Speakeasy forum: Reichsfluchtsteuer

I don't think it's particularly fair for someone to make a fortune in the US and leave and exect to pay nothing.

Do advocate everyone that makes a windfall move out?

Just more of the same...keep all the money you can.

The rich and mighty have played such games since taxes were instituted, but the "global citizenship" movement is different. From now on, the migration of hundreds of millions of people around the world, based on their terms, will define the century and its politics.

working your workers to death for low wages and undercutting the competition by doing shoddy work to make your money? How about making your money by lying to your investors and recommending stocks because you are getting a kickback? How about making home loans to people that can't afford it at a high interest rate and selling the mortgages before they go bad? How about people that donate to politicians that will give them tax breaks as attachments to other bills?

Did you know that there were so much pork in the cliff bill that it negates the increase in taxes?

Diana

that

1. Nobody forced those workers to take the jobs in the first place

2. Nobody forced anyone to buy shoddy-made products

3. People have gone to jail for investment fraud

4. The Federal Government actually forced banks to make those home mortgage loans

5. Donating to politicians for favors has been done on both sides

None of which has anything to do with earned money being owed to the government to do with as they wish.

As for the pork in the fiscal cliff. According to one Senator (where the bill originated), they were given three minutes to read it before taking the vote (could YOU read a 56 page document in that amount of time?) and didn't know about the pork buried in it until after the House had already received it. Why do you think the House refused to vote on it immediately? Because THEY had the chance to see it and wanted to amend it......which would have pushed it even further into the 'over the cliff' area. Blame Biden......the whole time he was negotiating with McConnell, the staff was preparing the final bill and were given the word to include what they did. The only part that McConnell had a hand in was the actual negotiations regarding the tax rate hike and the supposedly $15B tax cuts with a promise to cut more right afterwards during the debt ceiling talks. Once the bill was okayed by the Senate, and the House passed it as is, BO immediately came out and laid down the gauntlet about the debt ceiling debate coming up.

Boehner caught all kinds of hell for passing the Senate bill and vowed to never negotiate one on one with BO again because BO lies every time he opens his mouth........and caught it a second time when he refused to pass the Sandy Hook bill for exactly the same reason........all the pork that the democrats threw into it.

It just recently came out that during the 'big deal' talks two years ago, when Boehner thought he had a deal worked out with BO, and then walked away because BO upped the ante by insisting more than $400B more in tax revenue at the last second, it turns out that the person who insisted on that extra tax revenue was actually Jack Lew.......our new Treasurer if BO has his way.

and I keep telling you it started in earnest during Clinton via a housing bill Carter started......

THEY worked, THEY invested, THEY are entitled to it.

But shouldn't the stuff that isn't your own work be in quotation marks, with a citation? I mean you wouldn't want anyone thinking you were plagiarizing Wikipedia, or the Tax code or someone's discussion of it, now, would you.

From what I can tell, your contribution to the above is "is same thing as...?" and "Every year now starts to feel more and more like a step back in time." Deep thinking, I'm impressed. :-^. That's a period, not a mole.
