How are tarrifs supposed to be "worse" than income taxes??
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 7th, 2024 2:20 PM Author: aphrodisiac doobsian filthpig forum Tarrifs sound 180. Its just a consumption tax on foreign items. Importing certain things will cost 1000% more than what they used to cost but you can control what you buy. The very wealthy won't give a shit and middle class can just avoid it. a bunch of new domestic companies will pop up to replace the foreign stuff too.

there's where you're wrong, bucko. that's exactly the point.
the libs are framing it as a "national sales tax" because they're trying to deceive the middle class to voting against their interest.
wealthy people pay very little in income tax. they have plenty of ways to avoid whatever capital gains they make. their wealth increases tax free. but they still need to buy shit. especially when their wealth is based on business, which requires materials from overseas.
a person with no income that has the ability (necessity) to consume a lot does not benefit from a tariff tax system over an income tax. and that's exactly why the libs (party of the elites) are frothing mad about it. |

Date: November 7th, 2024 2:47 PM Author: Kink-friendly gunner a high-income individual has a very low consumption to income ratio. They're not going to notice tariffs like regular folk will. It's more of a mixed bag for corporations, but like inflation, they tend to have the market power to pass costs on to the consumer.
A consumption tax can potentially work well if you do it like Europe (VAT with graduated brackets). Straight up tariffs are a sledgehammer. |
|
Date: November 7th, 2024 2:50 PM Author: bull headed location hairy legs yes. we need a sledgehammer because the complexities built into the code are specifically designed so that the elites who have the resources and incentive to work around them can do so and pay a lower effective tax rate.

how is "40% from everything imported from china" any different? and before you answer with something like "they could move it through another country", just think about how easy it is to disguise capital gains as loans and the myriad of other kikery that exists. no matter what system has there is going to have to be some enforcement around ensuring people doing weasel around it somehow. |

> would you say the consolidation of wealth has increased or decreased since we began relying in taxing workers rather than tariffs?
is this a trick question? the period of highest income inequality was immediately before 1913, and the institution of FIT was a direct response to this inequality
wealth inequality plummeted after the FIT was introduced, until around 1980 when (holy fuck i wonder why) wealth inequality began its upward trend |

can you enlighten me? |
|
Date: November 7th, 2024 3:04 PM Author: bull headed location hairy legs i meant "avoiding being taxed on whatever capital gains they make"
well first are foremost capital gains are already taxed substantial less than income. and there are many methods by which realized capital gains can evade even paying tax. for instance, taking a loan secured by your wealth is tax free.
all you need to do is look at the tax returns of the wealthiest people and their effective tax rate. warren buffett is of the same mind as me here. jeff bezos got child care tax credits meant for poors before. |
|
Date: November 7th, 2024 3:28 PM Author: Irradiated Public Bath Dysfunction "taking a loan secured by your wealth is tax free."
this is bananas. a loan is not a gain.
"all you need to do is look at the tax returns of the wealthiest people and their effective tax rate."
yeah, i'm a CPA. i understand cap gains/rates. there is some element of magical thinking in your original post that just doesn't exist.
its just passive income at that level. you should see what i can help people do with real estate!

