Education and Critical Services? If the government didn't spend all their money on national defense for a war that is completely unnecessary, the maybe they can actually pay for education and critical services. Besides, Kim K should pay the same % tax as everyone else. Her paying more than what she does now is unfair. So FUCK THIS VIDEO AND YOUR LIFE.
Kim Kardashian should kick everyone of her hater's faces. If I was her, I would be way more in your face and not let anyone disrespect me like that. Jealous haters go die in hell. She's the one getting all the free stuff not you, cuz you're ugly, fat and broke.
Well, seeing as the "only 1% more" she pays is more than twice what the middle class taxpayer makes in a year, I think she is paying her fair share plus.
This is insane that the percentage gap between her and the middle class is only 1%. This is the problem with this country, tax codes are messed up. Lets raise taxes on the millionaires!
This video is for stupid people who don't understand percentages. Kim Kardashian pays 10.3% in taxes on $12,000,000, which comes to $1,236,000. Explain to me how that is unfair.
I wouldn't pay Kim Kardashian as much as she makes. I solve that by not watching her show.
I don't quite understand the people that defend millionaires, trust me they don't need or care for your help or supportive opinions, the sad truth is that most of them just care for themselves and that is why we need to unite ourselves to gain some political clout and get the government on our side, we need to remember its the government of the people not the government of the rich.
We are defending fellow Americans from people like you who think you have a right to take things from people at the point of a Gun for some moral or social issue.
The Federal Government shouldn't be on anyones' side. Are you people insane? All Men are created equal. You can't make make laws for some people and not others.
This is why the Federal Income Tax needs to go away. It's immoral and it makes people like you envious.
I agree with you. The government has no right to tax the fruits of our labor. As long as the company is making money through legitimate capitalistic means and not through government welfare (TARP bailouts), they shouldn't be taxed at all. Too bad these progressive liberal douche bags don't realize this and group all rich people in the same category. Now they want to tax rich people, which is just a bad temporary solution to fund low quality monopoly education? Fucking bullshit
Try living in Australia. If you earn over $50 000 you pay a much higher tax rate. and it gets higher the more you earn. my parents have paid fifty cents in the DOLLAR most of their lives. fucking tax cheats can fuck off.
OMG this video's comments makes me sick. It's true what my friends are saying, you people are converting this country into communism. I'm seriously considering moving out of this broken, cynical, corrupt after I get my degree. Wow. Just wow.
@CUNTservativesRDung I'm not leaving anytime soon. I will do all I can to fight this pathetic communist mind set. Every person should pay the same tax RATE regardless of the persons financial situation. Success should not be punished nor given kick backs.
@RandomChannel1013 Thank you! You are the only person here that actually understand how fucking ridiculous this campaign is. Everyone should pay the exact same tax percent regardless of how much money they make and it is turning us into a communist society.
Next year, without the "Millionaire's Tax" our public schools will have appx 30 furlough (closed) days, in addition to those furlough days we now have. The students will be in school about 150 days/academic year.... line up your child care....
@rsergant who gives a shit about kids? if parents can't pay for their kids to go to private schools they shouldn't be having them. it's called population control.
When you compare how much she is left with it is still a lot more then what the average person is left with. Even if she paid double what the average person in California pays, she still is left with a load of money. You people that think you should not raise taxes on the rich do not understand math or logic. It is not stealing to ask people to pay more taxes if they are sitting on millions of dollars .
You know, she could just move to another state and spend 182 days or less in CA. That way, she wouldnt have to pay CA income tax.
The video uses a trick for those who cant maths. Try showing ABSOLUTE taxes, instead of %. She pays as much as 283 average Californians! Thats right, 283. Hows that for a fair share?
And she ain't riding subsidized transportation, collecting food stamps, or going to public schools, so she really doesn't get what she pays for. She'd subsidized other Californians.
Kim should leave California and establish her residency in a state with no income tax (Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming). That would save her $1,231,629 per year!
Gov. Jerry Brown wants more tax money for his scholarships for illegal aliens scheme. Illegals are expected to flock into California trying to take advantage of it.
