IDBillzFan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Not as a percentage of their wealth. A middle class person pays a higher percentage of what they make and own to taxes than the top 1 percent do Sometimes I think no one can be this stupid. And then you post again and I have to rethink myself. Tell me...what percentage of your wealth do you pay in taxes every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, how do you even manage to live in the real world? Do you repeatedly stab yourself in the eye with your fork while trying to eat, or routinely get your fingers tangled in your velcro shoe straps when you tie them?

Taxes are already paid on income as it's earned you pathetic retard. That's what 'wealth' is, what you save after taxes. If you had more than $12 in the bank maybe you'd understand that. And no a middle class person does NOT pay a higher % of what they earn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Only chance of that happening is to enact single-term limits for everyone. Prez: 1 term, six years Senate: 1 term, six years House: 1 term, four years. No re-elections. No career politicians. 4-6 years is plenty of time for lobbyists to buy a politician. Especially if said lobbyists are giving money to campaign efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're actually suggesting a tax on wealth would be a good idea? Can you envison any negative unintended consequences of such a policy? Further, you never answered my question.

So in conclusion, the poorest in the US pay a higher tax on wealth than the richest Americans, but only other countries directly tax wealth, so...REPUG!!!

Hard to understand how your party got embarrassingly wiped out last week. so in conclusion, the wealth and income disparity between the very thin upper crust and everyone else is rapidly increasing and already problematic. there are mechanisms available through taxation that could mitigate the further rise of that discrepancy.
