Stop using bullshit GOP talking points.... With deductions many people would see a reduction in taxes paid even the wealthy would do fine if instead of the "loot and scoot" program they run now they used the profits they make to build the economy by creating new jobs like they used to when the top tier tax bracket was 90%...
@Lizard_of_Ahaz
So, let me get this straight here. You don't want people to be more productive and prosperous, so to achieve that, you want to take more of their earnings away from them when they are? Why not go the OTHER way, and tax people more the LESS successful they are? Doesn't that make more sense and give people a good reason to work harder and smarter? You will ALWAYS get more of what you reward, be it good or bad behavior. Or didn't you learn that lesson yet??
@Lizard_of_Ahaz
Something that you are missing here, is where the corporations get the funds to pay their taxes! Oh, they just come out of nowhere, right? They don't come out of the till that their customers put funds into when they paid for the goods and services of the corporations? Oh silly me, I had it all wrong!!
@Lizard_of_Ahaz
Oh, and why have ANY "deductions" at all? Just do away with all of the taxation to begin with, then you don't have to put anything on the other side of the ledger!!
@Logician All your replies amount to is showing a complete lack of knowledge.... You just failed economics. I bet you are even thinking that businesses pay a tax on "income" like a person does right?... Fact is they only pay on profits not revenue... Also stock dividends and employ pay and benefits are all considered a cost of doing business which means they are not taxed as a part of the profits of a corporation. This means the lower the tax the corporation pays the more investors and employees get screwed.... Go to school and learn first because just spewing nonsense makes you look stupid...
@Logician Rich people are not productive they steal from productive people...
If a money hungry tyrant “inspires” you than maybe what you say isn’t worth much.

Crazy shit is a guy making 150 million a DAY not only paying employees so little they need foodstamps, public housing assistance, and welfare then cutting their healthcare benefits so he can pocket more money and still not pay taxes...
I agree that his income is obscene, but the sheer chutzpah he exhibited when he started Amazon and kept it going at a loss for the first five years is truly motivational.

You might be surprised how much money you can pocket while "Operating at a loss..." Basic business accounting explains how it is done and the only people who lost were the people who invested in the start up then sold too soon...
@Lizard_of_Ahaz My degree is in accounting and I am not surprised at anything to do with finance, I still think Bezos' story is inspirational. Also, he bought the Washington Post and constantly pokes trump, so I LIKE HIM.
