We have poor American citizen who had joined our military and put their lives on the line, fight and died, to protect our country. But we, also, have rich businesses and companies who open their headquarters overseas to avoid paying taxes. The poor is also made or asked to carry burden.
@@giuffre714 Watching CPI go up 500% since 1970 while wages went up 80%, profiting from the increased CPI. Neglecting to pay fair wadges, now we lost the middle class.
I dont think that taxing incomes over $250.K , a rich mans tax rate at 30% is outrageous.. After WW2 the top earners had a 50% income rate 30% is not to high at all
What about before WW2? And do you realize when they had insanely high taxes in the past, they had more loopholes? Also I'll never understand how people want to have a higher percentage tax for the rich. Percentages already scale. If someone makes 10 billion dollars, and they pay 20% that's 2 billion. If you make 50K and pay 20% that's 10K. The billionaire still pays 200,000x more. If you guys want meaningful change you have to be fair. Flat 20% for everyone, all loopholes cut out. And the poor will already get government assistance so their effective amount of money paid falls naturally that way when they get let's say 10K worth of benefits.
Lobbyists for all corporations need to be limited. There are 3 lobbyists for every congressmen and senator in U.S. government. How lobbyists does oor citizens have?
I'm about to turn 59 on the 17th of this month and I've been watching this show I'd say for at least 50 years! ty for excellent programing and congratulations on the success of staying on the air!
All tax cuts to the rich cut? 1.3 trillion dollars to the deficit? 100 billion a month? Make the rich pay! They make me sick weasling out. Make them pay!
The most important thing is to get rid of all the tax loopholes for the rich and corporations. We need to vote more people like Bernie Sanders and AOC into the government. People who actually work for the middle class instead of the billionaires.
The rich will always be one step ahead and figure way to move the money to not get taxed. I don’t blame them either, if I were in their shoes I’d do the same exact thing. Even if a rich person couldn’t move the money you can only tax them but so much before all his wealth is gone. Then who will you tax? Ah yes, right back to the people who are already footing the bill. The middle class. You don’t need an economics class to figure that out. Yeah socialism is all fine and good until you run out of everyone’s money. Then what????
You are not making sense. They are hiding the money for the tax breaks, so lower the tax rate and get some money back. Bernie Sanders makes great talking points, but I will not work at any practical level. The politician thing is beyond corrupt.
You think they don't pay other taxes to service the USA? Import taxes. Payroll taxes. Sales taxes (which they collect and pay.) Capital gains taxes for the shareholders (double tax.) Property & TPP taxes on their assets here.
3:19 if you think that is big, the Total Unfunded Liabilities is more than $180 Trillion. Liabilities towards the government equally spread out to every citizen of the United States would leave every citizens to pay more than $543,000 to the U.S. Government to eliminate the Total Unfunded Liabilities. We can't go on forever like this. Rising liabilities and a decreasing workforce is a recipe for disaster for the future of the U.S.
Rich people always threatening that it’s going to hurt their business and they pay more taxes but yet when they get a check for $14b year they’re not complaining
Our government has forgotten about their constiuants. We put your where you are at. You owe us, the American people. You owe us to do your job and legislate and get to work for America.
Taxing the rich needs to be implemented nation wide, while tax cuts for the middle class also needs to be implemented nation wide. The answer is simple and obvious
Won’t happen. They will tax middle class more without touching the rich. The only thing middle class can do is to move to Florida and Texas where there are no state taxes
we have a deficit that is on the verge of sinking our country, we cannot have any tax cuts, the only way out is to tax the wealthy and cut government spending.
You a so fking WRONG! Taxes go into politicians' and corporations' pockets... We poor pay taxes and see almost no REAL services in return. Our government pays 10 BILLION dollars for one g
It all comes down to the inability to change or new way of thinking. No one dares to challenge the system. A lot of these politicians have self interest and short term vision We need not only a powerful leadership but also group of people who needs to support the change
we need an entire united states system reset so that this corruption can be dealt with and laws need to be made after to ensure this hateful crap does not happen again
It is all greed with these people. $5000 a year is a drop in the bucket for the ultra rich millionairs. Oh so big corporation shouldn't pay into our school systems? This is wrong.
Yes and it's so ridiculous. You're probably aware that even people who choose not to have children pay school taxes and $5000 a year for one house is common. If the 1% who make the laws wanted the corporate tax rate changed, it would be changed. Since they're not paying massive amounts of taxes, they don't bother with it so they can pretend it's an issue in the media. It's smoke and mirrors.
Bottom line, they pay the taxes or someone else will start up a company doing the same thing here and we stop buying that product that screws our tax system .
Hi Lee and Paul! Just wanted to share that these crimes actually have become pretty common since the lockdowns three years ago. I've kept up with current events voraciously since March 2020. The "Why Me" question has an answer: This is the new norm until things change and we need to get more people, especially naive people to understand that. I live in a suburb of DC; I have been in DC and/or DC adjacent for 12 years and no longer go out at night. My neighborhood has severely deteriorated. It is not unusual for carjackings; gas siphoning; catalytic converter theft; and random gun assaults to occur. I wish there was a way for me to convey to both of you and your friends to understand that it has never been this bad in my lifetime (age 49). I was definitely worried about you and Paul in St. Louis. Used to love that place... just please get your friends to understand the world has changed and to look into current events for cities they are "nomading" in.
Its not just DC that crime is out of control, its happening all across the country. With more and more law enforcement budgets being cut, you will be on your own, buy and gun and learn how to protect yourself and your family.
If you're getting taxed it's because you're not rich enough, or not smart enough. It's EASY to hide money and assets if you have the right accountants and lawyers, so are you dumb or wannabe rich and just aren't?
I got a job, That I really LOVE, I am making more than I've ever made before. But now,... I payed for my income in taxes with almost 23% of everything I made claiming 0 and at the end of the year, I owed more, so They took it. I clamed myself at the end of the year and I STILL OWE? How fair is that?
I wonder if the CEO who said the WA income tax would cost his company $50,000 and that would stifle his business knows how absolutely stupid that claim is. $50,000 is what he pays just one, repeat just one, professional employee.
We just need to get rid of all these complicated tax codes. The best way to tax any money that gets sent or received via any financial institutions that are recorded as like 10% each way. So I pay you $100, I get taxed $10 and you get taxed $10. Easy, done. Do it for wire transfers, deposits into stock brokerage accounts, credit cards, any recorded cash purchases or sales, and crypto exchanges. Companies and rich people will naturally have more transfers so more taxes.
Hmmm…I think there’s policy changes within the education system that would drastically improve it and not cost much. Like removing the no fail policy at schools like my sister’s. She’s had only one kid come in the past month because the kids know they will pass the course even if they never show up or turn in a single assignment.
How can any Nation exist without paying its bills? I favor having a flat tax. Everyone paying a fair percentage of their income. Our infrastructure, to include roads, bridges and water works systems, is falling apart. The word 'Taxes' is not a cuss word. They are essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The 2017 tax bill eliminated essentially the 2nd story. Through BEAT and GILTI, the profit shifting to lower tax countries is gone. Also cash is no longer parked overseas primarily for US tax reasons
The problem in this country is everyone wants everything and pays nothing. When these people are old then they realized that it is always a balance of all things to rob from one and pay a hefty price for another. But the riches still need America to sell their products since no other in this world has major purchase power like Americans. We as Americans should boycott their products.
Personally, I think of the US government is really that concerned they should just cut spending as opposed to cutting taxes. If you are looking at getting rid of tax cuts and everything, perhaps US government people should stop spending so much on these programs which lots of people, including myself, don’t get to take advantage of. Only the people who are wealthy good to take advantage of the loopholes in the tax law and for me since I’m not rich, I don’t get to take advantage of those loopholes because I don’t know what they are and I don’t know how are use them. Very simple message stop spending so much money on borrowing more to continue to spend. Then maybe we can get our deficit under control but it’s gonna take 50 years or 60 years to get this deficit down under $100 million which means that the people of today like me well long since be gone. Our great grandchildren might benefit yes, spending cuts were made, but I never hear that from these people!

