Reply to comment by Electrical_Skirt21 in Bucks County Has Two Millionaires for Every One Homeless School Child by Open_Veins_8

The problem is that taxes are being spent poorly. Again, the solution is twofold - rich people pay their fair share and the government does its job by taking care of the people.

And I don't know how much money you have so I can't say what your fair share is, and that's not my job, either.

If I made one million dollars per year, how much should I pay in taxes and to which government (federal, state, local)?

How should I know? I'm not a tax expert. But if you're exploiting tax loopholes to avoid paying taxes then you're doing it wrong.

Why did they put in those “loopholes” if not for people to use them? And your not being a tax expert sure didn’t slow your roll when advocating for raising my taxes. I just want to know how much of my money is enough for you

The loopholes were put there by corrupt politicians bought and paid for by billionaires, so no, I don't consider them legitimate.

Not once have I advocated for raising taxes. I want rich folks to pay their fair share. Period. Where did I stutter?

I pay exactly what I owe. Not only do I think that’s fair, I think it’s too much.

Give me two examples of a tax loophole that is abused by high earning people.

OMG get off it, if you pay your fair share idgaf about you. If you feel attacked when I say that the rich should pay their fair share then maybe you need to talk to your CPA.
