Really?  I pay a larger percent of my income in taxes than Elon Musk does.  And more than likely, that CFO, when he exercises those options, will probably pay a lower percentage of his wages than those 100k workers thanks to SALT caps and other bullshit that the 2018 Trump tax cuts put into place.

As do I. I don’t know how his rsu’s are structured, but I can assure you there are millions of people across this country that contribute so little to literally 0, that he will be paying more than hundreds of thousands of them combined. He needs to pay his fair share, like EVERYONE should, but that doesn’t make his comp obscene.

Look, I used to think like you, but you are absolutely wrong.  Real wages have stagnated for American workers while C Suite pay has ballooned.  It is absolutely bullshit.  And billionaires like Elon Musk should absolutely pay more in to the system because they get more benefit from the system than the average person.

If they really don’t like paying taxes they could put more of that compensation back into the company. I remember reading a long time ago that in Japan corporate reimbursement is limited to some multiple of the lowest paid employees.

Bottom line is things here have gone to volatile shit with the advent of internet trading plus quarterly reports.  CEO or management pay needs to be tied to long-term health of the company or adjusted if that’s not feasible.

Dennison coming in and telling me poors get taxed via higher chance of getting parking tickets and repair bills for their cars isn’t debunked.  Please show me in income tax dollars what the bottom 20% of the country contributes, and let’s discuss it.  Not what they can’t afford because blah blah. How much do they contribute in income tax to the govt.

Every single paycheck they pay taxes.  Federal withholding, medicare, etc.  Their tax refund does not equal this amount.  Now, if that's wrong, then I was fucked out of every menial job I ever had.

[The Original Greaser Bob 2799]

There should be a minimum check that every person pays - even if it's a $100 bucks.    In other words, even if you are getting a refund, you have to send in your check.  If you owe more than $100 bucks, then you are fine - you write that check. There needs to be a point where everyone thinks about paying the taxes even if they have reviewed their pay stub every pay period. 

Then every tax payer should get the equivalent of a corporate annual report that tells where all the money came in and where it went.

I don’t hate the poor. I hate that a fuckload of people do not contribute shit to this country, yet have the gall to throw stones at those who worked their way to the top about what they “owe”.   Just once I’d like to  see one of these billionaires look into the camera and tell them how they’ve given more money in one tax year than 500 generations of that family.

God damn. This is still the most powerful political cartoon I’ve ever seen. Every part is perfect. From the contemplating look of the construction worker to the downcast dejected look of the “foreigner”. Just poignant as all hell and a full on indictment of society. This should be in a future museum of history, if museums still exist then.

No, you’re a fucking ungrateful piece of shit that wants to destroy everyone else’s birthright, including your own. 
 

By virtue of being an American, whether your ancestors came over on the Mayflower or they just arrived, whether you’re from a big city or from a rural state, whether your daddy owns the factory or your mother is a maid, you—you—are the owner of some of the best seafront property the nation’s got. You own magnificent waterfalls, you own stunning views of mountains and canyons. They belong to you. They’re yours. And all that’s asked of you is to put it in your will, for your children, so that they can have it too…Hopefully, you’ll provide for proper maintenance of this property that is yours. But that’s all you’ve got to do. Now, that’s quite a bargain. — Dayton Duncan

Well, according to fatty, you only contribute if you pay income taxes.  He doesn't count social security tax (even though it is an income tax and is not a locked box), FICA, the federal gas tax, or any of the other myriad of taxes one might pay.

I dunno.  A good start would be increasing the capital gains tax on people who contribute nothing but sit back and earn a living on investments and/or live on loans backed by those investments.  Exempt retirement accounts and homesteads.

Biden cancels drilling. Rabble rabble 

actually read the article 

"Due to lack of industry interest in leasing in the area, the Department will not move forward with the proposed Cook Inlet OCS oil and gas lease sale 258," a DOI spokesperson told FOX Business in a statement Thursday.  

"The Department also will not move forward with lease sales 259 and 261 in the Gulf of Mexico region, as a result of delays due to factors including conflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed lease sales," the spokesperson added.

The spokesperson also told FOX Business that "there are 10.9 million acres of offshore federal waters already under lease to industry," and "of those, the industry is not producing on more than three-quarters (75.7% or 8.26 million acres)."

It’s his stutter that was gone his adult life and is magically reappearing and worsening as he declines. As we reach extreme old age we essentially devolve into small children again mentally and physically. Need help eating, getting dressed, remembering our schedule, shitting ourselves. This is just another manifestation of his brain deteriorating. Denying that is silly.

In order for things to be equitable, a whole lot less people would have to pay taxes. 5% of someone’s income making $30k a year hits a whole lot different than 5% of someone making $500k a year. You talk about equity, but you ignore the impact and the lower spending power that the bottom 90% are left with. How’s that equitable at all? I may be mistaken, but you seem to be leaving out the spending power side.
