I will have to change the deductable on my All Income from All Sources income tax from 90th percentile to the 98th percentile. Anyone making under about 250k pays no federal income tax. The rest pay all of the government's operating costs. They benefit the most so they pay the most.
As long as you don't have to pay anything and you still get the benefits, right?
I can see that 'ME' is a big word in your vocabulary.
A strong middle class is ESSENTIAL to a healthy economy. Read the following article and you will realize that the elites cannot keep growing wealth at astronomical rates while the rest of the population continues to decline.
Henry Ford knew that his workers needed a pay high enough to afford his product. What we are going through is not sustainable and the comparisons to The Great Depression and how much wealth the top 10% owned then and now is very eerie.
What is even scarier is that the exact same banks, (Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs), caused the 1929 and 2008 market crashes and came out more powerful and profitable than ever after each crisis. Wake up People! Join a Credit Union today!
There is trust fund wealth, corporate stockholder wealth.
The X Guru of GE Jack Welsh... received user rights to billions of dollars worth of perks rather than a big payout...
He can use any of the GE assets anytime.... how does one qualify that power?
The 1% are not those that make $350,000 a yr.
I've made that after tax and remained in the 5%.
Personally? I spend time studying how to invest myself rather than spending time whining about how other people have more money than I do.
There are two types of people: those who complain about how much other people have and those who work to better themselves. I have personally never been big on whining. You might be different, however.
It's not the 1% who control anything. It's the top 60 families. The top 0.000001%. These are for the most part people that the idiot OWS protesters have never heard of. Bill Gates is rich as an individual is concerned but the WalMart family wields more wealth and more power than he could ever dream of. The families that control companies like Cargill, and Seaboard. Those are the real rich elite that are ruining our country and buying our government.
So now you want to move the bar. Now the movement will be the 99.999999%ers?
Private citizens have no control over legislation and regulations - until some people in government allow themselves to be bought and influenced. This all starts at the government level.
The tea party went after the correct target. OWS is off the mark.
Fake or it better be or he can kiss his career goodbye. Conservatives do not watch movies starring black actors. No matter how light they are.
???????? Where the hell do you get this? I think I have seen every Denzel Washington movie he has ever made. I really like most Morgan Freeman movies, despite him being a big lib.
It is amazing to hear what liberals think, as apparently they do very little thinking.

Really? no one earning <$250k pays taxes.
I wonder where my bi-weekly income tax deduction is going? I'm certainly not getting it all back at the end of a tax year.
