Debunking Liberal Myths About the Rich and the Capital Gains Tax

[Cellblock2429]

Watch the wealthy ride off into the sunset with it. They're not going to just let you take it.

/—-/ Corporations and the wealthy will always outsmart the morons in Washington.

Not for those making $519K in earnings

You need to compare apples to apples in tax rates
15 percent is less than anyone making over $100 k

The difference is that in order to make capital gains you have to actually risk capital. The gain unlike an hourly wage isn’t guaranteed, the Government doesn’t cut a check for 15% of your losses

A that’s just not true
B even if it were true why would it be relevant?

Idiot if it isn't true why would you care about its relevance. They did a study on that point and all they did is ask if these wealthy people were they self made or not. and just about every one said they were totally self made hero's , So for years and years now they have been saying that only a small percentage of people got the money from Mommy and Daddy. and that 85% were self made . THAT'S A lie. Its handed down from Mommy and Daddy. You know free riders. Then they hand them trillions more by only taxing at 15%. That is nuts. Like I said free ride.

Calm down Francis. Just because you are a failure doesn’t mean everyone else is too.

They don’t cut you a check but you can annualize those losses over several years or offset them over gains in other investments
