He's probably lying about his tax rate, but guess what the tax rate was under Republican President Dwight Eisenhower for fatcats like Varney: 91%!!!!

That was when Republicans were not traitors, chicken-hawks and assholes, who refuse to pay for their goddamn wars and make US pay for them, with, for instance, a trillion dollar loan against Social Security.
to superdelegate Erin Bilbray for standing up to this blowhard!

(2,741 posts)or just an asshole?...What amount would one have earn to pay 60% in taxes?...Perhaps he should hire my accountant in Bangor, who is pretty sure that the top tax rate is in the thirty percent range...before loop-holes, deductions, and poor math...
Perhaps he is just an asshole after all...

(1,699 posts)No way Varney is paying 60% in taxes. The highest federal rate only averages out to about 39% and I don' know of any state that takes 21%. Even if 'on paper' his rate is between 45% and 50% including state, ssi, etc. we know damn well that nobody worth $10,000,000 pays the full rate that's what tax accountants are for.

(8,175 posts)Why does he keep cutting her off when it's her turn to speak?
And yeah, that 60% tax rate is pretty fishy. The highest income tax rate (fed) is 39.6, so he's adding federal to state and all the taxes on his income prior to taxable net income.
And even then, with that kind of money, his tax accountants should be able to drastically lower his "taxable income", so he's not even being honest about that...he's making it sound like his whole income is taxed at 60%, when it's not. He lives in NJ, and state taxes in 2015 were almost 9%. He might also be rolling in all his property taxes too.
You can tell by his nasty attitude, as long as he's got his, he could give a shit about poor people.

(20,453 posts)... made his money the old fashioned way... by giving blow jobs to the Fox News Network. You can also tell that he's never bothered to sit down and figure how many pennies he pays per dollar, according to how the tax table is used to arrive at that income bracket. What a pustule fart of hot air.
A great big, violin for baby Stuart, everybody...
