How about you and the good missus out of the "pay it back" spirit just 2x what you owe the IRS this year. Or 3x? 5x?


Anybody who makes less than me is destitute.
Anybody who makes more than me is rich.

(It's like Carlin's theory of drivers: faster are maniacs, slower are morons.)

Oh, the old "you can voluntarily donate to the federal government in lieu of higher taxes" canard.

Get that weak shiat out of here, meat.

If you can't refute it claim it's ... "Another lie."

Is that you Donald?
When'd you get Scoob's password?

Talk's cheap. It takes money to buy whiskey.

If you believe the Feds need more money, quit talkin' and start writing zeros on your check.

Yeah, UNO is the one being intellectually dishonest and not addressing the issue... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight :rolleyes:

Yes anyone can volunteer to pay more but we know the Koch brothers and other billionaires aren't going to do it hence why we're proposing something to solve that problem.

He has to be trolling. That argument is like something you read in the comment section of your local news site.

Dr. Mrs. and I would pay more under my proposal. I am OK with that, but I want my fellow rich soaked too.

It looks like we would pay much less tax under yours.

The whole purpose of a sound tax plan is to minimize tax avoidance while maximizing income. With too low a rate the people will rejoice. While you may goose the economy with extra money in circulation, you don't take in enough to fund operations.

Too high and people will grouse and will find ways of avoiding paying tax whether through barter or employing accountants and Lawyers to exclude income from taxation. Again, the government takes in too little.

Yeah, it is a Laffer Curve. The trick is finding the minimum rate that generates the maximum income without blowing up the economy.

Somewhere between my minimalist approach and your off with their wallets, is a solution.

BTW, how about an estate tax on liquid assets and real property beyond the 1st home? The vacation home in Vail and the yacht in Newport plus the stock portfolio, bank accounts, precious metals and minerals, etc. get taxed. Personal property < $X is exempt.

I have no problem with an exemption based system like you have above. None. I don't think a single Democrat in Congress does. What they/I have a problem with is doing away with it altogether.

And the key is the rate and what X is. Make it too punitive and it won't work. You want a little bite, not a great white shark

Congratulations, you have just encouraged people to not work hard, because they're not going to see any benefit from it; it will simply be stolen from them.

Corporations are only people when it comes to political contributions:). People will still be getting salary from corps for hard work

Or they will quit

Anything cutting the estate tax is a non-starter. My offer, Senator, is nothing.

I would be willing to cut corporate rates in exchange for raising capital gains to the level of earned income and raising the higher income personal tax rates. The people who make the money from corporations should pay taxes. The companies themselves should just be regarded as machines for creating products and jobs.

I would cut taxes on the middle class and raise them on the rich. The Democrats never make the obvious trade-off -- the rich have gotten fat and happy and looted the treasury since 1981, if not 1961.

We gave them a 30- to 50- year loan.

Time to pay it back.

Dems think if you are making over 75k you are super rich :)

John Kerry said so
