4yearlurker thinks all taxes are theft, and that only the rich are producers.
The more money the government steals from those who produce,the better off
we all are!!! WEEEEEEEEE!!!
FlyVet is all about clas warfare, when they're liberals.
That’s usually the case with filthy rich people like Matt Damon and Nancy Pelosi. I’d wager they have lawyers and accountants that ensure they pay as few taxes as possible.
Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!
People making 250K+ a year are job creators. All local construction/hvac companies for starters.
And who pays those companies, I wonder?
vicar7 drops some numbers:
Top 1% pay 38% of the burden and top 5% pay 59% and the bottom 50% pay 3%. I am all for fairness let’s figure out a way to get the bottom 50% more productive. Leave the most productive folks alone Obama!!
And top 1% have like 80 percent of the wealth, so somehow I doubt they're struggling.
VRWC For Truth knows what changing tax rates means!
Only criminals engage in class warfare. Damon, ESAD.
OCCASparky still rocks the trickle down:
Okay, Matt m'boy, if you were were a dumbass schlub (but wait, you are!) making $50K a year, would you have:
-A personal assistant?
-A housekeeper?
-An agent?
-An accountant?
-A nanny for your kids?
And these examples are just off the top of my head. I'm sure my fellow FReepers can think of many, many more examples that you, a person who makes FAR in excess of $250K per year, employs either directly or indirectly.
But let's assume you are correct in your asinine statement that the Bush tax cuts didn't "create" a single business. How many businesses stayed around because they COULD afford to stay in business without a crushing tax burden?
Yes, that tax burden in the 90s was crushing.
JudgemAll psychoanalyzes Damon and finds him clearly gay:
This turd thinks he knows better because he rote repeated a few lines in a movie directed by f@gs who had his arse like a good little pinochio who thought he was a real boy.
Damon is, well, a know it all know nothing little wuss who ought to shut the heck up. As if he knew more than those rich people! He really thinks like Zero in chief, like he is so cool or something and that it is enough.
He does not feel so perfect and pretty, and it must be all our fault. HE is a little two bit tyrant of looks like all the others, as if we had no better things to do other than listening to him and watch his idiot movies.
I agree,
ReplyDeleteStart by taxing Matt Damon at 99%. I think he has made enough money. Most of these rich liberals are filthy hypocrites who stash their money in Swiss banks and Cayman Islands and then call for more taxes. Nothing stops Damon from cutting a check to the treasury, if he wants to pay more tax.
@euphgeek
ReplyDeleteSo your argument is that Damon should either pay 99% taxes or he's a hypocrite?
No,I am saying that we should increase taxes on those people who are asking for it. If Matt Damon loves taxes so much, he can start off by putting his money where his big motor mouth is..
Do you have any evidence that he's one of these "filthy hypocrites" you speak of?
Not him personally, but there are plenty of liberal hypocrites like Jeff Immett who talk non-stop about keeping capital in the US, but promptly move jobs and capital offshore
Why are you so against a rise of three percentage points in the top tax bracket like we had in the 1990s
Because 1990s where a time of economic boom, now we have economic stagnation. Increasing taxes in a recession is a stupid idea. It puts less money in the pockets of people and kills investments. Any economics will tell you that it is a bad idea (unless of course, you have your head up your arse).
It didn't seem to hurt the economy back then, did it?
Taxes had little to-do with the 1990s boom. The 1990s "boom" was huge speculative bubble, just like the "boom" of 2005-08. While all Americans were salivating over the Clinton "boom", he was busy selling our manufacturing base to China and Mexico.

ReplyDeleteI agree that Matt Damon should pay more in taxes if he wants to, but I don't think that makes his general point wrong. Jeff Immelt may be a hypocrite but his point isn't wrong, either.
"Because 1990s where a time of economic boom, now we have economic stagnation."
And just why do you think we had an economic boom? Magic? Fairies? No, it was because government was investing in new technology. That made the companies making the technology need to hire more people to keep up with the demand.
Increasing taxes in a recession is a stupid idea.
No, it's the only sane idea. It gives the government more money to invest and therefore creates more jobs.
It puts less money in the pockets of people and kills investments.
Wrong. It puts more money into the economy. Do you really think people making millions of dollars a year are going to miss a few extra thousand dollars? How many jobs has the current low tax rate in the top bracket gotten us? How has it made the economy better? Answer: It hasn't. The Bush years saw only one million jobs created while there were 22 million jobs created during the higher tax rates of the Clinton years.
Taxes had little to-do with the 1990s boom.
They may or may not have (I made the argument that they helped) but they certainly didn't hurt job growth, now did they?
