Another liberal fable. *The rich pay a 35% tax rate on income. *It's
the rich Demoncrats in DC that pay *no* taxes, as we've all seen over
the last few months, eh?


no, they don't. sorry.


Yes they do, sorry.


*the rich make their money on capital gains. and


the capital gains tax is 15%, minus deductions for losses.


Capital gains is a tax on investments. You *hope* you get to pay a
15% tax on a gain, because the alternative is that you lost some, or
all, of you initial investment. Meanwhile, you're still paying 35% on
your income, which is what you used when you gambled on the
investment.

So take a working professional making $500k a year, with $200k in
adjusted capital gains. Since deductions have long been phased out at
this income level, we can apply some simple math and see this person
pays about $205k in taxes. That's not enough? Why do you want to
penalize people that worked hard and becaome successful?


The rate for Long Term Capital gains is 15% for the "rich", and 0% for
the poor. *Ooops.


that's because the poor work for a living and pay 28%.



You're terribly confused. The single income range for a 28% tax rate
is $78,851 – $164,550; married filing jointly is $131,451 –
$200,300... hardly "poor". Your irrational hatred of successful
people is blinding you.
