I never said that they should be raised. I said that they should pay their
fair share.

Rich means to me anyone who makes over 200K a year.

Well, Jon, you keep saying taxes on some folks you call "the rich" should
be
raised because they aren't paying their "fair share." It's impossible to
address that claim rationally unless one knows just what "the rich" means
to
you, and what you think is a "fair share" for them. So I'm trying to get
some hard numbers that can be dealt with instead of silly mush words like
"the rich" and "fair share."

I know you're not that dense... middle income American... the middle

What's a "middle American?" They have higher federal income taxes in Iowa
and South Dakota?

So, then it's ok with you that Haliburton makes money and doesn't pay taxes
on it. Ok.

And, I said I don't know. I said that what seems fair is between 10 and 50
percent. Are you really that dense? (one question)

So now can you answer the question? Here it is again.

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?

That calls for 3 answers.

What percentage of the total is a "fair share" to be paid by the top 5% in
income earners?

What percentage of the total is a "fair share" to be paid by the top 10%
in
income earners?

What percentage of the total is a "fair share" to be paid by the top 50%
in
income earners?

They absolutely were! All kinds of tax incentives, benefits, and freebees,
including no-bid contracts.

they overcharged the government for services in Iraq, which is criminal,

I wasn't aware they were given a tax break to boot.

They weren't. As usual, Jon doesn't know what he's talking about, but has
fastened on spin put on a rather slim reed by some left wing blog.

Halliburton, like virtually all public companies, reports income on an
accrual basis. When there is timing difference between taxes actually
paid,
and taxes allocated to a period under accrual accounting, the company
creates a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability on its balance
sheet. Then when the timing difference reverses itself that deferred asset
or liability is charged rather than charging income for the period. If it
appears that the deferred tax asset will not be used (such as, for
example,
because the company doesn't think it will have enough future income to use
it) or that more of it will be used than previously assumed, the deferred
asset or liability must be revalued. That revaluation affects the accrual
for taxes for the period in which the adjustment is made.

In 2005, Halliburton revalued a deferred tax asset relating to asbestos
and
silicosis claims. As a result of this revaluation, the reported effective
tax rate for 2005 was only 3%. In the past the effective rate has been
33-37%, and in future years the effective rate is expected to be in line
with the historical rate. Should Halliburton have to revalue the deferred
tax asset the other direction, you would see an exceptionally high
effective
tax rate for the period of that revaluation.

You don't have a clue, Joey! Ellen is not me...

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.

Katy doesn't have a clue about Capt. Neal. She believes that "ChiChi"
posting from a cable in DFW is CN, while he is posting from the Keys!
hahahaaaahahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Not to mention, I was at a client's office and found my way to this group
and posted a quick one liner...katyklueless immediately accused me of being
Capt. Neal. I laughed so hard, my sides were hurting. If anyone listens to
this women who is incapable of learning anything about spelling (3rd grade
level) or posting on ng's (beginner level) is really stupid. (to put it
mildly)

He probably had to enter the US again and doesn't want anyone to know
about it. When he's been into the Overproof Rum, he becomes transparent.
