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

[bedowin62]

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

Only a numskull and a thug would think looting $500 biliion is a good idea. No nation ever taxed its way to prosperity.

Weird, I showed taxing the "job creators" WOULD wipe out the deficit completely, blowing the original posters posit out of the water. Thanks for TRYING to change the subject though Bubba

a left-wing idiot trying to "note" somebody elses inability to be honest is hilarious!!

from january of 2007 until january of this year Dems were a majority of the US government, having all 3 parts of the lawmaking process, or 2 of the three parts.

before that dems voted for nearly every single one of the policies they are pretending they had nothing to do with, pretending they tried to oppose

Yes, your ability to note party versus ideology is noted Bubba. But lets totally forget the hole the GOP/Dubya put US ion after 6 years of their "free market" works policies? You know the worst recession since Harding/Coolidge's depression?

 

[bedowin62]

Yes.............

To whom more is given, more is required............

And indeed the top 25% of America's earners currently carry 86% of the federal personal income tax load while the bottom 49% get a free ride.
So how much of the load should the top earners carry?
96%?
106%?

Yep the top 25% pay 85% of the INCOME tax load (which is less than 50% of ALL federal revenues) yet they "earn" 70% of ALL income. HMM


And the bottom 50% "free riders" make about 11% of ALL US income, a reduction of the pie of nearly $5,000 PER family since Reaganomics. Go figure they are not paying that piece of the pie less than 50% of fed revenues, INCOME taxes!

you say "since Reaganomics" without a shred of irony left-wing nutjob. you DO realize Mr Know-it-all that so many Democrats in congress voted for Reagan's policies the term Reagan Democrat was coined?

you DO realize Reagan had a Dem-majority House all 8 years?


libs are losers who lie to themselves

And a GOP Senate for 6. AND? Reaganomics IS a failure, whoever supported it dummy!

Reagan Dem was the VOTERS who did that, NOT lawmakers idiot boy!

no sorry leftard; a reagan democrat was a dem in congress OR a democrat voter that supported reagans' policies

try again ok?

Unlike the GOP, the Dems don't generally play to the base by bringing up bills without a chance of passing. But thanks for agreeing, liberal math actually works versus conservatives who want to use ideology with their "math"....

A Reagan Democrat is a traditionally Democratic voter in the United States, especially a white working-class Northerner, who defected from their party to support Republican President Ronald Reagan in either or both the 1980 and 1984 elections.

To stupid or young to understand up until about 1993, Congress actually worked among parties for the best interest of America? The GOP went SOOOOO far right with Newts BS Bubs, THAT'S when Gov't started to fail as a working part of Gov't!

Hmmm. yeah, actually the do that all the time. They definitely pass bills that they know a Republican president will veto. That's been their standard operating procedure for decades.

Oh you mean as CONGRESS they pass bills that the Prez threatens a veto on? But unlike the GOP, they don't bring up to many "base bills" that have zero chance of passing a House of Congress, to even get to the Prez?

Think "person hood" bills (what about 30 last year???) lol

 

[ScienceRocks]

If they use our infrastructure more, police more or economy more...Well, they should pay a higher percentage in taxes. It is fair.

 

[bedowin62]

LOOK AT THIS LOON CRYING that people he's lecturing dont know anything, and the people they elected; got and continue to get the best of the brightest Progressive minds

too stupid to see what it looks like

96%?
106%?

But this avoids the fact that the top 25% of Americans probably use about 90% or more of the usage of government services.

Are they paying their way? Probably not.

Just showing statistics about how much someone pays doesn't mean that they're paying too much.

Where did you get your information? Is that of the top of your head or has it been established somewhere? If so can you provide the link? Thank you.

It was in response to the previous post. It's not possible to give a statistic for what I said, simply because it'd be impossible to take every small thing and work out how much every person uses govt funding.

You'd need to figure out how much of a percentage these people use the roads. I mean, take statistics for private use and take it for corporate use. These stats just don't exist.

So it's is BS and you made it up. Thanks.

SIGH

once again the bills Dem Senate Leader refused to bring to the floor for debate, "personhood bills" or not weren denied a voted not because they had no chance of passing, many had already passed the House with bi-partisan votes; they didnt get a voted because the WOULD HAVE PASSED

libs are losers who lie to themselves

 

[bedowin62]

t took a while, but the media seem to have finally noticed Senate majority leader Harry Reid’s unprecedented obstructionism. The New York Times reported last week on Reid’s “brutish style” and “uncompromising control” over the amendments process in the Senate. Why are more people finally catching on to Reid’s flagrant disregard for Senate customs? In part because conservatives aren’t the only ones complaining. Democrats such as Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota — who wants to repeal Obamacare’s medical-device tax — and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York — who has waged a highly publicized campaign to reform the way the military handles sexual-assault cases — have been denied votes on their proposed amendments to various bills. Gillibrand had hoped to attach her sexual-assault amendment to the defense-appropriations bill that passed in December, but no amendments were allowed. Klobuchar has called for “a more open amendment process” because she’d like a vote on repealing the medical-device tax.
