Are fed income taxes the only taxes out there ?? These threads always ignore the fact that there are a shit load of other taxes out there .
The real question is what is the real tax rate of the rich . Whenever some rich guy (usually a politician ) has to reveal his taxes it is always a lot lower than the posted rates because we have so many tax shelters.
So just to be clear, you think that if we bring in corporate and other investment taxes, that means the share the rich pay goes ... down ...?
I'm just annoyed at the constant mantra that the "rich" get socked wh all the taxes and get no benefit put of it.
The rich do get socked with most of the taxes. And who said get "no" benefit. We don't get nearly what we pay, but who said we get "no" benefit. You made that up. And that's your standard? If we get any benefit it justifies whatever we're forced to pay?
