"Killing The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs" -- Aesop's Fables
"A cottager and his wife had a Goose that laid a golden egg every day. They supposed that the Goose must contain a great lump of gold in its inside, and in order to get the gold they killed it. Having done so, they found to their surprise that the Goose differed in no respect from their others.
The foolish pair, thus hoping to become rich all at once, deprived themselves of the gain of which they were assured day by day."
Now to all you obviously IGNORANT "tax the rich" of the above Fable.. remember..
A) This is a FABLE... It means it describes in childish terms realities of the world and while there ARE NO golden eggs.. THERE are people that create jobs!
B) The Majority of the job creators are for shame "wealthy"!!
C) The IRS tables... FACTS folks.. show that in 2009 for example: AND Please Down load the FACTS.. The realities of tax payments by the "wealthy"!!!
FACTS:
1) Total tax returns over $200,000 adjustable income 3.895 million taxpayers
2) Paid $405 billion of the $865 billion in taxes or 46%
These "golden Geese" ALREADY pay nearly 40% of the $1.015 trillion paid in personal taxes AND AND many people don't COUNT in as TAXES paid those Employers' share of payroll taxes which constitutes 53% of the payroll taxes.
Payroll taxes accounted for $818 billion in 2011 (Social security/Medicare) of which 53% paid by employers or $436 billion in 2011.
Add $436 billion of Employer share of SS/Medicare to $405 billion in taxes for payers over $200,000 total taxes $800 billion of $1.4 trillion in personal/payroll or nearly 60% of Federal Income/payroll taxes paid by taxpayers reporting over $200,000!
So YOU people that want to KILL the geese that pay nearly 60% of all Income/payroll (for which the employers get NO RETURN like employees get payments) taxes !
Again just to remind you that seem to forget this:
Employers GET NO benefits from paying 53% of the payroll taxes (SS/Medicare) that are paid OUT in form of retirement checks to employees from SS/Medicare.
Employers Pay TAXES on corporate earnings PLUS taxes on their salaries, PLUS taxes on the dividends that are paid out and taxes on capital gains!
So Kill the golden geese i.e. those Wealthy people making over $200,000 a year and you kill society!
