If you're not top 1%, and if Obama's tax plans will net you a bigger return...?

You obviously subscribe to the notion that an increase in captial gains taxes will stop investment.

That's moronic. To make that point, I present you with two options:

A lower profit margin due to higher taxation.

No profit due to no investment.


Which is the preferred option?

top 100 isn't as telling. try top 1 million. it'll be mostly inheritance.

 

[Kunmui]

The top 100 is your context for millions of people?

At my old university, kids were actually wealthy (not OT wealthy). ALL of them had family money. ALL OF THEM.

Your assumptions are just ridiculous, but then again, what's new?

WTF

 

[DarkStarKid69]

Yes, since most people become wealthy by winning the lottery... not through hard work or anything

I would be willing to bet that the current middle class already pays over 50% of their income in taxes when you consider his ultimate total tax burden (property taxes, wheel taxes, sales taxes, the list goes on).

If Americans realized their true tax burdens many would be furious.

I have great health insurance and I've dealt with some great doctors and some shitty doctors.

I don't like the idea of potentially dying in a few months because I don't have health insurance.

... because the dividends of hard work should end with each generation

I see it as companies will have more capital, enabling them to expand and create more jobs