This is completely lying. The middle class does not pay 9.3%, it's more like 5-6%. And if they are paying 9.3%, you are proving the fact that the California tax rate is too high, and we need to cut taxes here.
@jimhunt81 Sorry Jim, but those making $47k a year or more in California, are in fact taxed at 9.3%. We have the HIGHEST income tax rates in the country!!! tax foundation with a dot and an org.
And it's a shame that there are people out there that want to extract more money from those that have become successful in this country even though they ALREADY pay MILLIONS in taxes.
@nextdrink45 People like me are taxed at 9.3%. I make about $52,000 and in 2011, they the total withheld was 4.5%. Reminding that I am also single, and have 0 exemptions. However, the average family gets less taken because they have 0 exemptions. Mind you, compared to other states, its still too high. If anything, we have cut taxes across the board for ALL people.
hey guys im from turkey and i don't really care about your economy but music was good so i want to find it can anyone help me?
by the way if some chick can have 4 million dollars for just a sextape and no one criticizes this situation, im sure a lot of american teenage girls will hit the road to become pornstars..
Lots of karTRASHian are making comment here !!! she made money from porn sex tape... Top 1% should pay more tax's no doubt... But who gives a damn about this shame less family who make some of their money from Chinese sweat shop who uses child labor...boycott kim kardashian
Lots of karTRASHian are making comment here !!! she made money from porn sex tape... Top 1% should pay more tax's no doubt... But who gives a damn about this shame less family who make some of their money from Chinese sweat shop who uses child labor...boycott kim kardashian
She not only pays more, as the top comments show, because the video itself shows... She pays an entire percent more from her income... which the video also shows... Whoever made this video is pretty stupid... Oh wait, some of them are from the Obama campaign - couragecampaign . org/page/content/aboutus/
I can't stand the Kardashians but this ad is a bunch of blatant lies. What is a "fair share" for "rich" people? How much of a "share" of the public schools can our kids use? None, because they're overrun with illegal aliens (who don't pay their "fair share" - not a penny). More than half of the California budget goes to playing or illegal immigrant expenses. If you want to go after money, remove that burden so Americans can take advantage of OUR tax money.
@ronineditor Illegal immigrants....oh, you mean the rich, white millionaires whose ancestors came here on a boat from Europe? The ones who "discovered" America? Those immigrants? Because they didn't come to this country legally either.
I think Kim Kardashian would do just fine if the state of California took half of that 12 million and used it to fund programs. She'd still have 6 million left to live on.
@cadmiumblue Where the bloody hell do you think that $6 million would go if we didn't take it away from her? Do you think she burns it to warm her house? Why can't you people understand basic economics?!? Search YouTube for "eat the rich" and watch the video from @BillWhittleChannel
@cadmiumblue Oh, so because she's successful, she "has" to give half of it back to a state that can't manage its funds? The top ten percent pay 90% of the taxes... fact. How many of those programs do "rich" people use in California? Welfare? Horrendous public schools? Bad-traffic? No parks?
I'm so sick of this liberal communist mentality that whatever you make should go to someone else who didn't work as hard or as "smart" as the successful person. Want more money? Work smarter.
"'Discretionary income' is what's left over after taxes and basic necessities are paid (rent/mortgage payments, utilities, insurance, medical, transportation, property maintenance, child support, inflation, food and sundries etc).
How much *discretionary* income do most Americans have. Not a lot.
That's why people with endless amounts of discretionary income should pay a higher tax rate." somebody comented this on another video and i just couldn't make a better argument for this video.
Why should we tax her more. It's her money and she gives away over a million ever year in tax. If you socialists/liberals/progressives want more money then don't steal it off rich people, go out and earn it.
Hey Kim, come move to Florida. We don't HAVE a state income tax, and Disney World is WAAAY better than Disneyland. Our entertainment industry is blowing those old, crusty Californians away.
@2000Betelgeuse no the "progressives" get away with lies like this video because of math-ignorant people like you, who believe a YouTube video instead of crunching the numbers for themselves!
I'm not a fan of Kim Kardashian. But I abhor anyone who stoops to lies and deception to advance their agenda. Rich Jacobs of Courage Campaign, you are a lying sack of shit. Or could it be that you're just too stupid to even understand how wrong, mathematically, you are? How can a "progressive intellectual" be stupid?
