What I want is all taxpayers treated the same.
For some reason…you think the rich should be treated better. It’s the bartered spouse syndrome. You’re sick

You’ve heard the saying “the rich get richer”. This is one of the ways they do so.
Can we get back to the thread topic that the OP is a fucking imbecile?
healthmyths literally posted, "Folks... I deal with the facts..." and "... versus Obama's $6.98 Trillion or nearly 109% increase over Obama's revenue from 2014-2017..."
And he posted the numbers ...
![]()
He actually took these figures....
2014: 3,064,301,358
2015: 3,302,677,258
2016: 3,333,449,083
2017: 3,416,714,139
Totaled them up .... and moronically calculated their sum equals "$6.98 trillion." And he called that a "fact."

FACTS
1) I was wrong in the addition.
Something that Pawn will never do though, admit a mistake ! Because he is too pompous!
Thanks. I pulled a healthmyths and fucked it up, missing the Money amounts are in thousands of dollars part. Fixed it.
2) But the premise that tax cuts didn't work.... that Pawn keeps making is proven WRONG!
Even with my wrong math and I admit it after correcting it in the below the FACT is
Trump tax cuts worked! Trump had 12% MORE revenue than Obama's last 4 years.
Note where the increase came from Individual tax increased 15% but wait doesn't that affect the non-wealthy tax payer? Well look at "OTHER" i.e. SS/Medicare increases 15%!!! Translates into more non-wealthy were working!

LOLOLOL
And yet, here I am, doing what you claim I'm too pompous to do...
Ironic part is, until now, YOU'RE the one who refused to acknowledge you fucked up your numbers. When I first brought it to your attention, you ignored your bullshit figures and tried switching up the years. Of course, that too failed you.
You're lying again. Trump did not have 12% more revenue. Again, you're ignoring inflation and playing with nominal figures.
Again, in 2021 dollars, Trump edged out Obama $14.6t to $14.5t. A difference of about 0.7%. And that was because the trend started by Obama of job growth continued for most of Trump's one and only term.
OK let's look at that again from inflation point of view...
View attachment 688865
So AFTER inflation Trump still had 11.38% more revenue than Obama EVEN after Trump tax cuts.
Finally you haven't responded to the CBO's chart that follows:

They pay higher taxes for one reason. They make more money.Yes, the federal government is subsidizing the high taxes imposed in blue states. If you don’t want to pay such ridiculously high taxes, vote the Democrats out of office, but don’t expect the federal government to allow you to write off an extreme amount to cover for local Democratic stupidity.
YupBecause they don’t pay it past this arbitrary level. Not that hard to figure out.
You’ve heard the saying “the rich get richer”. This is one of the ways they do so.
Yup
The rich get richer for one simple reason. They can afford to and for no other reason. They aren’t spending their last dollar on food
TL, DR, DC.Hmmm... Let's see... I at one time early in my career worked for a yacht builder. I and my fellow 100 employees
were very glad to have those evil wealthy rich spend anywhere from $500,000 and upwards of $10,000,000,
for a new yacht. But of course pompous and ignorant people like you don't seem to understand what happens to "evil" rich wealthy peoples' wealth! Here is what many of "evil", rich, wealthy do with their wealth.
Angel investors are private investors that are wealthy individuals who invest in startups, usually at the early stages. Sometimes angel investors pool their money with other angel investors, forming an investor pool.
The typical angel investor is someone who’s net worth is likely in excess of $1 million or who earns over $200,000 per year. Incidentally, those look a lot like the credentials of an accredited investor.

FACT:Summary of the Latest Federal Income Tax Data
View attachment 689042
- The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97 percent of all individual income taxes,
- while the bottom 50 percent paid the remaining 3 percent.
- The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (38.8 percent)
- than the bottom 90 percent combined (29.2 percent).
So $147,000 X 6.2% equals $9,200 while the SS tax of 6.2% is NOT the same on $147,000?If you make $147K, you pay the same taxes as everyone else.
If you make $148K, you don't pay the same taxes as everyone else.
