Still waiting for an explanation why giving tax break to ultra wealthy is better than to middle class.
The poor pay all kinds of taxes. Do you mean income taxes? Donald Trump didn’t pay income taxes for years. Social security taxes are only taxed to a certain level howbis that fair?
We are paying poor people to stay poor. Please read thread title. You qualify for platinum level status.
One thing that I have noticed about the idiot morlibons here is that they just lock-step defend the indefensible proglib agenda no matter how wrong. They sidestep the truth and don't really care about facts. Furthermore, they are late to the party on most issues. They might be getting messages via tin cans and string since they continue to defend the Clintons even now when they have already been jettisoned by the party.-----The Clinton era is over.
We all know that not all people can run fast, or through far, or are good at some sport, or play well a musical instrument, and this list is infinite. If you're poor at any of those, you know it, and you won't do it in fear of looking ridiculous. It's ridiculous that people believe that doesn't apply to thinking and reasoning, ... or trading.
Are you pointing to the corporate tax? These are some facts: The United States has the third highest general top marginal corporate income tax rate in the world, at 38.92 percent. Due to the recent reduction in Chad’s corporate tax rate, the U.S. rate is exceeded only by the United Arab Emirates and Puerto Rico. The worldwide average top corporate income tax rate, across 188 countries and tax jurisdictions, is 22.5 percent. After weighting by each jurisdiction’s GDP, the average rate is 29.5 percent. By region, Europe has the lowest average corporate tax rate, at 18.88 percent (26.22 percent, weighted by GDP). The G7 has the highest simple average, at 30.21 percent. Larger, more industrialized countries tend to have higher corporate income tax rates than developing countries. The worldwide average corporate tax rate has declined since 2003 from 30 percent to 22.5 percent. Every region in the world has seen a decline in its average corporate tax rate in the past thirteen years. Some history: The history of taxation in the United States begins with the colonial protest against British taxation policy in the 1760s, leading to the American Revolution. The independent nation collected taxes on imports ("tariffs"), whiskey, and (for a while) on glass windows. States and localities collected poll taxes on voters and property taxes on land and commercial buildings. There are state and federal excise taxes. State and federal inheritance taxes began after 1900, while the states (but not the federal government) began collecting sales taxes in the 1930s. The United States imposed income taxes briefly during the Civil War and the 1890s. In 1913, the 16th Amendments ratified, permanently legalizing an income tax.
