any citizen lives their life? Why should I have to make a choice between living MY life the way I want to live it, and keeping my own money?
The tax code should not be a tool the government uses to control its citizens, but that is exactly what they are using it for (as you so ably proved with your exampes).

Yes.
I paid over 65 grand in taxes this past year.
How much did you pay?
How about gov't shrinks down to a size where they don't push us around?
