Quote from: caskur on April 29, 2024, 08:07:51 AM  Dr do not charge rich people more.

I never said they did, did I. I was explaining how flat fees(as doctors charge in Australia and Canada for certain services) are fair, but a percentage of income charge with no ceiling is not.

Quote from: TheProwler on Today at 03:59:50 AMThat will not affect you, Senile Joe.

It will not affect many people.

Shit, it will only affect me if I have a really good year with my investments.  And it only increase the tax on Capital Gains earned over and above $250,000.

It will affect doctors.

I should also mention that Senile Joe is retarded.

Quote from: Lokmar on April 29, 2024, 05:59:57 PMYou stupid fuckers should have assassinated that cunt years ago!!!

Sweet Jeebus! 50% tax outright? OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!!! 67%? Best get to it quicker!!!

That video is misleading.

Historically, Capital Gains have only been taxed at 50% of the rate as regular income.  So if you made $X in Capital Gains, you were taxed as if you have regular income of $X/2.  Say your marginal tax rate was 30%.  This would mean the effective tax rate on Capitals Gains was 15%.

This new rate of 67% is only applied on Capital Gains realized over $250K.  Anything before that is still taxed at 50% of the tax rate you will pay on regular income.

In my province, the highest marginal tax rate (for provincial plus federal income tax) is 46.16%.  So the most a person will pay on Capital gains is 23.08% on the first $250K, and 30.92% on the amount over $250K.


Make sense?

You aint gonna last much longer with policies like that.

That will not affect you, Senile Joe.

All fiat currency is ultimately worthless. Some are just more worthless than others.

Although 'Murica has been weaponizing the dollar for a while now it's only been recently that we've seen direct actions by other nations to remove themselves from 'Murican/western financial systems and abandon the dollar as a reserve currency. That is entirely due to 'Murica's doubling and tripling down on using sanctions, tariffs, asset seizures, etc. as a form of economic warfare and market manipulation.

Our own policies necessitated the rise of BRICS which has yet to really flex its economic impact but has already resulted in a growing number of trades, including for fossil fuels, being paid for in a currency other than the dollar.

Showing data from *before* a massive shift away from the weaponized dollar and saying it proves anything is like showing a photo taken inside a plane just before it crashes and claiming it proves the plane is still flying.

If it looks like copium, smells like copium, and tastes like copium- it's probably copium.
