[quote="Guest"]If Springsteen is so convinced the rich should pay more taxes, why does he exploit the farmer's property tax loophole on 200 private acres of prime land? "...and the sign said, all trespassers, will be shot on site. So I jumped the fence and yelled at the house "Hey! What gives you the right?" ...to put up a fence to keep me out, or to keep Mother Nature in... If God was here he'd tell it to your face, "Man, you're some kind of sinner!"[/quote]

This is because most of their wealth is not attributed to them as individuals but kept in their private corporations or LLC's. And these entities are not subject to the same AMT (alternative minimum tax) that individuals are, so they can benefit from all kinds of tax loopholes, the same kind that cause GE to receive billions in tax rebates from US taxpayers every year despite making billions in profits. They can, for example, have most of their income directly go toward “reinvestments” that are tax deferred and eventually taxed at a lower capital gains rate, and only after much has been syphoned to pay for their personal lifestyle as business expenses. <br /> <br />Here are a few stats to chew on: <br /> <br />* 50 percent of US households net pay no federal taxes <br />* 40 percent of US households net receive a tax rebate, meaning they are paying nothing and getting money subsidized from the half-of-US-households that actually net pay federal taxes (interesting most of these people will tell you, and believe it, that they are taxpayers because they do have taxes withheld on their paychecks but they don’t seem to realize that when their rebate exceeds their payments they didn’t actually pay any taxes) <br />* The average member of the Fortune 500 has an “effective” tax rate of 18 percent <br />* The average person making $500,000 has an effective tax rate of over 30 percent <br /> <br />My boss is worth 1,000 times what I am but has a lower tax rate than I do. That is the reality of the current system. And nothing being proposed by either political party would change it. In fact, both parties support preserving the lower business tax statuses that protect the super rich’s lower personal tax rates. The only thing they disagree on, tax-wise, is whether to increase the tax for the upper-middle-class and moderately wealthy who already vastly disproportionately pay into the system versus those both below and above them in income. <br /> <br />So if you believe in a progressive tax system why not start by at least making it consistently progressive and taxing the wealthiest Americans as much or more as those somewhat wealthy? As it is everyone is picking on the easy target, those with disposable income but not enough of it to hire entourages of lawyers, accountants and lobbyists to structure their income to avoid these taxes.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Mon, Apr 4 2011, 4:20 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Bruce Springsteen at odds with N.J.

Gov. Christie's budget <br /> <br />By Amy Sancetta, AP <br /> <br />Bruce Springsteen has weighed in again on politics, this time in a slap to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's budget plans and their impact on state services to help poor people. <br />In a letter published in his hometown newspaper, The Boss thanks the Asbury Park Press for a March 27 front-page story entitled, "As poverty rises, cuts target aid." <br />"The article is one of the few that highlights the contradictions between a policy of large tax cuts, on the one hand, and cuts in services to those in the most dire conditions, on the other. <br />Springsteen's letter never mentions the GOP governor by name. Christie, who has gained attention in the Republican Party for his handling of the state's budget woes, is a Springsteen fan and has attended more than 100 of the rock 'n' roll icon's shows. <br />Springsteen often sings of the plight of the downtrodden, in songs such as Badlands and The Ghost of Tom Joad. He's a familiar sight during presidential elections, performing at rallies for Democratic presidential candidates John Kerry in 2004 and Barack Obama in 2008. <br />Read Springsteen's letter here and the story by Michael Symons that prompted the singer to reach out to the newspaper.
