Disapointed in no Aerosmith jokes, puns, or references.

That guy is advocating making a fortune in the US, then splitting before paying your taxes?

Didn't they already swipe our money to feed their lavish lifestyles and hide it in offshore locations? I mean, where did all MY hard earned savings evaporate to, MARS? Poor babies, I have no sympathy.
Even poor little Rushbo wants out of New York because of high taxes! I hope if his house, err mansion, ever catches fire, he can afford a private fire fighting company to put it out for him since he doesn't like paying taxes for public services. He's griping about a 31% income tax rate! He should be thankful that it isn't the 90% it was raised to after the Great Depression, just for millionaires back then!

Heh, “It’s never enough” that’s a great slogan for liberals…
Two people, one makes 100,000 a year the other 10,000...
Lets say the tax rate is 10%…
The guy making 10,000 is going to pay 1000 dollars in taxes.
The guy making 100,000 is going to pay 10,000 dollars in taxes…
But…IT’S NEVER ENOUGH!!!
I love it.
I say you should get 1 vote for every 1000 dollars you pay in taxes. Equality what a freakin joke!

No, he's advocating having
made a fortune in the U.S., and then splitting before paying
Obama's taxes.

More realistically, in the U.S.
The guy making 10,000 ends up paying 0 in taxes
The guy making 100,000 ends up paying 10,000 in taxes, after giving 5,000 in charitable donations
The guy making 1,000,000 ends up paying 300,000 after giving 200,000 in charitable donations
Or something along those lines.

Heh, they tax your estate after your dead, why not?

Technically that’s a transfer tax placed on the recipient of the estate…but that’s just semantics, right?

No, My Dad put his estate in a trust. His assets were no where near the threshold that would trigger inheritance tax. However since his estate has not been liquidated completely yet, we had to get a tax number for the estate and pay income tax on income over $600 a year. So yes, they tax you after your dead.
