Is the crazy holding you back?

BULLSHIT!!! All you have to do is raise taxes to 90% on everyone who makes more that the millions I make every year while all of you fuckers are sucking up welfare!

[/style]

NO ONE makes millions in salary, and therein lies the entire fallacy of his thought processes. He doesn't have a fucking clue as to how our tax system truly works to begin with.

Look, he's clearly in the top 2%.

We should really listen to him and pay attention.

In their first terms, presidents tend to have fewer events. Ronald Reagan hosted 80 fundraising events in his first term. George H.W. Bush beat it with 137 events in his single term, while Bill Clinton managed 167 events. George W. Bush hosted 173 fundraisers, which Obama fitted in more than any other president — 321 events in his first term.

At least he's got that going for him. So many people have suggested he's not a "top" or "best" President. But he certainly is #1 in fundraising!

EVANSTON —" After headlining a mega donor fundraiser for Gov. Pat Quinn — about 25 people at $50,000 per — President Barack Obama helicopters to Northwestern University .... "





Clearly he scolded those rich folk right? People rich enough to give $50,000 to a pol.

One 1%er scolds another 1%er because it plays well to the proles.

Just look at the posts in this thread; lots of proles sticking up for those poor, put upon rich folk.

As Ish would say, right before his glass of Ensure, *chuckle*

Sweetie, I said it before and I'll say it once more. Historians evaluation of the Obama years will have Franklin Peirce dancing in his grave.

Ehhh I can do whatever I want...if that means slacking for another cup of coffee then so be it.

Problem?

Soooooo.....any examples of mo' spending + lower taxes = better country? Improved living standards? Better educated? Healthier? Happier? Economic boom for anyone other than the 4,000 folks holding all the cards?

Just 1.....just 1...

I'm betting dollars to doughnuts that those contracts are written in such a manner that direct taxable income is severely reduced. If not they, their agents, and their lawyers are fools.

Which year botany?

Which fucking year was the golden one. Give us a ball park instead of trying to pick a topic other than the one you introduced.

It must be nice to be a successful millionaire who can set his own hours and put aside really important work for another coffee and blunt in order to fight the really important fight for the decimation of everyone above you. Of course, if you can tear them down, then you'll be the 1% and a lot more sated...



... for a brief moment in the sun.

If you think it is acceptable to take a percentage of someone's income above your station in life, then everyone in that station, as well as everyone below your station in life will find it perfectly acceptable to take like amount from you.

Doesn't change the fact that millions of legally taxed dollars hit their account on the reg.

NO ONE hua? LOL god damn this is the best lit action I've had all week...what a crime I can't sit in my underwear all day.

I'd take that bet, old man.

Your hero Saint Gipper put the Alternative Minimum Tax in place just to deal with those sort of shenanigans.

Doubling down on your false unsupportable statement?

I asked first asshole.

I'll write you a 1500 word essay on it, MLA format A+ post grad level paper.

Just as soon as you point out a single real world example (a nation) where what you say has worked.

It must be nice to be a successful millionaire who can set his own hours and put aside really important work for another coffee and blunt

It's the fuckin' shit....for serious.

I have no problem paying top tier taxes. 80% let's go.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Funny...it's never worked like that in the real world. Biggest economic booms we have ever enjoyed as a nation followed some of the heaviest taxation. Not the other way around....



ummm no.

What years are you talking about?

Are you accusing Obama of Republican methods?

Are you now going to go bat-guano crazy?

No, you did not.

You made an unsupported statement and I called you on it.

When I called you out, then you asked your serious hypothetical question.

You cannot now be intellectually honest about hiding behind the latter in order to avoid the former.

Tell us when this golden age was. Tell us the how mechanisms of taxation worked against the backdrop of reality.

Pro athletes in the three major sports paid more than three billion with a b in federal taxes in 2013.

No, advertisers and fans paid more than 3 billion in taxes last year on top of subsidizing the stadiums through local taxation.

Those costs are factored into the salaries.

"Bluster it out" has been a conservative favorite for years. What's sweet is watching the second-tier wingnuts like Queerbait try and do this now as well.

Actually I would even bother to argue his point. After the monies he's speaking of is nothing more than a minor rounding error.

I think he was being facetious. There are lots of people who have ordinary income in excess of $1M.
