Is $150K RICH? Why are incomes above 132,900 (for 2019) exempt the from the 12.4 % Social security taxes? Why is the unearned incomes (capital gains, rental income, etc), of mostly the rich, taxed at a lower rate (0%, 15%, 20%) and no Social Security or Medicare taxes paid on that unearned income? Many of the highest income earners earn most of their income through capital gains and therefore pay a lower effective tax rate than earners in the lower quintile when ALL taxes are considered. Income taxes are not the only taxes. State and federal fuel taxes on a gallon of gas, excise taxes, sales taxes, user fees, property taxes are all regressive taxes are applied uniformly, taking a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners. In reality, low income Americans a lot in taxes and their role in paying for roads, schools and other public services go largely unrecognized. Lower income Americas pay almost 20% of their incomes in taxes when ALL taxes are considered. They pay over 10% of their incomes in state and local taxes... a far bigger percentage than those in the top 20% of incomes. 12.3% of their income goes to Social Security taxes that stop on incomes over $132,900 and are not even collected on unearned incomes. 20% taxation on an income of $25,000 is a lot harder to afford than 20% on a capital gains income of $450,000. I still think that Trumps gift of income tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations is exacerbating income equality. Remember...income taxes are not the ONLY taxes Americans pay. Income taxes may be slightly progressives but all the other taxes (federal, state, and local) are regressive and hit lower incomes harder. Look what Social Security taxes have done as a source of federal revenue compared to corporate income taxes. Social sSecurity should not even be counted as a source as it is owed to those that paid into the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is $150K RICH? do you know the misdirection of this thread is at? Top 20% are the central authorities local, townhall, county seat, state and federal capitalis, global economic trade governing organized systems of denial and orchestrating theaters of doubt maintaining mayhem, madness, misery ancestrally going on in plain sight all selling hope, fatih, charity changes comes tomorrow for total dedication to maybe from now on. Common theme in every reality, symbolism over substance counts and mind over matter means everything to die for because understanding the natural limitations of being eternally separated now can never be considered true facts. .

Is $150K RICH? - Top 3% of U.S. Taxpayers Paid Majority of Income Tax in 2016 - And, Along With the Other 47% (Adult America) President Donald Trump is Giving Us a Tax Cut. The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent). The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97 percent of total individual income taxes. Ass-douche Self-entitled Adolescent Socialist Malcontents paid a whopping 3 percent of total individual income taxes. Lootin' Democrat National Socialist Vote-Plantation n!ggers paid... nothing. (00.0 percent) So WTF is Federal "Health" and "Income Security"...? ...to the tune of $840 Billion...?

jrock2310 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Pleading w/ the poor to pay taxes is like asking someone to run a race in cement shoes. I find it humorous that corporations (who have more wealth than some countries) solicit politicians not to be taxed. Meanwhile, those corporations are only wealthy bcus of those same people they’re wanting to tax. Yet we revere that by calling it capitalism. But asking the rich (who have most of the wealth) to counterbalance that by paying MORE in taxes is socialism. There’s a thin line b/t what constitutes socialism & capitalism. The debate is really over where are people comfortable having socialism, & where people are comfortable w/ unbridled capitalism? *patiently waits for poster to give the definition of socialism by spotlighting gov’t versus public owned production/distribution* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In spite of what the left falsely attempts to portray, there is still great opportunity in this country. Problem is - ya actually have to make continuous good choices, work your ass off, be self-disciplined and keep at it... Four examples I see weekly....well, except the snow removal company as we don't go to our CO home much in the winter. 1. The owner of our pool service company 2. The owners of the two lawn/landscape/snow removal company's 3. The owner of our plumbing work company Pretty sure each of these do not have degrees, yet they've each busted their hump to get where they're at. Hard work, discipline, goals and more hard work.