|
Date: November 7th, 2024 3:33 PM Author: bull headed location hairy legs what is the effective difference taking a 0% interest rate loan of $100k against your holdings versus selling your holdings for $100k in cash?
look, i deal a lot with tax and finance too. of course this is unnuanced because it's for a broad audience. but if you're a CPA than obviously you know that there are many ways to avoid paying tax that the drafters of the code did not intend (or intended loopholes for grift).
do companies pay the big 4 huge sums to ensure they are scrupulously complying with the intent of tax and accounting policy, or do they do it minimize costs as much as possible? |
|
Date: November 7th, 2024 3:41 PM Author: Irradiated Public Bath Dysfunction a 0% loan violates the AFR requirements. so that's not a thing. a loan involves the requirement to pay it back.
the best ones are ones that are strictly by the book. cost segregation analysis is fantastic. worth every penny. i personally benefited from that. its just depreciation on a silly scale. but that's hardly a loophole. the depreciation is justified only because there is a new retail store-which we do, as a society, want to encourage.
this loan-back thing is beyond silly. if you have a legitimate sneaky snake way to avoid cap gains, tell me. i have a 1031 coming up and i'd rather not.
where i have partners, we pay significant fees for accounting work. but its not secret handshakes and silly plans, just accurate, painful accounting.
now, I (me personally) do crazy shit personally, but it has nothing to do with this conversation.
|
|
Date: November 7th, 2024 3:49 PM Author: bull headed location hairy legs you're getting into semantics with the APR shit. it was a question to illustrate that a loan versus sale can often effectively been the same thing. the same goes with purchasing and leases, which is also a thorny issue when people try to skate around accounting and tax policy.
the loan versus sale thing has several more steps. again, i'm simplifying because a nuanced and accurate discussion of this would require hundreds of pages and not for an online forum audience. you must at least be aware of the concept of schemes available to avoid paying capital gains tax.
the best evidence is the tax returns of billionaires. their effective tax rate is miniscule. certainly not 20%. so how does that happen? again, my tax partners and the big 4 wouldn't be getting paid millions if the point was to pay the taxes the drafters of the code intended. |

2023 imports were $3.8 trillion and individual and corporate income tax revenues were $2.6 trillion, so we're looking at an almost 70% tariff on everything to replace the income tax.
Does that work with those numbers? Certainly not, because if we impose a 70% tariff on imports, imports are certain to go down, so the tariffs will need to be higher. What's the tariff rate where imports reach an equilibrium where $2.6 trillion is raised? Truly no one knows |

Biggest expense beyond the mortgage is food because we buy healthy food and cook our own meals and will buy from farmers and other sources to make sure it is healthy. Food prices can increase, that's fine. We already pay higher prices for that to get local rather than meat imported from Mongolia.
Tariffs sound 180. |

Date: November 8th, 2024 10:39 AM Author: swashbuckling plaza associate Greetings,
If there aren't jobs for those 53% that pay enough that they'll not pay 0 in tax, is that really their fault? Should they all start small businesses that mostly end in bankruptcy proceedings, and if they succeed, they enable their owners to pay less tax than they would as a wagecuck?
If they get paid so little, aren't /they/ subsidizing /your/ lifestyle? I don't see much difference between that and Wal-Mart's employees being on welfare. Taxpayers subsidizing the Walton family's bankroll. |

Date: November 7th, 2024 4:56 PM Author: Wonderful drunken menage Most imported goods, at least by value, are intermediate goods in a supply chain, not the final product sold to end users. The manufacturing we do in the U.S. has a huge foreign component. Companies and supply chains are all setup this way. We may end up with such prohibitively expensive supply chains that it makes sense to start manufacturing some of these items domestically, but it’s going to take a long time and huge tariffs for it to get to that point because Americans make so much more than foreign labor in these countries. And other countries we export this stuff to will also slap tariffs on our goods. So it’s going to be hugely disruptive for a while, though probably accretive to blue collar workers. It will be a huge net negative to the upper middle class because we are paid based on maximizing capital allocation. That will go away some if blue collar labor becomes so important again.

I also don't really think he's being sincere and is just using it as political gamesmanship but there are better ways to deal with the fallout from NAFTA type globalization and to rebuild our domestic mfg capacities that don't involve the tariff also re: linking the US into the human centipede of the globalized economy---it's already done; the ships are burned, the djinn is out of the bottle. Agitating trade partners already in our economic sphere of influence is not the way to bring production---much of which, if you use something like American auto production as an example---there is just not much organic demand for atm. There is a lot that would need to be built up and laid out in advance to stimulate demand for domestically produced products in several industries and fwiw I think that is completely do-able but that's something that would take several administrations to do and is the sort of thing you'd have to have either one party or a bipartisan committee write up and propose to the public. It is unfortunate but it takes much longer to bring that capacity back home in a way that's economically viable than it did to sell it off and send it overseas |
