Why don't you higher tax types call for eliminating useless government programs, eliminating waste, why do you folks always demand more of others money to support a government so full of waste? If a public corporation were ever as sloppy as the federal government its corporate officers would be prosecuted and thrown in jail.

How do you figure that the rich are getting a free ride when the top one percent of earners in this country pay 40% of the income taxes collected?

That bill did little to close the southern border, if the democrats were serious about closing the border they would have taken up HR2.
As far as the Ukraine goes, it is an EU problem not our problem, the EU has the resources to deal with it we should not be so heavily invested.

But we are not at war “‘or in conflict with Hamas “ so why are funding the killing of children ?
Israel is a long standing ally of the US, we were instrumental in the creation of the Israeli state. Our ally in the Middle East has been attacked in the sandbox that we ourselves have made a mess of, they deserve our support. A relationship unlike the history of the relationship we have had with the Ukraine.

Yes, WWII and why was that the last war the US has ever won?

That’s stupid to say Biden is aligned with Iran. Purely because of political beliefs not reality
Really, while he is trying to topple the Israeli government he is also not enforcing sanctions on Iran and releasing billions upon billions of dollars to them.... You can deny what is clearly in front of you but it is what it is Denny, he is continuing the Obama policies towards Iran.
Denny, when was the last time that the US won a war, and no Granada does not count.
Let us not forget that Hamas is the ruling party in Gaza and they started this war.
I think that the Israeli response to Iran was perfect, it sent a strong message without escalating the conflict. For Israel to stop the Iranian nuclear program they would need the kinetic involvement of the US, given that what they did was perfect as we already know the Biden administration is better aligned with Iran than they are Israel so they could not look to the US for assistance.
Finally something that we can agree on, there is nothing fair about a fair tax, it is the most regressive tax system that I have seen in my lifetime.

Both of us paid for this today --
We spent Government money today as American taxpayers ---- Well-spent money & arms at that
We also continued to maintain a US Foreign Policy dating back to the late 1940s -- The beginning of the Cold War
Make no mistake, your taxes aren't paying for this, it is being paid for by the federal printing press and the banking system which finances federal debt.... The fact that year after year your dollars are worth less and less, well, that is how you will pay for it.

Thank You Mr. Speaker of the House
Finally, America found a Republican who against all odds did the Right Thing!!!!!
I think that you should be sending money to the Ukraine, there is nothing stopping you from writing personal checks and sending them to the Ukraine, put your money where your mouth is.

You've figured out a way to slant everything I posted into a position statement that makes you happy. You are the one who brought in options, you are the one who argued against there being income tax avoidance in favor of capital gains and also the one who said there was NO way to avoid taxes. But there are many ways which I've proven. I'll take the win because you ended where I started. So, the meme is correct - rich people avoid income tax by getting compensation in the form of stock instead of salary. Correct! But, congrats on trying to save face.

You can't take the stock and not pay income taxes on it period. I am done arguing with you. Rich people can not avoid taxes by taking stock, you have proved nothing and the links that I provided explained that clearly. You have proven nothing other than your insatiable appetite to argue with anything I post.... The OP's meme is total bullshit propagated to influence democrat dummies.
You have a great day,

You lost it from the get go with your bs comment. You were all over the board talking about options instead of stock.
You're full of caca, when I mentioned options it was a bit of a misspeak as in the options you have when taking your stock compensation ie if you differ or not, options are a completely different thing and certainly not what you and I have been discussion throughout this thread. Plain and simple, you can not avoid income tax on stock based compensation other than charitable donations where that money actually does not come to you, you're the dummy here fighting a cause you lost out of the block.

Only in Non-informed simplicity thinking. You should be smart enough to know that understanding tax implications of stock vs salary is a lot more complicated than that and certainly more than what's captured in one sentence you found that you think supports your understanding. It does not. It says that at a point in the exercise process that there is a time where ordinary income tax comes into play--it does not expound on how the tax can and is severely limited, deferred or eliminated altogether through NQ plans, Roth IRA's and Charity trusts. Certainly, the meme didn't go into that detail. I tried to educate you with actual real life information, but you're too proud, too insecure, or too ego-centric to admit that your knee-jerk statement of BS is just not defensible. What is wrong with you that you cannot allow the possibility that someone has the work experience to know more about something than you do? Do you believe I'm incorrect and blowing smoke?

Whatever, a Roth is taxed when the monies are withdrawn, Charity Trusts means that you are giving a portion or all of that money to a qualifying tax exempt charity, NQ plans still pay income taxes when that money is realized by the executive, you are the one trying to make a false argument, all I said is that the scenario posted by the OP is Bullshit, that you can't just pay gains taxes when you take stock for a portion of your income which is true, no matter if you pay it for the current tax year or a future tax year that income will be exposed in its totality to income tax.
You are losing this argument but you are too silly to understand that.
