So you would recommend the gov't to do just what about that? It makes no difference whether wealth comes from winning a lottery, finding burried pirate treasure or is "earned" by selling a patent. One has a right to their property, no matter how they (legally) got it or in what in form it currently exists.
that still does not entitle you or the dem masters you serve, to any of their wealth.
And, what? Did you loose track of the conversation? Increasing sales taxes will decrease consumer spending. Vehicles are an excellent example. Raise the price of cars and there will be fewer cars sold. That's basic economics. I would have expected a business genius like yourself to understand that without explanation.
Tax it as income according to the normal applicable schedule as income.
Your previous comment was about the progressiveness of the tax code. That link is about something else.
the parasite never seems to think the host is doing enough for it
Excellent post! Great analogy.
the parasite never seems to think the host is doing enough for it
true, the parasite advocates generally whine that they are not being given enough
Thats ironic coming from you. I thought immediately of trust fund babies and inheritence. You could change your statement just slightly to this:
The Silk Diaper set generally whine that they were not being given enough.
Its amazing what perspective does.
Perhaps now a line from Groucho? Or maybe some other Marx? :mrgreen:
If certain corporations can completely skip taxation, then no.
I have never heard of anyone with silk diapers-.
Heard? Perhaps not.
Seen? Every day of your life when you look in the mirror.

are we better off with the jobs those corporations supply and at the income taxes that come from it?
that's pretty stupid- Do you know why families such as mine stay rich other than the fact we work hard and smart? because we don't waste money on stupid things. Envy is just so silly
What jobs? If trickle down theory had worked, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Such a statement - without accompanying data and proof - is simply more of your pompous pontifications based only on your own belief system. In other words, a typical normal Turtle post.
QUESTION: Does anyone think it is "fair" that almost 50% of American wage earners pay no Federal Income taxes at all? How is it "fair" that half of working Americans enjoy the protection of the military and the various benefits of government (what few there are) and don't pay one red cent for it?
And while we're at it, who decides what is fair? Sean Hannity noted last night that when he adds up all the various taxes he pays, he pays 55% of his income in taxes. So for six months out of a year he hands over everything to the government. In my world, that is NOT fair.

Sean Hannity is a liar, first and foremost.............

Federal income taxes are not all the taxes one pays, keep in mind.