Truly sad, the math-ignorant Americans who believe this bullshit. Given the numbers this hack organization, "Courage" Campaign, the "middle class" family earning $47k would pay just under $10k to the State of California and to the Federal IRS, or just around 20%. Kardashian would pay approximately $5 MILLION, or over 40% of her income.
Seriously, you people need to spend less time tweeting and tweaking and more time sober and in math class!
Kim, listen to the people who are on this page. You and your family should pay more taxes and if you do not do this I'm sure people will not watch any shows.
@janicerc501 Hey KIM.....you don't need to pay another damn cent in taxes baby!!!! You pay MORE THAN ENOUGH in taxes to this destroyed state thanks to the DemoCRAPs!!!!
I like many, will watch anything you are in!!!! Be it movies, TV shows, sex tapes, anything!!!!
If the state goes after you and tries to steal more tax money out of you, just move next door to Nevada! And take the $1.2 MILLION you pay in taxes to this stupid state and spend it helping Nevada's economy sweetheart!
”According to the 2010 IRS tax rate schedule an individual making $47,000 would have 15% tax rate and pay $7,050 in federal tax. If Kim Kardashian had a tax rate of 16% on her income of $12,000,000 she would have paid $1,920,000 in federal income tax. She would also pay state income tax on top of this. Kim Kardashian paid 272 times more in federal income tax than the taxpayer who made $47,000 (1,920,000/7050=272)!Kim Kardashian paid over $2,000,000 in income tax in 2010.Way tobelieve anything.
@SheyaSite do you know why this bunch of hacks used $47k as their number? Because the 9.3% marginal rate only kicks in for anything over $46,766. So they actually pay 9.3% on $3,234. The rest gets taxed at a lower rate, some of it much lower.
My guess is that "Courage" Campaign isn't even intelligent enough to understand this, itself.
@matthewsmagnone Math isn't your strong suit, is it? And since when are taxes supposed to be punitive to punish success? Oh wait, since the class warfare got kicked up a notch, oh... about 2007. What was happening around 2007?
@matthewsmagnone Um, no, that's less than .05% for the average person. No, it'd be EXACTLY like $4,700 for someone making $47K a year. Roughly 10%. Not difficult math. Stop thinking emotionally to prove your point, start thinking with facts. I know, it's difficult for liberals to do.
@ronineditor then why dont you run for president smart ass and fix every problem in the world since you know everything. that person making 47k a year has bills and shit too and they have to manage their money more than someone making 12 million a year. A person doesn't need that much to live off of and should be giving more.. I wouldn't have a problem with it if I was a multimillionaire. oh wait, millionaires need a bunch of fancy stuff and are spoiled, I forgot
@matthewsmagnone That is not the point. The point is that the ad is misleading. They use the percentage marker to make it appear that she pays only a fraction more in taxes when in reality she pays quite a lot.If you want to make the argument that people who earn more should pay more tax that's a fair debate but be honest about it don't mislead.
@SheyaSite Good point but relatively speaking that is "a tiny bit more"
She can afford $1,236,000, it's hardly anything compared to $12m and she will make back that much quickly so it's no loss and not much for her to pay. $4371 is a significant ammount out of $47,000 that can't be made back quickly. Sure Kardashian literally pays more than the middle class Californian, but it's a pitiful ammount really.
@SheyaSite it is not about the amount of money she pays it is the percentage. Cause it sounds like if she pay a higher percentage she wont be able to still live off millions???? She get so much free stuff already.
@SheyaSite Are you high? She still has $10, 764,000, while the middle class income is left with $42, 629 and you think this is fair? It's ass kissers like you that allow for the rich to swindle our entitlements and fleece public services while making laws to avoid paying into the system. Wake up, she don't care about you fool; The jigg is up!
I still haven't seen any answers on why someone with such extraordinary income pays only 1% more than someone with a normal income? And I know everyone says that she stimulates the economy by buying more, but I don't think rich people would stop buying things just because their taxes would raise a bit.
@Megara, using the numbers Courage Campaign uses, and nothing else, the family with $47k income would pay roughly $10k in income tax to the State of CA and to the federal IRS. That's roughly 20% of their income. Kardashian, earning $12 million would pay close to $5 MILLION in income taxes, or over 40%!
Seriously, go ask a math teacher or an accountant rather than listen to this lying bunch of hacks called "Courage" Campaign.

