Deductions that favor the rich...no kidding. I've used most of these every year for the last 30 years, pretty sure I'm not rich. The step-up in basis happens when someone dies, so I haven't used that one.
What favors the rich?
Cutting corporate taxes in half

You don’t think they pay personal income taxes do you?
They all are corporations and their true wealth is hidden
 
P
Hilarious and disgusting to see all the dupes who believe so many people don't pay taxes... Brainwashed functional morons...
The one tax graph you really need to know
On average everyone pays between 18 and 29% in all taxes and fees and the mega rich and up with all the new wealth and the middle class and working class and the country's infrastructure go slowly to hell. Great job lying hypocrite greedy idiot GOP and silly dupes...
not federal taxes for income earned. sorry bubba. everyone pays local and state taxes as well as general sales taxes. everyone. that isn't what DC votes on though. you know that right? that's all state activity. BTW, I live in Illinois the highest sales tax state in the union.
Yes I know you are brainwashed and can't discuss anything but federal income tax, super dupe. All taxes count and are interconnected. Every time the Republicans cut federal taxes, federal aid to States is cut and state and local taxes go up, and that is what kills the non-rich.
No federal taxes are federal and state taxes are state

Life is simple when you are a simpleton...
 
So now you are denying that you said his net worth is zero because he has no cash on hand.Net worth is not how much cash you have on hand Idiot

I'm saying that until he releases his tax returns, we have to assume his net worth is zero.
I would say that until he releases his returns we have to assume he's a thief

I would say that since the IRS has audited him several times and have reviewed all of his returns just as they do everyone else, that your assumptions are just as wrong now as they were on the old Yahoo message boards.
Yes Remember you too One thing I can say in your favor you're consistent Liked Bush who also cut taxes and gave us a depression and then one upped yourself backing this miserable example of a human being BTW the presidential board is still working

Really? I thought they'd closed all those boards.
They did for a bit Not many left there Gave Kinetta the link and he stopped in to say hi gave it to bendog too
 
30 years ago people in the top 10% were making close to $60,000/per year, and so started the chant of rich people don’t pay their fare share. Today we’re hearing the exact same thing. So what I’m curious to know is who the rich are? What level of income is needed before you’re considered to not be paying your fair share. Is it still the $60,000 mark or is it anyone that has $1.00 more than you do.
IMHO it's not the income that decides whether you're paying your fair share It's all the deductions only the rich can take so their % of taxes are very low

Since Democrats controlled Congress for most of the time that the Income Tax has been in effect, who put in all the deductions?
congress on both sides imo,,when I heard not too long ago they could inside sell and buy stocks , there is not too much that is beneath them I just feel Dems are a far better way to go than with the party of the billionaires And Trump?? He's a disgrace

2014 Top Donors to Outside Spending Groups | OpenSecrets

there were 22 individuals on the Open Secrets list who were billionaires. Of those 22 billionaires, 13 -- or more than half -- gave predominantly to liberal groups or groups affiliated with the Democratic Party. The other nine gave predominantly to conservative groups. Here's a list of the billionaires and how much they gave.

Billionaire political donors

Democrats ARE the party of billionaires.
Then why are 83% of these taxcuts going to the top 1%?? These REPUBLICAN inspired taxcuts??

Because that's who pays the highest taxes.

It isn't what the rich pay that liberals complain about. It's how much they still have. The marxist way is to take everything, then give back equally. The government takes 100% of every dime earned or realized from investments or capital gains or any other source, then gives the burger flipper and the CEO exactly the same amount of money. That's what they want, everything else is just blather.

None other than Barack Obama Sr. said that a tax rate of 100% is acceptable if the government satisfied everyone's needs equally.

Actually they pay less than many in the middle class if you count all taxes, dupe, and the top quintile average is less a percentage than the fourth quintile. You are brainwashed because all Fox and Rush and Savage Etc cetera can talk about is federal income tax. And when they talk about Democrats wanting to tax the rich more, they talk about raising taxes on everyone another Canard and disgrace. We have never had a propaganda machine like this in this country with radio and television anyway LOL.
 
Silly little Eddie, find one post of mine in which I declare I am a Republican. What you’ll find is that I am a conservative, but expressly not a Republican. Be sure to put your bike helmet on before standing up little fella.

Conservative = Republican = Teabag = Klansman = Alt-Right = Nazi

Same shit, different polish.

Really? So by that rationale Liberal= Democrats = Antifa = sissy = lazy

Capital gains: how the rich get richer


Why does billionaire Warren Buffett pay less income tax than his secretary?

Two words: capital gains.

Long-term capital gains, which derive from the sale of investments such as stocks and bonds held for more than a year, are taxed at 15 percent. That’s well below the 35 percent maximum tax rate on ordinary income such as wages.

The preferential tax treatment of capital gains is widely viewed as regressive because the rich, who derive a disproportionate share of their income from capital gains, pay less than half of the tax rate on that income compared to middle-class wage earners.

Hey Fucknut, this thread is about the federal income tax
Yes I know you are a brainwashed functional moron and can't discuss anything but federal income tax... But all taxes count and are interconnected.
This thread is about the changes to the FEDERAL INCOME TAX

If you want to talk about state taxes start 50 threads, one for each state.

You have any idea what the polls show Americans think of this bs tax lie?

THE ART OF THE STEAL

I really don't care.

When I get to keep more of my own money I am always for it because unlike the buffoons in government I won't waste it
Unfortunately as long as you are a dupe who can only think in terms of federal income taxes, you won't realize that the GOP has been screwing you and everyone you know for 35 years.

And idiots like you don't know that you have a choice of which state taxes you pay. You can always move to a low tax state but federal taxes never change

and you are not taxed on your labor you are taxed on the amount of money for which you sell your labor to an employer
