Everyone else is having to tighten up, how about no tax increases for anyone? Maybe the Governmet needs to tighten its belt as well, maybe even do some pay cuts/ demotions.
Lol, wtf am I thinking.

Even if he didn't I still don't agree with it in principle.

if you lose your job over PERSONAL taxes to your boss then obviously you don't work for a stable company to begin with. his personal money shouldn't interfere w/ the business unless he is wanting to invest moreOriginally Posted by cb7
Paul you do realize that ceritan companies such as s-corps are taxed based on the personal income scale right?Originally Posted by admin

Its really more the principle of the matter than it is the direct effect. I believe there should be a set percentage tax rate. That way everyone gets taxed the same. Imagine yourself spending 11 years in college and becoming a neurosurgeon. When you get out and have a job, you're going to make A LOT of money. Money that you spent long hours and hard work earning. Why should you be punished for all your hard work, and the good deeds you are doing, by being taxed more than everyone else.
Most people with money dont have a problem helping the needy. Instead of taxing them and giving it to every tom **** and harry who apply for food stamps and welfare, they could donate to charities that help children in foster homes and those with disabilities. Of course not everyone with money is going to "be a good person" like that. But lets stop trying to play Robin Hood and just rely on the ones who will, because believe it or not, there are a lot more people who will than won't.
Thats my 2 cents...

As if the malpractice insurance and school loans aren't enough. Also the sad thing about the welfare issue was seeing a lady pay with food stamps and get in a 335i and all those people on WIC w/ nice cars.originally posted by amped4life33

this is true but you can only walk on the backs of the poor for so long... now look at us. w/ years of bush tax cuts our economy is a failure - china/india are going to be the next world super powers. i'm not saying it is totally at fault but such tax cuts were supposed to stimulate the economy and it hasn't. i'm all for way more regulation on social programs but taxes are a need. you can't tax on equal level and think we can sustain a good economy. that is just being naive.Originally Posted by BlkCD5
i do not but my stepfather who pays for my college education so that I can make that kind of money one day makes well over $250,000 a year. So of course i'm going to vote for someone who will not raise my family's taxes!
My cousins uncle through wedlockfather's brother twice removed best friend from high school...
Get the point? Just say no, I don't even make that much in 5 years.
My question is why defend the rich?!? I promise you they dont give a damn about anything but profit. Seriously, if they could replace every human employee with a robot to increase profit they would. There are few exceptions in every case (just like there are people on welfare that dont cheat the system), but this case they are few and far apart. I see it like this... if you have a problem, fix the root of the problem! Don't put that responsibility in someone hands that may or may not decide to help. That doesn't make sense. Thats like adding too many factors to the equation. You can get 10 by adding 5 and 5, but you can also get 10 by take 5 multiplying it by 45, and taking the square root of that. But why calcute 10 the second way when you has more chances of ****ing up.
So we are up to 4 people now...
Not only no, but hell no.

There is an answer here that nobody is pointing out. High amount investors deposit money into accounts for gain. However, this is also the EXACT money that is used so you are able to get a mortgage, buy a car, finance a remodel etc. Banks constantly use deposited assets as loanable money. High net worth investors removing money from banks = less balance at a bank to loan against.
I would hardly consider someone who made 250K a year rich. Most people who make that much are small business owners. Small businesses are what keep this country's economy from completely going under. Our entire economy depends on small businesses ten times more than large corporations. Why raise taxes on those who are keeping the economy afloat? So you can give it to those who have ****ed up the economy?Originally Posted by bigdare23
If the democrats hadn't pushed HUD through the economy would be in much better shape. HUD (which makes it illegal for mortgage discrimination) has made it where banks must make risky mortgages to people who can't pay it back. These risky mortgage loans are the main reason that the economy is so ****ed up right now. All these large banks are going out of business because of all the bad mortgages they have written and will never get paid back on. Even if the bank repo's houses, the market is so shot to **** right now that they would never be able to sell most of them at a high enough price just to break even, especially with house values in the toilet. Granted, some of the people who got these risky mortgages work hard to pay them back and improve their credit, but the vast majority do not.
Why defend the rich? Because the "rich" keep this country from being a poor third world country.

Damn those people for wanting a house. Last time I checked there is still a process of being approved. It's not like just cause you're black you're automatically approved for a $300k mortage.Originally Posted by allmotoronly
Just a sorry interpretation of HUD.. this stuff never ceases to amaze me.
Nope, but I still disagree with giving them huge tax increases

Why? Not like it's going to take a meal from them or their families. It might reduced their profits, but it's not going to put them in a bind. If taxes go up on that small 5%, I highly doubt their lifestyles are going to change one bit.Originally Posted by fcman
Now on the other hand, raise taxes on a person who's making minimum wage. Their lives are going to change greatly.
