You seem to get it.<br /><br />Not sure if you saw Mitt try to explain away the low rate on cap gains. He said it was already taxed already. Every time they say this in the news, even "smart" reporters like Howard Fineman fold up and whimp away, saying that may be "technically true".<br /><br />WTF? How are people so stupid? That is no more taxed already than any other income. <br /><br />He said cap gains come from income that was taxed before by corp taxes. Bullshit. First, is all income come from corporate profit? Second, corp profit is taxed very low after all loopholes and tricks. The corp tax in USA used to bring in 28% of gov revenue, now it's 9%.<br /><br />But more, why is that investment any more special that a guy who becomes a DDS or lawyer or runs a business? They invested, say, half million in education and setting up practice. That money was taxed before, as much as other money. Why should the DDS have to pay? They paid to get educated, shouldnt they be tax free forever? <br /><br />You way of taxing every type of income the same, should be extended to all taxes, not just FICA. And the news reporters should quit being so F ing stupid about taxesSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206503506011763393noreply@blogger.com
