WAGETARDS LAMENT!!! Top 20% of EARNERS pay 84% on all INCOME TAX...

just say no to communism

OP is practicing Ordo ab Chao.

BTW what about guys like Bill Gates and MITT ROMNEY? We're just supposed to forget about them... because they don't pay income taxes?

And we STILL hear the "pay your fair share" bulls#it!

Bill Gates & Mitt Romney pay more taxes in 1 year than you and I will pay in our lifetimes...COMBINED!

Have you thanked a rich person today? For the roads you drive on? For the hospitals they donate to? For your EBT cards? For the schools you send your kids to?

if you're going to take 99% of the money you should be paying more than only 84% of the taxes

Yes, u should be grateful to your overlords. Pick yourselves out of your poverty and start producing.

Wow

Go out and earn your fuckin money and quit being a whiney little shit. Boo hoo hoo!

I hope science and technology keep advancing and progressing taking over so the machines do all the working and up skilling, entertaining and then the thinking. Keep up with the Joneses and keep buying new gadgets cars and houses full of apps and technology....may your lives be forever being upgraded and changed so that the machines do the evolving for you and mankind skill base can just flat line into dependency and mediocrity.

people realize income tax isn't the only tax people pay right?

...anyone?

I choose to make less, just so I don't hit a certain bracket. Progressive income tax is straight out of The Communist Manifesto.

Besides, they mismanage every dollar they collect to the n-th degree. Go ahead and work hard.

Another fact for you OP. That same 20% are the only ones who has seen a pay increase since 2008. The bottom 80% have seen their on pay go down since 2008. So we should just continue this path OP?
Is your next post about debt slaves have no right to live?
That is where this is going in the end.
You cannot have the few prosper while the masses suffer. It never has worked in history.

Fuck the rich, they got the money by treating the rest of humanity like slaves and trash. Tax free foundations and all the other loopholes they have. Rich people have a huge influence on how the tax code is written, after all congress is comprised of millionaires many times over.

Absolutely true, but it will scale in a similar manner with income. A person with more wealth will generally spend more and therefore pay more in sales taxes, property taxes, etc.

Ok--but don't forget about ss and Medicare which is taken out from the very first dollar of any job. It comes out to a high percentage if you' re low income.

Only fair system is small government and no taxes whatsoever taken out of a salary from a job.

and the top 1% pay 1%.

the real tax evaders are the 1% that own 99%of this nations wealth who are more involved in service to self at at the expense of the rest of the nations people and resources .

One reason that 93 million Americans no longer participate in the labor pool is because it's just not worth it anymore. Why the fuck bother?

Prove that with facts in the form of documents from the federal govt.

And here I am soaking up the system on your dime. Good looking out sport, good looking out indeed. Not really sure what I am more excited about ... my veterans compensation, the ebt, or my weekly unemployment check

Well take it easy, this student loan aint gonna spend itself.

We don't need NO stinkin' logic 'round these here parts of the internets!

Embedded taxation:

Break down a $1 candy bar.

Raw materials gatherers pay payroll taxes so that is added into the cost as that gets delivered to the factory.

The transportation of those raw materials costs money and payroll taxes for the drivers, mechanics, trucking company in addition to fuel taxes, road taxes, property taxes, licensing, tolls.

The raw materials are made into candy bars and there are taxes for payroll, factory property taxes, energy taxes, communications equipment taxes, license fees, disposal fees, etc.

Trucks are needed to get the candy bars from the factory to the warehouse. Then again from the warehouse to the store. More payroll taxes, property taxes, road taxes, tolls, etc.

Finally in the store! That store has employees that pay payroll taxes, company fees and property taxes, etc.

Your $1 candy bar is about 95% taxes embedded and buried.

"In this instance, Romney used the tax-exempt status of a charity -- the Mormon Church, according to a 2007 filing -- to defer taxes for more than 15 years. At the same time he is benefiting, the trust will probably leave the church with less than what current law requires, according to tax returns obtained by Bloomberg this month through a Freedom of Information Act request."

...

"CRUTs were more common in the 1990s when capital gains rates were higher. In 1996, when Romney set up his trust in Massachusetts, the federal rate was 28 percent, compared with 15 percent today. At the time, a Massachusetts state resident who sold shares for a gain of $1 million could have faced a combined state and federal capital gains tax of as much as 40 percent, reducing his take to $600,000.
By contrast, if he contributed the stock to a CRUT, and it sold the shares, it typically wouldn’t owe any tax since it is a charitable trust. The CRUT could reinvest the $1 million and earn a return on the full amount."


For every poor sucker I'll show you a rich sucker sucking more.

So if we did away with those taxes the cost of manufactured goods, and everything in general would go down 95%?

Here's the deal. You give back the wealth you stole from the American middle class with your government backed trade systems like NAFTA and the World Trade Organization and we'll be happy to pay more in taxes.

They don't have to give it back because we're taking it and more.

Scorched earth up in this mother fucker.

Pay me to do it, Mister 1%er.

Dear Sir,

It is with a heavy heart that I must explain the ways of the world to you for your own good. There's only so much money a person can spend. Spending all your time chasing it while screwing others is a sure fire way to die bitter and alone. You don't truly live, you go through the motions. The best things in life are free but if you persist on taking more and leaving none for the masses, they will kill you. I'm not making it up, it's human nature.

Repent and lobby for more monopoly laws before your children are killed. Society doesn't want to eat cake anymore. We want the steak.

Consider it a hostile takeover.
