Gator Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 If Obama is going to raise taxes on those that make OVER $250,000 a year, then why are all the rich media folk that make millions all for him?:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 If Obama is going to raise taxes on those that make OVER $250,000 a year, then why are all the rich media folk that make millions all for him?:confused: LOL, think some are proably not so happy about it Jason. O'Reilly on Fox was seemingly pretty irritated with Obama on that topic and asked him point blank if he intended to raise his taxes from 35% to 50%. Typical tap dancing act instead of an answer given by Obama in my opinion, redistribution of their income to those who do not pay any taxes is what he is out to do but he will never admit that. Maybe some of the more mainstream media folks are able to come up with enough breaks that they do not have to worry about it, don't know.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Once you get to the level of making millions, you can find (or hire someone to find) ways to dodge around the tax code. There are always loopholes. That's why I've always favored a flat tax. No deductions, period. If you're the kid mowing lawns and make $500 during the summer, or if you're the CEO of GE and make $500 million, you're both going to pay that same 10%.

JJL Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 The best part is NO one will say whether thats'$250,000 gross or $250,000 net. HUGE difference. If it's gross...........you just turned a whole bunch of small business owners such as myself into tax evaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nativetexan Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 My belief is that most rich people have more dollars than sense. The one thing that astounds me is when they come on T.V. and encourage us to "give" then drive away from the studio in their Ferrari. Now, I don't mind giving, and I will continue to, but I don't need some rich liberal telling me to dig deep when the most they do is stand in a soup line for a photo op. But, I am getting off topic here. The simple fact is when you have the rich liberal elite voting for (and encouraging us to vote for) another member of the rich liberal elite, then one can simply deduce that they have spent some time in a location that was extremely starved of oxygen, and the damage is irreversible.
