I make enough claimable income to be below the poverty level. I get back 3 times what I pay from the IRS every year lol. The rest of the year, I only work and earn CASH. Dont claim or pay taxes on that. Im not supporting political domestic terrorist democrats and republicans, it's not my job as an American!

Love your definition!

Gropey Old Pervs……

Nice! 👍

The democrats are worse.

All political classes are guilty of corruption.

I do lots of tax returns for 'rich' people...say, over $500,000 per year. Plenty of them pay between 30% to 40% of their income to the Feds every year. (And that's not counting what they pay to a real rip-off state like New York or California on top of that if they're foolish enough to live there).

Define fair share. Begin with lowest quartile earners and work up.

All that excess money they can't spend on 'things' (How many yachts do you need? some have 3 ) they spend on influencing the government.

@@argentaegis If the two lowest quartile earners stopped working the top three quartiles would hemorrhage money at a rate never before seen. That they bear the brunt of everything but struggle to survive while the people doing no work make enough money to buy luxury yachts is not remotely a fair share. You're either paid to post that BS or you're a rube doing it for free.

If you gave me some more of your money, you’d still be rich by world standards. So pay up you greedy goon.

Wanting to work & provide for your family ISN'T a humanitarian crisis. Being pitted against one another for insolvent (see: cheap as fake robots) wages & data ag is.

Actually have you heard of economic elasticity? When supply is more elastic than demand, buyers bear most of the tax burden. When demand is more elastic than supply, producers bear most of the cost of the tax. Luxury items the demand is more elastic than the supply. So it is the companies that produce the items are paying the taxes, not the rich. Often these are smaller companies that provide niche items to the market. A strong healthy economy has lots of niche items, is better than a smaller economy without them. When the taxes get to high it puts these companies out of business, and again because of economic elasticity it is not the rich paying the burden of the tax. Your being brainwashed by these propaganda videos saying the rich not paying their fair share.

​@@TheBaldr you're not wrong about elasticity, but you are wrong in your conclusion. The problem is that there have been decades of tax cuts for the rich, followed by those rich people not paying the relatively low taxes they do owe.

Especially in America, the land of democracy. Benjamin Franklin made a very strong argument for democratizing wealth and property in 1783. "The Remissness of our People in Paying Taxes is highly blameable, the Unwillingness to pay them is still more so. I see in some Resolutions of Town-Meetings, a Remonstrance against giving Congress a Power to take as they call it, the People’s Money out of their Pockets tho’ only to pay the Interest and Principal of Debts duly contracted. They seem to mistake the Point. Money justly due from the People is their Creditors’ Money, and no longer the Money of the People, who, if they withold it, should be compell’d to pay by some Law." "All Property indeed, except the Savage’s temporary Cabin, his Bow, his Matchcoat, and other little Acquisitions absolutely necessary for his Subsistence, seems to me to be the Creature of public Convention. Hence the Public has the Right of Regulating Descents & all other Conveyances of Property, and even of limiting the Quantity & the Uses of it. All the Property that is necessary to a Man for the Conservation of the Individual & the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who by their Laws have created it, and who may therefore by other Laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire & live among Savages.- He can have no right to the Benefits of Society who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it." -Benjamin Franklin

As tempting as it is, don't echo the words of a terrible man quoting an even worse one. That particular phrase harkens back to one of humanities darkest hours. We're better than that.

The government is never greedy for taking people’s money. They still get 18% of GOP! How much more should they get? Why can’t they get spending under control?

Yeah. You are quoting Hitler, dude.

So let me try to understand what youre telling me. You want me vote in favor of more money being taken out of my check so we can go after people I don't care about? You want me to pay more money so we can attack people who you have some personal grudge with? Is that what you're saying?

The USA is already completely broke

They get 18% of GDP! How much should they get? Too much spending is the problem government is grown too big and people have lost freedoms because of it.

@@markbenoit World economies look much better for the poor, working class, and middle class when the rich and wealthy corporations are taxed the most.

@@nicklang7670 that’s totally subjective based on your perspective and political ideologies what’s shown in the media heavily Skews popular opinions. I could show that welfare has done more harm than good. When the war on poverty began in the 1960s it didn’t do what they said it would do! It increased the % of the population that depends on government, it increased the # of fatherless households, which is the key to raising productive members of society. The more they spent it made no difference in lowering the % of the population that was dependent on government, you could argue that had the government done nothing people would have been better off. Number of people in poverty was already declining before the war on poverty started. Also you have to look at how poverty is measured, studies don’t include the amount of government services poor people receive, poor people in America consume three times the amount of stuff then poor people in other countries.

@@markbenoit I am poor and working class my opinion is not subjective, it directly benefits people like me not rich people and wealthy corporations. If your going to use an A.I. to have a debate it will include your own biases. History is completely relevant in so many opposite contexts that proves the argument you used is wrong. Just look how much of the history you have chosen not to include because almost all of it proves the argument you used is wrong. For instance in the 50’s when the statistic for the average salary during the time is used it will most likely not include women or people of colour, remember science and studies before not too long ago only represented white men.

They need Jeff Bezos yelling "ITS THE GUNDAM!" and cue that funky seventies soundtrack.

