You all hide behind the 1%.When I say you all I mean the 0.1% who live off their assets. Many physicians are in the 1 % and are working 70 hours a week and as for me my tax bracket was 44% plus lost deductions on my last 100K of income in the past. I never had an S corp and was one of the few who paid the Obama tax. The best physicians I know left medicine in their 40's. Lots of fun things one can be doing for a living while paying 0 taxes when you are as bright as they are. I am being offered a fully rehabbed house with rental contract in place of 2K a month for 100K.I am sure I can get any tax below 10% or even 0% using allowed methods. I am for a wealth tax of 1% on assets over 5 Million and a financial transaction tax and a national; sales tax with a refund depending on income level. and yes I will be in this group with you. People on this board stop using the 1% figure and call them the .1% .These are they who pay little tax, have bought the press for a propaganda machine, pay off the politicians, and provide bread and circus to the people with divide and conquer their motto

Eastar Jet, a South Korean budget airline, said on its website that flights from Cheongju to China’s Harbin, Ningbo and Jinjiang will be stopped temporarily starting as early as March 15 through Oct. 28 because of “worsening relations.” Seoul-based Jin Air, a unit of Korean Air Lines Co., said it is reviewing its flights from Jeju to Shanghai and Xian and preemptively restricted bookings to avoid disruptions. Spring Airlines Co., China’s biggest budget carrier, canceled flights from Ningbo to Jeju March 15 through 26, and a spokesman said it was due to “changing market conditions.” Jeju Air, a Korean low-cost operator, said the airline’s request for charter flight in March to Ordos in Inner Mongolia was rejected by the Chinese authorities. Travel curbs imposed by China on mainlanders with plans for a vacation in South Korea are likely to cut revenue at airlines, travel agencies, package tour operators and cruises by about $5 billion, according to estimates by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The China National Tourism Administration verbally ordered local travel agencies to stop selling tours to South Korea starting March 15, the state-run Korea Tourism Organization said last week. More than 8 million Chinese visited South Korea last year and Chinese make up 85 percent of tourists to the resort island of Jeju. Costa CruisesSome sea-cruise operators are also pulling back. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. said Thursday on its Chinese website that it will cancel port calls to South Korea and replace them with some in Japan for vessels that sail as early as March 17. Costa Cruises, controlled by Carnival Corp., is also scrapping calls to South Korean ports and re-routing them to Japan. China is concerned that the U.S. missile shield -- called Thaad -- will alter the balance of power in the region, and is lashing out by squeezing South Korean businesses on its soil and by discouraging citizens from traveling to popular tourist destinations such as Jeju Island. The Lotte Group, the Korean conglomerate that offered land to house Thaad, said this week that as many as 55 of its retail stores in China were suspended. The U.S. military said this week that the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system was aimed solely at defending Seoul against potential missile attacks by North Korea. Tweaked AccordinglySpring Air’s spokesman said tourism and airlines should be “markedly affected” by the ongoing situation between China and South Korea, adding the carrier’s schedule after March 26, when the summer-autumn flight season kicks off, will be adjusted accordingly. However, the stoppage of services wasn’t widespread. China Eastern Airlines Corp. said ticket sales to South Korea remain normal. In response to the shuttering of Lotte Mart’s businesses in China, the foreign ministry in Beijing said Monday that the government welcomes “the investment and operation of foreign companies” and protects their “lawful rights and interests in accordance with the law, as long as their businesses abide by laws and regulations.” South Korean Trade Minister Joo Hyung-hwan said March 5, he was “deeply concerned about the measures taken in China,” and that the government will seek recourse in international law should China violate its trade commitments. — With assistance by Dong Lyu, and Kyunghee Park
