What happens when this number gets down to 30% and this country is loaded with Illegal Immigrants from Central America, Middle East, and Africa?

Are you going to stay and pay for all these uneducated, low IQ, unskilled people to sit on their arse all day and get free stuff?

Can’t imagine being so dumb to do such. You would be as dumb as they are to do that.

Thoughts?

Yeah but like 20% pay 90% of the actual percent of taxes relative to percent of income and percent of total percentage

I think that’s great. But will you continue to do such for the hoards of the people I mentioned? Doesn’t sound like sound logic or financially responsible.

Mittens made this point in a speech in 2012, and then caved like a pussy when the press reported it. If he had a pair he would have stuck to his guns and run on this.

This is a stat that really pisses me off. Everyone, and I mean everyone, should have at least some skin in the game when it comes to income taxes.

Sure you do. This isn’t a ‘gotcha’ question and there really isn’t a right or wrong answer.

I am old as hell but me personally I have worked too long and too hard to pay for such. I would 100% take my wealth and leave where it would be more appreciated. That’s just me though. You may feel differently and that is ok.

It's inevitable that our favorite progressives implement a VAT which is extremely regressive. They can't pay for everybody's healthcare, college, social security, and whatever unfunded social programs we currently have without it. So we're going to have a VAT on top of some of the highest progressive income taxes in the world. Sounds like a good idea. I hate people.

He's going to have to denounce citizenship and theirs a wealth tax that taxes the value of all of your assets. Not net worth. Just beautiful. Warren wants to double it like the tyrant she is.

I turn 69 this year so this likely doesn’t impact me. But I would go to Monaco. I realize that isn’t an option for everyone. I have instructed my Nephew (35) and daughters (39 & 37) to flee there.

Have you thought about where you might go? This day is coming it is just a matter of how soon. What we are doing with Illegal Immigrants isn’t sustainable.

Sorry but that is simply not true. You need to research American expats and exit plans.

But yes when people start talking their wealth elsewhere our benevolent politicians will catch on and try to tax everything.

Have a business associate that just permanently moved to Marbella Spain. Loaded with White folks from the UK, Australia, South African, and America. He was able to move half his fortune and leave the other half in US Banks with no penalties.

I can't take my tractor and trees anywhere. My granddaughter is here. I'll just have to suck it up keep reducing my kids' inheritance. I will be fine. Pissed but fine.

You can sell everything. I can’t imagine staying knowing over half my money is going to 3rd World Illegal Immigrants. Talk about stupidity.

We are both retired. I am not as concerned with taxes as I am with someone stealing what's accumulated. I guess it's just what's more important; money or family. Like I said. I'll be fine - just pissed.

Not sure I will ever be able to do that. I envy you. I just don’t think our Illegal Immigrant situation is sustainable for much longer.