4th, how many jobs did the average Californian create last year? How many people are employed by the average Califonian? How many people have gotten rich because Joe the plumber endorsed their product? How many people are employed at the average Californian's clothing company? Or nail polish factory? Heck, she spent $10M on her last wedding alone! She gave out $10,000,000 worth of paychecks for ONE event! How many people do you think made money because of that ONE event?
3rd, using their own figures, Kim Kardashian paid $1,236,000 to the state of CA in ONE YEAR. The average Californian paid $4,371. So, she paid 283 times more than the average Californian! And if she decided to move out of CA because of this new tax, the state would lose over $1M a year! And that's just ONE person moving! What if her family goes with her? $10M a year gone? And that's not even factoring in property taxes or sales taxes, etc, etc.
2nd, this is ONLY state tax we're talking about... so, that's not considering the 35% she paid in federal taxes. That is 16% higher than the average Californian.
1st, using percentages is deceptive. We don't spend money by the percentage, we don't make money by the percentage. Should we buy gifts with percentages? You buy your rich friend a $20 Christmas gift and they buy you a $5,000 gift? Should a gallon of milk cost Nancy Pelosi $700 because she's worth $35M and that same gallon of milk costs me 0.002% of MY net worth? God asks for 10% from everybody, why should gov't demand more? Money has numbers on it for a reason.
@Jarvls because she's a hated figure, so by using someone like her it helps their propaganda campaign against those that create jobs, stimulate the economy, and a responsible for virtually all tax revenue and charity donations
nunca pero nunca los ricos van a pagar mas impuestos, la razon: el sistema socio economico es diseñado por ellos, lo que debemos cambiar es la división en clases de la sociedad
I dont even make 15,000 a year, but i wouldn't bitch so much if the raised my taxes 5% just because i don't need it and i'm not starving, as long is it goes to someone or something that really needs it !
Whether you like Kim, or whether you hate Kim, she is an incredibly charitable celebrity. She has stated that she gives 10% of her annual earnings to local churches and charities that she supports. That's 1.2 million dollars in 2010! I actually agree with some of the points made by the video, however, credit should be given where it's due. And let's be honest, if we had the opportunity to make 12 million dollars in one year, who wouldn't?
I cant beleive she pays as much Tax as we do and she make's that much...We lost all our heating and insluation in a flood in Sept the gave us 4000 to repair it we couldnt afford someone to do it that was just in material....Now we cant pay our taxes and are facing forclosure ...Whats fair about that my husband makes 48k a year and we pay the same as her???
@giantsfan562001 What's fair about it is that she pays more than $1 MILLION MORE in taxes than you do!!! That's what's fair!!! Why should she pay any more??
What you should do is bitch at our stupid governor!!! Because your hubby makes $48k, he is taxed at the HIGHEST rate for that income level in the ENTIRE COUNTRY!!!! 9.3% taxation on those making $47k or more per year is the HIGHEST!!!
I absolutely LOVE how people defend her!! As if when they fell on hard times, they could just call up Kim Kardashian and she'd lend them some money and help them out. LoL
@liljuve13, I couldn't agree with you more. Her fame is based on what should be her shame. If it were up to me, she would be on her hands& knees cleaning up dog piss. Fuck that bitch and the monkey she rode in on.............
@makisov I would hardly equate "force" with raising taxes on celebrities. Now if someone came in with guns that would be another situation but to say she is "forced" who give the impression she is a victim. Sorry but millionaires are far from victims in my book. Especially millionaires who made their money based on image rather than through their labor
@annateehee I was not arguing against the tax, I was pointing out the fallacy of this video. If your logic is bad, you'll have a hard time arguing your point.
I live in New Hampshire - I couldn't care less about what you guys do. If we had this tax I'd be disappointing though; but then again, we don't even have an income tax.
@collusionrom Not only does your state not have an income tax, but your state hasn't been run by the DemoCRAPs for the last 25 years!! No wonder why your state is in much better condition than our state of California.
@TatoPiggy the definition of "Fair" is in accordance with the rules or standards. If the standards or rules suggest that people with a higher income should pay a higher percentage of their wealth or income than yes it is fair
Your video is comparing apples with oranges to try and justify a claim. You show the amount of money she makes in $ vs what other people make in $. You also show what she pays in a % against what other people pay in terms of %.
If you want to do this correctly, you need to show graphically what both people pay in taxes in terms of $ as opposed to % ( $1,236,000 vs $4,371) or change the 20 second mark to show that they're each making 100% and not $. This way you're comparing $ to $ or % to %.
