Super-tax the super-rich: an idea whose time has come. Again.
Posted on January 21, 2012

Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest men in the world, is famous for saying that his tax rate (17.7%) is lower than his secretary’s (30%).* Mr. Buffett makes a valid point. Right now, multi-multi-millionaires in the USA are paying their lowest tax rates since the Great Depression. Fiscal conservatives insist that lower taxes spur job growth and stimulate the economy. They are only partly right. As I will show here, lowering taxes can improve the economy, but only if you lower taxes on the middle class. Not the very rich.

Bob, having trouble reading? I said "weak minded liberals love to hurl derogatory (often sexual) slurs".

Then you end with another dig, hahaha, is that all you got?

When only one entity has a monopoly on the use of violence to enforce rules, funded by taxpayer dollars, it is called government.

Have a good day.

Chances of them falling into the Soviet block without Soviet Red Army occupation very little.

Not just Soviet Block, electing a Socialist or Trotskyite party that would drop out of NATO and kick out US troops and close US bases. This was the danger with Greece and Italy in particular.

I might as well do digs. You have never in all the years I've read Patrick.net actually offered any type of suggestions how things could be better. You have only one trick, government is bad. But no suggestion whatsoever what would be good. Not that you ever answer other than to spew anti government am radio regurgitations, but what is your vision of how society should function?

Bob, my vision is stated in my book: "Is Government the Problem?" but I won't publish it. I don't want to be on the government kill list, but I probably am already.

All of my suggestions get trashed because they are based on freedom, liberty, sound money and the constitution. All the things necessary for a healthy society.

Government is like fire, a necessary evil. If you don't contrtol it, it will destroy you.

Patrick, If I get LESS when the 1%'rs make MORE, do I get MORE when they make LESS?

I'm going to buy stock in those companies who financially rape and pillage America, then I'll have the right to complaign how much the CEO makes. My stock profit wouldbe directly related to expenses (salaries), right?

Otherwise its none of my business (I'm not a lib, and as such I don't have a busy-body, entitlement mentality).

Historically speaking, yes you do.
