[Del.]

Harris is now avoiding the media by wearing headphones every time she exits a vehicle or airplane.

Protecting Democracy.

Another bullshit "policy" that she supports is the unrealized capital gains tax that the media is dead silent on.
Say your mother and father (or you) paid off their house back in 1979 for $50k.
It's now worth $380k.
They will owe taxes for 25% of that value. And if they can't pay it, the government will buy it from them and rent it to them.
Supposedly it's only targeted for those who meet a certain income threshold, but we all know that once it's implemented it WILL make it's way down to the middle class. It always does.


She also wants to impose a $5 TRILLION tax increase over the course of 10 years.
Small business tax hike of 39.6%
Corporate tax rate from the already absurd 21% to an whopping 28%. Add State corporate taxes onto that and it's over 30%.

Here is a direct quote from the Biden-Harris budget: "Together, the proposals would increase the top marginal rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to 44.6 percent."

Yes, you read that correctly: A Kamala Harris capital gains and dividends tax rate of 44.6%

China's capital gains tax rate is 20%. Is it wise to have higher taxes than China?

Under the Harris plan, the combined federal-state capital gains tax exceeds 50% in many states. California will face a combined federal-state rate of 57.8%, New Jersey 55.3%, Oregon at 54.5%, Minnesota at 54.4%, and New York state at 53.4%.

Harris wants to impose a second Death Tax by taking away stepped-up basis when parents die. This would result in a mandatory capital gains tax at death — separate from, and in addition to — the current Death Tax.

This will impose a steep tax increase and paperwork nightmare for small businesses, farms, and families.

$37 billion tax on American energy
32% increase to Medicare taxes
Carried interest tax on capital gains
$24 billion retirement tax

An even further-supersized IRS
If you thought Harris and congressional Democrats had already supersized the IRS enough, think again. The Harris budget plan shovels another $104.3 billion to the agency.

Oh your just repeating talking points.

lol except these ones are actually factual and true.

I've always thought that property tax was a scam. I realize that it pays for roads, schools, etc. but if you ever need a reminder that you don't ever really own your own property, stop paying your property tax.

UK talking shit pot bollox too regarding taxing the fuk outta anyone with a property.
Or bank account.

I'm sure I've posted the links before, regarding the Crown "owning" everyone's land....which is why "forced purchase" is oh so easy.... :whistling:

[Jeff]

I realize that it pays for Roads, schools, etc.

The largest selling point of the state lottery and the Lotto, is that it goes to schools and roads.
That's one of the biggest lies we've ever been told. Michigan roads are always fucked up and I'd argue the worst in the country. A few years ago Detroit closed something like 26 schools saying that funding was an issue, etc... Every year Teachers are always asking for donations and have to supply just about everything for their classroom, kids are forced to sell stuff for sports, books, etc..

Where is the money actually going? The never-ending I-75 construction in Metro Detroit and surrounding areas has to be filling the pockets of people. Meanwhile most of the county roads in this state are filled with potholes.

Jeff is right on point.

We pay property taxes through the nose and our roads are still shit, and our schools are still broke.

I will say it yet again...how we vote has a direct correlation to how we live.

I don't know how it is where you guys live, but there are a LOT of large apartment complexes between Seattle and Tacoma. Renters don't seem to understand that property taxes also have an effect on the amount of rent they pay so they tend to vote for every levy imaginable.  Pair that with housing values these days and property tax is out of control.

I think that they have a mechanism in place in Washington State where your property tax will get frozen once you hit a certain age but haven't looked in to how that works.  I have heard on the news that several senior citizens were forced out of the homes they've lived in their entire lives due to property taxes.  That just seems wrong.
