That is unfortunately (Yob culture) why I would have serious reservations about living there. But I have similar or worse reservations about living in the U.S. (apart from a very few places). In most (the vast majority) of Europe, volent crime rates are a fraction of the U.S. (and U.K.) ones.

That's the sort of ignorant thinking that gets rightards into trouble. There are many ways the wealthy get to pay lower taxes. Here's one: Long-term capital gains and dividends aren't taxed as regular income. It's a flat 15% even before you find any deductions. So, if you own a ton of stock that pays you $250,000/yr in dividends then you pay no more than 15% of that as income tax. If you are given $100,000,000 in stock by the company and you sell it a year later, you pay 15%. If you earn $150,000 as straight salary then you pay about twice as much. -- Ray Fischer rfischer(a)sonic.net

One example, check out the inheritance tax laws Bush put in place.. > the last time I checked, the more money you make, the greater percentage > you have to pay, .....that's what the tax tables in the form 1040 tell > me..... Talking about OTHER taxes, loopholes opened up for the wealthy and the owners/CEO etc of big business. People whos income if "off the chart" of those tables that you refer too. They didn't help anyone whos income figures are on some tax table. Stephanie |
