1. Regarding the child tax deduction - what you’re saying is that you’re all for redistribution of wealth when it is YOU that is receiving the distribution.
2. Regarding payroll taxes - if you’re self-employed, you’re paying DOUBLE payroll taxes - over 15% total, because you pay both the employee and employer portions.
I pay no payroll taxes because I don’t get a paycheck, I only pay taxes on the income recieved from the business, and my rental property is the same way.
This is not an accident, I structured my life to minimize my federal tax burden, I also purposely structured things to avoid any involvement what so ever with the government beyond property taxes.
Of course I am one of those evil rich people that Obama loves to hate, since our household income is greater than $200,000.
