[QUOTE="thessalonian13, post: 1089609, member: 15706"] I am not an accountant. When Warren Buffet gets taxed at a lower rate than his secretary who makes $60,000, we don't need rich people like you telling us we need to get new accountants. Fact is, millionaires and billionaires have loopholes and off shore accounts to funnel their money through that us middle class don't have, can't afford and don't even know about. We live paycheck to paycheck and maybe have a 401k. We are not rich enough to have the luxury of selling stocks that have lost money in order to offset the gains from the stocks you sold and made money in like you do. And, if you don't own a home, then you are really "SOL". You don't get to claim your only "realistic" loophole, the mortgage interest, and thus pay whatever tax rate you fall into. Even the greatest accountant in the world can't help you there. By the way, my brother is a federal agent with the IRS and his job is to go after millionaire tax cheats. He is even amazed by the way accountants manipulate loopholes to go undetected and to avoid paying taxes. [/QUOTE]
