Guys making $1,000,000+/year arent cutting weekly paychecks for $20K. By taking their pay in capital gains distributions and applying applicable credits and deductions most can get their tax liability under 15% and many pay 0%. So yeah top 1% made $20 trillion and paid $300 billion and complain about all of the taxes they had to pay. In comparison the schmucks making 25% earn $20 trillion and have to pay $600 billion in taxes. Seems fair. You are so full of shit its almost laughable. The only thing they (those like MC) avoid by taking capital gains distributions is FICA which of course IS NOT FUCKING INCOME TAXES. Explain how the top 1% made more than the countries entire GDP? Fuck dude, take a step back and THINK. I thought you were smarter than this. Someone earning to put them in right at the 25% mark, which would be about 77K in 2014 (last data available) wouldn't pay NEARLY the effective income tax rate of someone in the top 1%.

Snoslinger Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 that's another comical situation, tax loop holes. the wealthy and corporations are ALL about saving taxes, regardless of how they do it. so when they say they're OK with closing tax loop holes, they're making that loss up, and more, somewhere else. then there's this notion that everyone is going to bring their profits back to the US because taxes rates dropped. riiiiiight. they're going to give up millions to bring their coin back here.

When 1% of the population receives 90% of the income they get all self righteous about the amount of taxes they have to pay. If the top 1% had to pay the same PERCENTAGE as the top 25% then we would see some real crying. And lets see the tax brackets on those Top 1%, 5%, 10% and 25%. I bet the top 25% probably makes are $50k which isnt shit. . The average federal tax rate of the Top 1% was 34% in 2013. Those in the middle class, or the middle 60% of Americans by income, had an average federal tax rate of 13.8%. http://money.cnn.com/2016/06/08/news/economy/top-1-income/index.html 22 minutes ago, Arctic Cat Destroyer said: I know you like to pull out your IRS spreadsheet but anyone with any common sense knows that they dont pay those rates.

Sure they may have a lot of cap gain income but thats treated different for all not just them.

And there are numerous loophole available to avoid even having to disclose earnings. Again, you are being foolish if you think people making >$1 mil/ year are just paying standard payroll taxes.

Good god nobody is claiming they are paying EXACTLY the rates set by the govt. They are allowed some deductions too but the IRS data is FACTUAL on what is actually paid and those percentages. I'm honestly shocked you are in business for yourself. BTW thanks for posting to table to prove my point.
