    Biden will fail in the popularity polls and then resign. Hello President Harris and also whoever she shall choose as VP.
    I predict a July event connected to House investigations and also their wild threat of USA bankruptcy.

    Riddle me this bat men and women, how do you raise taxes on people that have so many write-offs they dont pay taxes in the first place?

    the whole thing is excellent but the 2:40 mark forward is what Im talking about :)

    They pay taxes on what they spend not their accumulation of wealth. Biden proposes a tax on
    accumulation. Such wealth is an abstraction that may or nay ever be realized. It's a casino economy.

    What does that have to do trying to raise taxes on people who dont pay taxes?

    Then you certainly cant say there exits loopholes if you cant list even one!
    pretending that raising taxes on people who dont pay taxes will pull in more money! LOL
    You dont see the humor in that asshattery?
    Right up there with the trumpsters wall!
    Nice soothing propaganda though.
    Only needs to last long enough to get a vote for these guys.

    Here's a list of a few with the source listed after.
    Property Depreciation Claims
    Business Expenses
    Nepotism
    Net Operating Losses
    Earning on Investments
    Deducting Property Taxes for Second Homes and Rental Properties
    Selling Inherited Real Estate
    Health Savings Accounts
    Deferring Your Income

    Roll Forward Business Losses
    Buy Whole Life Insurance
    Open a Solo 401(k) Plan
    Tax Tricks and Loopholes Only the Rich Know | GOBankingRates

    To say you can't raise taxes on those who use loopholes or don't pay taxes is kinda silly unless you just want to play semantics.
    We could raise the tax rate on the rich. In the 50's and 60s they paid at a top rate of 91% today it's 43.4%.
    In 2014 the richest 1% with an annual income of about $823,763 payed at a rate of 24.7%, those making $75,000 payed 19.7%
    In 2009 1,470 households making over 1 million paid zero in Federal taxes.

    back to popular myth = correct assessment I see, LOL
    Ah, ok, got it!

    As far as you 2 are concerned the word 'exemption' = loophole LOL

    Well then I think we should get rid of the personal 'exemption' that you get to take since you have now defined loophole as exemptions, unless you wish to come up with a real 'loophole' in the tax code.

    Maybe get rid of all exemptions entirely, for everyone, is that what you are promoting?

    and I never said or implied there is no such thing as a loophole, nice strawman, reading problems again?

    The rich who wish to avoid taxes exploit legitimate deductions to avoid paying taxes.
    Most of us can't afford to use the legal deductions that are open to the wealthy. That's why the rich and corporations have lobbyists, to get the law to favor them.

    Go on yahoo news and ask for the 50 richest corporations that paid NO FEDERAL TAXES . I suppose what they did / did not do was legal---frankly I don't give a fuck about that---it NEEDS TO END.!! If Biden or anyone else ( republicans puke at the thought) that can get it done will help the country and the taxpayers that have to make up for this.

    Sure you are looking at expert asset management
    you dont need to be a corporation or wealthy to take advantage of the greater majority of those deductions.
