farmer52 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 A friend sent me this information...Hello 2015 taxpayers here are more new punishments for working and investing in this country As a brief reminder for those who forgot or formany that didn't know.Here is what happened, quietly, on January 1, 2015:Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.35% Top Income tax bracket went from 35% to 39.6%PUNISH THE WORKERS....TO REWARD THE NON WORKERS Top Income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%MORE PUNISHMENT FOR WORKING HARD! Capital Gains tax went from 15% to 28%MORE TAX UPON INCOME THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN TAXED! Dividend tax went from 15% to 39.6%MORE PUNISHMENT FOR INVESTING WISELY AND MAKING GOOD DECISIONS! Estate tax went from 0% to 55% PUNISHMENT FOR SAVING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION! ONLY TO HAVE IT GO TO THE GOVERNMENT! A 3.5% Real Estate transaction tax was added. MORE PUNISHMENT FOR INVESTING IN A HOME OR RENTAL PROPERTY! Remember this fact: These taxes were all passed solely with Democrat votes, Not a single Republican voted for these new taxes.These taxes were all passed in the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. If you think that it is important that everyone in the U.S. should know this, the many millions who don't yet, then pass it on.

41chevy Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 BBC shows that 52.8% of America is collecting some type of hand outs from the Feds and 28% are illegals or people with resident status (amnesty). 48% of Military dependents are receiving SNAP. To put the Military in focus, the minimum wage a fast food worker receives in more than most military make in the first 4 years. The percentage of SS and SNAP is not counting retirees collecting SS.

HeavyGunner Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Though it's unrealistic I wish the working class could make the barter system work and never technically "make" any money. Wouldn't that be great to watch half the U.S. And our government crap their pants! Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

HeavyGunner Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Work on that! Because there is another round of tax increases coming in 2016. Part II of the Affordable Care Act.Something is going to change and soon I hope. Eventually the dwindling working class are going to get sick of supporting everyone else. Eventually no one is going to want to work just to give everything but a little bit to survive on. I really hope we start getting some better politicians. Cut the government way back. Make it smaller and serve its purpose, TO SERVE THE PEOPLE not serve the fringes and special interest groups only. No more career politicians two four year terms and you are done. The regular joes working class citizen which I think makes half the voters or more needs to start speaking up. Hold all government officials from city council to the president accountable, don't let them lie right to your face on TV and not make a fuss. its a long shot for any real change but it certainly ain't gonna happen if we continue to just sit on our hands and shrug our shoulders. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.
