Wow, something I agree with Bloomberg on.
“And in fact a very small percentage of people in this country pay a big chunk of the taxes,” the billionaire mayor argued. “
It also means if a few decide to move, say adios US govt. The tax base should be more diversified.
Taxing income, any income whatsoever, is ridiculous anyway.
Go with a sales tax. If you buy something, you pay a tax. If you earn something, its yours.
This country needs to get away from taxing production, and start taxing consumption.
Not one or the other.
This may have been theatrics, but the song and dance Bloomie’s been doing over there at the Gracie Mansion has been downright shameful.
No mayor with an ounce of red American blood would have allowed, much less forced, the building of the 9/11 mosk. He’s a putz no matter which way you slice it.
I agree, but you are both self serving dopes. Go away Bloomie.
We anticipate that we will resolve all adjustments proposed by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the 2002 through 2004 tax years within the next 12 months, the firms annual report says.
It also cites outstanding tax issues for 2005 through 2009.
I don’t understand why he should open his yap at this time and tell the truth. Schumer was probably on the phone within minutes telling him to STFU and go along with Obumonomics. Just makes me distrust him even more.
Which is why Obama’s campaign is doomed to fail not just in Congress but among the people. You can’t be so blatantly dishonest and expect to garner support. If Obama and Buffet were honest they would say they want to increase Capital Gains taxes... but to compare someone making money from Capital Gains to someone making income is unfair.
Of course, I am for not taxing any form of income, but that’s a different matter. The Mayor is right - they are playing at cheap political theatrics and not talking straight to the people about what they want and how or why they want it.
Everyone knows it is donkey dung, but the Hussein worshipping media continue to allow their tin god express his lie without much refutation.
If this were Bush, EVERY campaign event would be expressed like this: “Bush, whose so-called fair tax scheme has been repeatedly called a hoax by economists, went to Seattle today....”
That was the other time I agreed with him on something.
Buffett still owes a $1 billion in back taxes that he’s fighting.
Looks like he’ll be the next Treasury secretary.
