Just had to peak at what lunacy tang was getting blasted for posting this time.
After doing so, I stand by my statement that I think he's incredibly naive, but I've now changed my position and must agree that he is incredibly stupid as well.

40%. Right now they pay 33%.

No, right now they pay 39.6% in federal taxes. If you live in California, you can tack on another 13.3%. That is a total of 52.9% of their income going to the government. You lefties just spout stupidity off about them "paying their fair share." Plain stupidity. It is only envy.

So tell me. What gives the government the right to 53% of the citizens income?

All3, our country is doomed because Tang thinks in lockstep with most young people in our country. He is not an outlier. The truly scary part is that they will be in positions of power one day.

Yes, but most young people then start making real money by the age of 35 and slowly turn to logic. Idiot Tang does not understand basic math even if the tax rate is 37%. Someone who made $100mil is paying $37 mil in taxes. How much more does Tang want that person to pay? Honestly. Someone who makes $100k and is in the 25% bracket pays $25k.

Hmmmm....$37mil vs. $25k? Lets tax the rich more!!!!!!!!!

Tang needs to learn percents and what an "ally" is. He is a total moron. Actually I just insulted morons by calling Tang a moron.

Keep punishing the ones who have worked hard and taken risks so that they can provide for those who haven't worked as hard and taken as many risks. Great idea, Tang.

Punishing? Lol, if you think raising the tax rate by 7% is punishment then you are insane.

BTW, demonizing the poor and favoring the rich isn't very Jesus-like of you.

7% on $100mil is $7mil.

The poor are poor because they are bad with money. Why punish those who are good with money?

Dummy. Oh and you cannot block me here. So I am free to call you a dumbass all day.

Dumbass.

If it is true that they pay 50%, then that is unfair.

Right. So let's say we adopt the CCCP proposal. Tax based on actual money payed, not percent. We have two options.

1. Make the poor pay 37 million dollars of their income every year and.... Wait... Poor people don't own 37 million dollars..Ok..

2. Lower the taxes the rich pays to 25k! Yeah! Equality! Also the Feds won't raise any money and the world economy collapses!

Look at it on the flip side. The rich take home 73 million per year. The 100k person takes home 73k per year. If we wanted to raise money, who would be the best option to raise taxes on? I wonder...

If you think that taking home 60 million dollars per year instead of 67 million per year is a punishment then I have no words for you.

What gives the government the right to 53% of a private citizens income?

I just said that if it is 53% then it is too high.

That is what it is in a few states. Now do you see why I think it's madness when you always suggest raising taxes on them.

Is it at 53%? I read 33%.

The top federal income tax bracket is over 39.6%. After that, you have to tack on state and local taxes which drives it up to 50% or more in most places.
