If the rich m*tha f*ckas can spend millions on a PAC, they can afford to pay more in taxes.

In fact, I say tax the hell out of them (@90% for over 1 million net income) so they can't afford to donate to a PAC. Also ...make them continue to pay into SS ...no more limits!

1. I love it re: PACs vs taxes. Hell yeah. And yeah, no limits on SS.

2. I don't think most of the 1% complains about that do they?

Buffet, Gates, Turner, Ellis, and more have already been on record saying tax them more fairly.

4. they are in the minority

most one percenters and corportate execs want low taxes

[redqueen]

3. Yeah. But the money they spent on PACs was intended to benefit *themselves*...

Taxes help other people... It's just not the same.

5. Political contributions ARE taxed, aren't they?

At least when I donate my measley $ to Democratics I get 'notice'.

?????

6. Sorry ...I didn't make it clear enough ...Federal income tax.

[JustFiveMoreMinutes]

7. Definitely... I just mean all the PAC money at least isn't being hidden in the Caymans. <wink> n/t

[L0oniX]

8. Heh ..yea ...but it probably came from the Caymans.

[coeur_de_lion]

9. Doesn't make sense

Wouldn't it have been cheaper for them to just pay the taxes?

[L0oniX]

10. It would be better if they were writing off the expense of having employees in the USA.

They would rather play political power games with their money than create jobs. If I had my way I would tax the hell out of them unless they create good jobs here in the USA.