@collusionrom Yes, but she obviously can afford to pay since she has so much more money! Paying about a million dollars is NOTHING to her, I can assure you. However a family making 47k, paying 4k is a huge blow to middle income earner. Moreover, middle income folks spend a bigger portion of their income on basic necessities like food and housing as compared to rich people like Kim Kardashian. Surely she can afford to pay a little more tax to help the needy out.
Instead of setting the budget according to how much revenue the state will make from taxes, Sacramento spends and spends...and when the buffoons in Sacramento run out of money and finally realize that they have a problem, they say "we need MORE money!"...even while California has some of the highest tax rates in the country. Perhaps the state is spending too much to begin with. Yet in the midst of all this, they still managed to pull $65 million out of their assholes to fund the CA Dream Act...
these celebs, actors. athletes should not even be payed that much its nonsense, who should be payed more are teachers, doctors, nurses, people who have gone to school and worked their asses off -___- but what can you do people are stupid enough in to watching and purchasing all their nonsense...
The U.S. government spending 6.300 dollars every second was in Iraq that if a theft from the American people's taxes Total cost of the war in Iraq two billion dollars. Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel laureate in economics.
Dear useful idiots and halfwits.... she's pays over 1 million in taxes at 10.3% while we're paying about 5k. This video is not only misleading it's fucking stupid! Eat the rich morons it's still not enough to pay for your crack, pot and video games. By the way, it's because of you pee brained half wit dimwits that she even makes that much money. You all worship her why?!?! Because she's got big boobies?!?! She deserves every damn penny! This is the stuff that pisses me off!
You people are so misguided on this that it's funny!!!!
Kim pays over $1 million in taxes, she pay PLENTY!!!
What you should be bitching about is how someone making $47k a year is taxed at the HIGHEST rate in the country!!!! 9.3% for some one making $47k is the highest!!!
@2000Betelgeuse Why do millionaires need to pay more? Just because they make more? What is their "fair share" anyway? Do they use more services or benefit more from being taxed at a higher rate? At the federal level, the top 5% pay over 1/2 of all collected income tax revenues, while the bottom 40+% pay nothing...is that fair? Maybe we should cut spending and entitlements (you know, the things that got CA into such a deep hole?). Maybe we should fix the illegal immigration problem too.
Also, I think the American people made her fmaous, and unfortunately she "earned"whatever money she got. If she wants to donate more she can, but the American people should not be FORCED to pay more just because they earn more. That's ridiculous. The best thing for the economy is low regulation, and more jobs. More tax payers = a good economy. The rich can't carry everything.
I could care less about Kim K, but you can't forget she buys expensive things like cars, clothes, jewelry, etc. all through the year and pays taxes on them. (For example the $75,000 earrings she had a major diva moment about) Instead of raising taxes on the rich we should lower taxes for the lower income citizens. The government doesn't need more money -- they just need to spend it more wisely.
@fascinatingx37 Would CA notice if she moved to TX and the state lost over $1M from her alone? Consider her family's income, her property taxes, at least $1M in sales taxes every year; the state would lose $20M a year, EASY. You think they'd miss it? Do you think the 100's of people she employs would miss their jobs if she closed up shop and gave us all the finger? Do you think the 100's of people that got rich because she endorsed their product could have done it without her?
@slickydotnet She wouldn't move, her work is LA. So are most people who have such a great income to be a part of the states' millionare tax payers. But even if they just raised it a percent or two, that would make a HUGE difference in the states income. So many people put so much money into things that these people make/endorse, and that is where all the money is going. To those employees, and to people like Kim. So if they could pay back an ammount of money that they can clearly afford,awesome.
I think someone grossly misunderstood my post. I mean just like the money Kim makes is HER money, the money that working Americans make is THEIR own money too. We make money, it's our money. She makes money, it's her money.
So why should our money be taken and not hers? THAT is what I mean.
@jon609 You lazy worthless whiner! I despise Kim and everything she stands for. But it's people like you who watch her show and buy her products that made her rich and now you want her to pay more? She earned it! She paid her 10% California tax just like everyone else! She paid her 30% Federal tax just like everyone else. You're jealous and lazy! I make $50K a year and pay the same percentage as everyone else. That's FAIR! My 10% is $5K, her 10% is $1.2 MILLION!!! That's FAIR
