Billionaires Use Tax Loophole To Lower Their Tax Rates To 1 Percent | ThinkProgress

Since the OWS movement has started, the conversation has shifted from the debt and deficit to JOBS and income inequality. Even the unctuous little twerp, Eric Cantor and the Budget Munster, Paul Ryan have been discussing income inequality. That can only be seen as a victory for the OWS movement.

Another victory for OWS comes from Bank of America who have decided NOT to charge people a ridiculous fee for using their debit cards.

Keep the pressure on!!!

What exactly is income equality?

Good question. Since you can't tell by a still photograph. Nor can you tell from an edited video. But they have been warned time and again about sticking within the laws and ordinances. I don't feel sorry for them. Locally they were given until midnight to remove they're tent and burn barrel and other implements of a camp. When they refused the police moved in and confiscated it all. They were very disappointed that they didn't get arrested.

So vote for representatives who will change the tax codes and close the loopholes. Both sides of the coin have complained of this for decades.....

I call them stupid young fools myself. And I doubt they will affect many changes if any at all, by their so called civil disobedience. It doesn't take much to see their support from main stream America fading away fast. They have supporters like SEIU, and the commie party.... MS America won't play that way.........

Explain to me how "forced lending" in the United States brought down the economy of Iceland.

Explain to me how Iceland is the United States??? Explain the similarities between legislation(s)?

Explain to me the population of those on welfare in Iceland??? oh yeah - no numbers because they're all welfare fucks now...

Here is a little fact pony boy - there are more fucks living on welfare in the US then the entire population of Iceland...

These are the same pricks that benefited off forced lending not to mention about 10 million more...

Welfare has nothing to do with this.

Wall Street ran a derivatives Ponzi scheme that brought down the world economy.

You really need to do a little reading.

Oh..You think you get to throw a country that is little more than a volcanic rock with the idea you can create a diversion.
Then you get called on your inane bullshit and it's a do over..
All Western European social welfare states are buried in debt.
Iceland is no different.
You have no clue.
You just throw out a bunch of invectives like mud against a wall to see what sticks.
I cannot believe that anyone with half a brain would think your crap would work.
We're all on to you rookie.

[thereisnospoon]

Wall Street ran a $516 trillion dollar derivatives Ponzi scheme that destroyed the world economy.

How's that for a crime?

Prove it...

What destroyed the economy was forced lending bitch by the the democratic federal government under Bill Clinton...

Banks NEVER wanted to lend to you, nor did they ever desire to lend to you but they were forced to via the CRA and its Amendments in 1993 and 94...

Yeah shit for brains - you tend to get a bad economy when people borrow money and NEVER pay it back... Solid investors tend to LOSE ALL THEIR FUCKING MONEY THAT WAY..

Why are you such a willing stooge for Wall Street?

Chris is the stooge for Wall Street. He is using the DJIA to make his point that the economy is improving. Out of the other side of his yapper, he's cursing Wall Street.
You libs have no idea what you want. As long as it's "something else".

Patriots? Please...
"Inequities"...You people want nothing to do with equality. You want equality of outcome.
If you feel unequal, go to school, improve your skills, start a business. Don't come bitching to others about your problems. Nobody cares to listen to chronic complainers.
All OWS people are whiny, greedy complaining do nothings.

Another well thought out non sequitur.
Proof is your enemy.
Countless charts and statistics show you are dead wrong on this.
To people like you , the mere existence of wealthy people is a crime.
"it's not fair for some people to have all that money" Right comrade?
Is it your assumption that if higher taxes were instituted that some of the bounty would somehow land in your lap?
What makes you so arrogant that you believe you are entitled to one thin dime of other people's money?
And let's say for a moment the top rate goes to 90%, at what level should that kick in? All of it? Let's say we kowtow to the OWS beggars and let's say the national cap on wages is $100,000 per year( of course politicians would exclude themselves) what would government do with the money?

I guess they shouldn't be out there breaking the law.......

That simple fact is lost on the vast majority of the libs...

The Clinton years showed the effects of a large tax increase that Clinton pushed through in his first year, and that Republicans incorrectly claim is the "largest tax increase in history." It fell almost exclusively on upper-income taxpayers. Clinton’s fiscal 1994 budget also contained some spending restraints. An equally if not more powerful influence was the booming economy and huge gains in the stock markets, the so-called dot-com bubble, which brought in hundreds of millions in unanticipated tax revenue from taxes on capital gains and rising salaries.

Clinton’s large budget surpluses also owe much to the Social Security tax on payrolls. Social Security taxes now bring in more than the cost of current benefits, and the "Social Security surplus" makes the total deficit or surplus figures look better than they would if Social Security wasn’t counted. But even if we remove Social Security from the equation, there was a surplus of $1.9 billion in fiscal 1999 and $86.4 billion in fiscal 2000. So any way you count it, the federal budget was balanced and the deficit was erased, if only for a while.FactCheck.org : The Budget and Deficit Under Clinton

Thank God
he had a Republican congress to keep his liberal tendencies
in check

Besides

The economic defense of the Clinton tax hikes does not hold up against the historical facts; economic growth during the 1990s, but rapid growth did not occur soon after the tax hike—it came later in the decade, when Congress cut taxes.
After the 1993 tax hike, the economy actually slowed to a point below what one would expect

Tax hikes slow growth
sorry but that is the truth
no matter how much you choose to ignore it

I always get a big kick out of liberals citing Bill Clinton as the man responsible for balanced budgets back then...if memory serves me the Republican House under Newt Gingrich made Clinton submit 4 different budgets before agreeing to one.

Agree, don't forget it was tax increases that saved us

Don't forget
The overall economic recovery started well before President Clinton took office. In January 1993, the economy was in the 22nd month of expansion following the recession from ending in March 1991.

Remember when the MSM and Left cried how the first Bush's unemployment rate of 6 and 7 percent was the end of the world

Now at 9 percent, hardly a mention
Funny how that works


Of course, if Papa Obama gets to 7 percent, it would the greatest recover of all time
Funny how that works too

Really, Papa Obama should have skipped that whole Pork Bill and just
raise taxes to save the economy

I would have to state that Clinton who was no economic genius, surrounded himself with some very smart people who advised him to leave the economy alone.
On the other hand, liberals believe that wealth is better suited in the hands of politicians rather than the people that earned it.