I wouldn’t mind spending high taxes on my high paycheck if we had a highly functioning and efficient government bureaucracy. The government needs to cut spending it’s insane. We’ve increased education spending 300% adjusted for inflation yet our public schools have decreased in quality with all the new tech in classrooms.
Probably because we are funding private schools through the voucher system. So much so that the public schools are suffering. And with some of the ridiculous restrictions being placed on curriculum because of the regressive nature of some of our politicians, we have a major shortage of teachers in those states.
Interesting, how is it, that one area needs 35% of of your income to maintain its society, and other equally advanced countries only need 15%? I live in Washington, Zero Income Tax, but not mentioned is the high Sales Tax. Washington, in 2022, has a $15 Billion dollar tax surplus, and are still maneuvering ways to increase the Tax they are collecting.
The tax haven situation is a race to the bottom. The solution that I see would be for all countries to get together and charge the same tax rate. We couldn't even get together on a pandemic, so I have no hope.
I’m sure I would LOVE to pay the Swiss tax rate too. If only I had the money to “live and work” in Switzerland and enjoy the benefits of the US. These small countries are just poaching American money because they don’t have scale. Disgusting. Lol and that Cisco exec could use some of those profits to cover that combover.
I am not American, and just googled whether there are any income taxes today in Washington - and guess what - there are not. Let me guess, nothing has changed on either of these issues! Anyone else getting sick of the tax evasion by the superrich over and over and over and over again? Or money in politics?
When you see politicians and conservatives talk about lost revenue from business leaving or how the rich need motivation to keep innovating just let it sink in the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands almost considered taking apart historic bridge just so Bezos could move his $500M superyacht through. "Rotterdam now won't dismantle the Koningshaven Bridge for Jeff Bezos's boat. After backlash, the ship's builder Oceano decided to not move forward with a request to alter the bridge to sail the yacht" Only after the "peasants" revolted did they change their mind. As if we need any more reminders the old world nobility haven't gone anywhere in this world of "Meritocracy".

