[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 408953, member: 9859"] You did originally wrote ALL Obama supporters.....Glad you cleared that up:wink2: Nice try Tieguy. Does swiftboating mean anything to you. Liberals, so violent, ooo the ladies of Code Pink....scary :2scared: Post all the links you want, it all depends on what you consider “income”. The nature of many of the taxes the rich pay are hidden whereas income and payroll taxes, which constitute the vast majority of what the poor and middle class pay, are in plain sight for everybody to see. Obvisously, if you take in the majority of wealth in this country you will pay out the majority of taxes. Take for example Billionaire Warren Buffet who's 06' tax rate % came to about 17.7% while his seceratary's came to about 30%. Now Buffett went a step further, putting his money where his mouth is. He issued a challenge to his fellow billionaires: I’ll bet a million dollars against any member of the Forbes 400 who challenges me that the average (federal tax rate including income and payroll taxes) for the Forbes 400 will be less than the average of their receptionists. So far, no-one has taken him up on this bet. Ok, so lets take it one step further, say the reason for Buffet’s low rate is his disproportionately high investment income… The real question behind it all is, “is this really fair?” Should people pay more in taxes on income earned through work than others pay on income gained through investing? I strenuously argue that it’s completely UNFAIR, and real work should be valued and rewarded. I’m pretty sure lower capital gains tax rates do almost nothing to generate economic activity in this country (aside from making people flip their investments more often, benefitting investment brokers). On the other hand, the work done by a school teacher or firefighter contributes real benefits to our country, both economically and socially. We should not necessarily reward investors for simply having enough money to invest. Plain and simple, capital gains & dividends must be taxed at the same rate as income earned through work. I think we should get back to the gaffs of Sarah Palin, after all this thread is dedicated to her, I know those of you who cherish her like to use deflection to remove her from the spotlight. BTW...Is she ever going to have a full fledge press conference? Team McCain has no plans so far. I wonder why. [/QUOTE]
