How to encourage tax cheating by the very wealthy
BIGUN replied to kallend's topic in Speakers Corner
Thanks to you and Phil. I guess I've just had my head buried in the sand about it. I support a flat tax or strongly revised tax code, but for a simpler reason - I don't think I should have had to pay tax attorneys to prove my innocence. Of course, the legal fees were tax deductible, but that's not the same as using the money to grow the business. Nor, do I "blame" the Bills' & Jeffs' of the world. Accountants get very caught up in meeting the challenge of helping their clients/employers to avoid taxes. It's like a game of chess to them. -

Originally, I thought you were wrong and what I found out was - 64 million shares = $4.6 billion. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/15/bill-gates-donates-4-6-billion-largest-pledge-since-2000.html Then I found out, you were right. https://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/bill-gates-promised-to-give-away-his-wealth-well-that-was-bs.html Dammit. -
They didn't have an I-9 form in 1952, John.
-
Not really sure why you're so heels dug in - Employers have to have the documents presented and if they get it wrong, there are significant penalties. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9

Example of white privilege? I had to bring the ID's required on the I-9 form. You have to bring what they list in box 6 of the W-7 form.

Wow. Joe's in a mood.
-
Which means 51% are in favor? Must be a CNN quote.
-
It's in the skydiver's information manual. On that note, have you seen the hoops one has to jump thru to get the new upcoming mandatory Real ID? That's going to be a burden on most; not just the poor.
-
No argument. Some states have a free or reduction of fee for various reasons. Income, disability, age, etc.
-
One needs a passport and/or DL to get an ITIN and employers require you bring your ITIN or SSN card to work the first day, so they can check your status. I think that's state dependent - I have to have my card or a government issued ID to vote.
-
Agreed. It's democracy's fault, you left your ID at home? If I go to the DZ and forgot my pay card; will they let me jump? No argument. Well, except you're saying the same thing as the right wing.
-
Those that have opposed an ID for voting.
-
So, you're not opposed to everyone having an ID.

It's improper to not cite the source: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/05/04/materials-acquisition-for-global-industrial-change-magic/ Author: "Guest Blogger" But, guess who the writing is - "Say her name." -
True. There are many pulling away from the "Rush Right." But it's time for both [all] parties to start leaning more center.

Interesting operations and enforcement plan. All I can say is; "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Prosecutor: Did you hit that man in the face with your fist? Defendant: No. Prosecutor: Sir, you’re under oath, do you know the penalty for perjury? Defendant: It’s less than aggravated assault.

Shit. I just sat down with some popcorn to watch this and you turn the TV off.

Because 94.87887374% of Americans don't even know what "homophily is?

All true. And, the stage was set by the Magna Carta - a document that would influence change to this day. As you know, Madison relied heavily on its writings for the US Constitution. If given the ability to go back in time; I would like to meet Aristotle, Charlemagne, and King John.

No argument, but it is a serious process.

Agreed. And, even though the district had established a code for cheerleaders which required the members of the squad to “respect their school, coaches, teachers, and other cheerleaders and teams…There will be no toleration of any negative information regarding cheerleading, cheerleaders or coaches on the internet.” She posted a Snap photo of her and a friend holding up their middle fingers with the text, “f*** school f*** softball f*** cheer f*** everything” superimposed on the image. The girls in the image were not wearing their uniforms and did not share the name of the school district. The school district invoked the "cheer code" and dismissed her from the squad. At the hearing, school officials testified that the discipline was imposed because of the student’s use of profanity - out of school, off campus, no identifying school colors or mascots or anything else on their clothes - it was just them "expressing" themselves. From my perspective; the school was caught up in a whirlwind of "let's do something." I think it was overreach on the school's part. Just my opinion.
