twowheelsnake Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Haha, screw the dems. It's the riches money, they don't owe anyone anything.I agree! As long as they are paying the EXACT tax percentage I do! And no, you can't write off your Ferrari as a company vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I agree! As long as they are paying the EXACT tax percentage I do! And no, you can't write off your Ferrari as a company vehicle.To make them the exact same as yours would be lowering the tax brackets on the rich, not raising them. The tax is progressive, the more you make the more you pay in both dollars and percentage.Now, what you might be thinking of is income tax verses capital gains taxes, where the tax rate is much lower on investment income. But, this is the gaping hole in the logic of the liberals and rich-haters. Income from investment is subject to risk, and thus it is patently unfair and counter-productive to tax it at income levels....namely because it hurts investment which drives all the jobs that us normal people do. Go after that, and the poor and middle class suffer even more, because if you tax my investments hard, I'll stop investing as much or do it overseas.

Who's to blame for the rise of the HMO?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Maintenance_Organization_Act_of_1973Interesting. Who was in office and signed that legislation in 1973?

He is also a hypocritical fucktard of the first order for complaining about the advantages he willfully set up for himself and then takes advantage of.Nice try tho.

You'd be wrong, and Nixon was a fucking idiot.If the HMO industry is one side of the corrupt, awful state of our healthcare, the other is the bloated, well-meaning and clueless government....and the worst offenders have been liberals in creating overwhelmingly burdensome regulations, laws and tort issues that cripple healthcare.Both R's and D's suck donkey dick, on this issue.

ChiefScooter Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 So what do you suggest? I don't know much about this stuff, but maybe we need to wipe out everything and start from scratch as far as healthcare laws and tax laws are concerned. Currently, the laws are crazy complex and full of loopholes, so I have read on the interwebz. Maybe if we start from the ground up, we can create a much better system without all the problems?

To many lawyers embedded with the guberment. They have ensured that all parts are so intertwined no one part can be removed without the whole house of cards coming down. This is another reason Obama care will fail. They have already started exploiting the loopholes to increase profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
