Yep.
Also it's not WEALTH that is taxed. It's INCOME. So as long as a person or company has enough write offs to not show INCOME then they won't pay taxes. So Buffet has billions in wealth. And now to offset his income he's giving a ton of it away to charity. It's all about avoiding taxes.
Taxes SUCK. I think that all of you who are so hot to raise taxes would start paying them then, you can be happy. Me? I don't want to give those criminals in Washington one more penny than I have to.
If a person earns their money they should be able to keep it.
And if you want to raise more money for the govt. then take away ALL deductions and charge a flat tax of 15% and require that ALL citizens pay it. 'Cause right now...most Americans don't pay income tax at all. I'm pretty sure that it's 1% of Americans paying all the taxes.
Now THAT isn't fair. And it isn't fair for people to get tax "refunds" when they don't even pay ANY tax in the first place.
Remember a few years back when the federal govt. sent out those checks to everybody? Well...EVERYBODY shouldn't have gotten them. Just the few who actually pay taxes.
Have any of these cultural warfare people who HATE the rich (and I guess want to be poor all of their lives) ever thought that IF everyone paid 15% with no deductions (and I mean EVERYONE) that this country would be swimming in govt. revenues? Of course the crooks in Washington D.C. would still spend all of it and then more too...