They also get rich because they have tax incentives to produce outside of the US, there are tax havens, including 'non profit Foundations' they have changed laws to move millions to their heirs tax free, they also are allowed to consolidate, creating giant monopolies 'too big to fail' and have blocked raising minimum wage for decades, all fixes we know how to make, we made them almost 100 years ago against the last Robber Barons.

No, the wealthy do not *_get_* wealthy by cheating on their taxes; but once wealthy or born wealthy, a large portion of them will get *_wealthier_* by playing fast and loose with the rules... and by buying Congressmen who will underfund the IRS and write fiscal policy that favors them.

How can you not have known this already?

@@timothyjackson4653 Don't be naive. There's a reason the French Revolution got rid of them.

Who donates more of there money and time to charities? It’s not democrats!

@@markbenoit Those are not donations. They are _investments,_ for which the "donors" _expect a return_ in the form of more money than what they originally invested. If they end up losing those investments, those "donors" will turn to legal action to get that money back. They are carrots with sticks attached.

Then, for employees that have to go on the public exchange for health insurance, essentially, the government subsidizes that expense for the company, who pockets the cash. Companies like Walmart are taking advantage of this.

The irony is that you could just cut the tax break companies get from providing health insurance so people can afford it on their own. Progressive care so concerned about volunteering other people to do things for them that they don't even bother to ask why the system is messed up in the first place. When you have complicated legal and tax systems, people will cheat. How does it make any sense to champion policy initiatives from people who are also taking part in the cheating (politicians)?

Yeah, but Scandinavians and Canadians have healthcare for all. Not just for the rich and the very, very poor. I would mind if everyone is covered.😮

Define "fair share"? Better yet, what percentage of all taxes should you and everyone who makes less than you (75k is mean so that's tidy) pay? That would be about half the US population. What's "fair" for the entire lower half of all income earners as a percentage of all taxes?

The fallacy is that the IRS writes the tax code...THEY DO NOT! It is written by the lawyers and politicians in Congress. (With the 'help' of the massive numbers of corporate lobbyists breathing down their necks and giving them campaign contributions all the time).

I wholeheartedly agree. No one likes the IRS, lol, but getting them to work properly & fairly does indeed make them at least *tolerable*

Not always true.

Also don't just label all rich kids like that either (no I'm not rich) but Brennan Lee Mulligan is a nepo baby but he's also an amazing human same goes for Sam Reich (Robert's son). Yes most rich kids are plucks, but some deserve a fair shake especially when ethics align.

Scapegoating the wealthy solves nothing. There will _always_ be a wealthiest 1% (and a 0.1%) someone will always be “the richest person” regardless of how progressive the tax system is, so the focus needs to be on making the tax system fair, and ensuring that _everyone_ plays by the rules, no scofflaws and minimal loopholes. There are plenty of people who grew up rich who are good people, who pay their fair share, who contribute to society in proportion to their means, they are running businesses that employ people, they are starting new businesses, innovating, and driving economic growth. Having said that, I agree that there are spoiled rich brats who are terrible people living off their trust funds, but vilifying them is no more productive than when Republicans vilify illegal immigrants. My suggestion is that we need a more aggressively progressive income tax code, probably running as high as 45%, to redistribute wealth so that the top 1% of wealthiest Americans control like 10% of the total wealth (instead of the 30% they currently own) and the 0.1% control like 2%, instead of the 14% they currently own. The problem isn’t that some people are rich, the problem is that too many people are poor, and the economic gains of the past 20 years have been very unequally distributed, accumulating almost entirely with the top 1% and no one else.

@@EvoraGT430 Not always but most of the time. 70% of wealth in the US is inherited.

​@@TutelGaming901a lot of that "wealth" is just the family home or farm.

In short, right-wing propaganda.

They're looking at net income taxes paid rather than total federal taxes. Your paycheck would have FICA, Medicare, SS and such taken out (your employer would owe a roughly equal amount that you paid for these taxes). You'd also have some taken out for income taxes. Frequently the income tax portion would be reduced by standard deductions. Depending on your total earnings, you may well have gotten all of those federal income taxes back in your tax return. However, at minimum wage, the SS Medicare and such might have been the majority of the federal taxes you paid, and you won't get those back... Well, you'll get social security, probably, someday and maybe unemployment. For higher income earners, they pay the SS, Medicare ect (up to a maximum, they have a maxed out SS check too), but federal income taxes are the majority of the taxes paid. They don't get all of it back either through standard deductions. Most of the time, even when they've planned carefully, they pay all that SS tax and likely more than that in federal income taxes. So, while everyone is paying SS/Medicare, about 40% of taxpayers either have sufficient standard deductions to not pay federal income tax or get it all back. If you were at minimum wage, you were likely in that group.

*gundam

You don't have a clue. Lower income and middle-class people were being audited at higher rates because the IRS just didn't have the resources to go after the wealthy and corporations that always have more complicated tax returns. With this increase in funding, ordinary taxpayers are having an easier time getting through on the phone while the IRS is forcing companies and the wealthy to pay up. Facts.

Less than 1% of the US make 500K and up.
