The Lies They Tell

People wonder how misinformation is passed, here’s a perfect example.

An advertisement on our television networks being done by the opposition of HB685 in Washington state is an example of just how crooked the liberals are.

They describe an upside down tax system that protects the top earners and say it is crooked as the top earners pay lesser taxes than the middle tier. So it is unfair as it will effect the schools, road taxes, and other people required funds.

The percentage for the top 4% in Washington is at 5.4% The middle tier at 9.4% according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic. The dollar values were done by them concerning the tier amounts. But the lie is that they are saying the top 4% is paying less than the middle tier. The dollar values are base:

$98,141 @ 9.4% = $10,440

$819,101 @ 5.4% = $151,685

The narrator for this, and the person leading the public to a lie, is Ken Jennings from Jeopardy. I am not going to continue to support the sponsors of this program. The company that owns the show is Sony which is a Japanese Company. Their biggest partners in the US is Disney that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment manufactures, distributes, and markets all of Disney's physical media (including DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4K Ultra HD discs) to retailers in the US and Canada. Such a surprise.

Simple, lower the middle tier

[Bob Wills is still the king]

Your “top tier” is certainly paying a far smaller percentage of their income in taxes. One advantage of a truly progressive income tax system is that is shares the pain of taxes equally.

In your example, which tax payer would you expect can take a tax his without disrupting their entire family economy, the guy who is paying a tenth of his income, or the guy who’s paying half as much on a vastly higher income.

In many Fortune 500 companies, the techies who know math, physics, chemistry, engineering, etc go into those employment fields.

Those who majored in humanities, gender studies, etc go into advertising, human resources, public relations. Don’t expect them to do math.

PS Your math needs some work. 5.4% of $819101 isn’t $150k.

So you support the politics of envy. No surprise

[Carry_Okie]

They describe an upside down tax system that protects the top earners and say it is crooked as the top earners pay lesser taxes than the middle tier.

This is actually true but the corporate media don't dare tell the people how: Top earners hide much of their income and shelter much of their spending in tax-exempt "charitable" foundations "donating" money to NGOs to game the system for fatter profits, usually by putting their domestic competition out of business with government regulations.

It's Democrat/Progressive fascism, what I like to call "highly organized crime." The layers of NGOs exist to launder the money.

Prayers for our country.

[Carry_Okie]

What I am saying is not about envy, but the misallocation of capital toward the destruction of domesitic industry. A lot of it is supposedly to "protect the environ-mint" Yet my work shows that simply isn't true; what they are doing is causing mass extinctions. I just want an honest system built upon measurable results.

The question isn’t how much people should pay in taxes but rather if an income tax is something we should have in Washington at all. We pay sales tax and property tax and should repeal this highly unconstitutional income tax,
Washington state has shown time and again they never honor the terms they establish when they add a new tax. Never ends up going to the cause they say they are funding. Always goes into the general fund and then frittered away on progressive initiatives. We the people need to strike this tax down. Here will be the end result if the he tax remains. Rich people will move elsewhere and we will lose our job creators and innovators.

I’ve seen people arguing for the Millionaire’s Tax, saying it will provide school lunches for everyone. Including the millionaire’s kids. Tax the rich, to feed the rich kids...

[adorno]

Looks like the moral of the story is:

Earn more to pay less (a percentage). Or, earn less and pay a higher percentage.

But, in the cases quoted above, the higher earner is paying 10 times the amount of the lower earner. So, I don’t see what the problem is.

Anybody that moves from low earnings to higher earnings won’t be complaining once they get to that level; they’ll just be complaining from having to pay more.
