It’s not the differing views - it’s whether or not they are supported by relevant agreed upon information

Seeing he is an Ole Miss grad, and only posting on Mississippi themed threads, I take it that he is defending the position of Miss govt. Lil bias setting in.

It's cool. I used to defend La in same manner.

It's just an opinion; that's it.

You are of the opinion that it won't stop at student debt forgiveness? Or was that just being sarcastic?

Tell us how you really feel?

ok, once more because it is humorous. Why stereotype people? Didn't go to Ole Miss-there are other schools in the state. Bias-hmm. And before you assume again, I voted for Hood-not that it should matter. Childhood story is apropos to this amalgamation- The King wears no clothes

Oh sorry you posted "Miss" and didn't specify. Easy mistake.

Not sure who Hood is or what office he/she was running for.

We've seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot here so my apologies if you felt offended or attacked.

I'd be willing to bet Gates' effective rate is closer to 10% than 40%.

That's going to depend on how good his accountants are.

But seriously, in principle, I don't think there is anything wrong with allowing tax breaks when someone risks their own money in a business venture that creates jobs and that has a positive economic impact in an entire region.

In the case of Bill Gates, he may pay $0.00 in personal taxes, but the tax revenue that Microsoft creates and the number of people it employs, directly and indirectly, I think more than makes up for him not paying a 40% personal tax rate.

And (a very simplistic example to make a point) if the government wants to go after Bill Gates' money, with what he's worth, he could simply shut everything down, maybe get taxed once, then just cruise multiple lifespans without paying a single dime in taxes again, but this time, with no tax revenue or jobs from Microsoft.

That seems a slippery slope
Maybe an MIT professor graduates dozens who start companies that create jobs- should their tax rate be different bc economic impact
College football coaches?
Comic book creators write stories that make billions??

Their reward for the risk paying off is the profits in which makes them Billionaires. The end.

Given your questions, I feel I'd need a wall of text to explain how it all works, and I am not going to do that.

The state actually voted to legalize marijuana and it has a really substaintial percentage of the vote. Thankfully our legislators are looking our for us and stepped over the voters to make sure it stays illegal.

Welp, Colorado was the first snd biggest state to legalize the open use of pot. They are now the biggest abusers of cocaine. So just me thinking, maybe there is some correlation?

But if people voted to legalize something, a governing body that overwrites the vote of the people, should be voted out as soon as the next election. That is just unbelievable, in any case.

I am all in for a national sales tax and to do away with all income taxes!

The more you make, the bigger toys and more you buy, the more taxes you pay! This way, when a drug dealer or other earner of ill begotten gains purchases something (IE; a Ferrari, mega-boat) they pay!

Sales taxes are regressive and affect the poor much more than the wealthy.

He could consider that a feature

What if the people demand something but the governing body refuses to put it to a vote while taking massive money from special interests?
