Should The Rich Be Required To Pay Higher Taxes In the US?

[danielpalos]

dear, you have nothing but diversion, which is usually considered a fallacy.

I am not a dear, so please cease with the tripe. You have done nothing but divert, which is considered a fallacy.

we have a Commerce Clause; don't complain, be Patriotic.

Commerce clause to raise taxes on the poor? What the hell is wrong with you and wanting to tax the poor? You are a fruitcake.

nothing but fantasy from the national socialist right wing?

Why do you want to raise taxes on the poor? Should we not lower taxes on the poor and everyone else.

How do we do that, with progressive forms of income tax; that we actually and currently have?

nothing but right wing fantasy and projection.

 

[danielpalos]

seems like a, "conflict of interest" if he wants to lower taxes, for the rich.

What Trump has proposed is lowering the marginal tax rates.

That is the "conflict of interest" part.

Does our Commander in Chief believe we should lower taxes during any alleged need for the exigencies, he alleges to believe are necessary and proper and executed via executive order, for any alleged exigency of "national security" and the necessity and propriety of national security Tax Rates, now?

In other words, are we in Real Times of War or not.

Real times of War require real times of War, tax rates;

In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore, we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

The People, have a need to know.

Dude, if you are going to posit cocamamey shit, it needs to at least be shit that falls within the most basic confines of the law. The President does not have the power to raise or lower tax rates. That is a power of the Congress and they have yet ceded it to the President. The closest thing to taxing power/authority that a president has is with regard to tariffs and trade agreements. Sure, one can call that a tax, but it's not the type of tax we're discussing here.

are we in real times of War, or not:

I cannot answer the question because "real times" and "war times" are not mutually exclusive things. Moreover, though "war time" is at least definable in terms of whether the U.S. is actively in a war declared by Congress, "real times" is some nebulous term you've created, used, asked me about, and not precisely defined. I'm not like a lot of people whom you'll encounter in that I won't opine or make declarations about things I don't fully understand.

just lousy reading comprehension?

are we in real times of War, or not:

I think the rich should ABSOLUTELY pay more

Just how much more would you have rich people pay? Wealthy people already pay over half the total personal federal income taxes collected.

do they, actually pay that or does an, artificial person do it for them?

Mr. Trump did not pay any personal income taxes, recently.

Evidence?

Should we ask, wikileaks?

No. You said it, I'm asking you.

I don't have the delegated authority; we need to ask Congress. Want to help draft a letter?

Blocked by the New BS GOP under Clinton AND Obama...O couldn't do that DURING a meltdown when he HAD power- for a month.

Excuses, excuses. It's funny how the GOP gets everything they want passed and the Democrats are blocked all the time. Sounds like the Democrats are pretty pathetic lawmakers. Your BS is off the charts. The more you simple minded people play partisan politics the better of the rich and Congress are. Dupe!

The GOP only wants to defend Reaganist tax rates, keep deregulation and block progress, genius. They never pass ANYTHING, dupe. The greedy idiot rich love things as is...

The less the government does the better it is for the people

Well you must love the total bs of the last 35 years, chump. "I know, another tax cut for the rich!"

if you say they don't pay taxes now, then how is it they can get a tax break? I mean dude, be consistent at least.

How much did Mr. Trump pay in personal income taxes, and why is He asking for a tax break, if he doesn't pay personal income taxes?

I don't care, and he made a promise to the people who voted for him

Should The Rich Be Required To Pay Higher Taxes In the US?

Yes. That 1% should be taxed at very high levels. We should adopt the Japanese model of CEOs being paid only X amount of times more than the lowest workers in that company. Anything exceeding that should be taxed at at least 75%. Inherited wealth should also be taxed at previous levels.

He paid whatever he was legally obligated to pay
Unless you can prove he actually cheated he has done nothing wrong

I think the rich should ABSOLUTELY pay more because the majority of them are selfish and don't care about anybody but themselves! Trust me, if you are a millionaire, it is NOT going to hurt you if you just pay a little more in taxes. I believe that if you are a good and righteous person, you would want to help the poor or people that are less fortunate. It's as simple as that! People need to stop being so selfish.

Plus help pay for the endless bs wars and what can only be described as extravagant military spending that often times produces nothing but garbage.

so do you people actually think that poor people are incapable of being selfish?

 

[pwjohn]

Due to the enormous corruption and cronyism in our federal government, many wealthy use their expensive lawyers to get out of paying taxes. The current tax code is 70k pages...time for a change.

Let's go to a simple flat tax. That would eliminate the political class' efforts to enrich their donors/owners.

There's more than a million dirtbags out there posing as tax attorneys and accountants that will crap all over your best efforts to effect change in the way you describe. And in the process, make the tax code even more complex

The short answer; Trump wants to make sure all his cronies get out of paying any taxes just he did.

He owes taxes. Trump did the exact same thing with a balance due of zero. And over a two decade period of time. And did I forget to mention trump lived a life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams in the process.
