I wish we had a flat tax. The Dems will never let it happen. A flat tax is fair by its very definition. Everybody pays the same damn percentage. You make 100 grand, you pay 17 grand. You make 100 mill, you pay 17 mill. But the libs want to solve the world's problems with your money.

You couldn't fund the country that way. 50 percent of the country pays 0 net income taxes at the end of the day.

Cut the federal government by 40 percent, and do away with all income taxes is the way to go. Tax what you spend, not what you make, and saving will become the norm instead of the exception.

How many households have 6 months living expenses saved out there?

For those that didn't sleep with the bosses daughter then move into his McMansion it's easier said then done.

You should write a book. If it has pictures in it I'll read it

It's who you know

I guess I don't have a problem with him paying 15% taxes in investment income because I understand how the law works and why it was created. I'm not naive enough to believe all income is the same and should be taxed that way. The tax law is very confusing but this is one area where it isn't.

The people bitching just don't know how to manage their money to get the things they need to have write offs and/or save enough to invest to have investment income.

Look in the mirror

Make yourself more valuable to companies

Save money

I dont have a problem with the 15% either. In fact it should be less imho. There's a bell curve that exist though and it needs be more of a sliding scale. My tax % should be lower than someone making $250k but it's not.

you're proving my point

I haven't read any of your posts so I don't know what your point is.

What does that 250k consist of? Are they doing things to lower your tax burden while you aren't?

Okay let me counter your question

Why shouldn't every one in America pay a flat tax for what they earn, regardless of the vehicle its realized by?

including corporations.......

Dems don't want a flat tax....then the 50% of people who pay NO federal income tax would actually have to pay.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
