Dumbass, that is what I said. I would change the tax code to close loopholes only available for offsetting income, if you are in the top earnings group. You asked what I would do, and I told you, point out specific loopholes, sometime with the reference number. I am sorry if the top income earners are not making enough, to suit you, and you don't want to see loopholes not accessible to anybody but them closed.
If you didn't want to know, you shouldn't have ******* asked, dumbass. To do anything at all regarding tax rates, specific tax accommodations, would in fact require changes to the tax code. I simply do not favor establishing a new higher tax bracket as nobody is paying the bracketed rate, due to accommodations and set asides, in the tax code, commonly thought of as loopholes. Personally, I figure I could be happy with a flat, no loopholes and no hiding income in corporate/business mazes.
If you want to stupidly ***** at somebody, ***** at the OP, or the other Mod with his "soak the rich" brackets. Like I said, I have paid mine without bitching about it since I was 16. I planned mine, like I do everything else. At filing time, I rarely paid in more the a few hundred, more than than what had come out during the year. The only time I got a substantial tax rebate was when I put and had twin boys in college (one at state university, one at a private university at the same time, during and after the Bush crash, and those rebates mostly went right back into keeping them there. But, that was then. This is now, and I am still debt free. set comfortably, and I still do not ***** about the taxes we pay. Next time you do not want to know something factual or opinion, don't be dirt stupid enough to ask, swabby.
