Though I sort of agree, having a father who owns his own business and knowing some of his taxation rates... - TFox Oct 16, 12:19 4
- does he make more than $250,000 in profit a year from his business? -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 12:19 3
  - Pretty sure, yes. But by the time he pays all his taxes, and all the taxes on his one employee... - TFox Oct 16, 12:22 2
    - interesting. thanks for the perspective. - znufrii Oct 16, 12:24 1
      - Oh, don't get me wrong: he makes some money. But he works his ass off for it. And generally, each dollar he earns, he keeps way less of than I do. - TFox Oct 16, 12:29
I like the argument on Bill Maher's show Friday night. The WSJ pointed at Maher and said "Obama will make YOU pay more taxes". Maher just shrugged. - crash davis Oct 16, 12:18
FWIW, Republicans/McCain would say that is money you could have used to create more jobs -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 12:13 1
- which is a ridiculous argument. if you're using the money to create jobs, paying it out in wages, you're not being taxed on it! -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 12:15
I *loved* it last night in the debate when Obama said "Well, I don't mind paying a little more." -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 12:11
especially since it isn't that large of a bump, and the posterchild for the issue currently ISN'T paying the taxes he owes -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 16, 12:10 1
- yeah, it's far from an onerous increase, mostly just putting things back the way they were before Bush got his grubby hands all over the tax code -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 12:17
when they say fuck this and leave and you have to pay more taxes you might -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 12:10 9
- With loopholes, the rich don't pay as much in taxes as you might think -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 12:15 1
  - Nope. Loopholes abound. The marginal and effective tax rates are radically different. The US marginal rate on business may be high, but the - TWuG Oct 16, 12:17
- So I should pay more taxes to assauge people who make millions? -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 12:13
- leave for where? -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 12:11 5
  - Ireland. Duh. Just you wait til all the lawn care service providers up and leave. Just. You. Wait. -- nm - TWuG Oct 16, 12:12
  - Caymans (ala The Irvings) -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 12:12 3
    - is there a shortage of plumbers in the Caymans? -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 12:12 1
      - Plumber crack is like gold! -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 12:14
    - but I guess that would be much more than $250K -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 12:12
I honestly don't know what I would do with 250k of income a year. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 12:09 2