Even you douche bags can do simple math, 10% of 12 million vs. 9% of 50,000. Who's not paying their fare share? Plus Kim employs many people and pays sales tax on the millions she spends throughout the year. What a bunch of lazy freeloading worthless bums you all are.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TAX CODE IN OUR COUNTRY ONLY BENEFITS THE RICH AND POWERFUL WITH SO MANY LOOPHOLES AND WAYS TO "LEGALLY" CHEAT OUT OF PAYING TAXES WHILE THE REST OF US ARE PUT INSIDE A TAX BRACKET AND HAVE NO SAYING IN IT. I THINK WE SHOULD ALL PAY A PERCENTAGE OF WHATEVER WE MAKE, ***NO EXCEPTIONS***
she's the perfect symbolic pinata to get attention to and whack some common sense into whats wrong with the tax code... becoming the poster girl for "her" vs. "us" is her best, and only, role...
Fair? That would mean our percentage will increase bc we'd have to find a median somewhere.. Obviously we are not happy that they're paying so little so if ur talking about fair ur basically saying we should pay more to maintain a level of fairness amongst all? The way I see it, I wish I had her money.. I do.. But, I don't and that's fine :] At the end of the day no one is really happy! Lol
People like to say "but it's her money!" What about the people that work hard everyday? Is that not also their money? I think everyone should pay a fair percentage. It should be you pay X amount/percentage of what you make. You can't just let rich people keep fattening their wallets and try to wring money out of people who don't have it.
Kim Kardashian shouldn't be the poster child for the Courage Campaign. If anything, it should be those greedy corporate CEO's that get massive payouts for retirement.
@Megara No it's NOT their money!! It's Kim's money!!! She made it, she earned it!!
She can do with it what she wants!! Let's not forget the FACT that she paid $1.2 MILLION in taxes!!!!! She DOES pay her "fair share"....it's the lazy assholes who want to take more of it because of their jealousy!!!!!
@nextdrink45 i honestly could not agree with you more . thank god i finally found someone with logic. I'm sick and tired of hearing from these envious, pathetic, less-successful dumbasses .
@nextdrink45 Making a sex tape to kickstart a career (in what though? what does she do?) and then faking a marriage to make $18 million doesn't mean she earned anything. So she earned around $30 million in 2011. I think the rich should be taxed more throughout the nation and not just there.
@KingofZona But why should the "rich" be taxed more?? Just because they "can afford it"?? Or is it just lazy assholes don't want to work for a living, instead living off the government??
The "rich" already pay their "fair share". It's the government that spends too much!! What you should be bitching about is why a person making $47k is taxed a 9.3%!!! That's the HIGHEST rate for that income in the country!!!! Bitch at government, NOT the rich!!!
@nextdrink45 I agree with you that the government spends way too much and they don't exactly spend it where they should. I disagree, however, to call working-class people "lazy" and assume that everyone who isn't Kim is living off the government.
@Megara Well I just get sick and tired of people constantly crying about more taxes in this state. Tax the rich, tax the smokers, tax the drinkers, etc, etc. They come off as people who want all these government programs, but want someone else to pay for them.
We ALREADY pay the HIGHEST TAXES in the country in a lot of catagories, why should we, or the rich pay even more?! I think the energy is misdirected. It should be directed at our government!
@nextdrink45 You see the financial shape this state is in. This is a prime example of what happens when any one state is run by any one party for entirely too long!! This state has been run by the DemoCRAPs in the Legislature for the last 25 years and you see what it's gotten us!!
Jerry Brown is willing to cut from EVERYBODY, except his unions buddies, and the ILLEGAL ALIENS!! Matter of fact he just signed off on giving $65 million to ILLEGALS instead of the LEGALS who need it!!!
@nextdrink45 We are lacking tax money for schools, underpaid teachers, hospitals, the police, etc etc (not just government assistance) and instead of redirecting where our money goes, they're desperately trying to see where else they can wring money from. And that's where Kim comes in. "Why don't we tax people like HER!? They're blowing all their money anyway!!" Trouble is, you can't tell people how to spend the money they earn. I agree with you that this is a gov prob. Not Kim's
@Megara The spending on teachers is a whole other issue IMHO. And even though she may be "blowing" her money anyways, it helps our economy as a whole. She buys more things, more groceries, more expensive items, etc, etc. that helps our economy.
I just think that people are very jealous of her fame, (no matter how she got it) and want to try to bring her down. She could move to Nevada and "blow" all her money there. How would that help our state? It wouldn't! Government is the prob!
Courage Campaign launched a cheap ad campaign and USED Kim K.Shame on them.I'm not a K fan but I hate injustice.Everyone screaming about her money is frikkin jealous.Period! She earns that money and pays what she legally owes When the laws change, she'll pay more.Why use her as their poster girl? They're taking advantage of the current negative trend and trying to cash in on it.These people are using "YOU", they want you to donate and they're ho
Education and Critical Services? If the government didn't spend all their money on national defense for a war that is completely unnecessary, the maybe they can actually pay for education and critical services.

