Not at all. Too many of the rich have too many ways to avoid
manner of
serious taxation. Trump also wants to eliminate the AMT. If, if
you want
to eliminate the estate tax and perhaps the AMT, just tax all
income as
ordinary income, okay? Okay?
The AMT ends up grabbing a lot of middle class people. It was a
"good
idea" that backfired.
As for tax, I would go with a flat tax if I wanted to be fair. Just
set a pretty high personal exemption and tax the rest at a flat
rate,
no deductions. If it was 16%, guys like Buffett would be paying more
... if you believe what he says.
I have no problem with taxing all income as ordinary income.Â* But
qualified
dividends were already taxed at the 39% corporate tax rate, and
then the
person getting them pays 20% of that money to the Fed.Â*Â* Seems as
if that
makes a tax rate of about 51%. Fair?
I doubt many corporations are paying at the 39% rate.
It depends on 39% of what?
That is what they pay on their profits but like most taxes, with the
right accountant, you can reduce your tax liabilities. If you had a
simpler tax code, you could reduce the rate and still get as much if
not more money.
Why, you must be reporting fake news, because Oracle Trump claims big
corporations doing business here are paying at that 39% rate, even
though it has been reported on the news over and again that big
corporations basically can run their books in ways that absolutely
minimize their taxes. Wait...is Trump bull****ting us all *again*?
No question the big corporations can afford to pay lawyers and
accountants to find every tax loophole available to them.Â* Trump's tax
proposal lowers the tax rate for them slightly but eliminates many of
the loopholes.
He's plan is centered on middle class tax cuts with business
incentives to keep profits here rather than overseas.
His plan? What plan? There's no plan.
You've been snoozing for the last couple of weeks?
