The rich don’t pay their fair share.

[task0778]

When I was in the military, federal tax withholding was calculated at 28 percent. If you also had to pay state tax, then an additional 4 percent was withheld. I know these things because I worked in the Personnel office.

This is not true, none of it. The FITW for military is determined the same as for everyone else out of the military, you declare how many exemptions you have, and together with however much your adjusted gross income is, the FITW is computed. There's no way in hell a private pays the same 28% that a general might pay. And the withholding for state taxes depends on the state, it is NOT a flat 4%.

ABS may have worked in Personnel, but that ain't the same as Finance where they cover Accounting and Payments issues. There's no way in hell he or anyone else should have been privy to anyone else's pay records, let alone everybody's pay records. That's need to know stuff.

Wanna bet? I did all the calculations for a persons pay (advancements, selective reenlistment bonuses, etc.), sent that to the Disbursing office, where they annotated it on the LES (Leave and Earnings Statement). And, I would check to make sure that the things were processed when I verified the Enlisted Distribution and Verification Report when it arrived monthly. And, when I was on the USNS CONCORD (T-AFS-5), I was the ONLY admin type onboard to take care of 35 personnel. Sorry, but you know nothing about what a PN did.

Maybe you set the initial value until the FITW would be set to the correct final value by the Navy's Finance office, whatever you call it. No way in hell is every military member's FITW always 28%, there's no way dude. 2 guys in the same rank, one guy get a $10,000 re-up bonus and other guy doesn't but they both have the same 28% FITW? Or one guy is single and the other guy is married and has 6 kids? An Admiral and an E-1, same FITW? Bullshit, you might have filled in the empty value if their pay status changed somehow, but that value would not remain the same for long.

You know, there were a couple of times that I was on PCS leave and needed to get paid in transit, so I went to the AF base at my hometown (Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls MT). Well, first I went to one clerk, who looked and verified that I hadn't been paid yet. He then sent me to another clerk who did the calculations for my paycheck, who sent me to another clerk to have it verified. After that, it was signed off by the supervisor, who then sent me to the pay office to get my money. I had to see a total of 5 different people to get paid by the Air Force. If that had been a Navy office, it would have taken 2 people. The PN to verify that pay is owed, and the DK to pay them. But, then again, people in the Navy have more than just one job, and many rates in the Navy can cover several jobs in other services. Why do we do that? Because you can always annex land and build a bigger base. You can't do that with the ocean, and ships cost money to modify living spaces.

That's all beside the point. So you set somebody's FITW to 28% no matter what, plus a flat 4% if they had to pay state income tax, right? While out to sea, right? Did you do the same thing ashore? Or did someone set it to a different value after they reviewed his pay and allowances and exemptions? Do you think that rate never got changed, do you really think that an admiral's FITW is the same rate as an E-1? Year after year, ALWAYS 28%? The Navy really doesn't adjust the person's FITW to fit the circumstances?

Not everyone but most did. Why should not their kids benefit? Doesn’t make sense. Houston. None of your posts make sense.

"Most" my ass, come up with data and peer reviewed studies, your word is shit.

Take a look at the current Fortune 500 CEOs. There is your data. Plus Mark Cuban, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Bob Kraft all self made. Not sure how many more examples you need Houston. Only shit here is your brains.

We have the worst inequality and upward Mobility ever and in the modern world after 35 years of your giveaway to the rich, brainwashed functional moron.
Economic Inequality: It’s Far Worse Than You Think

That's the plan.


Privatized gains versus socialized losses for the Wall Street bankster class.
Internalized profit versus externalized risk and expense for the "job creator" class.
Socialism for the aristocracy versus austerity/laissez-faire capitalism for the masses.

Another Yoda post. What are you trying to say?

The GOP scumbag plan...

We need to tax the rich their fair share with with a 70% top rate at least. More taxes on the non rich is the last thing we need. Democrats agree and said that for years D, Super Duper.

of course you are a brainwashed functional moron who can only think in terms of federal income tax, which is much smaller than it ever was and is the only progressive tax we have. Cuts in federal income taxes the last 35 years have ruined investment federally and have led to higher state and local taxes and fees, which kill the non Rich. You are brain-dead at this point.

 

[Thinker101]

Yeah why don't you review it dummy. This time pay attention to the tax shelters and investment options that guaranteed the rich never paid anywhere near 70% or 90%. Then pay attention to why this was changed so that the rich would be encouraged to take risks, start new businesses, expand existing businesses, creating jobs for the middle class and wealth to fund welfare for all you mooching deadbeats.

It worked once in 1982 and has been a terrible failure ever since, super dupe. Except for bloating the super rich... And that was cutting the top rate to 50%...

LOL, what a surprise, you worked once in 1982....even better you've been a terrible failure since. I am shocked.

Our system is a failure.

Well, the other option, and more likely, is that some people are failures.

Right. If 80% of american workers are living paycheck to paycheck in our exceptional nation, then 80% of ameicans are failures. That's what we are to believe.

Yup, that may happen when you get: Internet, TV services, iPhone, Starbucks, new car, $200 tennis shoes, $300 jeans, etc., etc.

 

[basquebromance]

You should have to pass a drug test to receive a welfare check... because I had to pass one to earn it for you.

And inequality and upward Mobility have never been worse, all to save the greedy idiot GOP Rich from paying their fair share.

Nobody should have to take drug tests that include marijuana. God damn Republicans anyway...

Ocasio Cortez said 70% over 10 million dollars income. I like it because JFK put it down to 70% from 90% under Eisenhower. Reagan put it down to 50% and had his success, but he cut it to 28% about what it's been since, and it's just bad for the country great for the mega rich. Only propaganda and lies can make this possible, super dupe..

Well the Democrats talked about 250,000 and 400000 income as rich. I'm sorry you people know nothing but imaginary scandals and b******* misinformation. And don't worry the rich will always find a way to get their taxes lower...

Is it 70% for any monies earned over $10mil or for all the $10mil? AOC is not an economist. Why do you think this is a fair %? Surely not because a bartender from NY likes it?
