Lets travel down that road for a moment, shall we.the koch brothers undoubtedly love seeing subway employees defend paying more taxes than them.
minus the property taxes, sales, taxes, gas taxes, taxes on their electric, phone bill, gas bill and other bills, payroll taxes, and whatever of their income and state taxes don't get refunded to them.But my point is, with all the programs out there for the poor, they are not taxed.
What you are talking about there are mostly local/state taxes.minus the property taxes, sales, taxes, gas taxes, taxes on their electric, phone bill, gas bill and other bills, payroll taxes, and whatever of their income and state taxes don't get refunded to them.
but yeah, besides all of that, you're right on.
OMFG, is the subway employee just talking to hear himself talk now?What you are talking about there are mostly local/state taxes.
The federal government has tiny tiny tiny add on for gasoline.
But were talking national tax policy here, so your post is about as relevant as the number of hairs growing on my scrotum.
I lol at your fail. Its so pathetic.
The only thing federal, and therefor relevant, in that list you gave is the payroll tax. Here is how pathetic or ignorant you are. You are using a different name for something I debunked/addressed in an earlier post. The "payroll taxes" are also known as FICA. FICA taxes are refunded indirectly through the Earned Income Tax Credit.
Now, here is something that makes our tax system terribly regressive. Take a guy making $100k a year, and a guy making $2million a year. Did you know they pay the same payroll (FICA) taxes?
Not exactly the same, the cap is somewhere barely over 100k. So basically, you only pay FICA taxes on the first 100k of your income.
The podium is yours, and I am here to be your audience.We always argue about who is paying their fair share...
When are we going to start arguing about government spending it's fair share???
Do you know why there is a cap? It's cause there is a cap on social security benefits. Do you want people to be getting $14k and larger monthly ssi checks?OMFG, is the subway employee just talking to hear himself talk now?
we all know where the payroll tax ends. i've been talking about raising the cap for years now.
jesus christ this kid is fucking insufferable.
only the lowest of subway employees would not understand what a liberal means when he refers to raising the cap on SS to keep it funded.Do you know why there is a cap? It's cause there is a cap on social security benefits. Do you want people to be getting $14k and larger monthly ssi checks?
There are many areas of social security that could be seen as a cap. Your just a moron incapable of a protracted discussion that involves critical thought.only the lowest of subway employees would not understand what a liberal means when he refers to raising the cap on SS to keep it funded.
You are totally right, but it is still a tax. Is your position that it isn't a true tax because if you don't die you will be given social security benefits at a specific age?FICA is not a tax to employees, only employers.
Employees pay 1/2 towards this federal insurance, in hopes they will someday be able to collect.
Employers pay the other half, something they will never be able to collect on, therefore it's a tax to them.
It's a hard one to pin down when it comes to employee contributions.You are totally right, but it is still a tax. Is your position that it isn't a true tax because if you don't die you will be given social security benefits at a specific age?
That is pretty much the definition of a tax, a forced collection of money to be used by government to provide services.
But I see what your saying about the employer, they should not have to pay any of it.
Well, you are right, that is the one that is the most direct in terms of paying it and getting it back. However, it is a social service. All other taxes (are supposed to) are used to provide things for the common good of society. Roads, military, you know all the shit the government 'provides' for us. It is all funded by taxation.It's a hard one to pin down when it comes to employee contributions.
I don't know of any tax that is structured in this way. Every tax I know of, once it's paid, you don't get a chance to get any of it back.
And before anyone brings up witholdings, that's quite a different story. The money the government withholds is not considered a tax until you file a return, only then does the government asses your contributions and it becomes a tax.
Ya'll know me. Still the same OG. But, I been low key. Hated on by most of these niggas with no cheese. No deals, and no keys. No wheels, and no keys.Without it there would be a lot of homeless old people shitting in your front yard.
A consumption tax, like the FairTax, would go a long way into solving this by being more of a tax on wealth than a tax on income.A stupid Analogy. The poor got a 12 oz glass of beer the others hot two or three. The rich fella got ten tankards of the finest ale
. He owed more because he drank the most. In reality the others subsidized the rich guys habit.
ginwilly got owned by canna sylvan for preaching that same line of nonsense. it is mathematically retarded to advance that line of nonsense.A consumption tax, like the FairTax, would go a long way into solving this by being more of a tax on wealth than a tax on income.
I am prepared to debate the merits of the FairTax.ginwilly got owned by canna sylvan for preaching that same line of nonsense. it is mathematically retarded to advance that line of nonsense.
you said that a consumption tax is a tax on wealth.IPlease demonstrate to me the mathematical retardation?
