[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 35608, member: 153"] Re: Gibson raided TJ, We can argue all day long about what is or is not fair in regards to Taxes, Brackets, Exemptions, etc... I do not SUGGEST, nor have I ever suggested that anyone try to operate to pay little or no Tax....let's not put words in my mouth.... I do not believe our current Tax system is fair, and never implied that it was fair. I do take exception to your "You are implying that's unethical or immoral." statement....in regards to the Rich "take good advantage of Tax Laws to keep as much of their money as possible". I NEVER had a Problem with people taking advantage of the Tax Laws....NOR did I ever Imply anything Unethical...or even Illegal.... in regards to Immoral... well.....see below.. My PROBLEM has been the MISS -REPORTING that those of the Richest class do ACTUALLY pay the 38%. What they're supposed to do, and what they actually do...are two different stories. I get really Freakin' irritated when I hear these statements..."the richest of the rich pay the bulk of Income Taxes" in the US. If they did not TAKE advantage of the current Tax Laws....that statement WOULD BE TRUE. The Tax Tables are easy to find, the Break down in Income classes are easy to find. Any 5th grader with a basic calculator can do the math, and PROVE that those richest of the rich DO NOT PAY 38% of our collected income Taxes.... And that's MY Contempt for the system. IT'S A LIE..they ACTUALLY pay about 9%, not the ....pity me because "I'm really rich and they're picking on me" or, the puffed out chest and the smirk on their face, when these Rich complain about paying TOO much in Taxes.
