I already did. If you know of any other companies that can find, extract, refine and distri bute the product, let them know so they can get in on the boom. I don't believe I was referring to you. I'd say "Damn. I should have gotten in the apple business." I wasn't talking to you. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I'm skeptical of the Oswald as a lone perp theory. Again, so what? They are taxed at the same rate.
How Income & Taxes are Distributed Look at the example shown below (after the first table) -- very interesting. Top 1% earn 21% of all income; pay 37-1/2% of all taxes Top 5% earn 35% of all income; pay 56-1/2% of all taxes Top10% earn 46% of all income; pay 67% of all taxes Top 25% pay 84% of all taxes Top 50% pay 96-1/2% of all taxes Bottom 50% pay 3-1/2% of all taxes
misleading stats that are often brought up. rove loves this stuff. this says nothing about the tax rates. id think if a non-regressive tax was good for the bible it'd be good for the gop.
Amen. If I write the IRS a check for $3,000,000, it doesn't hurt me any less than it does the guy who scratches them out a check for $300, just because I happen to have a lower rate than he does. Anybody who thinks it does has got bats in their belfry.
Maybe someone in the world already thinks the laws are fair. Who determines what one thinks is fair? Hey, I got an idea. Liberals don't think the tax rates are fair, they also don't think Big Oil and Ceo's are fair. I also think they have a problem with the free market Imho. So does this mean they want sports to be fair? Maybe LSU football should lose most of their games this year in fairness to the democrats and their fairness rules, fairness doctrine? Btw, the LSU basketball team should be able to win some serious games then after the last few years. Keep in mind if you want fairness, across the board it has to be in every way or you are dishonest.
And in the words of Sir Winston Churchill: "The inherent vice of Capitalism is the unequal distribution of blessings, the inherent vice of Socialism is the equal distribution of misery. Go on, vote for obama and watch these words ring true like never before. You'll see.
People with capital gains have put their money at risk to make those gains. The higher you raise the capital gains rate the less likely they will put their money at risk. The less they invest the less money they will pay in taxes. You pay the same capital gains rate as the rich. They pay a higher income tax rate. A higher capital gains rate will lead to less government revenue and will hurt investment in the economy.
Sabanfan, you are the Champion of political belly-aching. Rant after rant after rant after rant saying: Boo hoo hoo, whine whine whine, the Republicans aren't getting all the media hype anymore. Boo hoo hoo. You sound like a little girl. I'm sorry your team is currently getting crushed, but I don't know why you feel like you have to pick a team in the first place. This is about the United States of America, not the Republicans or the Democrats. It obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about, but if you did, and you were as still as moronically one-sided as you are, I would consider you an absolute traitor to the USA (this is why we need to spend more tax-paper money on education). As for the wealth/class thing with my family, I was born into a family that is very rich, but they were smart about it, we only lived in an a very elite neighborhood, went to very elite private schools, and got very elite medical care. Other than that, my parents were very big on making us live a lower-middle class lifestyle. My parents were proud of the blue collar parents that they had, and they wanted us to consider ourselves blue collar (and they did a good job of doing that other than our elite house, elite education, and elite healthcare). I respect my parents for that, and I think they are good role-models for all Americans.
