Vote for Bernie today

I think a big problem is most people don't know what the loopholes are, or how they work. Then they hear loopholes, scream bloody murder, and get pissed without knowing why.

We use some loopholes for our farm. We get tax credits or we can deduct certain things up to a certain limit, if we say decide to put a building up or we buy a tractor and we can depreciate all of it in one year. Things like that. We pay less taxes that way. You know what we would do with that money if it all went to taxes? We wouldn't put buildings up (or not as many), we wouldn't buy as much equipment as we do. So who does that hurt? That hurts other businesses, who employ people. Wonder what happens to those employees if people have to pay more taxes and buy less things because of it? So explain to me why these loopholes are bad. I'd love to hear it.

Not all loopholes are created equal. I'm sure some are good. Some are bad. As per of putting our financial house in order we would need to simplify tithe tax code where applicable and remove disengenous, obsolete and poorly written loopholes. Some go and some are needed and stay.

For example:

Does it make it a better place? We don't know where that money is going. So why create incentives for people to make less money? That's counter productive.
I have never heard of an incentive that would make me want to make less money
 
education, wage increases, healthcare improvements and encouraging small businesses.

Who is paying for all that? Poor people?
 
Does it make it a better place?

Theoretically yes. If the money is allocated properly.
Maybe bernie is a start to get us headed in the right direction
 
I agree with that for the 1%ers that have taken advantage of the rigged economic system we live in (I'm looking at the top bankers, credit bureau directors, top insurance company CEO's), but not for well meaning businessmen that are creating jobs. Overtaxing them could mean having to lower salaries or even worse, having to take their business elsewhere.

In fact, tax the 1%ers 100%, run em' out of business. Bring the economic wealth back to the People by breaking ties with the zionist run federal reserve. May the US government be run by true American spirited people again!

I wonder if maybe we have any examples of people who get free education, money every month, their own laws, free healthcare, etc etc. hmmmm.....if only we had such an example of people like that in North America.
 
Think about it Fish. We'll use your example.

People that make $50,000,000 a year are taxed at 75%.

People that make $40,000,000 a year are taxed at 55%.

Who takes more money home?
I look at it like this. If I'm in that scenario, either way I make enough money to live comfortably and never have to worry about money so I would just continue doing what I'm doing to keep my company successful for all the people in my employ.

I wouldn't tank my company in order to make less money so I can get a tax break that allows me to buy my 10th Lamborghini and 5th yacht.
9 lambos and 4 yachts are enough for me

Paris Hilton and kim kardashian? Ya I agree

I have a mother in law who doesn't work and she gets all kinds of free ****.
She can barely walk and is sick as hell.
Thank god she gets that stuff. Otherwise I would be paying for her stuff and I already barely get by and live in the one of the worst parts of the state getting my fence tagged on the regular and hearing gunshots on occasion.
