“I didn’t see it but one thing everyone needs to think about is that is have the tax laws become where the wealthiest don’t pay any taxes? My guess is that is what he was trying to say.”

Oh really. So, TwoSwords, who do YOU think pays the majority of the taxes in the U.S.? Minorities and single mothers?

TwoSwords is correct, the elites don’t pay much in the way of taxes. It’s the middle class who bears the tax burden, and the Chinese. The chinese (and other countries to a lesser extent) have been subsidizing the artificial U.S. Government way of life for years. Let’s not forget we’re running TRILLIONS in defecits, and that it’s being paid for by foreigners.

The extreme rich put their money into trusts. The tax laws are very different. Reminds me of the 80’s. Maybe you weren’t there.

You miss the whole point by misunderstanding our tax system is on earned income by wage earners, capital gains is way less than high bracket wage earners, also FICA is now not limited for those earners either...

Stein wants a flat tax really, and was playing devils advocate to Laura so she could kick the ideas out the park...he is doing his job and Laura better do hers, just as we better do ours and vote a true conservative fiscal candidate into office...
