Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A clear picture of how little the wealthy pay in taxes.

Chuck= professional liberal troll, unpatriotic and worthless to the core.

You do understand that the tax code, as currently written, taxes income when realized, not unrealized capital appreciation. In other words, until I sell an asset that has appreciated (stocks, for example), the fact that it has gone up in value is irrelevant. It may also go down in value before I sell and I will not get a deduction from income for the reduction in value.

Take a look at the chart in the attached article to see what is paid by each quintile of income.

Chuck doesn’t do facts, which by the way is exactly what you presented. Nice work.

It’s been highlighted plenty that the top 5 % pay well in excess of 50% of all taxes, but I guess Chuck will say that’s not their fair share. Wow.

I really don't care how much the wealthy pay in taxes. I care about how much I pay in taxes, which is too damn much. And it always goes up regardless of which party is in office.

Spare me the worn out talking points.

The House passed Build Brandon Back bill reinstates the SALT deduction that will specifically help the most wealthy.

He should only care that his colostomy bag and wheelchair tires are paid for on the back of the working man.

Warren Buffett's tax rate is 18.96% which is pretty damn high and a payment of $23,700,000 is substantial. His balance sheet does not enter into the equation and neither does appreciation on unsold assets. If your going to tax his appreciated assets are you going to give him a refund when they go down?

Problem is not tax collection but government spending that is out of control.

And dumb fing liberals.

Wonder what his secretary makes?
I seem to remember him saying the secretary pays more in taxes than he.

The wealthiest shouldn't have to pay any income tax.

Nailed it. If the Dems want more tax money to fritter away, how 'bout taxing the poor evenly.

Everybody should have skin in the game.

So, what pray tell is the "right" amount of taxes?

So what? Do you expect me to buy into your class envy?

I care not what happens in this matter. You can never steal enough from the rich to satisfy the wants of the poor.

I am much concerned that the IRS has become an income redistribution system where money is transferred from the working class by the $billions or possibly $trillions into the pockets of those who have not earned it via child tax credits, earned income credits, etc, etc.

Hold every tax filer to make no profit from their filing, and the US budget will be much closer to balanced.

If they tax unrealized capital gains it will destroy our capitalistic system and we will all descend into a Marxist hell of shared poverty.
I doubt suck azz charlie even knows what that means

yet another SA(homo)charlie troll stir the pot thread.

How much do YOU pay in taxes, pussy!!??!!

You ain’t got a clue!

I didn't state that I pay the "wrong" amount of taxes but the answer to your question, if I understand it correctly, is less.

The op hasn't been right about anything else so why should he start now.

He sucks off the taxes that you pay, he's a user not a contributor.

I other words he's a Parasite.
