Hi TA,

Last time I read about taxes -The top 20% pay over 70%.

Lower income people actually receive income through our tax system.

This is a "buy your vote" scheme that that transfers wealth from those productive people and pays those who hide income under ground.

I can't tell you how many independent contractors don't understand why banks won't loan them money - because they pay no taxes - a result of having no income.The vast majority of their income is never reported - thusly no taxes.

I doubt our fore fathers ever intended this Taxation without representation or twisted form of it.

The fairness of our code has been corrupted by lobbyist and good ole boy network.

This inequity has sickly been perpetuated by class warfare rhetoric that scares the majority as the "fear words are NEVER defined"

Like the rich are those that pay taxes - they are in fact the minority.

It all is very corrupt and frustrating.

I know only one thing - I pay a lot in taxes and I darn sure don't feel like a break in rates is unfair - I believe it is a huge step towards being fair.

If more were made to jump off and pull the wagon they're riding on - the whole wagon would go faster and be easier for all to pull.

JMHO

Bob

Last but not least - I wish a Very Happy Holidays to all on this thread.

We are a fortunate group to be enjoying both the ups and downs of the investment world.
