12clicks and friends now take home 24% of total US income
 

Nah, but they sure pretend like they do.

"The richest 1 percent of Americans now take home almost 24 percent of income, up from almost 9 percent in 1976."

"From 1980 to 2005, more than four-fifths of the total increase in American incomes went to the richest 1 percent."

"The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers would get a tax cut of $61,000 from President Obama. They would get $370,000 from Republicans, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. And that provides only a modest economic stimulus, because the rich are less likely to spend their tax savings."

You get the point.

You spelled him wrong...its 12dicks.

Work harder

what's the income bracket for that 1% group?

share some $$$ with friends

WORK HARDER hahaha - this is the Republicunt buzz term to the masses - Pass some laws to LET US GET RICHER without working for it, but you should WORK HARDER


hahahaha 12 Clicks is such a fucking moron!

Way more than he makes. :1orglaugh

12clicks is nowhere near that income bracket.

good advice rep for you :thumbsup

Why do the rich owe you anything? They already pay most of your tax for you... so maybe its about time you stepped up and started paying your fair share ...

This plus stop bailing out the fucking banks and they will stop giving themselves huge bonuses.

No its not good advice. Hard work will simply get you a busted back and leave you poor when your old. I Doubt many on this forum actually work hard, they just look at porn all day and maybe make a few posts on forums.

Work smarter, work less, conceal your income and pay less tax while at the same time abuse those who do real hard work as stupid and lazy.

Damn, you nailed em.

"richest 1 percent?" yeah right. maybe they make a herbal supplement to improve brain function.

I've never called hardworking people stupid or lazy as I am one myself. I simply have no time for the mental midgetry that passes for the great unwashed intelligence. all being broadcast from mom's house. :thumbsup

meh, neg repped. My dad worked hard all his life, now the poor guy can barely walk. Just saying id rather work smart than hard, make my money and use that money to enjoy my life.

meh, you go right ahead sitting around on your ass waiting for your chance to work smart. it will come, I promise! :1orglaugh

the bank bailout was profitable for the country btw.

Flat 25-27% tax for all is what I want to see.
will never happen though.

Thanks for believing in me :thumbsup

believing in you?
honey, I already know where you'll end up.

why in the world would you want the government to take that much?
a flat 15% is all they'd need.

arguing about whether or not hard work pays off? and justifying not working hard due to someone being barely able to walk.

jeez.

note to self: get into top 1% asap

I doubt if many in porn are in the top 1% and in Internet porn I doubt if many are in the top 10%.

There's just not and never been that kind of money in porn and spread way to much.

Those I knew who were in the top earners in porn invested the money from porn in other ventures.

yes but we are in the top 1% on a world wide income level. if steven spielburg or jerry brukhimer only had porn money they would be very very stressed indeed

I am not too concerned with how much someone else makes or pays in taxes. Good for them. I support lower taxes for all people because I believe most of the current activities of the federal government are illegitimate and unconstitutional......... and therefore I believe the best remedy is to limit its revenue as much as possible.

Starve the beast. :2 cents:

its funny watching guys give away info on themselves thru their outlook on the world.

top 1% = $350k and up

top 10% = $113k


plenty of guys in our business in both those groups.

well said. and I agree.

no fucking shit lol.

I was playing with you sir. I think the top 1% is closer to $400k per year but either way, there are a lot of webmasters in that bracket for sure.

more imaginary triumphs of a chat board hero?

I stand corrected.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Househo..._United_States

Here is the earnings over the last few years. http://www.ntu.org/tax-basics/who-pa...ome-taxes.html

I would of put the top 1% over the million a year mark. So lots of people in the top 10% including me up till a few years ago. :thumbsup

True dat fine sire.
:pimp

Although, I would place a wager 50% of the visible adult online industry is under $36,000 and 85% under $50,000.00 annually.

That's about the same % that are part-timers in this biz... if you include only those that do this fulltime for a living there are plenty of people that pull in 6 figures a year... :2 cents:

I'm not sure if we are discussing "household income" here, are we? Household = you, your wife, and your cousin that happens to live with you...
so household income of $100k/year = $33k per person, which is fuck all... :2 cents:

Top 1% ? $277,983 this is from 07 but sure its not that far off today

Top 0.1% — $1,134,849

I read a figure that said $377,xxx that was from 2005. Haven't seen two matching sources yet, either way it's no money but a fuckload more than most will ever have.

True dat. Hitting $100,000.00 is not that hard to do.
:2 cents:

i'm including about 5% to cover health care.

I would pay way less in taxes and no insurance premiums...

It's probably only 1% of the people in our Industry that could pay themselves 'personally' $300k+ a year.

Most people in this Industry suck the Company dry every chance they get just to make that type of money. To safely draw an income like that, you need a Company earning $3 million or more a year - depending on expenses, with a million liquid cash in the Corp bank and a personal net worth for the owner.

Otherwise, you're just being a poser and putting your Company in danger. So realistically, less than 1% in this Industry safely pays themselves that much year after year.

only because the industry is bloated with part timers, fly by night programs, and pretenders.

I'd rather pay way less in taxes and continue to buy the best healthcare in the world.
I'd rather give 5% of my wealth to a doctor than to the government.

Actually, there are people in this country that work hard, save their money. Then come to find that with the current administration lowering interest rates to help those that fucked up and the people they hurt, is hurting them by lowering their income from the interest they saved.

True... and a bunch of Company owners that think a few million a year or 10 or even 100 million a year is anything but chump change in the real business world. Banks feel the same way, easily less than .1% qualify for an actual big business account at any major Bank in our Industry. So in the end, we're all - even the top player - is small fish swimming in some rich persons money they shit out that morning for breakfast.

What's the advantage of keeping $$ in the corporation? If the corporation would ever need the funds, the owner can always just lend it back to the corporation at any time...

true, which makes comments from the peanut gallery even more laughable.

It's not about leaving the money in the Corp... That's more about building it up to a safety point. Bad luck, down eco, major lawsuits, the general unknown but expected business stuff.

Fund wise... If you take the money, it's taxed. if you give it to the Corp, it has a debt to you or you lose the money. One way or another, it's a loss. In the reverse, you could have invested the money, delayed the tax, possibly increased the pool of money, and pulled it when needed. Or if you're doing it to grow business, you could have done a loan to share holder or to the new corp, giving it a debt to start with - passing some tax relief down the chain - without costing you personally.
