Or perhaps we'll start with the President or his wife and their bullshit land deal with convicted felon Tony Rezko? Or any of the, what is it now, six, seven, twelve, cabinet nominees that have been tax cheats?Paul Kroenkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905336586579220647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450128688601342756.post-71342782557648382442009-03-06T12:57:00.000-06:002009-03-06T12:57:00.000-06:00No Paul, you don't understand. This idiot dentist ...No Paul, you don't understand. This idiot dentist said that she was willing to give up $70,000 in income to avoid paying $2,100 in taxes. Are you serious? Did anyone do the math? $2,100 is not a new hire. Perhaps if Obama is given more than a minute to succeed and implement some sort of viable national health care system, she won't have to offer health care coverage to her employees (or will end up paying less for her own) - that would probably save her $2,100 and then some.<BR/><BR/>Interesting sidebar on Sharon - I did a google search for her, and she came up in someone's blog as having fired off an angry letter to Larry Summers back in '05 when he made his foolish 'women and science' comment - she of course was very incensed, being as she considers herself 'a woman and a scientist'. Hope that old Larry didn't read that ABC news article, or his point will be pretty well proven, wouldn't you say?

The argument still stands that someone like Sharon will be unable to make the new hires she might otherwise have made, which is the point that I made. It amounts to a disincentivization to earn enough to try to hire more.<BR/><BR/>Feel free to get into taxes on net income and the like if you want, but my argument still holds up in that case as well.<BR/><BR/>I suppose, unlike liberals for the past eight years regarding Bush and the war, I am to be crucified for oversimplifying to prove a point, rather than celebrated?<BR/><BR/>Class dismissed.Paul Kroenkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905336586579220647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450128688601342756.post-32261819617601466822009-03-03T21:33:00.000-06:002009-03-03T21:33:00.000-06:00Neither you nor the ABC journalist nor Sharon Pocz...Neither you nor the ABC journalist nor Sharon Poczatek understand how taxes work. But at least ABC was good enough to talk to a financial advisor who understood and correct their article.<BR/><BR/>Sit down and shut up. Class is in session.<BR/><BR/>Tax brackets do not apply to the total income, only to money earned beyond the start of that bracket. That is, Sharon Poczatek and others earning more than 250K will only pay the top tax rate for money earned beyond 250K.<BR/><BR/>By sabotaging her income she is not saving one single cent.<BR/><BR/>You should thank the so-called liberal media for providing you with a journalist ignorant enough to confirm your demonstrably incorrect understanding of how taxes work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2450128688601342756.post-63972277626402186872009-03-03T17:32:00.000-06:002009-03-03T17:32:00.000-06:00Ms. Rotenstein, please attribute your quote "...Ms. Rotenstein, please attribute your quote "improved health care means a healthier workforce that is more productive," to the Soviet leader from which you quote & the year please.
