Logical ask a question that I would have had to say no to. There is this thing happening here in ATLANTA as we speak where white suburbia has gotten tired of the 2 hour drive to downtown so they are basically kicking the poorer black residents out to build condos' and houses. Im not saying there is nothing wrong with people getting tired of the drive and wanting to move closer, but it is the way they are going about it. In order to get the residence out they are raising the taxes on property higher than what the houses are worth either to get them to move or sell their homes. Now once the nieghborhood has been purchased they rebuild on the whole block and the house or condos are so expensive that only the more previledged people can buy there. Now unlike Prospect or downtown Atlanta, before the people were forced out, there was not a heavy police presence. In order to get the people to buy or even move in they had to make a deal with the mayor to provide the police presence. I would not move into a place where I didn't feel safe and wouldn't expect anyone else to do so either. Now before I would even consider moving into a run down nieghborhood and start to build up, there would have to be that same type of police protection they provide for a more upscale nieghborhood. I would have to feel safe. So I don't blame you one bit for not moving there. find a safe place for you soon to be wife. Don't move into the hood to prove nothing. Now for Yosef, I understand that the rich pay more in taxes, but they are also able to write off alot more. Now here is a question for you. You have two families
married couple w/two kids and a combined income of 75,000 taxed at 28% which means they actually make about 54,000 and may get back 2-5000 for writeoffs if they have a house.
The other family is married double income making 3,000,000 taxed at 39% which means they bring home about 1,170,000 in the fair world but not in this world. because you see they first of all are able to afford the first 16% that comes out that is not taxed which means they are taxed on 2,520,000 which means they bring home 1.5 million. now after the write off for the house, cars, equipment they use for a side business (it doesnt make money its for write off purposes only), what they give to the church ( they are Christains), and to charity they are paying in my best guess somewhere in the bracket of 10-25% in taxes which means they actually make about 2.25 million not including what the first 16% is making and you make fun of me when I tell you the tax codes are made for the rich? Honestly which family would you want to be. 28% of 75,000 or 39% of 3,000,000? Thats what I thought. I would say that the rich needed a tax cut if they didn't have the writeoffs that go along with making that kind of money. Lets push for a tax system that taxes you on things you buy with no writeoffs then no one would need a tax break.
