@airjordan23x Just look at the distribution of tax revenue by income. The top half pays ~ 98%. The top quarter pays ~70%. It is that sort of pattern, and yet people act as if the Rich do not pay very much. We need a simpler tax code.

@Wormtail81 bro what do u consider rich?

This is crazy. I am tired of hearing that ‘the rich hardly pay anything.’ That is pure rhetoric.

Income Tax = Tyranny. The federal government should play no part in it. Let the states decide. Abolish the IRS.

There isn’t even a law that requires taxes on earned income..the feds get it anyways not us or the gov…it’s a scam like most taxes

Your caps lock is broken.

F U!!! stop paying the income tax!!!!! the Obama Mafia will steal every penny you have until you are pennyless, I will not support the industrial military complex I will not support socialism!

Ap should change the title of this story to – “Nearly half of Americans below poverty level”

obama

NO ONE WHO MAKES UNDER $250,000.00 WILL NOT PAY A DIME IN MORE TAXES.

NO ONE WHO MAKES UNDER $200,000.00 WILL PAY A DIME IN MORE TAXES.

NOW obama COMING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT THEY WANT A VALUE TAX, EUROPE HAS ONE AND JAPAN, JAPAN’S IS 25%. ( EVERYTHING YOU BUY THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAX, IT WILL START OUT LOW BUT LIKE EVERYTHING IT WILL GO UP)

WORKING AMERICANS WILL BE TAXED FOR 31 MILLION AMERICANS HEALTH CARE. obama WILL ADD TO THAT 11 MILLION ILLEGALS.

Some make, some take.

A prostitute goes into the tax preparer to get her tax form done. “Okay,” says the tax guy, “We need to list your profession for income purposes.”
Well,” she says, “Prostitution.”
No, no we can’t put that down!” the tax guy says.
Oh well, then a hooker,” she says.
No, no, still won’t accept that.”
So she thinks for a minute and replies, “Chicken farmer.”
Chicken farmer?” says the tax guy.
“Sure,” she says, “I raised over 200 cocks last year!”

LOL, how the fuck do people get away with this shit? I’ve been audited TWICE!

I’m retired and pay income taxes and do not collect medicade or social security. Most people have paid into medicare and social security taxes. Don’t forget about the 10% of tax payers that are without work!

This is the reasone Obama was elected, the drones were hoping for bigger hand out, looks like there going to get them to.

I wonder what’s larger?
Combined taxes lost from illegal immigrants?
Combined taxes lost from cash businesses? like all those mechanics that offer you a discount if you pay cash. wink wink
