You continue to ignore the fact that the 0.1% shelter trillions in income every year BlueStreak Jan 2013 #4

They just started? ProSense Jan 2013 #6

It has exploded in recent decades. BlueStreak Jan 2013 #10

Your entire premise ProSense Jan 2013 #13

And we did nothing about actually taxing the 0.1% BlueStreak Jan 2013 #19

Yes, ProSense Jan 2013 #29

"Chained" tax rates BlueStreak Jan 2013 #37

And? jeff47 Jan 2013 #14

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

This is math, show your work. Don't just make up sad numbers. JoePhilly Jan 2013 #35

You're really accusing me of lying? MannyGoldstein Jan 2013 #40

oh he will. unblock Jan 2013 #26

He will only pay more on the small portion of his wealth he decides to not shelter BlueStreak Jan 2013 #28

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
