28. He will only pay more on the small portion of his wealth he decides to not shelter

Did you read anything about the various schemes he has used over the years to hide income from any taxation whatsoever?

Have you forgotten "Son of boss" schemes?

Have you forgotten the "blocking corporation" abusive shelters?

Have you forgotten the $100,000,000 magic IRA in the Caymans?

And those are just the few little tidbits that slipped out. If we could audit his entire enterprise, we would find that the amount of tax has has paid over the years is way under 5% of his actual income.

Does that include capital gains? nt MannyGoldstein Jan 2013 #5

The bill also raises the rate on capital gains from 15% to 20%. JoePhilly Jan 2013 #16

So actual average rate will be 22% or so MannyGoldstein Jan 2013 #31

i don't disagree, but i maintain that he'll pay more in taxes. unblock Jan 2013 #36

Possibly, but we're talking the difference between 2% and 3% BlueStreak Jan 2013 #39

Slightly inaccurate... The top tax rate is NOT necessarily what is paid Scootaloo Jan 2013 #21

not clear, but i think this is the average tax rate paid on taxable labor income unblock Jan 2013 #24
