>>> You and INODE are on the ridiculous extreme end of tax policy. You're doing it again, idiot. Attacking me without the slightest cause. What have I said about "tax policy" that you don't agree with and that is extreme? Please be specific. Or withdraw your accusation. You seem to have a problem with accusing me of stuff I haven't said. Perhaps you ought to pay attention instead of imputing to me things you THINK I said.

You are correct Michael lots of those people almost payed 0% tax income. I think if you made most of your profit from the stock market then the tax was a much lower capital gains tax for example. Buy property and the interest for the loan was deductible. Invest in some small business's and ventures and incorporate all of them and that profit was individually accounted for so 5 business making $200,000 per year were taxed at that rate but you would rake in a million. About the only people who payed the full tax were sweepstakes winners. Even then it was only 90% of the amount over $400,000, not 90% of the total.
