Love this one! Don’t ya think, tho’ that the guy had to pay 50% of his winnings to taxes up front anyway? Must have been a hellavu winning! Sigh! Wish I could afford to “be in it to win it.”
I love the blame the rich people. Where did you get your knowledge of what others pay? Oh, you read that such and such a company made all this money and didn’t pay tax. Did you look further and see the huge investment they made that will increase your lifestyle and create employment in 10 years? That rich man with his accountants and loopholes. Did he still pay over a quarter million in taxes? Did you?
Speaking of you, did you claim any loopholes? Like mortgage interest, child, spouse, education, and medical. So you paid taxes on 50% of your income or less? You paid 17% of your income? Yeah, those rich paying 35% are robbing you.
Yup, ought to be a law against doctors working 100 hours a week so they can meet the arbitrarily $250k that Obama calls rich. They ought to make them work more so you only have to work 40 hours. oh, that will come with beggar health care
well, lew… i would love to meet a dr. who has to work 100 hours a week to make 250k a year. HE’D be charging a normal fee. but the drs. today are charging 500$+ per 2 mins of their time working at the hospital (which i was actually charged - 585$ by 2 different dr.s who only spoke to me 2 mins and NEVER touched me and well yeah, maybe they looked at the monitor once or twice) that equals 15,000$ an hr. correct? so by my calculations he’d have to work aprx what… 17 hrs? - the poor baby. and what do they charge for office visits? i was charged double when i was there 10 mins over my allotted 15min visit. also, while at the hospital, (i was there 12 hrs. - again only talked to me for 2 mins.) i was left alone. i got no sleep because of all the noise… not because they were working on patients… they were playing a game & the laughter was so loud i couldn’t get any sleep. but for that 12 hrs. i was charged aprx 12,000$. that did include 2 xrays and a crappy breakfast. i made below poverty level for the year. were we able to take any portion of my med. bills off of our taxes? NO. we DID have to pay well over 2,000. i don’t mind paying my share… but it would be nice if everyone else did too. how can any family take care of every med. expense that comes up these days… body, eyes, teeth, it just can’t be done anymore. all you hear these days is that med. costs are going up.. why is that? why are dr.s (and lawyers etc…) allowed to charge exorbitant fees? yes, they save lives and help with legal issues, but when they can charge thousands for almost nothing… its pure greed. that is the only explanation i can come up with. i’d be MORE than happy to make 250,000 a year and pay the taxes on it. how much $ does any one person need? i’d like to hear what people like oprah, gates, trump, etc… have to say about that. and those companys that don’t pay taxes… thats because they don’t mind spending millions to be able to avoid paying taxes. so why don’t they just pay the tax $ and be thankful for what they are blessed with?
Lottery tickets are bought mostly by the poor. So taxes on lottery winnings are a tax on the poor. As is social security. As are corporate taxes on companies making products bought by the poor.
Yet despite all your arguments against more taxes not decreasing inequality, it remains a fact, that we in Scandinavia, has higher taxes and less inequality, than you do in the US, and that the inequality over here has been growing, as our equivalents of Republicans, has been following your example and giving the rich more tax breaks.
