The time to TAX THE POOR has come...

Hey you guys.....I know its bad form to derail my own thread but you have to see this. I stumbled onto this little clip by accident and thought it was funnier than hell! :laugh: Give it a quick watch....

 
He said he had applied to Harvard.

Harvard told him that they had a full janitorial crew but thanked him for applying.

I remember that. He's been scrubbing floors and cleaning the toilets at Burger Kind ever since. :laugh:
 
It is the right thing to do. For both THEM,...and the rest of us. This way they can feel like their life has value,... part of the American TEAM!

The wealthy already pay almost all the taxes in this country. The poor pay none, Zero,..Nada. Time for them to FINALLY kick in their fair share and put some skin in the game. Either pony up the dough and pay your fair share instead of being simply a taker,....OR....work community service and actually earn those entitlements. Which would you prefer?

How much in taxes do you pay?????
 
Totally wrong.

Take this one Stone, I’m tired of tutoring these dummies.

Sorry, the fact is the richest pay almost no payroll taxes, because most of their income is capital gains. It is the middle class and poor that pay the highest percent payroll taxes. Social Security taxes in particular are a flat tax until you reach $142.8k, and then they are capped. That means they are highly regressive, not progressive. Capital gains taxes allow deductions for business losses, which payroll, and earned income taxes do not allow. That is a major tax deduction.

Then there are state and local taxes. The rich pay a lower share of these. The top 1% pays an effective state and local tax rate of 7.4%, while the bottom 20% pays a rate of 11.4%. Rather than paying no state and local taxes, they pay higher state and local taxes.

In Texas, the top 1% pays 3.1% taxes, while the bottom 20% pays 13% taxes. In Florida, the top 1% pays 2.3% taxes, while the bottom 20% pay 12.7% taxes.

Yes, he once awakened his children for school...on a Saturday.

He is industrial strength weird.

Talk about creepy, bringing up a poster's children in a post about taxes. That is off the charts creepy, but what I have come to expect from you two.

Two years ago, in one post, I confused what day of the week it was. It is called "blursday", and as more and more people work longer hours, it happens more often. We forget what day of the week it is.

To show you how much I get right, they must keep referencing one minor mistake I made two years ago, which I immediately admitted, and which plays no important part in a debate.
 
The tax rates over time. https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/historical-highest-marginal-income-tax-rates They have been slashed by over 50 percent since Reagan. That puts incredible wealth and power in the hands of the few.
We are building a plutocracy and rightys are helping it because of their utter lack of understanding.

This is where the tax debate is: one side is bringing up facts, and the other side is making personal attacks on posters.

Somehow America had no problem having the strong growth of the 50's with a top marginal tax rate of 91%. Now Republicans tell us we will destroy America if the top marginal rate is not 0%. How is that possible?

"Bob" reminds me of Stone.
 
a regressive tax code does nothing but enrich the already wealthy. that's not good



What Is a Regressive Tax?

A regressive tax is one where the average tax burden decreases with income. Low-income taxpayers pay a disproportionate share of the tax burden, while middle- and high-income taxpayers shoulder a relatively small tax burden.
 
he is very weird I agree, probably carries candy corn in his pocket when visiting the park

Apparently, MAGA lacks the ability to discuss tax policy without violating Rule 12b. It is sad what the alt right has done to the once great conservatives.
