    So you have a million bucks in the bank and you make 250k a year for the next 10-15 years and you don't live an idiot you aren't rich?

    Most of America doesn't have a savings account or the ability to pay a 400 dollar emergency bill.

    I guess if you want to be in Medina?

    You're describing comfortable, but not rich. Particularly not in Seattle.

    So what about Renton? Are you rich in Renton? Or extremely comfortable.
    Rich is wealth that can generate passive income. A million dollars is a lot of money, but it cannot reliably produce a lot of passive income. You’ll need to keep working that $250k job and put as much as you can into savings and investments. If you do that you may very well be “rich”, or close to it, at the end of 10-15 years. A salary isn’t rich. What you have in the bank is the real measure of rich.
    We need to raise taxes on passive income

    We need to raise taxes on people earning 250K a year or more

    We need to raise taxes on anything you managed to keep and want to pass along

    Your Democrats

    We’ve lowered taxes on all of these things for decades now. Sometimes taxes have to go up; they can’t just always go down.

    you say that like it's a bad thing
    Why do you think that? I merely said it because H is pretending it isn't the rich he wants to soak with more taxes

    Sounds like you agree with him

    The rich and the comfortable need to pay more. The rich especially need to pay more. It’s unclear why you ever thought I was saying otherwise.

    I didn't

    I know that you were trying to give the impression that a lot more folks than the rich need to pay more just like your party thinks

    250K in California is barely above the poverty level thanks to the dem utopia of taxing everything that moves or doesn't move

    Not wanting to pay excessive taxes is not the same as not wanting to pay any taxes.

    Millionaire is defined by your assets. Your bank account, retirement funds under management, home equity etc. are included in that calculation. I would agree your annual income alone does not define whether one is rich or not. Time and location are large factors weighing in here.

    Your Democrats

    you say that like it's a bad thing
    Why do you think that? I merely said it because H is pretending it isn't the rich he wants to soak with more taxes

    Sounds like you agree with him
    Reps are under the delusional impression that people get rich despite the system instead of because of it, so therefore thy have no obligation to pay back into the system that they took advantage of

    Party of I got Mine, Fuck the Rest of You

    You must be so proud
    Who told you that?
    You and yours tell me that every fucking day

    don't deny it
    Link?

    I pay my taxes.

    Not wanting to pay excessive taxes is not the same as not wanting to pay any taxes.
    Spends his days putting words in other people's mouths

    Gets butthurt when somebody puts words in his mouth

    WAAH WAAH WHEN DID I EVAR SAY THAT SHOW ME A LINK lol

    irony is rich

    Why so angry?

    Those of us who work for a living appreciate the value of a dollar
    There's never enough money to provide equality of opportunity through infrastructure, healthcare, and education but there's always enough money to give a tax break to those who need it the least

    Imagine caping for greedheads

    in 2019

    Ladies and gennemun, yore Rep Party
    Three trillion a year isn't enough? Not to mention state and local taxes and levies. Schools don't suck due to a lack of money. Everyone knows that. Surprised you don't

    I certainly needed a tax break. Glad to have it.

    This is why we have elections.

    You want to frame taxes as a moral issue have at it. I'll try to muffle my laughter

    So you have a million bucks in the bank and you make 250k a year for the next 10-15 years and you don't live an idiot you aren't rich?

    Most of America doesn't have a savings account or the ability to pay a 400 dollar emergency bill.

    I guess if you want to be in Medina?

    You're describing comfortable, but not rich. Particularly not in Seattle.

    So what about Renton? Are you rich in Renton? Or extremely comfortable.
    Rich is wealth that can generate passive income. A million dollars is a lot of money, but it cannot reliably produce a lot of passive income. You’ll need to keep working that $250k job and put as much as you can into savings and investments. If you do that you may very well be “rich”, or close to it, at the end of 10-15 years. A salary isn’t rich. What you have in the bank is the real measure of rich.
    We need to raise taxes on passive income

    We need to raise taxes on people earning 250K a year or more

    We need to raise taxes on anything you managed to keep and want to pass along

    Your Democrats

    We’ve lowered taxes on all of these things for decades now. Sometimes taxes have to go up; they can’t just always go down.
    Sometimes spending needs to go down and you fucking liberals need to take your hands out of other people's pocket. Nothing is stopping you from paying more taxes right now O'Keefed.

    Do schools really suck for any particular reason?

    Honestly the idea of sitting in a classroom against your will for 18 years is pretty much obsolete once the internet came about

    What a load of crap. The top 1% of income earners are currently paying 40% of all the income taxes. I think they have a pretty good idea they have an obligation to pay back into the system.

    According to hands up don't shoot I'm not rich. Yet cunts like CAL demand I pay more than 50% in effective taxes every year and have at least half of any wealth I've accumulated at my death confiscated by a corrupt and tyrannical government which is somehow responsible for my intellect and success.

    With the tax-filing deadline just days away, California residents are worried that a slew of proposed levies on everything from soft drinks to water to tires and car batteries could soon see even more money going out of their pockets in the state that already has the nation's highest income tax.

    As Californians grapple with that 13.3 percent income tax – and some leaner-than-usual refunds this year due to the recent federal tax overhaul – lawmakers in Sacramento are looking at a range of other revenue sources. Members of the legislature's Democratic supermajority argue that these new taxes are vital to shore up the state coffers and to provide crucial services such as repairing crumbling infrastructure, cleaning up toxic wells and fighting obesity.


    Overall, the California Tax Foundation has added up more than $6.2 billion worth of tax increase proposals pending in the state legislature, with that number expected to rise as bills are amended.

    “We have the highest gas tax in the nation and the majority party has gone as far as taxing our air,” California State Senate Republican Leader Shannon Grove said in a statement to Fox News. “Now, they are proposing to tax our water, soda, tires, and more. Higher taxes won’t solve California’s affordability and housing problems, and they will only make things worse.”

    A spokesperson for the California Democratic Party declined to comment to Fox News, instead directing questions to lawmakers who proposed the pieces of legislation.

    One of the most controversial proposals to come out of Sacramento this year is a proposal from Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom to tax drinking water in order to clean up contaminated water in the state’s low-income and rural areas.

    The thing about California is yeah, taxes are high...

    But it makes up for it by putting them to good use.

    Fantastic roads and freeways, public transportation is great, plenty of affordable housing, very few homeless

    I could be convinced that poor Americans should have clean drinking water too.

    Surely you're being sarcastic. If not, I don't know where you've been driving, looking to buy a house or how you've missed the homeless tent cities EVERYWHERE in CA.

    Right because it started in 2016

    I'm in favor of the reduction of the state income tax deduction. Makes the rich pay more and maybe they stop jacking them up

    Surprised you're against it

    Why should taxpayers in other states have to subsidise the tax policies of states like CA?

    So will there be a meter at the house to not tax the poor? Seems like clean drinking water is a pretty basic function of government. Like you would budget that first out of the general fund
