What do you like about the opposition party?

[StinkHole]

Gee I didn't think you'd mind.

Wait, you must mean Ann Coulter.

My bad, you're no Ann Coulter sport...you fit the mold of a Rosie O'Donnell, physically I bet, and certainly intellectually.

[calfoxwc]

Well, Chrisemotionalkneejerk....

 

Romney donated millions in charitabe donations. You're mad you can't do that, too?

What the hell is this liberal crap, about "well, they have so much money they should pay

for everything" anyways?

 

What a sissy way to live. The rich folks should pay your way because they have more money.

He is a human being, too. I think all people are created equal, and should pay the same

flat tax. You should read up on subjects you want to bitch about. Try it - it's very enlightening.

You want to make a law that says "NO MORE DEDUCTIONS FOR CHARITABLE GIVING" ??

Okay, go ahead. And watch corporations and individuals STOP DONATING.

 

Wowee, that would be a great liberal emotional knee jerk thing, eh Chris?

 

BTW, do you know how much the Clintons pay? Obamao?

Chris thinks that people who make 100,000 bucks should donate

4 million bucks to charity.

Do you even try to look for the point as it goes flying by you?

 

If I'm earning $50k, I pay a set amount of tax, maybe 20%. If it's $100k, it's a higher amount, about 25%. Yet, when people see Mitt Romney earning $20m, and paying 14%, people ask 'what's up with that?' John Kerry earning $5m, paying about the same tax rate will (should) elicit the same response.

 

There's very much a perception that personal tax rates, which in most people's mind should if not go up, at least stay the same, actually go down when you hit a certain amount of wealth and income, because the rich people can afford to pay people to tie all the taxes up in a neat little bow for them in offshore accounts, 'charitable donations' and the rest. These options would technically be available to everybody, but Joe Schmuck earning $30k can't afford to pay someone to do that, so has to pay everything.

 

Does that make sense to you now?

Yes, you can say leftist bunk flies past me Chris.

 

This "pay their fair share " that comes from the left is for the simple minded dumb fucks who keep voting for them..

 

"From President Obama to Hillary Clinton to Elizabeth Warren, on down, the entire Democratic Party is invested in a false narrative about the relative burden of federal income taxes, and about freedom and opportunity in the American economy.

 

“The rich don’t pay their fair share,” “the deck is stacked against you,” and “the middle class is being squeezed,” they tell the nation they have been leading. But the truth is just the opposite. The latest, official, U.S. government data for 2014 shows that “the rich” pay far more than their fair share of federal income taxes. That is most recently demonstrated in a report from the Tax Policy Center, which is a project of two liberal organizations, the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution.

 

The top 1 percent of income earners, which the Democratic Party and its increasingly far left base teach us to revile, pays 45.7 percent of all federal income taxes, which is roughly three times its 17.1 percent share of income. Just the top 1 percent pays nearly half of all federal income taxes. Its fair share would be about one third of that, which is its share of national income.

 

Who are the top 1 percent? Movie stars and professional athletes, at the top of their respective professions, are actually the perfect examples. Because the top 1 percent are simply the best at what they do in every profession — law, medicine, business, finance, art, authors, fashion designers, architects, etc. Entrepreneurs who successfully start and run their own small businesses, which are the source of most new jobs, represent the surest route to the top 1 percent.

 

The hard work, dedication, and educational achievement necessary to reach the top of any profession are exactly the character traits responsible parents try to instill in their children. Childish and silly are the most accurate words that apply to those carrying on a campaign of vilification and hatred against the top 1 percent.

 

The top 20 percent pay essentially all federal income taxes, at 83.9 percent of the total, while earning 51.9 percent of total U.S. income. Praiseworthy is the word that applies to those with the dedication to their professions to carry this load.

 

The true middle class, the middle 20 percent of income earners, works hard too, but pays only 5.9 percent of all federal income taxes, while earning about three times that share of national income at 14.8 percent. The poorest bottom 20 percent earn only 4.5 percent of national income, primarily because its members mostly do not work, some for better reasons than others.

 

But this bottom 20 percent does not pay any federal income taxes. It receives money from the IRS instead, equaling 2.2 percent of all federal income taxes paid. That results from refundable tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit. “Refundable” means the full amount of the tax credit is paid to the individual even if that amount is more than the individual owes in taxes, resulting in a net payment due from the IRS to the individual.

 

That is true of the next lowest 20 percent as well. The entire bottom 40 percent of Americans pays zero, zip, nada of federal income taxes. Again, it is paid by the IRS instead, due to the refundable tax credits.

 

If the Democrats are so out of touch with reality, how can they possibly lead the country? Trying to pile more and more taxes on the narrow minority who are the primary source of the nation’s savings and investment would just drag the economy further and further down. Under such blind policies, the economy would never recover its traditional, booming, American prosperity. Indeed, the constant threat of still more confiscatory taxation, and persistent threat of still more overregulation, are the primary reasons the economy never has recovered from the last recession."

So Chris, what benefits to society/economy would emerge if those legal loopholes were made illegal?

 

Maybe it would sink in better if explained in cartoon form, by a prof at a liberal college at that...except that there are numbers involved, hope that won't be too much a problem for you..

Good luck Chris

You meant that as a rhetorical question right?
