Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Tue Mar 20 14:53:24 2018, in response to Re: Portal … take two w/link, posted by Bill West on Tue Mar 20 04:38:28 2018. in no order,about Social Security tax, Robert Reich has several times recommended raising the cap on income subject to that tax a a method of bolstering the fund; I merely add eliminating the cap.The claim that non salary income has already been taxed at the corporation is irrelevant; it is money received every bit as much as W-2 wages. Yes tax avoidance is like espionage (both industrial and national security) it is aconstant arms race between the taxing authorities and the taxpayers. Why else are H& R, Jackson & Hewitt plus all of the independents out there. As to the simplitic "pay for what you actually take, no more no less -period" ,sounds nice, has no relation to the real world. We recently had major fires here in CA, and after the fires mudslides in areaswhere the vegetation holding the soil in place was gone. As a citizen, I contribute to CalFire though I live 100 miles from theSanta Rosa fire area. The mudslides were several hundred miles from my house, yet I and ALL California residents expect to see state tax revenues allocated for repair and mitigation of damage to our commons. If you don't adhere to that basic view of citizenship,we have very little point in further dialogue. |
