Top 3% of U.S. Taxpayers Paid Majority of Income Taxes in 2016

[HereWeGoAgain]

Top 3% received the greatest benefit from the collective efforts of all the rest, especially the "defense" provided.

As a member of the top 3% ?
You're a fuken liar. I receive nothing from the gov.

You are lying to yourself. Everything you have is because of government and the people who keep your sad posterior safe and comfy. Otherwise, those with an attitude such as you've displayed would have been torn to shreds long ago by the people you force into desperation. It is not the few percent in the highest economic bracket who patrol and guard and are vigilant and die.

I pay for my gated community and you're free to do the same.
Barring that I'll blow your ass away.

The top 1% own 40% of the wealth, so the top tax rate needs to pay most of the Federal taxes, RAISE THE TOP RATE!!
Washington Post: Breaking News, World, US, DC News & Analysis

The top 1% CREATED their own wealth and pay your way....CREATE your own wealth and pay your own way. You’re a big boy.

Bullshit! Most of them inherited their wealth. Many of them are benefiting from the Corporate tax cuts as stocks rise. The Budget Deficit, that pays for the military to protect their wealth, is $900b this year. The chart below clearly shows that the top tax rate can increase to cover the Deficit since they received nearly all of the financial gains. They may have made those financial gains by moving the US factories overseas to take advantage of the low wages and lax environmental laws. We don't want the US to become Mexico with 99% peons and 1% super-rich.

Haha...”most of them inherited their wealth”.....BULLSHIT!
Sounds like you’re after a little dose of commie-lite...no?
Do you ever listen to yourself?
“Excuse me neighbor, you’re more successful than I am and you’ve done better for yourself than I have so I’m gonna need you to pay my way… Oh and by the way, my buddy here Gustavo, he’s from Mexico and I’m going to need you to pay his way as well.”

The scary thing is, the beggars don’t even realize how fucking stupid that sounds.

Very few people are "self-made" millionaires, please see the following link, its factual not bullshit:
Wealth, Inheritance and Social Mobility

1. Inheritance Matters. An estimated 35 to 45 percent of wealth is inherited rather than self-made, according to Kopczuk’s review of the literature.
2. Inheritance Could Hurt Mobility, especially when combined with the other advantages that wealthy parents provide their children (such as more engaged parenting, better schooling, help with paying for college or investing in a home, and all kinds of social capital or useful connections). As Richard Reeves argues, wealth helps to create a “glass floor”, below which children in privileged families cannot fall.

From the IRS site - I don't see any "commie-lite"; everyone pays, the top rates are way too low to fund the government 161,000/600,000 = 27% while the median family pays 8,907/77,400 = 12% but with a lot less money for their family.

So the Federal Budget is $3.9T with only $3.0T of revenue, we borrow about $900b a year, we need to cut spending and raise revenue, or the government becomes Greece, and we all lose. What sounds stupid is continued borrowing, and the wealthy had better stop whining...it won't affect the lifestyles, of the rich and obnoxious.

I’m not sure what you call it in LibTardia...here in the real world we call it commie-lite when you ask Father Government to take from your neighbor and give to you.
See, the mistake you commie-lite proponents make is simple, rather than advocate for Father Government to spend less you advocate to steal more from good, productive people to fund the overspending. Make sense?

 

[danielpalos]

Same bullshit thread is posted 2-3 times a year

There are many taxes. Federal Income tax is but one, a very progressive one, which makes it an attractive cherry pick for those trying to argue that the rich have it too tough in America

Here is the no-bullshit view of total effective tax burden in this coutry:

And you spout the same bullshit, it's not our fault that blue States vote against their own financial interest and vote for democrats and high state and local taxes

What’s the bullshit?

Don’t want to count state and local taxes? Fine, there are the blue lines for all Federal taxes.

Uhm yea because redstates are not stupid enough to vote for 100 grand a year dog catchers and unstainable Union pension programs , in fact Diane wants the rest of the country to bail them out because of their high Democrat taxes..

all we need is a higher minimum wage to increase payroll taxes.

Just ask the feds to print more money like Obama did.

Obama had a reason; the right wing, not so much.

You're a fuken liar. I receive nothing from the gov.

not even a financed tax break that helps make You richer simply passing on greater Debt, to the People.

 

[danielpalos]

That top three pays about 60% of the taxes paid.

If it weren't for them I wonder who everyone thinks would be paying those taxes.

Well we know its not 47% of the population

-Geaux

raise the minimum wage until the poor pay enough in taxes.

No, let the poor get a higher paying job, then they will pay higher taxes.

-Geaux

lol. Only if You convince the right wing to stop whining about the cost of social services for the Poor.

Considering we pay for it.....

why complain about it? the rich should be Taxed into Heaven; it is the moral thing to do.

a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and unemployment compensation at fourteen dollars an hour equivalent should be ok, to start with.

 

[danielpalos]

Until the Tax Code includes a per capita maximum tax amount, it can never be truly fair.

Once you have paid ... pick a number... then you have paid enough. Make it a million dollars - i don't care - but for the maximum to be open ended, thus punishing success, it is unfair.

The right wing needs to pay for their warfare programs;

In consideration of the monstrous sacrifice in property and blood that each war demands of the people, personal enrichment through a war must be designated as a crime against the people. Therefore, we demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

We do. Considering we pay the majority of taxes.

You should not be making Profit; not for profit is what we should be saving as the difference.

You are ignorant. $15 minimum wage wot correct the defect. Your socialist posts are always moonbeams

15 minimum wage would in fact reduce federal spending on low income people and increase how much they pay in taxes.

But as always you ignore the fact that products will increase in cost to make up for the loss in income.

inflation happens anyway; at least the Poor will benefit.

the right wing, "hates it when that happens".

Get a job losers, pay your fair share you mooching parasites.

All these clowns ignore that.

more tax revenue will be the result; inflation happens. And price inflation for fuel was worse, and the Poor received no benefit. No wonder the right wing doesn't have a problem with that form of inflation.

 

[danielpalos]

Makes you wonder why they call it an “income” tax

If the top 3 percent are paying most of the tax, what does that tell you about their income?

should we start citing wealth disparity articles?

WTF?...who is not letting people get a better paying job?

But intill they do get one, minimum wage ensures they are minimaly compensated for their labor.

29 million filthy, low iQ, illiterate wetbacks that can’t speak the native language and have zero communication skills fuck shit all up don’t they?

No you stupid racist shit. Those "wetbacks that can't speak the native language" pay billions, yes BILLIONS with a B, in Social Security taxes and they will never collect a dime. Better yet, you never ever hear them bitch about it. In my book, that makes them more of a "real American" than you can ever hope to be.
