40%. Right now they pay 33%.

No, right now they pay 39.6% in federal taxes. If you live in California, you can tack on another 13.3%. That is a total of 52.9% of their income going to the government. You lefties just spout stupidity off about them "paying their fair share." Plain stupidity. It is only envy.

So tell me. What gives the government the right to 53% of the citizens income?

If it is true that they pay 50%, then that is unfair.

Yes, but most young people then start making real money by the age of 35 and slowly turn to logic. Idiot Tang does not understand basic math even if the tax rate is 37%. Someone who made $100mil is paying $37 mil in taxes. How much more does Tang want that person to pay? Honestly. Someone who makes $100k and is in the 25% bracket pays $25k.

Hmmmm....$37mil vs. $25k? Lets tax the rich more!!!!!!!!!

Tang needs to learn percents and what an "ally" is. He is a total moron. Actually I just insulted morons by calling Tang a moron.

Right. So let's say we adopt the CCCP proposal. Tax based on actual money payed, not percent. We have two options.

1. Make the poor pay 37 million dollars of their income every year and.... Wait... Poor people don't own 37 million dollars..Ok..

2. Lower the taxes the rich pays to 25k! Yeah! Equality! Also the Feds won't raise any money and the world economy collapses!

Look at it on the flip side. The rich take home 73 million per year. The 100k person takes home 73k per year. If we wanted to raise money, who would be the best option to raise taxes on? I wonder...

7% on $100mil is $7mil.

The poor are poor because they are bad with money. Why punish those who are good with money?

Dummy. Oh and you cannot block me here. So I am free to call you a dumbass all day.

Dumbass.

If you think that taking home 60 million dollars per year instead of 67 million per year is a punishment then I have no words for you.

What gives the government the right to 53% of a private citizens income?

I just said that if it is 53% then it is too high.

That is what it is in a few states. Now do you see why I think it's madness when you always suggest raising taxes on them.

Is it at 53%? I read 33%.

The top federal income tax bracket is over 39.6%. After that, you have to tack on state and local taxes which drives it up to 50% or more in most places.

You idiot it is "paid" not "payed".

The poor pay nothing. They receive an earned income credit. The rich pay enough and employ persons such a landscaper or a housekeeper. We need to spend less not tax more. We need to clean up corruption and we certainly need people like you to get a clue.

Yes, the $73mil that person EARNED to do with as he pleases. That is called capitalism. If you don't like it then move.

HMMMmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Let's see.

If I were poor...I would rather live....IN....?

1.) Syria or Lebanon
2.) Russia or China
3.) Africa or a South American revolution
4.) Between Jews and Arabs
5.) Really close to America or where it's cold a lot of the time

This is really hard. I'll need a few minutes.

I read that the tax cut lowered it to 37%. Either way, that's the top, right? I saw lots of figures, mostly in the low 30's. So IDK if it is actually 50% or more for most people in the top 1%.

OK, so if the poor paying 'nothing' is a problem then how do we fix it? What would a perfect world look like to you?

I agree that we need to make cuts. Again, I suggested cutting the military budget significantly. What would you cut, CCCP?

Yep. Take home that 73 mil and do whatever the hell you want.

BTW Strikeout, it's buried now but I answered to your posts on the tang vs CCCP thread.

Well...let's take a look at the current budget together and see where we can cut it.

I heard Trump already found BILLIONS of savings in unspent money.

I'm sure the liberals won't have a problem with those savings.
