You make me chuckle....:lol:
Would it be easier if we thought more in terms of wealth ownership?Wow, you don't say? A whole 300 out of 92,000? My god! confiscate all wealth over $100K immediately. That ought to solve it, right?
Shouldn't we tax capital gains more since they're not working for it? Shouldn't we be rewarding hard work?
.......names and addresses
So it doesn't help to know just how much wealth is owned by the rich and just how much is being hidden? I would hope you had more curiosity than that. :violinNo it doesn't help, it just makes me feel sorry for someone that is so envious of others success that they would expend so much energy in figuring out how they can bring that success down, instead of using that energy in how to be successful themselves...It's pathetic.
Oh, and "thinkprogress"? Really :lol:

but those who don't pay any FIT can do that too-many of them whined about Romney. Sorry that is a silly claim on your part.
You can point your finger at the entire rest of the world but it is still you complaining repeatedly about your taxes. That is not "a silly claim". That is the gospel truth. You do it right here in this very thread. And scores of others.
Why should capital gains be taxed at all? Hasn't the money being invested already been taxed at the normal rates?
Who owns my labor?
As an addition to the post i made earlier
The money you earned and invested is not being taxed again, but the work the money is doing for you. Remember it is capital gains that are being taxed not the capital itself
We must not just accept the propaganda, and rhetoric that is dominating the conversation today.
It is reported that the increase we have been hearing Obama repeat since Jan 20th, 2009 about "fair share" and "taxing families over $250K per year" would be around $80 billion. That is a drop in the bucket in terms of doing anything concerning Obama's run away spending vision. So what gives? Is this just a 'get even' measure? though up by progressives that are jealous that they didn't become successful? or is it a pillar of communism?

It is a sad time in history we are seeing here folks, hopefully we can endure, and fix what this progressive shift to the planks of Marx is attempting.
I have a right to complain-I pay more FIT than 65 million americans combined. and they get far more benefits from the government than I do yet many of them demand more benefits and demand people like me pay more taxes
Dh and I pay more income taxes in a year than most families make in year.
But I will not complain about the government benefits other families recieve.
I feel very fortuate that with lots hard work , many hours invested DH's company over the last 40 years that we are doing so well.
Yes, we are more fortuatant than some but that does not make us any better than anyone else who works hard for a living.
I am glad I live in a country that does have a safety net for those less fortuate and I do not mind paying a bit higher tax rate than most families.
great-but i have no use for those who don't pay high taxes saying those who do should pay more. and many of us give tons to charities.

Boo hoo, poor me. I only own 90% of everything, but the big bad government is forcing me to pay an unfair 40% of all taxes! I'm entitled to tax cuts. Gimmie them you parasites.

Boo Hoo, poor me. You make more than me, and I want it, but am unwilling to do the hard work, or take the risk you took to get it. I'm entitled to what you made in the form of redistribution. So give me what I think I am due you greedhead....
See how that works? Go make your own.
Then why are you OK with 10%? Either you honor what your ELECTED officials do - or you don't.
Despite Obama's compulsion to create new [programs, there isn't ANYTHING new being don that hasn't been done for years now. So, apparently all this is constitutional or SCOTUS would have banned it by now. Heck, I've seen claims that TAXES aren't constitutional but along with death, they seem to be widespread.
I thought I offered you a good deal at 40% (I had considered 75% but I didn't want to upset anyone). Make it 35% and we have a del?
