30 Types Of People Who Aren’t Allowed To Complain About Paying Taxes

[Drale]

1.Wall Street Brokers- Wall Street Brokers are legal, professional gamblers. The only difference between them and someone in Vegas though is that Wall Street Brokers are making millions and billions by gambling with people’s retirement funds, savings accounts, and mortgages. They’re getting rich by gambling on other people’s futures, and have no right to complain about being paying taxes on their income.

2.CEOs- CEOs should see higher taxes as a reward for their success. If I make it to the top income bracket I’ll be proud to pay a higher tax rate, because I’ll be able to afford it. People who award themselves multi-millionaire dollar bonuses when they are simultaneously laying off employees and shipping their jobs to foreign countries can’t complain about being taxed on all the money they pay themselves.

3.People who receive a massive inheritance- If you’ve never know the struggle of having to work and struggle to earn a living and support yourself you have no right to whine about paying taxes.

4.People who don’t pay an income tax- If you get paid “under the table”, and you’re already not paying taxes on your income, you have no right to complain about the other taxes you have to pay.
5.The Tea Party- A majority of the tea party members are high wage earners which means they can afford to pay their taxes, they just really really don’t want to.

6.Corporations- Most corporations take advantage of tax loopholes and many even receive billions of dollars in tax returns each year because of loopholes that middle-class people don’t have access to. If a family that can barely afford to support themselves can pay their taxes so can multi-billion, multi-national corporations.

7.People who make over $250,000 a year- Here’s a math problem for you; What’s $250,000 a year divided by 12 months? Answer; $20,833.33 per month, or over $5,200 per week! Less than 50% of Americans make over $500 a week, if you make more than ten times that amount you are not allowed to complain about paying your fair share.

8.Millionaires- Millions of Americans are living in poverty and these people have millions more than they’ll ever be able to spend, they can afford to pay their fair share.

9.Billionaires- See item 8. Multiply by 1,000.

10.Politicians- You’re health insurance, your income, and many other things you enjoy are ENTIRELY funded by the taxpayers. And most members of Congress are millionaires. So stop complaining about taxes, it’s your duty to your country.

1. People in Poverty don't pay income taxes,

Very few of the working poor pay income taxes. As far as I am concerned this POS blogger can go to hell.

2. *laughs*

Oh, +5 empathy points for you there. :sarcasm:

FYI, I'm one of the working poor, and we do pay taxes down here at the bottom. LOTS of them. They HURT. But you know what? I don't whine about them, unlike the people at the top who think they earned their way there by merit and hard work.

[gateley]

4. I was thinking that it's precisely these people cited who do

the complaining - the rest of us UNDERSTAND how our country works and the perils of corporatizing (if that's how you spell it).

[valerief]

10. Yes, but the wealthy *work hard* for their money and *deserve* it.

No matter how bloody hard you work, you'll never deserve it. That's the Republic/Teabag stance.

[Hydra]

19. Repub/Teabag:

"There are 2 types of Republicans: Billionaires and Suckers."

[KansDem]

5. Where did you read that in the blogger's list?

I don't see where he says "People in Poverty" should pay income taxes.

Was it this?
People who receive food stamps.- Ever heard the expression “don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”? This is a perfect example of that. If taxpayer dollars put food in your mouth, you can’t complain about where the money comes from.

If so, he's not saying they need to pay income taxes. He just says they shouldn't complain about where the money is coming from. Haven't you ever met someone who was receiving some kind of government aid complain about income taxes?

[Drale]

8. Yeah all those people scream and crying

o what do they call themselves again.....o yeah thats right the "tea party".

[KansDem]

11. Remember when 39% of Americans wanted government to stay out of Medicare?

New poll finds that 39 percent of Americans want government to ‘stay out of Medicare.’

As ThinkProgress has noted before, conservatives have frequently obscured the fact that Medicare is a government-run single-payer program. Constituents appearing at health care town halls have even demanded that their members of Congress keep their “government hands off of Medicare.” Now, a new Public Policy Polling poll finds that millions of Americans do not realize that the federal government runs Medicare:

One poll question indicative of how difficult it is to gain public understanding on a complicated issue asked if respondents thought the government should ‘stay out of Medicare,’ something inherently impossible. 39% said yes.

The poll also shows that an additional 15% of respondents were “not sure” if the government should be involved in Medicare. Only 46% of respondents disagreed with the proposition that the government should stay out of the government-run program.

--more--
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2009/08/19/56923/americans-poll-out-medicare/

Over a majority of Americans either wanted the government to say out of Medicare of were not sure if the government should be involved.

:rofl:

7. How many millionaires don't pay taxes? Almost 1500.

Also, everyone that has the same exemptions and standard deductions regardless of income has the same amount of income or greater than those with less income of income that is not taxed.

Those in the upper middle and higher have more income exempt from taxes than those in poverty.

On average those with $200-250k of income have about $64k of income that is exempt.

Those with income above $106,800 are exempt from further Social Security tax. They don't pay $6,200 for every $100k above the $106,800.

16. "30 Types Of People Who Aren’t Allowed To Complain About Paying Taxes"

Nope, don't see the word "Income" anywhere in there. To allow you to save face, I'll pretend that was just an honest mistake on your part.

[SharonAnn]

18. They pay Social Security, Medicare, and sales taxes. All regressive taxes.

[gateley]

3. Wow. Kind of throwing the baby out with the bathwater, aren't you?

There are a lot of valid examples. I think if the "No Taxes!" people would look at this, presented as it it, it might change a few minds.

[Hangingon]

6. The article is a bunch of BS.

9. You can have a couple of million bucks

and find yourself completely bankrupt. All it takes is medical bills. That's true even if you have some kind of high deductible health insurance.

If you have a spouse and kids to support - and perhaps aging family members as well - a mortgage, a car payment, some credit card balances, insurance on everything, property taxes, some professional memberships or continuing education and a prolonged period of unemployment you can quickly deplete a substantial sum.

A million bucks is a nice cushion. It will buy you some time. Nothing more.

12. Here are a couple of stories to balance the scales of justice

Back in 1999 when the High Tech Bubble was bubbling, I had a stroke of amazing luck. I was hired by a semiconductor company whose P/E ratio was 240 and was giving away stock options like candy. A year and a bit later after I cashed out I walked into a bank to pay my income tax, with one enormous check. After the teller got her tongue back in her mouth she asked me if it hurt to pay that much in taxes. I told her no, that it was a privilege to pay taxes, knowing that my unearned wealth was going to support schools, the health care system (I'm in Canada) and mothers on welfare who didn't have a pot to piss in.

The other thing is that there is no fortune so large that a couple of ex-wives can't take care of it.

13. My friends that can easily afford to pay taxes are the ones...

that are always complaining. Bitch and moan about their property taxes while they own 10 acres backing up to a small river with a huge beautiful house.
Makes me nuts. She, by the way, is a VP for a Venture Capital group.

[GKirk]

14. I can a legitmate complaint about property taxes...

...for example if your tax bill breaks it down like mine does you'll see a
charge for trash pick up. A person who owns a $500,000 house pays 5 times more
than I do but doesn't get 5 times the amount of trash picked up.

Just an example.

[Bluenorthwest]

17. Actually a larger residence usually produces far more trash

than a smaller one, size of the home as well as income indicated by that 500K tends to produce trash delux. Plus, around here we all pay for our own pick up of trash, according to our needds. Property taxes go to many things other than your sanitation needs.

[GKirk]

20. That's not what I see....

...but regardless. Should rich people pay more for trash removal or should people pay based on how much trash they produce?

[pintobean]

15. But for that damn first amendment.
