There are never be a reform. Look who is running the country, rich bastard are running the country. Poor fellew cannot afford their own campaign to win any seat. And think about it, why are laws exist? They exist for 1 reason and 1 reason only, it's help the riches keep their wealth and keep the poors in control.
It's a civic duty to pay as little money to government as possible. Nothing will change unless balance of power changes.People during medieval times actually payed lower taxes because it was much more difficult for feudal overlord to collect revenues. Everything is clearly explained in "THE SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL" THE FIRST AND FOREMOST GOAL OF EVERY BUREAUCRACY IS TO PRESERVE ITSELF Walter Wriston
Wow what a bunch of whinners.........."The average Joe pays over 50% in taxes" where the hell did you get that? Of course the NYT pointed out a Bush connection that was their sole reason for running the story.......Soros is a naturalized US Citizen and pays no taxes either but where is that story. Christ some of you guys are just jealous of anyone with money. BSMETER will believe anything.
Well, look at at... top tax bracket 35% (I think) let's say joe is in Calif (10%) I think and of course SS tax 7%-14% depending on if he's self employed And then there's property tax And then of course sales tax I'd say more than 50% for the ABOVE AVERAGE Joe. Yeah, right about now til the end of the year, instead of every dollar of his going to the govt, he can keep it. Vote Libertarian and keep doing it! They may not win this year, but they'll have a future, and you won't be taking a 50:50 shot of reluctantly saying "Yeah, I voted for the current President"
OK so here we have Soros personal tax accountant chiming in. Ya hear that, folks! he knows for sure Soros does'nt pay any taxes! wow, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to give us that piece of information! I don't know why Soros would bother paying you top dollar to do his taxes, you can't even do basic arithmetic. You forgot to add Sales tax, property taxes ( aka perpetual rent to the govt), gas taxes for starters. So you see, once you factor in all the other taxes the average taxpayer does pay close to 50% of his salary in taxes. I don't think anyone is saying that Joe six pack pays 50% of national taxes, it's just that he pays 50% of his own salary in taxes. So here's a Baaaaahhhhhhh for you. http://www.markhamfair.ca/video_clips_sheep_shearing.htm
Laissez faire is the argument against any government intervention under the premise that free market and economy should be allowed to do as it pleases. Yet it will never fly, monopilies & oligopolies are sure results of unrestrained capitalism. More than enough examples of this in US history, let alone the globe, latest being Russia during 1990s. It behaves like an institution, no longer human. The day this happens in this country, RUN. I'll take big government over a corporation anytime. Corporation's job is to grow and squeeze profits, eventually it will get to them squeezing the blood out of you. HAH. Bankers & lawyers, although it's a tough choice among the three.
Well for starters , I'm not a want-to-be-a-trader like you. Its a full time endeavor shearing sheep. And I must say I'm pretty darn good at it. Now go watch the video, you might learn something. Baaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!
I'm sorry I was not requesting info about your sex life. you and hydo remind me of the question"how mental can you be and still turn a profit"
It behaves like an institution, no longer human. The day this happens in this country, RUN. You make this statement but still you are OK with big government. Government is not an institution??? Huge one with much more power than any freaking corporation. I'll take big government over a corporation anytime. Corporation's job is to grow and squeeze profits, eventually it will get to them squeezing the blood out of you. I guess you are one of those who still believes politicians are here to help you.LOL Let me repeat: THE FIRST AND FOREMOST GOAL OF ANY BUREAUCRACY IS TO PRESERVE ITSELF
