FBI Investigation reopened on Hillary eMails

What people misconstrue is that corporations get tax breaks that John Q. Citizen does not get. People think that equates to "getting away without paying taxes". It doesn't. Say for example, General Electric decides to buy a new Gulfstream 650 to fly it's executives around to it's worldwide subsidiaries. They can deduct the depreciation of the cost of that plane over a period of 5 to 7 years. As opposed to John Q. Citizen winning the Powerball, and buying one to play around in.

That's not the same as, "not paying taxes". Just as I'm sure TAB gets deductions for running his own business that I don't get because I'm retired, sitting on my ass producing nothing. That's the way it should be. This is the problem with the liberal Democrats, along with all of their, "pay their fair share" bantering. If you took ALL of the money from the top 1%. It still would not scratch the surface to make up for all of their wild, out of control entitlement programs, that are bankrupting this country.

They keep saying it's because, "millionaires and corporations don't pay any taxes". That's total bull$h!t. It's just they've been saying it for so long, these dumb asses are actually believing them. It's a proven fact the top 1% of the earners in this country pay over half of the nations Federal income tax. That would not be possible if corporations along with them, "paid no taxes".

Who wrote the tax laws ?
It wasn't the corporations tat are using them to their advantage, it was the politicians who are using them and then bitching about anybody else using them
The Grey whore (NYT) ran a story about Trump using one of those laws to not pay a large sum intaxes.
The very next day it was reported that both Hillary and the NYT had used the same clause to aviod paying taxes.

Show me anyone who has been farming or development for more than a decade that has not had the opportunity to use income averaging, and I will show you a person with a bad accountant.

Anyone who deals with uncertainties like the markets, weather, changing regulatory situations, etc. is going to be exposed to large peaks and deep valleys.  Without income averaging these business people would be forced out of business by either of the extremes.

All of this is why we need to do away with, and we never will, income tax.

It is a powerful tool and weapon, used by the political machine to control every facet of our lives.

The biggest problem with any form of taxation is not so much how it's collected, but rather how it is wasted. With all of the various state and Federal revenue this nation collects on a yearly basis, we should have such a financially fat and secure country, that nothing should or would ever be in the need of repair, or lack any maintenance. There should be financial surpluses existing everywhere. By this time we should have so much money invested, that the nation should easily be self supporting. That is obviously not the case. Instead we are not only broke, but in insurmountable debt. When stupid idiot, dishonest politicians are placed in charge of money, it simply disappears with little to no benefit to those who paid it in.

We are to blame because we do not hold them accountable. The money continually goes to people it shouldn't go to. We allow stupid citizens who are broke, to vote and control something they have no clue how to control. They want people like Clinton, instead of proven money managers like Trump. The end result of these morons voting, is taxation in this country has become much like everything else. A war between the haves and the have not's. There are far more have not's, so they are winning. Again, Clinton is your best example of that.

The tax system, along with it's laws are bad, only in that it rewards insecure spenders, and punishes self reliant savers. People like Clinton become vastly wealthy from doing nothing but public service, and instead of the citizens being outraged, we allow her to run for President. She has basically been given the green light to rob and steal much like her and her husband have been doing for the last 30 years. Only now it will be at the highest level. The sad part is she will most likely win. Again, you can blame no one except the people who will put her in that position..... We the people.

We have to have taxation.
Sucks to hear it, but there are things like the post office, military, heat for the wite house and capital building that must be paid for whether you like it or not.
Should not be directly evied directly by te the feds though.
They have other sources of revenue through import duties and tariffss. Anything over and above that should be paid by the states who already tax their residents.

Tom,Post office is self supporting,No tax monies are paid into it.

We've bailed the USPS out to the tune of about 10 billion dollars in the past few cycles..  They're SUPPOSED to be self sufficient but it's run by a bunch of government shills and union baboons.

Hell, forget the Post Office. Social Security would have been self funding, and even be well in the black if the dumb bastards hadn't robbed it blind, turning into a welfare program. And a loan department for every other government program that needed a financial face lift. Now at bare minimum it's going to take at least $1 TRILLION to fix it. More idiots in charge.
