Question

Remember that those people who make the most in this life are reliant on the most .
Its the roads we all pay for they use to ship products .Its the shopping malls that need waste water run off systems and waste water treatment . Its our entire infrastructure that supports businesses .
Today they choose to run out on us taking the Jobs where new offices and factories are cheaper to build and the jobs they want us for is building vacation homes and serving them dinners in 5 star eatery's, washing their laundry and cars and clipping hedges and mowing lawns .
Nursing them back to health and working for them for the lowest wages possible based on the number of available workers willing to do the job correctly .
I do not feel bad about taxing others at a higher rate then the vast majority of people .
Billionaires will not lose sleep and their kids will not skip a meal or miss out on dental care If we tax them more .
You think people would stop because you tax them more .LOL

The people who earn hundreds of millions of dollars do so because they are driven like alcoholics to the bar the are driven to work and no matter what you tax them they will continue to do it .
Its a lot of crap to say if we tax the rich more they will quit working .
You can not stop these people . 300 million and I am retired right . Thats what you would say but you will keep on doing what you do . Cause change is always hard to accept

Answer 1

Generally speaking, I think that taxes are a good thing. They pay for some much needed services. The problem is that poorer people pay a higher percentage of their income that people that make six figures. Why? In a word, deductions. Interest you pay (such as in a mortgage) is deductable. So are education expenses. Also, the last few tax breaks have only benefited the people that make the most. Why is this? I personally don't believe that just because I got knocked up, that I should get an extra $1000 back every year. The whole system is messed up. But it is not just the individual, it is the companies as well. Many set up "corporate offices" in tax-free countries that consist of a receptionist at a telephone in order to avoid taxes. I believe that if you make money in the US, you should pay US taxes. And if you don't want to pay taxes, well, I hear UAE is beautiful this time of year.

Answer 2

The tax system could be rendered much less regressive if we just abolished Social Security - for the lower-income worker, that would aproximately halve his tax burden (more if the employer contributions could be captured for the worker, which is unlikely).

Sales taxes also tend to be regressive.

And, we do have a progressive income tax, just with fewer brackets than it used to have.


The genuinely rich don't really work, they derrive income from investments, businesses, and the like. Where you invest is very flexible, and hiding such income isn't a big challenge when you can hire bright accountants and lawyers, either, so 'soak the rich' rarely works out, because the rich can always avoid taxes - ultmately by the expedient of taking thier wealth to some other country, if the provocation is extreme enough.

Simiarly, those workers who are high-income can be discouraged by high marginal income taxes - not from working at all, but from working as much, or from persuing non-work income opportunities in the community levying the taxes.

The phenomenon of higher marginal tax rates resulting in lower tax collection has actually happened, as has the reverse. So, it's not just crazy talk.

IRS Terrified of Questions About Section 861
http://www.etherzone.com/2003/shie100903.shtml

FOR YEARS We've demanded to be shown any law that makes the average working American liable for the income tax, and the IRS cannot show us any law allowing it to take the fruits of our hard labor!!
http://truthattack.org/

FOR YEARS We've sat meekly by watching the IRS and it's DOJ cronies and sock-puppet courts thumb their noses at the law and chop away at our numbers, punishing any who dare to ask and gagging any who dare to tell!!

FOR YEARS We've watched the federal government use money stolen and wrested from our families and communities to fund new, unauthorized agencies and extend its control over far more than those limited powers we gave it, ruling every nook and cranny of our lives!!

FOR YEARS We've TALKED THE TALK! NOW IT'S TIME TO WALK THE WALK!!!

There are already hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans out there who have been asking and have been waiting, but we've asked enough times and we've waited long enough to know the TRUTH:

THERE IS NO LAW!!!! Making the average American liable for the income tax!!

Today's Income Taxes as Applied are Illegal!

Nothing is what it seems to be.

One of those areas where nothing is what it seems to be is government, in particular American government. A patriot soon learns that he has been lied to for generations... and no one seems to care. The words credited to the rich and powerful Rothschild Brothers are this:
The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages...will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without complaint, and perhaps without suspecting that the system is inimical ["Injurious or harmful in effect; adverse"] to their best interests.

But some of us are waking up and choosing to accept this alter reality no matter how ugly it may be compared with the current fiction in which we live most of our lives, not unlike the movie The Matrix.

Nowhere is that alter reality so prevalent than in regards to the Income Tax.
Today's Income Taxes are Illegal!

Answer 4

because of the fact to accomplish that is an open attempt at making a slave classification! Come on, you're able to do greater proper than that. rich human beings USE greater of the commons than much less rich human beings. Their gadget that creates the wealth be it farming, production, laptop programming, or in simple terms undeniable funds manipulation makes use of greater supplies. because of the fact of this there's a tiered device. If all people in simple terms paid say, 15% taxes, do you recognize what u . s . a . could be? a third international usa run via land barrons. As for the unemployed doing public service via regulation... You sir are fired... Your interest, as for this reason of the lobbying efforts of my mega business enterprise and it truly is many automobiles, is now seen a public service, we've an unemployed guy on the way in this afternoon... Hmm.. properly, so which you assert you're unemployed now too? We could have some public service you need to do, on an identical time as you seek for a real interest... Do you truly need to flow down that highway?

Answer 5

I would love graduated tax system back.

Simple numbers, with no loopholes. No specials for certain groups or corporations.

Let those who make the least, not have to pay taxes out of their already small income. Start the taxing at $100,000+ earners and our budget would still balance.

Answer 6

Taxes on the rich doesn't solve anything. They will just stop producing taxable income and keep the money invested to avoid the taxes. Taxing income only hurts the middle class and it will never affect the wealthy. All it does is make it harder to become wealthy.

Answer 7

Flat tax would fix many problems. It would place an end to the loop holes, the higher the income, the more they pay, etc. And it's fair for everyone.

Answer 8

Taxes are good for the working class because that way services will be free at their disposal.
