When are the bottom 50% going to start paying their fair share? (Iran, enemies)

[chuckmann]

When are the top 1% going to repatriate jobs so that people in American can work, and work their way up?

Funny how thew free market level playing field crowd are all about lining their own pockets while screwing their fellow Americans.

Hasn't worked that way in European countries. They have MORE income equality via REGRESSIVE tax systems:

You see, you're not good at math. A rich person has a higher tax burden than a poor person.

We'll do the math again.

$500,000 > $2,000

When a rich person pays $500,000, they are contributing more money in taxes than the poor person paying $2,000.

If you plan to be an engineer, you need to hone up on that math.

They'll repatriate it when the money that has already been taxes overseas isn't taxed yet again to return it to the US to invest here.

And you sir are missing several variables (sorry, is that a scary mathematical term?). You are not accounting for systemic inequalities in several categories that would cause disproportionate burden shifting as a result of a flat tax.

You are just saying OMG 2 is bigger than 1! Might work for someone whose education in mathematics is that of a kindergartner.

Well, they could always quit and live off TANF, SNAP, etc. exclusively.

Why don't we just dump income tax altogether and go for a national sales tax. That way nobody skates.

All those "isms" get them confused.

You really have NO clue what's going on. Your response indicates that you have NO clue what a REFUNDABLE tax credit is. /SMH

Uhmmm last i heard anyone working besides investors and corporation owners get income taxes taken out of there checks etc first, then if your poor the government returns that back to the poor person? Im baffled, how is that not earned? If they take it out of your paycheck? And how are you paying for that tax credit? Unless you mean because the tax credit person gets his money back that you pay more?

Oh i get what your saying now. A refundable tax credit is a tax credit that is treated as a payment and thus can be refunded to the taxpayer by the Internal Revenue Service.
