Taxing The Rich

[danielpalos]

Lol. Well that does it. You don’t want it so that’s the end of story.

Of course you’ve been duped by the wealthy to think as you do.

Our HC system is a total failure. Time to change it.

Only a fool would believe the people who created a problem would have a solution to it--author unknown.

Show us the express clause over the whole and entire concept of Immigration in our federal Constitution, right wingers.

Not taxing them isn’t working either. We can’t borrow forever.

but we can stop spending,,,

Abolish our right wing and alleged wars on crime, drugs, and terror!

The dems don’t understand economics or even math.
They think that the rich are somehow locked into staying in high tax areas. They think that their money can’t be moved into other countries.
They don’t realize that businesses can leave money overseas Instead of bringing it into the U.S. where it spends just as well there.
They don’t realize that businesses are not going to take a hit to the bottom line, they will just pass that hit onto higher prices for the consumer.

Raise the minimum wage to raise more tax revenue.

Raise minimum wage to increase prices for goods. Then minimum wage purchases the exact same amount of goods or services.
so it ends up as a wash other then it looks good.

No, it doesn't. Some studies show less than five percent increase in prices. Simply beating the rate of inflation means greater purchasing power for Labor and their propensity to consume. The doubling of the minimum wage will not result in a doubling of prices for anything.

So you're going to increase labor costs by 100% but claim that prices will only go up 5%? You're not the brightest bulb on the tree...are you, Daniel?

Due to minimum wage increases. Other wages could raise it more, but the pay increases need merely beat inflation. Who cares if prices go up if we can afford it with the higher wage. And, a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage also generates several times more in federal income tax revenue.

How does this work, Daniel? The profit margin of your typical brick and mortar store is less than 5%. Their largest expense will typically be payroll which you're now increasing by 100%. So where do you make up the difference?

Then figure in the additional cost of all goods and services that brick and mortar store will have to absorb because the cost of those will also have to increase. They'll pay more for insurance...for electric...for supplies...for EVERYTHING!

Prices won't double even if the minimum wage does. The multiplier effect does the rest.

Inflation happens regardless; only the minimum wage has not kept up with inflation.

I asked a rather simple question, Daniel...which you've failed to answer. How do you raise labor costs 100% in a business that only has a 5% profit margin and NOT raise the price of goods and services provided by that business?

[Zorro!]

The Democrat plans to tax the rich are futile and ignorant. They sound good to the uneducated, but they don't work very well. When you raise tax rates or reduce deductions on the rich, their typical response is to divert more of their money into tax shelters where they pay less tax. They can afford tax lawyers and CPAs who find ways to reduce their taxes dramatically and it's all legal.

Donald Trump knows how. For several years at a time, he paid no income tax. I don't know all the shelters he used but I can guess. One would be accelerated depreciation on the buildings and furniture he owns. Another would be Net Loss Carryover. When you have a loss in one year, the IRS Code allows you to deduct that loss on the returns for following years. If the NLC is large enough, it can give you zero tax liability for 5 or 6 years. Even people of moderate income can use tax shelters. I have 2 of them.

If you don't try and target the rich, they will pay a fair share of taxes just like everybody else. If you target them with high tax rates, they run for tax shelters.

We have never effectively taxed the rich, they make sure they have loopholes while the supposed increase on them is used to justify increasing the tax load on working and middle class that has less ability to evade the taxes.

We aren't under taxed.

17-18% is right about the level we are able to maintain long term.

I took Economics classes at UMass, Amherst College and Boston University. What is your background on the subject?

 

[Staidhup]

All I ask for is one example of a country that taxed their way to prosperity. Just one. While your at it one economic system that leads the world in Bio Technology, Technological innovation, while improving the standard of living of it citizens and that of the world. What government and economic system does the world come pounding on their doorstep for help when disaster hits?
