Opinion Bill Burr goes Philadelphia on an leftist fan

If you think someone should work for 30% of their pay you are not living in the real world

Again, when tax rates were 90%, the effective tax rate was 42%.

The people in the 38%(top tax bracket btw) aren't actually paying that. We know anyone taking pay in stock is paying 15%. CEO's and hedge fund managers shouldnt be paying 15%. Can we agree on that at least?

Can we all agree that for you to pay 15% on capital gains, that you should have to pay out of pocket for your principal investment, and it can't be compensation for work rendered?

That the 15% rate on capital gains, is actually for profits made on investment, and not bankster skimming, or executive tax dodging?

Burr has his moments but he has fallen off a but in the last decade or so. Dude has been around forever though and deserves respect for that imo.
Bill kinda fell off when he married Nia
 
But it was for socialism. We also passed the new deal, and Eisenhower was building the interstate road system, along with the electrical system that hasn't been upgraded in most of the country to this day.

Nope. The New Deal was passed in the early 1930s and the tax increases did not come until deep into WWII.
 
Ehh, whatever. I consider Medicare part of the new deal, even if it came 20 years after the new deal.

Whatever is correct, whatever it takes to justify having a stupid belief because you never have been or will be successful in your life.

How does someone who actually understands some things, believe what you believe?

Rhetorical btw, there isn't going to be a satisfying answer, I know.

How does someone believe reality and not warp it to fit what they want to be true? You are dumb as a rock...

<JonesLaugh>

No really, everyone should think that the taxes were raised in 1944, because of the New Deal created in 1933 and thanks to the costs of Medicare that was created in the 1960s...

Ha, yeah. WWII, social security, Medicare, roads, electricity, basically building the whole infastructure for a world power, a massive social safety net, and a world war, but we are too broke for free college right?

Nevermind that during that era that states basically made college free back then too.

1944. They were raised in that year. A thing does not get raised to pay for stuff not done for another 10-20 years. You are the dumbest person posting on the boards today. Congrats. I can see why you are so desperate for the government to start taxing and giving away more free shit, you are clearly not capable of making a livable wage.
 
Great idea, penalize the people who have spent 30 years working 65 hrs a week..Then give the money to the lazy Bums...
 
Gee, I’m glad Bill Burr has an opinion. I’m also glad that Bill Burr has no expertise in history or economics, so his opinion is worth precisely as much as any other random asshole’s.

Did you just talk shit about Bill Burr? Someone tell me he didn't..

It also doesn't get passed for things that only happened in 1944.

Correct. It gets passed for the world war that has been going on for 4 years creating the massive amount of debt that needs to be paid off....oh wait, whats this? A chart that shows WWII caused a massive amount of debt? You mean...reality?!? OH noes, its REALITY, you should RUN because debt increased when they raised tax rates to decrease the debt...and then dropped tax rates as the debt dropped!

You know what I find? Massive upswings in manufacturing and production , starting around 1970 and ending around the turn of the century, right after NAFTA.

Remember the corporations gushing over Trump and throwing money around when the tax breaks started? That was what, a 2 or 3 % cut? They react like that to a tiny cut, lets see what happens when you decide to double their taxes instead.

Hello, China.

can't forget Dave Attell.
 


Classic Burr. Obnoxiously loud delivery with a lot of "Boston-tude" masquerading as comedy. The only line in this whole thing that made me chuckle was the one about the rain and umbrella. The rest was like watching some random college buddy riffing at a kegger.

But to each his own. One of my best friends thinks Adam Carolla is hysterical and listens to his podcast religiously. I think Carolla is even less funny than Burr. It is what it is.

So basically you're offended he said :eek::eek::eek:.

And the debt from WWII in the last year of Eisenhower's term?

So they were passed for WWII, and they kept them in place 15 years later, and even raised them to a high of 92% at one point, for what reason again?
 
Every Monday Bill Burr does a podcast and near the end of it he reads questions sent to him. A fan asks his opinion about the 70% tax plan and he goes into epic rant mode only outdone by his Philadelphia performance.

*Cliffs: If you think its a good idea to take more than half a persons earned money, you never were or will be successful and are more than likely a political sheep that is easily misled.

EDITED TO ADD WARNING: Lots of swearing in video.

Marginal tax rates, how do they work?
