Obama Disparages Tax Loopholes for Rich--Uses Them Himself
Quote | Reply
What a fucking hypocrite.

Always bashing the rich for using legal tax loopholes found in our overl complicated tax laws, yet, this ass clown goes and does the same damn thing.

What a douche.

"There is nothing illegal about the president’s taking advantage of this tax shelter, but it does raise eyebrows given that he has lamented the myriad tax exemptions used by the wealthy—“millionaires and billionaires” like himself—to pay less in taxes. He has yet to propose a comprehensive plan to reform the byzantine tax code."

er... he gave money to his children.

and a huge amount to some really terrific charities. Including all the after-tax profits from his book sales.

Is there some quote from him recently against this specific tax deduction?

the right had to work hard to find something to whine about in Obama's 1040. Is this all you got?

good thing Romney pulled his money back from his overseas bank accounts. That's a whole different level of tax avoidance.

I don't see how following laws you don't agree with makes you a hypocrite or a douche.

Because a legal tax maneuver (loophole) that can only be taking advantage of by the 1% is the very thing he has been railing against.

He rails on the rich because they too use the very same laws to lower their taxes. So, like a "lead by my example" leader might do, he could have done those things without taking them as deductions. But he didn't. Did he?

Hey, it's not about what Romeny does or doesn't do. It's about what Barry says to do... then he does the opposite.

UTMA/UGMA is used by a hell of a lot of people outside the 1%, especially in states like Texas that have no tax breaks for 529 plans. I know quite a few people that use UGMA to establish a college fund trust that all family members can contribute to.

Perception is reality and the perception of most is that only the 1% can afford to gift their kids $48,000.

So - are you complaining about the fact he used a loophole that anyone can use, or the fact he has enough income to put in the maximum amount?

So you're saying that jriosa is technically correct?

Not complaining about either of those. I merely agree that legal tax maneuver's are used as part of his arsenal for class warfare and tax maneuver's such as this are labelled as "loopholes" because not that many people can take advantage of them.

In order for him to be technically correct he would have to provide data rather than an anecdotal claim.

Aah, but he was responding to an anecdotal claim, no? Or you have data demonstrating that only people in the top 1% bracket take this deduction?

I never claimed to be technically correct, remember, its about perception.

So your claims are all about perception, but you demand facts from everyone else? :) *You* should go into politics.
