Am I the only person who is actually proud and relieved that I pay taxes? Am I that naive that I expect everything to be paid for by someone else? With that said, the Cut tax plan currently floating around will cost me about $5G’s…so much for trying to prepare for my future. SAD
Maybe tax shelter would work for the working class? There seems to be a problem in dealing with the responsibilities of the real world, and in an alt-reality lowering taxes will continue to increase revenue no matter how often alt-reality believers do it?
The papers show that the Duchy of Lancaster, a private estate of Queen Elizabeth II, held investments in two offshore financial centres, the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. Both are British Overseas Territories of which she is monarch, and nominally appoints governors. Britain handles foreign policy for both islands to a large extent, but Bermuda has been self-governing since 1620. The Duchy’s investments included First Quench Retailing off-licences and rent-to-own retailer BrightHouse.66 Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn asked whether the Queen should apologize, saying anyone with money offshore for tax avoidance should “not just apologise for it, [but] recognise what it does to our society”.
CRABBYRINO, my Mom stood up at a townhall in AZ and told the group that she is happy to pay taxes because that means she was successful enough to owe taxes. I was so thrilled when she told me about it and I am so proud of her.

Holding wages constant (adjusted for inflation), reducing human services, and lowering taxes is going to make America greater?

I always pay taxes, that’s why I despise tax cheats like Trump.

I Think that the queen owns Most of the wealth of the world.
