Oh, so you mean you didn't just take advantage of the corrupt corporate system for a good investment, but started from day one with the intention of capitalizing on this corrupt system, which you claim you wish didn't exist.
You, sir, are a true Capitalist, never letting your personal values get in the way of making a few bucks.

Your logic makes no sense.
By your flawed logic anyone that disagrees with any government policy should refuse to pay any taxes.

You give him far too much credit. You assume he had personal values in the first place.

I'm not seeing where you get that from. What I see is you capitalizing on a system, corporations, you personally have described as corrupt, and have stated that you would prefer it did not exist.
Could you not have run a successful business without making them corporations? Lots of people do. Instead you chose a route that goes against values you have professed, and I can only imagine this was done because you would make more money at the head of a corporation than a regular business, and with less risk if things went south too.
In other words, you utilized a system you think is wrong for your own profit. As I said, a true capitalist.
The only way I can see any analogy to taxes would be to accept a tax credit for something you believe people shouldn't receive a tax credit for. Kind of a flimsy analogy, but I'm trying to give you the benefit of a doubt.

You did it again.
You are intentionally misconstruing what I said.

Re: Yo, top 1%: shut the fuck up
Firedoglake » Concern Trolling from NYT’s Spokesman for The Rich
Quote:
Apparently Paul Sullivan, the New York Times Rich People Beat reporter who wrote about the problems of the super-rich a couple of weeks ago, wasn’t prepared for the waves of derision I predicted here. He’s written another column expressing sorrow that ordinary people not only don’t care about the problems of the super-rich, they are downright angry.
Quote:
The vehemence in these e-mail messages made me wonder why so many people were furious at those who had more than they did. And why are the rich shouldering the blame for a collective run of bad decision-making? After all, many of the rich got there through hard work. And plenty of not-so-rich people bought homes, cars and electronics they could not afford and then defaulted on the debt, contributing to the crash last year.
|
Let me explain, Mr. Sullivan. No one is angry at anyone because they are wealthy. People are angry because of the damage the rich and their minions on Wall Street and K Street and in the Bush White House have inflicted on the political and economic system. These people changed the system to increase their profit at the expense of the dreams of average Americans.
They weren’t satisfied with the normal returns from the ordinary business of the country, new businesses, new processes, education and growth for the benefit of all of us. No. They gutted the regulatory structures and the tax system, reaping a huge unearned windfall. They took the capital accumulated in their hands from the sweat of the workers and invested it in other countries, putting millions out of work. They changed the rules to let them import educated foreigners to drive down the wages of middle class Americans. They took all the profits themselves, increasing wealth inequality to pre-Depression levels, as this infuriating chart shows. They left nothing for the workers and the middle class. Anger is the least they can expect.

Like I said, 1939 progressive income tax worked once and needs to make a comeback with no changes.

A Look at the Tax Returns of the Top 400 Taxpayers - Real Time Economics - WSJ
Quote:
The top 400 U.S. individual taxpayers got 1.59% of the nation’s household income in 2007, according to their tax returns, three times the slice they got in the 1990s, according to the Internal Revenue Service. They paid 2.05% of all individual income taxes in that year.
In its annual update of the taxes paid by the 400 best-off taxpayers, who aren’t identified, the IRS also said that only 220 of the top 400 were in the top marginal tax bracket. The 400 best-off taxpayers paid an average tax rate of 16.6%, lower than in any year since the IRS began making the reports in 1992.
To make the top 400, a taxpayer had to have income of more than $138.8 million. As a group, the top 400 reported $137.9 billion in income, and paid $22.9 billion in federal income taxes.
About 81.3% of the income of the top 400 households came in the form of capital gains, dividends or interest, the IRS data show. Only 6.5% came in the form of salaries and wages.
Over the past 16 tax years 3,472 different taxpayers showed up in the top 400 at least once. Of these taxpayers, a little
more than 27% appear more than once. In any given year, about 40% percent of the top-400 returns were filed by taxpayers who weren’t in that exclusive club in any of the 15 years .
In all, the IRS received nearly 143 million individual tax returns for 2007, the year that ended with the onset of the worst recession in decades.

That is because every time you ask for tax increases on the rich, they tax the working class.
Thus anyone asking for tax increases on the rich is in reality asking for their own taxes to be increased.

Then would cause a dramatic reduction in tax revenue, where would government get the money it now spends?

The sentence structure is clear.
Those that are asked to tax the rich.

And your evidence for this unfounded assertion comes from where exactly? Oh right, you don't have any.
