White House Tax Plan Would Ask More of Millionaires

why because you say so

envy again

Envy. :2rofll:

Why? Because there is a need for tax revenue, and it's only fair that UNEARNED income should be taxed at least as stringently as earned income.
 
jealous much?

when you rant about heirs as you do its obvious you are upset that others have more industrious parents

are your children parasites?

This is what is going to happen, the folks who have gotten rich on the backs of the middle class and poor for the last 30 years are going to have to give some of it back
 
Uh you are wrong as usual. I don't throw dirt, I just note I have no proper duty in being forced to pay for the lot of others whose situation I have nothing to do with

Of course you have a duty, given that you had so many advantages that they didn't, through no effort of your own.

Income should not be taxed

consumption should be

that would prevent all the envious from slaking their hatred of the people more industrious than they are from voting for idiots who promise them to oppress the wealthy

why? that benefit did not come from the government

and it didn't come from those who make stupid decisions that cause them to be impoverished

you seem to think existing is a just claim on someone else's labor or wealth
 
Of course you can give your money away, but the parasite who receives it should pay hefty taxes on the unearned income.

So the Gates foundation, which will receive $40 billion or so from Buffet should be taxed in your view?

I doubt you have done anything that has made me richer so you can forget about me giving you anything. but your hatred of the rich is both expected and a bit pathological

Wealth should be taxed rather than income or consumption. Then the wealthy can whine about their fair share.
 
most of the planet Earth disagree with you.

Income tax is the law of the land and will stay that way.

most of the planet is ignorant and far less educated than I am

find an argument that makes rational sense

mob rule might win but that doesn't make it right

No, because charitable foundations donate their money based upon need, or merit, rather than DNA.

yeah it only takes a few posts to get the envious to show their true colors.

much wealth doesn't generate income but you would want say a widow living on a small pension to be taxed a ton on a valuable piece of land she lives on

do you tell your employer this. If i had an employee spewing this nonsense he'd be 86'd in a heartbeat. Its time the rich start doing that to people who want to engage in class warfare
 
It doesn't even raise that much tax and its compliance cost is higher than what it generates. it is economically inefficient and exists merely because special interests (dem politicians, estate planners and tax lawyers) want it

Proof. tenchar

Really, get over the envy BS. It has no merit.

As far as the widow goes, yes, she should be taxed on the property. Of course she has the option of selling it if holding onto it doesn't make sense.

What you contemptuously call MOB RULE is what is more properly called the right of the American people to vote. And the Constitution makes that right.

I tell my employer this every day, and being that I'm self employed, we are in perfect agreement. :lol:

do some research--that has been posted on this board dozens of times

and again I find it hilarious that a supposed libertarian supports government confiscation of wealth

probably good that you are. solo practitioner? I can see your perspective

later

So people who oppose your views should be fired simply for their views? That gives a whole new perspective to what it means to be a worker and an employer.

Why is it hilarious? My understanding is that libertarians do believe that there is a role for government, and of course if there is a government it must have revenue.

Yeah we know-if its a law you like its mom and apple pie, just like capital gains rates

Where did I say that capital gains were not part of the law?

When you attack the American system as being MOB RULE you are not taking issue with one particular issue before the body politic. You are leveling a gross insult towards America, its people and our way of government.

This seems to be a common theme with so-called conservatives. They purport to believe in radical individual freedom but in the next breath state that they would sack any employee who holds a political view different from theirs.
