on the phone:Donald Trump

[Cynthia]

Larry King....welcomes The Trumpster on his program.

He tells the country that we MUST NOT BE TAXED...bottom line. McCain will not tax the average American.


Is this true?

[BT]

no

[Cynthia]

no

Why?

[BT]

The average american is already taxed. They will continue to be taxed.

It also depends on what kind of congress he has to deal with.

It could be they force a tax increase down his throat.

If they have enough votes.

And it could be the govt needs to postpone middle class tax cuts because it is bleeding money.

These are uncertain times. Not the time to pit one class against another.

thank you!

AND THAT'S why I consider you to be "spot on" as our board leader, Bill.

I can trust that you will explain the details  in a political arena. Details that shine in truth.

WHy? Because that is your business. Your JOB.

I had a feeling that was the stream of thought, the facts as YOU know them to be.

Sincerely, I appreciate your feedback on that. I agree.

The Juniorbush taxcuts have already pitted one class against another. Those who benefit the most from our inherently unfair capitalist system pay the least percentage in taxes.

During the Bush years, the wealthy got an increased share of the national income, and the rest got screwed and got less.
Immense gains in productivity were never passed on to the people who did the actual work.

There is no reason why any American who makes less than Trump should pay him the least attention about taxes. Trump is an exploitative lot with an ego the size of Guam.

Those who benefit the most from our inherently unfair capitalist system pay the least percentage in taxes.

Many of the poor pay 0% in income taxes. Many of those even get an EIC tax credit, effectively making their tax rate a NEGATIVE percentage (they get back more than they put in).

How do you pay less than that?

In what reality, would that be?  Certainly not this one,  Income taxes??  Estate Taxes??  Sales Taxes tax everyone equally.  The only place you can go is Payroll taxes.  You looking to raise the cap on the amount people pay in payroll taxes?....negatively effecting the middle to lower classes that much more??

[Xavier_Onassis]

No, I would LOWER payroll taxes.

Read it again, and ponder, how can this be?

Eventually, you may catch on.

At this juncture, it appears you may not understand the word 'percentage'.

[sirs]

I see.....Xo want's to decrease the amount SS takes in.  Put an alreadly fractured program into impending failure, that much sooner.  Brilliant

Actually the democrats pit one class against another. Tax cuts are inanimate.

[Xavier_Onassis]

The Republicans are in favor of a class war, and are sponsoring one.
Every year, the percentage the wealthiest 2% earns has grown, and the percentage the poorest 50% earns has shrunk.
Increases in productivity are many times higher than increases in wages.

You can tell there is a war by seeing who is winning.

Did this not happen during the Clinton boom years?

[kimba1]

what is the pay of the poorest 50%?

meaning at the 50% mark what is the annual income?

[BT]

In 2007, the median annual household income rose 1.3% to $50,233.00 according to the Census Bureau.
