Well, I guess everybody should take that to the bank. From somebody who says
I'm Capt. Neal it means it's 100% fact. Your worse than Capt. JG with your imaginings.....

Just hanging on my every word...if you're not Neal, then you're a very
strange chicky...by the way, your use of "your" is consistently
incorrect...it's a contraction...but you know that...

No idea. I'm not an economist nor do I work for the IRS. I think it's
somewhere between 10 and 50 percent.

I'm heartened by the philanthropy of some of the super rich, but this
doesn't obviate the need to collect taxes for the general good.

No. They're citizens and should pay their fair share.

So, Jon, to be a "fair share," what percentage of total income taxes
should
be paid by:

The top 5% in income earners?

The top 10% in income earners?

The top 50% in income earners?

Not you Katy... I only complain about other men. I never complain about hot
babes.. :-)

You're right, I've noticed that too Katy. Thats why I do not think
Ellen is Neal.
Neal would never make that grammer error. Most likely Ellen is " KO"
BTW thats in Katy code.

It's Neal....he's smart enough to try to throw some of you off by
deliberately disguising his posts...don't fall for it...you see, he
believes that a girl like the one he's trying to impersonate wouldn't
know the difference in the homonyms...or ebven that the words were
homonyms...and do you honestly think someone serious would post all the
giggling? Only silly girls, which is what Neal feels all women are,
giggle.

Isn't Neal traveling the country with his Airstream? I heard he had his
colon resectioned and it is difficult for him to move about or in and out of
his sailboat so he sold it.

Actually, the tax should be slightly skewed progressively (ie the top
earners pay more) because they gain more from the system. That's the way
the system is now, except that the max skew occurs in the people in the
50 - 75% brackets... about 5% skewed as I recall.


The problem lies in that the tax rate changes depening on how you make
the money. If you *earn* it by *working* it's taxed at a higher rate
than if you obtain it without working. That's my main beef with the tax
system.

A guy who busts his ass working as a plumber or a ditch digger pays a
higher rate than a guy who makes much more flipping condos or bonds.
And the guy who makes money flipping condos in turn pays a higher rate
than the lucky offspring of the well to do who "earn" their fortune
simply by virtue of outliving their parents.

Plus, workers whose salary is more than $90k don't pay FICA on the
amount over that. If you make money via dividends or capital gains, no
FICA is due at all.
