It is long past time that the U.S. Institute a wealth tax.
Nope.
Just asking a question about the repeated posting of a blog to generate hits. I thought that was frowned upon at FR.
Glad to hear Rush talking about this lately, as we’ve been screaming it on FR for years: high income taxes don’t affect the wealthy, they merely keep others from becoming wealthy.
As to Buffett being a liberal, if you think about it, his fortune is based primarily on the insurance business, which is nothing more than a socialized private sphere, rent-seeking within a defined group. He’s so greedy he’d wish that upon everyone through federal dictates.
I don’t have a problem with the insurance industry, per se, as it provides an essential business function — when limited. Like government, though, as it expands beyond mitigation of risk it makes everything more expensive and eventually serves only itself at the expense of the rest of us.
That's the ticket. </sarcasm>
Jesus Christ: You can't impeach Him and He ain't gonna resign.
And again you show your immaturity to all by vindictively posting an unformatted blog.
How thoughtful of you.
That's the ticket.
I am bedazzled by the intellectual depth of your response.
Very true statement.
The focus should not be on TAXING INCOME... but rather on TAXING WEALTH.
Aren't I thoughtful? You ought to thank me on your knees.
Seems to me you are the one that is "pissed off."
Who else would go to the trouble of FReep mailing and posting what is nothing more than gibberish.
From my perspective you appear as an angry, petulant child with such antics.
I think that many of the very rich are the beneficiaries of much more than just tax loopholes. I believe that huge amounts of taxpayer dollars are funneled in to their companies which is what made them rich in the first place.
How many government workers use Windows? And who paid for that? YOU, the taxpayer. And who profited from that? Bill Gates. And that is just a small fraction of the money that went from your pocket into his via the Congress, the IRS, and lots of cronyism.
There is no such thing as a tax LOOPHOLE! There are only laws and those that know how to use them to their advantage. Don’t like the results, fix the law. This is what Trump should be saying about his taxes.
Sorry, I’m tax guy and that just had to be said. whew. :)
