Rod Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The rich will always win when it comes to taxes. Reason being is the rich are generally a lot smarter than the government that tries to take their money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I simply understand the differences and similarities between c and s corps and the taxes behind owning parts of them. Yes there are some taxes on hedge fund income I'd like see adjusted but I can show you with IRS data that the extremely wealthy still pay the highest tax rates.

The rest of them will do what they can to preserve their assets including moving them offshore at the mere threat of such a plan. All I’m saying is confiscating a billionaires money so they’re only a millionaire will never work. Oh and suck it Frenchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Do you think Jeff Bezos is gonna hang around and pay $9b in taxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2018 Amazon paid $2 billion in income taxes of which 16% would have went to Bezos. In other words on Amazon alone not counting any compensation taxed, he paid the govt. $320 million in taxes thru Amazon.

Zambroski Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 It was mentioned already but, the richest Americans have already started and/or made plans to protect their wealth under Obama. Should any of these fruitcakes come to power. America’s richest, their money, and their companies will vanish. The market will crash. That will most likely leave us in the next depression and an impending civil war. Anteefer had better start boning-up on their skilz!

I'm talking about people quit being partisan fucking hacks and start demanding some sensible policy here. According to all of the beat offs here if you don't like things the way things are now you are a big govt tax loving liberal socialist. We are supposed to be a free market free republic, that is hardly the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want us out of all bases around the world unless they pay us completely to be there and even then it should be rare cases only. I'd love to cut spending but a POTUS cannot do it alone and you know that. Mandatory spending is about 60% of the budget. Good luck getting anything done there and getting re-elected. Until the majority of the public gets behind across the board reductions in spending its absolutely worthless talking about it.

You have to fight the battles you know you have a chance to win. The American public is consumed with spending. That's not my fault. Honestly at this point there is very few candidates from either side really willing to attack spending. Maybe someday but until then I'll continue to choose candidates that I agree with on the most issues instead of pouting on a website thinking some angel will get voted in to accomplish something the public isn't ready for. I vote for the lesser of 2 evils and right now as far as spending/govt control/loss of freedom goes that has never been more clear on which side is worse.
