Taxing The Rich

[Eric Stratton]

I have made my living working in the area of tax law. We also have a progressive tax system that taxes higher taxable income more than lower. We have an estate and gift tax system that is quite generous but still exposes the rich to substantial tax on their accumulated wealth.

Given the amount of taxes needed to support a liberal utopian budget can never be produced by taxing the rich alone, where do you liberal stooges think it will come from?

 

[Brain357]

It’s mostly why it had a small uptick. You don’t seem to get it.

I get it, your claim was wrong.

Why were the gains so small with really low unemployment? Market is broken.

Might have something to do with millions of illegal aliens?

Trump got rid of those. Mexico paid for that wall right?

Unfortunately, he didn't get rid of those.

He failed again?

No, it’s slow wage growth. Without the gains from MW increases it’s really slow growth.

Without the gains from MW increases it’s really slow growth.

Without the 10.256% from the MW hikes (which is much less than your "mostly" claim),
wage growth would have been 3.5%.

Yes, really weak given the unemployment rate. The market is broken obviously.

It's true, your "mostly" claim was really, really far from correct.

Without that boost there really was no uptick.

Clearly decreasing taxes isn’t working.

Raise the federal minimum wage! Right wingers insist some people will have to be let go with the higher wage.

 

[danielpalos]

Only a pirate or a gangster tries to rob the rich just because they have money.

Only stupid, self-entitled people favor continuing to rob the poor just because they have no money.

The poor have the EIC to create a negative tax $$ environment for them.

Raise the minimum wage so the Poor can pay their share of the tax burden!

Let's start with your right wing, alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror; that was never any part of any liberal utopia. Only right wingers proclaim those "conservative" utopia policies (on a for-profit basis) are necessary.

My opinion is that everybody should be paying income taxes, even if it's not a huge share. A little less than half of the people in our country pay no income tax at all. There are 260 million adults in the US, and 110 million people chipping something in something would be a huge help. I would like to see a consumption tax myself, say 5 cents on every dollar spent. This way everybody has a dog in the race and will be more frugal when it comes to their politicians needlessly spending money on things like free college and government healthcare.

That doesn’t sound very republican. You must be pissed trump cut taxes and increased spending.

Not at all and how in the name of all that's Holy did you come to an inane conclusion like that? Never mind, you brain farted and you thought that you had a thought.

It's a very Republican comment by me because our platform is to treat people equally or as close as we can to it.

The republican way is to cut taxes, increase military spending and increase debt. Nobody pays for it.

I know, without that tiny 10%, the other 90% doesn't matter.

Republicans just cut taxes and don’t pay for anything. The debt just grows and grows...

The 90% wasn’t really an uptick.

Again, such weak growth shows our markets are broken.

When business increases, profits increase and taxes increase too. When business decreases, profits decrease and taxes stay the same. So people get fired.

Nothing in that negates my statement. Nice try neophyte.

When republicans cut taxes and increase military spending deficits increase rapidly.
