Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cecenrse: Every single American owes it to themselves to pay as little in taxes as possible while using every loophole and opportunity that congress enacted. Let rich people keep their money, the poor sure don't pay their fair share either. Fuck that noise about people not paying enough in taxes. #TaxationIsTheft Many of the poor get our share that we paid in through earned income and child credits in returns. They get more than they paid in. Often they never even paid any in but still get a check from the IRS |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Win1300: I guess we will have to agree to disagree. The ultra wealthy have the means to utilize loopholes note available to the average American. From the article: The idea of a regular tax on income, much less on wealth, does not appear in the country’s founding documents. In fact, Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits “direct” taxes on citizens under most circumstances. This meant that for decades, the U.S. government mainly funded itself through “indirect” taxes: tariffs and levies on consumer goods like tobacco and alcohol. With the costs of the Civil War looming, Congress imposed a national income tax in 1861. The wealthy helped force its repeal soon after the war ended. (Their pique could only have been exacerbated by the fact that the law required public disclosure. The annual income of the moguls of the day — $1.3 million for William Astor; $576,000 for Cornelius Vanderbilt — was listed in the pages of The New York Times in 1865.) and In the early years, the personal income tax worked as Congress intended, falling squarely on the richest. In 1918, only 15% of American families owed any tax. The top 1% paid 80% of the revenue raised, according to historian W. Elliot Brownlee. But a question remained: What would count as income and what wouldn’t? In 1916, a woman named Myrtle Macomber received a dividend for her Standard Oil of California shares. She owed taxes, thanks to the new law. The dividend had not come in cash, however. It came in the form of an additional share for every two shares she already held. She paid the taxes and then brought a court challenge: Yes, she’d gotten a bit richer, but she hadn’t received any money. Therefore, she argued, she’d received no “income.” Four years later, the Supreme Court agreed. In Eisner v. Macomber, the high court ruled that income derived only from proceeds. A person needed to sell an asset — stock, bond or building — and reap some money before it could be taxed. Since then, the concept that income comes only from proceeds — when gains are “realized” — has been the bedrock of the U.S. tax system. Wages are taxed. Cash dividends are taxed. Gains from selling assets are taxed. But if a taxpayer hasn’t sold anything, there is no income and therefore no tax. Contemporary critics of Macomber were plentiful and prescient. Cordell Hull, the congressman known as the “father” of the income tax, assailed the decision, according to scholar Marjorie Kornhauser. Hull predicted that tax avoidance would become common. The ruling opened a gaping loophole, Hull warned, allowing industrialists to build a company and borrow against the stock to pay living expenses. Anyone could “live upon the value” of their company stock “without selling it, and of course, without ever paying” tax, he said. So if you have an asset - let's say a stock or a house that has appreciated in value greatly - you can "borrow" against that increased value and use the money borrowed on "investments". And the money you "borrowed" will allow you to deduct the interest you paid in some cases. This article points out the absurdity of the federal income tax. It is designed to protect those who typically donate $$ to the elected officials. If you are okay with that - that's fine. I'm not. Note the following Most Americans have to work to live. When they do, they get paid — and they get taxed. The federal government considers almost every dollar workers earn to be “income,” and employers take taxes directly out of their paychecks. The Bezoses of the world have no need to be paid a salary. Bezos’ Amazon wages have long been set at the middle-class level of around $80,000 a year. and Yet this is not the self-effacing gesture it appears to be: Wages are taxed at a high rate. The top 25 wealthiest Americans reported $158 million in wages in 2018, according to the IRS data. That’s a mere 1.1% of what they listed on their tax forms as their total reported income. The rest mostly came from dividends and the sale of stock, bonds or other investments, which are taxed at lower rates than wages. If this doesn't trouble you - I don't know what to say. That is, for every $100 of wealth growth over that period, typical Americans paid $160 in taxes. Bezos paid only $1.09. Your writing reads like a communist wrote it. |

The fact that Soros who openly hates America and wants to destroy it - yet benefits from all that it offers has multiple years where he paid zero taxes - is absurd. I’m glad we agree on things. If I may, the scenarios you’ve noted are not absurd at all. Income is income, gains must be realized to be taxable. Furthermore, deductions are there to be taken (deductions are not “loopholes”, which is pejorative). Corporate income is not individual income. We don’t tax wealth or net worth, nor should we. Capital gains should be taxed at a low enough rate to encourage investment (if we must tax them at all). The correct answer isn’t to tax people more or tax the wealthy more or to use income tax rates to equalize outcomes. The correct answer is to remove the income tax as a lever of government power. The leftist appeal to fairness and envy is effective, it is also a canard. Don’t be swayed by the leftist propaganda. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By m24shooter: Class of '95 here, although my diploma says SWTSU. Great undergrad school and experience, and I say that having been a transfer from UT Austin. SWTSU is not those other schools, but it is still among the woke schools and has done some pants-on-the-head retard stuff in the name of wokism. The anthropology department is pretty significant and I would not be surprised to see some kind of censure. I don't think it will be firing. Not surprising. There was a surprising amount of it at A&M when my daughter graduated in 2014 and has gradually increased according to friends who have children there. It makes you wonder if there are any truly conservative schools left. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Gopher: Not surprising. There was a surprising amount of it at A&M when my daughter graduated in 2014 and has gradually increased according to friends who have children there. It makes you wonder if there are any truly conservative schools left. When I graduated HS I had scholarships to A&M and UT Austin. I turned down A&M because it reminded me of going to a prison (Corps of Cadets) and Austin looked like a lot more fun. Once I got on campus at UT I hated the student body for the most part. And this was early 90s. A&M was solidly conservative then. I played lacrosse and A&M had the big tournament there for the SWAC, and we played A&M twice a year on top of that so I got to go over there several times a year. I actually like going there and never really had a problem on campus even wearing Longhorn gear. I had several friends that went there at the same time, and the environment was very different than what it is now. She Who Must Be Obeyed's family has a lot of A&M grads in it, some as recent as your daughter and a year or two later. My daughter was considering going there and we went down to look at the campus and it was a totally different experience from when I was there as an undergrad. I don't know what schools can still be considered solidly conservative. I think some departments of some state schools are conservative, but that's about it. |

It is humid as fuck though. 90 is a mild day. But thrown in 90-something percent humidity and that's all she wrote, son. EDIT: Or the dew point. I can't remember which one. I'm no weather surgeon. |