I agree with you. The government has no right to tax the fruits of our labor. As long as the company is making money through legitimate capitalistic means and not through government welfare (TARP bailouts), they shouldn't be taxed at all. Too bad these progressive liberal douche bags don't realize this and group all rich people in the same category. Now they want to tax rich people, which is just a bad temporary solution to fund low quality monopoly education? Fucking bullshit

And she ain't riding subsidized transportation, collecting food stamps, or going to public schools, so she really doesn't get what she pays for. She'd subsidized other Californians.

If Kim Kardashian had a tax rate of 16% on her income of $12,000,000 she would have paid $1,920,000 in federal income tax. She would also pay state income tax on top of this. Kim Kardashian paid 272 times more in federal income tax than the taxpayer who made $47,000 (1,920,000/7050=272)!Kim Kardashian paid over $2,000,000 in income tax in 2010.Way tobelieve anything.

@SheyaSite do you know why this bunch of hacks used $47k as their number? Because the 9.3% marginal rate only kicks in for anything over $46,766. So they actually pay 9.3% on $3,234. The rest gets taxed at a lower rate, some of it much lower.
My guess is that "Courage" Campaign isn't even intelligent enough to understand this, itself.

If you want to do this correctly, you need to show graphically what both people pay in taxes in terms of $ as opposed to % ( $1,236,000 vs $4,371) or change the 20 second mark to show that they're each making 100% and not $. This way you're comparing $ to $ or % to %.

@collusionrom Yes, but she obviously can afford to pay since she has so much more money! Paying about a million dollars is NOTHING to her, I can assure you. However a family making 47k, paying 4k is a huge blow to middle income earner. Moreover, middle income folks spend a bigger portion of their income on basic necessities like food and housing as compared to rich people like Kim Kardashian. Surely she can afford to pay a little more tax to help the needy out.

Dear useful idiots and halfwits.... she's pays over 1 million in taxes at 10.3% while we're paying about 5k. This video is not only misleading it's fucking stupid! Eat the rich morons it's still not enough to pay for your crack, pot and video games. By the way, it's because of you pee brained half wit dimwits that she even makes that much money. You all worship her why?!?! Because she's got big boobies?!?! She deserves every damn penny! This is the stuff that pisses me off!

Kim pays over $1 million in taxes, she pay PLENTY!!!
What you should be bitching about is how someone making $47k a year is taxed at the HIGHEST rate in the country!!!! 9.3% for some one making $47k is the highest!!!

@2000Betelgeuse Why do millionaires need to pay more? Just because they make more? What is their "fair share" anyway? Do they use more services or benefit more from being taxed at a higher rate? At the federal level, the top 5% pay over 1/2 of all collected income tax revenues, while the bottom 40+% pay nothing...is that fair? Maybe we should cut spending and entitlements (you know, the things that got CA into such a deep hole?). Maybe we should fix the illegal immigration problem too.

What song was used in this video?
Also, I think the American people made her fmaous, and unfortunately she "earned"whatever money she got. If she wants to donate more she can, but the American people should not be FORCED to pay more just because they earn more. That's ridiculous. The best thing for the economy is low regulation, and more jobs. More tax payers = a good economy. The rich can't carry everything.

I could care less about Kim K, but you can't forget she buys expensive things like cars, clothes, jewelry, etc. all through the year and pays taxes on them. (For example the $75,000 earrings she had a major diva moment about) Instead of raising taxes on the rich we should lower taxes for the lower income citizens. The government doesn't need more money -- they just need to spend it more wisely.

They are only looking to raise millionaires' taxes by 5 or 6 percent. I don't even think Kim would notice it was gone.

@fascinatingx37 Would CA notice if she moved to TX and the state lost over $1M from her alone? Consider her family's income, her property taxes, at least $1M in sales taxes every year; the state would lose $20M a year, EASY. You think they'd miss it? Do you think the 100's of people she employs would miss their jobs if she closed up shop and gave us all the finger? Do you think the 100's of people that got rich because she endorsed their product could have done it without her?

