Why don't you want to tax the rich?

[Thinker101]

Don’t tax the rich……just cut waste fraud and abuse has been a RW fantasy for generations

Damn, you hear that from Tampon Timmy?

 

[BackAgain]

If you are opposed, why?

Why do you oppose aggressive taxation of people making more than $250,000+ a year or $400,000+ a year annually?

We already tax the rich. Whatever “the rich” might mean these days.

And why would anyone support “aggressive” taxation? Is it like a cool new punishment for success?

 

[leftwinger]

So? A lot of people never live long enough to see that "payback".

Some never make insurance claims but pay into the pool. Some never use sick days. That's the system set up by your GOVT.

America doesn’t have a revenue problem it has a massive out of control spending problem. It really is that simple.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

This is in the federal tax code.

If you make less than +/- 130,000 a year, you pay SS taxes on every penny you make. If you make +/-130,001 a year... you pay $0.00 taxes on money made above that amount. The very wealthy actually take home more money later in the year than they do in the beginning.

Good!

 

[leftwinger]

Here is a graphic that shows what I'm talking about. I said +/- 130K earlier. Its actually $168 and some change.

Taxpayer C should be paying 6.2%--aka taxes on every dollar earned just like A and B do. Give them more on the back end because it's their money but deduct it first.

You want a new Tax on higher incomes. Because that is not how the SS retirement plan works.

Why didn't you get your Obidens to do that in 12 years of power?

 

[TemplarKormac]

So you want to "punish" the government?

Any thoughts on how you do that?

By making them pay down the debt. Electing people who aren't full of s**t when it comes to paying off the debt.

Throw the bums out.

 

[leftwinger]

America doesn’t have a revenue problem it has a massive out of control spending problem. It really is that simple.

We see now (since Trump) where its been going. In theft and waste. We always knew it. But now confirmed.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Darkwind No. But there is a lot of social frustration out there. A lot of people feel the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor.

Those people should stop watching CNN.

So you want to "punish" the government?

Any thoughts on how you do that?

Furthermore, we could find a way to revoke their salaries until the debt is addressed.

The beatings will continue until the debt improves.

 

[tahuyaman]

tahuyaman I think they should be taxed fairly like the rest of us. There is a lot of anger in this country and people have a revulsion of the rich.

Define what’s fair.


The top 1% of earners pay over 40% of the federal income tax collected.

The top 20% of earners pay slightly more that 80% of the federal income tax.

This is where liberals always fail. They just repeat clichés. They won’t give us an answer as to what they say is fair. Just more.

We already aggressively tax them. They pay the vast majority of all the income tax, mores than everyone else combined.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Except we disproportionately NOT. Tax the rich.

Try that again in English with proper syntax and grammar.

Turbo Tax, H&R Block or other tax preparers are supposed to find every tax break for you---the same as the rich.

of course they do but income is a factor as well as tax deduction when it comes to taxes. Then there is state taxes which differentiate among the various states.

Trump pays more taxes in NY but he has more money.

Still Trump does help his rich buddies

President Trump has pardoned at least five well-connected people who either plead guilty or were convicted of tax fraud and other crimes. His clear message: If you have political influence

Cheat on your taxes and beg Trump for a pardon especially his rich buddies

Sounds like Forbes owes Trump something for stepping in.

How the Trump Organization cheated on taxes​

https://www.reuters.com/legal/how-trump-organization-cheated-taxes-2022-12-07/

Dec 6 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump's namesake company was found guilty on Tuesday of scheming to defraud tax authorities.
Alan Futerfas, a lawyer for the Trump Organization, said the verdict would be appealed.

 

[Couchpotato]

50 percent
Just like we used to

We don’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending one

 

[leftwinger]

Tax too much, the GDP drops. GOVT actually ends up with less once the dust settles.

They produce nothing of value (not at a decent ROI anyways). The create poverty and crime. But they get very rich fooling the Board Stain.

 

[TemplarKormac]

The wealthy are ok with it.

Are they?

Got any testimonials?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Complain about what?
I am simply referring to non-taxed company perks in lieu of salary, be it cars or stocks, buying personal items at corporate or business expense, so expenditure taxed at lower rates, with even more offsets. I am not that thrilled with income averaging, instead of yearly on what is made in a given year, 1031 exchanges to reinvest, shifting income to children through limited family partnership, IRC §1202 exemption that can let you exclude 100% of capital gains on sale of stocks and the tax that goes with it. Legal and approved? Sure, but 90% of Americans do not get the benefits. And, I am pretty sure there are some missed, if you have a good tax man. Of course, most average Americans do their own, and or, take the standard deduction, file and don't look back.

Then change the tax code! Oh, wait! All those rich people are the ones who write the tax code, don't they? Why don't you ***** and complain to the right people?

So now you're alledging tax fraud. It was using legal tax loop holes a couple posts back. I think you're grasping.
