I guess we should all be impressed that you used to hang out with bankers, lawyers, and insurance guys. I doubt that, even those fuck head cheats and liars wouldn't hang out with a goof like you. You were the party? I bet that was fun, sorry I missed it. I do however believe that you are a totally disgruntled old white guy (you and your friends), actually I have no doubt about it. FORE.

Posts: 781Taxes
What's always funny to me regarding taxes is that the rich have multitudes of ways to lower and lower and lower their AGI.
If you guys think they pay 39% on all the money they earn, you are smoking bad stuff from South America. I'm certainly not rich, but even I have ways of lowering my AGI. A rich guy might have $2. 5 million in income, and end up paying taxes on 300 K.
Poor shmucks can't do that.
And don't even get me started on the simple fact that the 39% is only applied to the highest end of the 300 K not the whole amount.
Guys I am Republican. I used to have country club membership and hang out with the other bankers, lawyers and insurance guys. We used to be the party. Now it's just disgruntled old white guys who hate immigrants and could barely get a GED.

Posts: 256You're Exactly Right
DMoreH, you're exactly right. What you state is factual, and it's research-able. Too much to list here. In fact these are slightly older stat's. With the recent pandemic, the top earners in America (call them the 10% pay closer to 75% of all the taxes that go to the Treasury. They also give the largest percentage of charitable and benevolence giving, as percentage, that towers over the rest of the US population. They are also the largest job providers as a ratio of person / employee per capita. Even Democrat Politicians acknowledge all this.
One stat that's absent from this is the fact that 60% of Americans pay NO INCOME TAXES at all. NONE! And buy cars too. And on top of that, for those who don't work, with government assistance, the average annual "imputed / assisted" income is 49 K annually (I use the term imputed lightly, as it's not technically imputed, as it's mostly Gov't assistance). So with all that, I find it hard to fathom comments like "the rich need to pay their fair share. " Their taxes are the ones that keep going up and up, while those on the other end of the spectrum pay no taxes, and get more assistance than any $ for $ than any other immigrant. This doesn't even include what illegal alien status immigrants get. That's a whole other story. I agree there needs to be more balance, but to say the "rich" aren't paying, I think that's a stretch guys.
All in all, It's a shaded form of socialism, and it's growing. One thing about Socialism that most people don't realize until it's too late is that with Socialism, not only do the Rich become poorer, but the Poor become even more poor.
Anyway, thanks for posting that DMoreH. I was wondering who might respond to that.
