I pay high taxes but lead a decent life. So people get my money back for making less...life goes on. More money, more problems. Less money makes you appreciate what you have and what life is really worth living for. Keep taxing the rich hardcore! Trickle down economics is a joke" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters because it contradicts the lefts traditional line of bull ****. So it makes me mad. But your right, it really isn't the problem. The way the tax money is spent is a bigger problem. Among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 That's why I think Volker's idea of a VAT is a great idea. Just do away with federal income taxes and have people pay for the services they use. It's a great idea. Wait. What? He wants VAT to be IN ADDITION to federal income taxes? Man, we are about to be fubar'ed. Anyone have Dwight's email address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although with CADUSD at par, I'm thinking driving south to pick up a nice SUV isn't such a bad idea right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnykterstein Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Most major corporations don't pay any taxes either. You pay more on your earnings than GM does to the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since GM is owned by the government, I'd say that has no material impact on tax revenues... Secondly, the returns are actually returned to the shareholder.

meazza Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 That's because GM losses money you friggin moron. You don't pay taxes if you don't earn any profit. And when they do, they're subject to double taxation... Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
