Economy/Business / Re: Biden Calls for Record-High Tax Rate, Just a Few Points Shy of 50%
« Last post by Hoodat on Today at 04:28:24 am »So your example of paying capital gains on a 10% increase in your home is not true. You was the one who made that up.
So now you're intentionally being obtuse. The example given was based on the ProPublica premise. It was a hypothetical. But then you knew that already.
And I posted multiple places how the billionaires pay very low taxes through loopholes
Based on an imaginary tax law that is not based in reality.
and you have yet to show an actual link where Bezos is paying a 40% tax
And you have yet to show an actual link where he is not. Let's keep in mind that YOU are the one offering that premise, not me. I already showed you what the law says. Anyone in the top tax bracket is paying over 40%. That's the law. To suggest otherwise is delusional.
even though the taxes Bezos paid from 2010 to 2018 is on the net and not close to 40% but between 1.8% and 3.5%
Based on an imaginary tax invented by ProPublica. But don't take my word for it. Read the damn articles you posted yourself. I know someone at DU supplied you with those links. But at least have the integrity to read them yourself before you start parroting incomplete nonsense from them. Again, this came from YOUR article.
I am done you can have the last word
Yeah, it sucks when 'truth' gets in the way of your emotional needs.
