Taxing the rich?

[1christian1]

Where is your proof that the rich pay no taxes?
If you do not like to work for the evil rich, just quit.
Stop the continuous complaining and quit.
Seems that a lot of people in this country live without working.
There is always room for one more to lives off the sweat of the working man that appreciates having a job.

I have no interest in EVER quitting. I Love MY country! At least the way it used to be and God willing willing will be back to normal once Trump is impeached. I know it's going to take a while to undo the mess that he has made.And you will have your proof that the rich are paying taxes because once we are back they WILL be paying their fair share. And FYI. I personally have paid over a quarter of a million dollars in taxes thus far in my life and proud to do it. I want everyone to pay their fair share. especially those who can afford it!!!

So your statement that the rich do not pay taxes can not be proven. Just your false rhetoric.
If you have paid over a quarter million dollars in taxes you must be one of the rich that you seem to hate so much.

How did we go from everyone paying their fair taxes to me hating anyone. You got things twisted.And Walmart using a tax loop hole to deduct ! billion is a matter of public record. And after paying for my son's college, and with inflation, I live in a 1200 S/f condo. Those day's are gone!!!

While I may not agree with those tax loop holes they are part of a tax code passed by congress and there is nothing wrong with using every means available to pay less taxes. We all do it.

Many would love to live in a 1200 sf condo and be able to sent their kids to college.
I live in a 600 sf cabin with wood heat and solar power for lights and internet and I worked 70-80 a week to help my 2 kids go to college. They works part time to help pay their way and lived at home driving 70 miles one way every day to class. Thankfully they were not in school at the same time.

We all have a story about "how difficult" it is. But we made it so why all the complaining about things we can never change. Only our Lord can do that and only on His time table.
I am thankful that God gave me the ability and opportunity to accomplish what I have.

I feel the same way. God gave me the ability to be with my children.I also know that God does things in His own time. Again, When once have I complained how things are? And I always worked smarter and not harder. I managed flooring stores, what did you do? And I have never complained. Just have been doing something about this situation. We are almost there...

I am a small business owner (57 years) in a town of 1000 and county population of 6000 in Arkansas.
Long hours but very enjoyable.
I am now retired and my son-in-law who has worked with me since 1997 runs the business.

Tax the rich, sure. At the same rate we tax everybody else. No stupid, 10,000-page tax code where you can write off your trip to the Caymans as missionary work.
