As long as the top 1% controls 50% of the campaign
contributions
and
100% of the media you won't see that. They may pass that
as
the
published top rate but there will be enough tax shelters
and
loopholes
so they won't actually pay that.
The government has a long rich history of using the tax
code
to
drive
social policy. If you do politically correct things you
get
tax
breaks, big ones.






Is why there will never be a flat tax. Taxation is the
ultimate
control.







A flat tax is regressive.







That's impossible. Flat is flat. It can't be flat *and*
regressive.

I like the idea of a flat tax. Take 15% of my AGI, I'll save
$375
from
the CPA's bill, and life moves on.





What brain are you using??? If it's the same marginal rate for
everyone,
those at the lower end get screwed. I like the idea of a 40'
diameter
cherry
pie, but I don't want one in my kitchen.






They aren't screwed. They pay the same % in taxes as those who
chose
to
get an education, not have 15 kids, get a good job, and pay
their
fair
share of taxes.

You seem to be defending the reprobates of America. Why?




You seem to have stopped thinking. Read my other posts. I'm
assuming
you
know how to read for meaning of course.





I don't have time to read all of your posts. I work for a
living.
I
assume you simply forgot to punctuate that last sentence, right?




I work for a living also. I work for myself. I make a decent
living.
It's
more than $35K. :)




I don't know where $35K was discussed so you are probably just over
that.
If that's the case, you definitely don't want to get into an income
****ing match!


Certainly not with such an important and impressive person such as
yourself... a VP after all.



You asked - remember? I'm not big into titles - I prefer results
from
my
staff and the bonus checks that follow.


I never asked you for your title. I never asked you for your salary.


You asked what I did. The title simply defines the position. I guess
I
could have just said sales but that is an ambiguous position and I'm
technically not a salesperson. I never divulged my salary and you
never
asked - what made you bring that up?


No I didn't. VP means nothing. You could be a VP of ladies underwear.
Don't
care about your salary. I'm sure it's "substantial."





Bruce, aka Rob, aka DK, aka Dan Krueger, lives in a tract house with a
short driveway and a little yard.

Bull****. What else would you expect?


Where do you live? How much do you make? Who cares?

Talk about elitist! I thought that was the exclusive realm of
the
left.







I said "dumb example". You read that, right?





You said "choose to ignore an education and/or are lazy." That
sounds
elitist to me.






Elitist? Go visit your local college campus. Are all of those
kids
elitists because they applied themselves and stayed out of
trouble?




All of the kids in college have applied themselves and stayed out
of
trouble? Really? All of them? Wow.





Enough to take the next step to better themselves. I know there are
dropouts, so I properly chose to add the word "all" in my last
statement.
You chose to spin it and...it didn't work.



So, you're claiming that "all those kids" the ones who are in college
are
there because they chose to better themselves. Not a single one is
there
because of some other reason. Keep at it "bruce"




I said "Are all of those kids elitists because they applied themselves
and
stayed out of trouble?" and you sent it into another direction - as
usual.




Whatever you say Mr. important VP of a Fortune 1000 company. Sure.



You ran out of material? The spin is over?


For you, apparently. Why don't you shift identies again, so you'll feel
more
important.


Two minutes to reply?

Move on.

BTW, after I log out today, I won't be responding to your juvee posts.
You'll have to switch identities again.

Krueger's wife said she wished he changed his underwear and socks as
often as his ID here.

That's what I heard... :)

No... really? Yes, as a percentage...

That's a pointless question - duhhh.

You are correct. Once I knocked out d'plums 189 +- posts, there was a
string of about 20+ 'Bruce' posts that caught my attention.

Poor d'plum can't believe someone wouldn't drool over each and every
