way to miss the point (as usual). you and your ilk go back to working the semantics however you like. doesn't change the reality of what goes in vs what comees out and what the government's actual take ends up being.

i'll leave you to preaching to the rest of the mental midgets on this board trying to explain such a simple concept away

PS - speaking of threadjacking, I noticed you didn't care to post your stats either. Expected. Typical. Cowardly.

where are my semantics? you're the one re-defining dividends to get the result you want... Acting like a child won't make you right.

so... you weren't talking about dividends? Then why did you use it as a subsequent example? I assumed you were talking about divis because of the tax rate you were using as an example... What were you talking about?

Yet another reason no one pays attention to what you have to say. I noticed you didn't have the balls to post your info. Good job there

oh wow it's a tax on the transfer of property? huh that's interesting. oh and there's a multimillion dollar exemption? wow it's almost as if the government doesn't tax people when they die because it's literally impossible for a dead person to pay taxes!

25%? Is that your tax rate, or your tax bracket? Thats a very high effective tax rate.

yes it is. my wife and i had a very good year but my taxes are a complete clusterf*ck given that we're both freelance... I'm in the 33% bracket. I'll update once my accountant gets a crack at the insanity.

1) S
2) 0
3) 16.9%

And Mitt pays 14% after it has already been taxed. Just like we pay additional taxes after we die, when we buy product off the shelf, as a service, etc. If people knew what we actually paid in taxes, there would be outright riots in the streets. It is one of the main reasons I am for the Fair Tax.

Good lord! H & R Block?

After ObamaCare my tax rate is now higher. Currently 1 of every $4 I make goes to the govmt. I guess I'm just not paying my fair share though.

And if you were born in Angola you'd be an amputee working in a diamond mine. Pay your 25% and stfu

[Mr. Belding]

If you were born in Kenya, you'd be POTUS telling everyone what your fair share is.

So the president sets the tax rate?
