Should The Rich Be Required To Pay Higher Taxes In the US?

There is no real purpose in taxing the rich more of their income because there simply isn't enough income among the rich to even close the Obama deficit, much less pay for anything new.


Weird, the top 1% had $1,976,738 ($1.97 TRILLION) in income in 2012, thew latest year with only $451,328 ($451 BILLION) in income taxes (an EFFECTIVE rate of 22.8%) IF we just doubled the effective rat\r the US would have another $451 billion, does that help US in revenues?

Top 5% had $3,330,944 ($3.3 TRILLION) in income and only paid $698,543 ($698 Billion) in taxes, 21.0% EFFECTIVE tax rates. What if we had another $698 billion?

BTW, this years deficit is projected to be $486 billion

Typical communist scumbag............Take nearly half their earnings for justice, without doing any dang cuts whatsoever.................They, like in the past will offshore their money even more than now to avoid your dumb assed plans to rape them.

We spend too dang much in this country. We spend more than the GDP of any other nation in the world and if you can't think of anyway to cut it other than gutting the military then you are a complete idiot.

Well................you are an idiot..............Now go ask daddy uncle sam for your Fing allowance,


Fukkn liar, the US is VERY low taxed compared to other nations, AND YES, CONSIDERING THE US ECONOMY IS THE SIZE OF THE ENTIRE UE'S, I EXPECT TO SPEND A LOT, MORON! AND the top 1/10th of 1% pay about 1/3rd what they did historically, 1945-1980, when the US had more patriots in their "job creator" classes!!!


HALF? lol

Gee listening and reading the posts of these left-wing nutjobs you'd thinnk there are no gazillionaire left-wingers out there, having given all their wealth to the less fortunate

i guess they are waiting for others to make the first move.................


Yeah, because THAT'S the way Gov't functions, by "giving" by choice, not Gov't policy like taxes. If the US had followed the conservatives, we would still have a tiny middle class, no social safety nets, the environment would still look like China today (smog), the "job creators" would still have company stores and we'd be speaking German!!!!
 
YES WE NEED TAX RATES FROM AN ERA WHEN WE REALLY DID HAVE IMPERIALISTIC HEGEMONY AND....
chinese were still riding around on bicycles in gray pantsuits

and we used to fund WWII and the Cold War

libs are idiots in a time warp

How

Low Are U.S. Taxes Compared to Other Countries?

As for the richest one or two percentiles of earners, we come in at practically the same place: 53rd-highest.

tax%20rates%20world%20ranking%20300k.jpg


But these numbers might understate how low taxes have been in the U.S.
Unlike most advanced economies, the U.S. don't supplement personal income taxes with a national sales tax, or value-added tax (VAT). Consumption taxes accounted for about a fifth of total U.S. revenue in 2008 (mostly at the state and local level) compared to an OECD average of 32 percent. In other words, the U.S. relies uniquely on personal tax rates to raise revenue -- and we have relatively low personal tax rates.