Yea that low tax rate would work just as well as the stupidA$$ trickle down deal and look how bad that turned out
Can't complain about single digit income tax. It's mandatory here in Europe and in double digits.
Problem: Consumption Exceeds Production in America.
Answer: Increase American Productivity. Put America back to work. ❤
Problem: Federal Government Deficit Spending.
Answer: A Congressional Balanced Budget Amendment 💵 💲
But then I dream. Our politicians are more interested in being re-elected than they are about doing the right thing for the American People.
It's all about the money 💰
Social security is not an entitlement for seniors....we put into that. It's an entitlement for the young
I wouldn’t mind spending high taxes on my high paycheck if we had a highly functioning and efficient government bureaucracy. The government needs to cut spending it’s insane. We’ve increased education spending 300% adjusted for inflation yet our public schools have decreased in quality with all the new tech in classrooms.

Probably because we are funding private schools through the voucher system. So much so that the public schools are suffering. And with some of the ridiculous restrictions being placed on curriculum because of the regressive nature of some of our politicians, we have a major shortage of teachers in those states.

Interesting, how is it, that one area needs 35% of of your income to maintain its society, and other equally advanced countries only need 15%? I live in Washington, Zero Income Tax, but not mentioned is the high Sales Tax. Washington, in 2022, has a $15 Billion dollar tax surplus, and are still maneuvering ways to increase the Tax they are collecting.
It's odd isn't it. Countries with nationalized health care and free college education pay so much less than we do. America is for the rich.
@@bds3919 The majority of the US budget goes towards military defense.
The CEOs who do not want to pay for education do not deserve to keep their jobs.
Then they'll stop. Less of what need. Why not quit spending?
Lotto was for education? Where billions dollar from lotto for education
All states need to pay taxes. This will end this nonsense
shame on this people, shame, shame
The tax haven situation is a race to the bottom. The solution that I see would be for all countries to get together and charge the same tax rate. We couldn't even get together on a pandemic, so I have no hope.
That's not possible because not all economic systems are created equal.
I’m pretty sure Obama isn’t president anymore 😅
I’m sure I would LOVE to pay the Swiss tax rate too. If only I had the money to “live and work” in Switzerland and enjoy the benefits of the US. These small countries are just poaching American money because they don’t have scale. Disgusting. Lol and that Cisco exec could use some of those profits to cover that combover.

Really really en pointe why American politics are not workong!🔥🔥🔥
I am not American, and just googled whether there are any income taxes today in Washington - and guess what - there are not. Let me guess, nothing has changed on either of these issues!
Anyone else getting sick of the tax evasion by the superrich over and over and over and over again? Or money in politics?

When you see politicians and conservatives talk about lost revenue from business leaving or how the rich need motivation to keep innovating just let it sink in the city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands almost considered taking apart historic bridge just so Bezos could move his $500M superyacht through. "Rotterdam now won't dismantle the Koningshaven Bridge for Jeff Bezos's boat. After backlash, the ship's builder Oceano decided to not move forward with a request to alter the bridge to sail the yacht" Only after the "peasants" revolted did they change their mind. As if we need any more reminders the old world nobility haven't gone anywhere in this world of "Meritocracy".
We’re still having trouble getting the richest people to pay their fair share of taxes. How many billions does one person need? GREED IS UGLY.
This is so wrong. We elected you into office. I will never pay another dime to any of your requests. How dare you do this. You have a very generous salary. You do not need our denations. This is so wrong.
How you can do it legally?
Ugh, this was 12 years ago. Nothing will ever change.
Any company that inverts in this way should be excluded from American markets.
Keep showing this…

Why is it never cut government funding? Downsize? Consolidate?
