Overheard on BenefitsPro |
What everyone seems to forget is that in almost every case, those wealthy citizends they are talking about paid income tax when they first earned it- and usually at federal tax rates higher than 30 percent, and then elected to invest the remaining portion after taxes into investments that are taxed at a lower rate in order to spur investment and economic growth. For many of us, we have paid taxes on that same dollar over and over and over again. Then we are told that we are not paying our fair share. And don't forget that when we die, anything over 5 million this year, and over 1 million next year will taxed at death at estate tax rates up to 45 percent or more. So the government gets more than it is entitled to in my book!
