I am a corporation, a rather small one...lol, but income taxes follow through to my personal income tax and it looks like I make alot of money. You know, that over 250K that people think you are rich! Unfortunately, the bottom line is below what I made as an employee, especially considering the hours and stress levels. I pay more than a "fair share" in taxes! Can you believe I now have to pay personal tangible property tax on personal tools and Snap On tool boxes that I have had and paid taxes on for 15 plus years simply because I now use them at my business!!! And you call that fair??? Start a business yourself and when the "Taxman" comes around come back here and tell me how "fair" it is for you to put your neck on the line and take no family time to try to make a decent living only to keep paying more for drug dealing welfare collectors who get paid to keep having babies through these liberal social programs! Total B.S.!!
I sure hope this is not true... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu6ok5ykyuQ&feature=share
Floriduramax, I don't think I ever said people making $250K are an issue of for that matter, defined any specific $$ level. I threw around the term corporations, but I did it loosely and was more targeting some of the big guys who are very short term focused. Small business needs all the help it can get to stay afloat! I am a huge small business advocate (can you say Vermont). All I said is I'd like to see everyone pay a fair share. When my effective tax rate is higher than someone making a 10's or 100's of millions of dollars a year (or more as in my example of the top 400) I find that inconsistent with a progressive and graduated tax rate. I don't really believe in trickle down, trickle down created a bigger gap between the 'haves' and 'have nots' over the past few decades. An example is executive pay. And just to clarify, I don't believe any of the folks talking in this forum are very far into the 'haves' area of the economy, but I could be wrong.
