My current tax rate is about half of my income when you add up all of the various taxes. I don’t have many deductions. Clinton proposes an estate tax that would take about half of what is left. In effect, Clinton wants my tax rate to be around 75% for every dollar I earn today.
That level of taxation would make me feel like a government employee. The vast majority of my time and energy would go toward making money that politicians would decide how to spend. That doesn’t feel like a rewarding life. If Clinton wins, I would think hard about retiring early and becoming a user of resources instead of a creator of resources. Because I don’t want a government job.
A Trump presidency, on the the other hand, makes me want to do something useful for the country that is good for me too. That’s a big part of why I have been blogging about Trump’s persuasion skills. I want voters to have a clear view of their options. If voters choose Clinton, I can live with that for six months until Kaine takes over. But I wouldn’t feel good about myself if I didn’t at least try to help people see the Trump option for what it is – an opportunity to “drain the swamp” as he says.

When clinton gets in, I know I want a govt job!
I could buy two new cars every year for what I pay in taxes.
I want whatever “job” Chelsea has.
Wanna give me a job? = D
When the mob runs the neighborhood everyone works for the mob.
really, can I work for you?
just saw your photo;s and saw you have a Belgian. I have had two Belgian tervurens, but my last one recently died.
they are beautiful dogs.
I could buy a new AR-15 for every month of higher Health Insurance premiums since Zerocare hit.
And I have to pay for that AFTER taxes.
“If voters choose Clinton, I can live with that for six months until Kaine takes over.”
Nice phrasing. Hillary’s health not what I consider a major problem, not when it’s also America’s best backup plan if the voters fail us. I hope she will live a long time, just not in our White House. Eight years under a usurper is more than enough. We don’t need a tyrant too.
We also had a Belgian Tervuren. Lost him several years ago. They are such smart dogs.
I’m a little young but if Clinton wins I will retire! I can made it on my own and instead of giving 1/2 of my earnings to the government, I think I’ll actually get a refund! Sorry, not like I want one but I refuse to work for the government 6 months a year! I just can’t and won’t do it!
Two kinds of people in America today:
Those who work for the government,
and those who are the government.
One great tax dodge, however is to
set up a non-profit. Help mankin...er, um person-kind and make a killing!
Colorado has a single payer health insurance referendum on the ballot. If that passes I am looking at moving to Wyoming to escape it.
very strong willed, but like you said extremely smart.
I want another, as my last one died form a snake bite, and the one before had cancer. I want another, but misses is having none of it.
Here in NJ everyone wants a government job; everybody else just goes broke maintaining our government worker caste.
