“I tend to scare myself"

Only two choices here.
Either the hack writer is too stupid to realize that he can donate to the federal government or what he really wants is for YOU to give more of YOUR money to the government.
So which is it Steph?
Stop taking all your deductions then. Just pay the % based on your total income. What’s stopping you?
Tell him to write a check and send it in.
But this does sort of explain the dark and tortured books he writes.
Stephen King...BYTE ME!! If you want to pay more then go right ahead. You don’t speak for me!
Correct. FL has no state income tax. King doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
“I tend to scare myself"
That's fine, Stephen, but, according to Forbes, your net worth is approximately $1 billion (with a "B").
Like crosshairs says:
"Nothing is stopping you from giving all your money to the gubmit. ..... crosshairs"
If income tax rates are raised, the vast majority of taxes will not be raised from the Billionaires like you, Stephen. You guys can simply stop earning income, pay zero Federal taxes, and still spend $50 million per year for the next 20 years if you so please. Bill Gates avoids income taxes by glorifying his own name, tax-free, by taking his Billions and giving it to his own foundation.
The ones who take it in the chops with higher income taxes are the small business owners that puts in 80 hours weeks to earn $300,000 per year and build the backbone of the American economy.
If Billionaires like Stephen King and Bill Gates are so eager to raise income taxes for the rest of us, I have a simple soltution:
A Wealth Tax of 5% per for all personal wealth over $100 million which cannot be tax-sheltered in any foundation.
Your tax bill for this year comes out to $50 million, Stephen.
I have this bumper sticker on my truck
“If You Want You Can Always Donate To The IRS”
Well Stephen, here’s what you do. Whip out your checkbook, and write out a check for whatever amount you think will make you feel better. Send it to the treasury.
Okay?
Not one thin dime...
* You can write a check payable to the Bureau of the Public Debt, and in the memo section, notate that it's a Gift to reduce the Debt Held by the Public. Mail your check to:
Attn Dept G
Bureau of the Public Debt
P. O. Box 2188
Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188
Steve, I'll even address the envelope and put on a stamp for you (44¢ only, I won't pay or a jumbo size sweepstakes winner check).
This is what you get when your life revolves around fiction. Half a$$ed ideas that are more than fiction.
Frantzie, does your pony do any other tricks?
28% sounds like he pays the alternative minimum tax or benefits from one of the many deductions and loopholes in the tax code.
or he might have a lot of revenue tied up in dividends, which are taxed at a max of 15%.
And no doubt taking a big fat tax deduction for it.
I live around the corner from this idiot savant. When war hero John Kerry was running for President, he had a Kerry/Edwards sign in his front yard that you could see from outer space.
Capitalism has been very, very good to this overgrown adolescent.
Maybe his books aren't selling very well. After seeing a $14 trillion dollar debt, suddenly a clown in the sewer just doesn't seem all that scary anymore.
Beat me to it.