@slickydotnet She wouldn't move, her work is LA. So are most people who have such a great income to be a part of the states' millionare tax payers. But even if they just raised it a percent or two, that would make a HUGE difference in the states income. So many people put so much money into things that these people make/endorse, and that is where all the money is going. To those employees, and to people like Kim. So if they could pay back an ammount of money that they can clearly afford,awesome.

I think someone grossly misunderstood my post. I mean just like the money Kim makes is HER money, the money that working Americans make is THEIR own money too. We make money, it's our money. She makes money, it's her money.
So why should our money be taken and not hers? THAT is what I mean.

@jon609 You lazy worthless whiner! I despise Kim and everything she stands for. But it's people like you who watch her show and buy her products that made her rich and now you want her to pay more? She earned it! She paid her 10% California tax just like everyone else! She paid her 30% Federal tax just like everyone else. You're jealous and lazy! I make $50K a year and pay the same percentage as everyone else. That's FAIR! My 10% is $5K, her 10% is $1.2 MILLION!!! That's FAIR

Even you douche bags can do simple math, 10% of 12 million vs. 9% of 50,000. Who's not paying their fare share? Plus Kim employs many people and pays sales tax on the millions she spends throughout the year. What a bunch of lazy freeloading worthless bums you all are.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TAX CODE IN OUR COUNTRY ONLY BENEFITS THE RICH AND POWERFUL WITH SO MANY LOOPHOLES AND WAYS TO "LEGALLY" CHEAT OUT OF PAYING TAXES WHILE THE REST OF US ARE PUT INSIDE A TAX BRACKET AND HAVE NO SAYING IN IT. I THINK WE SHOULD ALL PAY A PERCENTAGE OF WHATEVER WE MAKE, ***NO EXCEPTIONS***

Fair? That would mean our percentage will increase bc we'd have to find a median somewhere.. Obviously we are not happy that they're paying so little so if ur talking about fair ur basically saying we should pay more to maintain a level of fairness amongst all? The way I see it, I wish I had her money.. I do.. But, I don't and that's fine :] At the end of the day no one is really happy! Lol

People like to say "but it's her money!" What about the people that work hard everyday? Is that not also their money? I think everyone should pay a fair percentage. It should be you pay X amount/percentage of what you make. You can't just let rich people keep fattening their wallets and try to wring money out of people who don't have it.

@nextdrink45 Making a sex tape to kickstart a career (in what though? what does she do?) and then faking a marriage to make $18 million doesn't mean she earned anything. So she earned around $30 million in 2011. I think the rich should be taxed more throughout the nation and not just there.

@KingofZona But why should the "rich" be taxed more?? Just because they "can afford it"?? Or is it just lazy assholes don't want to work for a living, instead living off the government??
The "rich" already pay their "fair share". It's the government that spends too much!! What you should be bitching about is why a person making $47k is taxed a 9.3%!!! That's the HIGHEST rate for that income in the country!!!! Bitch at government, NOT the rich!!!

@nextdrink45 I agree with you that the government spends way too much and they don't exactly spend it where they should. I disagree, however, to call working-class people "lazy" and assume that everyone who isn't Kim is living off the government.

@Megara Well I just get sick and tired of people constantly crying about more taxes in this state. Tax the rich, tax the smokers, tax the drinkers, etc, etc. They come off as people who want all these government programs, but want someone else to pay for them.
We ALREADY pay the HIGHEST TAXES in the country in a lot of catagories, why should we, or the rich pay even more?! I think the energy is misdirected. It should be directed at our government!

@nextdrink45 We are lacking tax money for schools, underpaid teachers, hospitals, the police, etc etc (not just government assistance) and instead of redirecting where our money goes, they're desperately trying to see where else they can wring money from. And that's where Kim comes in. "Why don't we tax people like HER!? They're blowing all their money anyway!!" Trouble is, you can't tell people how to spend the money they earn. I agree with you that this is a gov prob. Not Kim's
Megara 2 months ago
@Megara The spending on teachers is a whole other issue IMHO. And even though she may be "blowing" her money anyways, it helps our economy as a whole. She buys more things, more groceries, more expensive items, etc, etc. that helps our economy.
I just think that people are very jealous of her fame, (no matter how she got it) and want to try to bring her down. She could move to Nevada and "blow" all her money there. How would that help our state? It wouldn't! Government is the prob!

They're taking advantage of the current negative trend and trying to cash in on it.These people are using "YOU", they want you to donate and they're ho
