Actually Donald could care less about taxes.. cost of doing business..
especially if you get a lot of givernment business..
If he’s running he’ll have a position on taxes, they al do.
We are legion.
The smell of HRP is strong in this one.
Tariffs and a NRST are the way to go. But I’ll bet the FR free Trade Army will disagree, those silly progressives love no tariffs for imports even though we have to pay and pay and pay to export.
Trump is another Perot Trojan horse, But! He has shown who the establishment Republicans really are and what they’re really about.
That’s really one of the more ridiculous shoot-from-the-hip statements I’ve seen on this forum. News flash Einstein, wealthy people care a great deal about taxes, and pay handsomely for tax attorneys and seasoned investment managers to minimize their tax burden. They don’t get rich by being stupid.
Lots of stupid people that are wealthy..
Not only stupid but treasonous, malefactors, with zero morals..
Not only that but with bad business acumen that think morals are for chumps..
that know to tell the chumps what they want to hear..
and then RAPE them in many different ways..
Example: socialism is a symptom of the political disease known as democracy... many wealthy people are socialists..
The most malicious political disease known to man..
An ideology held only by stupid or malicious people..
In every case.. every iteration.. every person..
that are “socialists” although it is known by many names..
He's trying to compete with MSM, Mexico, Univision, NBC, Columbia and the politicians in D.C.
Tariffs and a NRST are the way to go.If we replaced the income tax with an NRST all exports would be subsidized with OUR sales tax.
We would pay exorbitant sales taxes (30%) for our purchases of domestic produced products, while the same products would be tax free to foreign consumers AND we would pay a increase on all imported products (30% tax not incl any tariffs).
I doubt that 30% figure but I want to keep all of my income, thank you very much. Thanks also for going on record defend the socialist/fascist/evil/progressive income tax. Watch it, your red side is showing.
JWK
When will the America People realize we have an Islamic cell operating out of our nation's White House? Will they come to this conclusion when Obama allows Iran to make the component parts for a nuclear arsenal?
Mebbe not. They call this a "Service Economy", then by God tax Services as well. They are inching towards this now with a sales tax on my electric bill.
Lawyers' fees? Tax 'em. Each stock market transaction? Tax 'em. (I think they are doing this on a miniscule scale now, if I remember my last sale.) Bank transfers overseas? Tax 'em. Haircuts? Perms? Cruises? etc. tax 'em all.
The thinking should be "We don't care how you get your money, we'll tax you when you spend it."
I think the "exorbitant sales taxes" meme comes from thinking of just taxing the existing base and not the services.
I doubt that 30% figure but I want to keep all of my income,Your juvenile name calling aside if you knew anything about NRST how could you not know about the Fairtax.
The Fairtax rate is 23% "of the gross payments"(including itself) on all taxable products and services (no exemptions except education).
The Fairtax is written for the tax collector/business/service provider NOT the consumer.
A business sells a $100.00 (shelf price/service) item.
$100.00
+29.87% tax
= $129.87 (gross payment)
The business then has to remit 23% OF the gross payment to the feds.
$129.87 MINUS 23% = $100.00 (remember the shelf price?)
Roto Rooter charges $100.00 plus tax (Roto Rooter needs to net $100.00)
Roto Rooter charge:
$100.00
PLUS $29.87 tax.
= $129.87 gross payment.
Roto Rooter remits 23% "of the gross payment" to the feds to net them $100.00
You can use a calculator if you like.
I think the "exorbitant sales taxes" meme comes from thinking of just taxing the existing base and not the services.Nope. see #16 above. It also taxes some interest PAID and EARNED
BTW, 30% isn't enough because they include the government taxing itself in their calculations
Be careful what you wish for.
Ok Comrade you go on and defend the income tax. Your red underwear is showing LOL!
Yeah I can keep my whole pay check. That’s a good deal. I know a progressive like you cant understand that concept.
