@FletchforFreedom "If the statutory rate is 100% and the effective rate is 5% due to deductions, etc., ALL that matters is that the NEXT DOLLAR is taxed at 100%."

Which means that ONLY the dollar in that new bracket would be affected, and you know that. You are completely ignoring the income in ...

  @utubehayter Your talking about Fed tax alone, right? You would need to make over $174,000 a year before you reached that point, and even then only the money you made over $174,000 would be taxed at that rate. So your effective rate would be closer to 24% or $43,000. This leaves you with $131,000...

  @shanedk/FletchforFreedom I stand corrected on that point (and that point alone). The Clinton surplus only counted the money saved under the public debt and not the increased self borrowing from Intra-gov holdings. Therefore it could not truly be counted as a surplus. I concede you that point.

  @comms35 The principle is the same even with a "first hand account". The brain is a biochemical machine and can sincerely believe anything it wants. But when we don't even know for sure if there were any apostles at all, much less if they died for their testament, it really becomes a moot point.
