The profits from certain non-inventory assets are subject to a capital gains tax. The difference between the purchase price and the selling price of an asset is called a gain. Taxable gains include stocks, bonds, precious metals, and property. Capital gains taxes vary by region, and tax rates are different for businesses and consumers.

Capital gains are usually taxed at different rates, depending on how long the assets were held in ownership. When an asset is held for a longer time, the rate is lower. If the same assets were sold before the period prescribed by law, the rates would be relatively higher. The current laws and the changes that the government brings about in the laws for economic stimulus determine the rates and the rate of tax charged. For the sale of an asset to be taxed as a long-term gain, it must be held for one year before being sold. If the asset is sold before one year is up, the gains are charged at normal income tax rates.

A preferential rate is charged for capital gains over personal or corporate income. The incentive of capital gain is intended for those investors who make capital investments for the growth of the economy. Capital gains also help fund entrepreneurs in their activities to create jobs in small businesses. The tax rates charged vary depending on their tax bracket and the time period for which investment was held before it was sold.
Sometimes, rates will change automatically depending on legislation and reductions. To extend these lower rates for any period of time longer than negotiated, a particular tax bill requires an amendment and vote in Congress again as well as a signature from the President. Each year, this tax legislation issue is under debate.

There are some provisions under certain considerations for delaying capital gains taxes. The IRS allows deferments and tax planning strategies that include the structured sale (ensured installment sale), charitable trust (CRT), installment sale, private annuity trust, and 1031 exchange.

we all just watch Fox News or CNN or MSNBC or read the Washington Times or the Huffington Post or the New York Times but we don't actually KNOW anything. All we have is regurgitated 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th hand information, and that's what I've been seeing ALL DAY on this forum, and THAT is why I've been trolling like nobody's business today in the Off-Topic political threads.

im guessing here, but from what i sort of understand, it is mostly in stocks and such. so if 6x bought a stock for one dollar, and ten years later that stock is worth 1000 dollars and she sold it, her capital gain would be $999. a capital gains TAx would be a tax on that income.

ok, let's just say that's correct. The next question: is this a good thing or a bad thing? And why?

is it (it being the tax) a good or bad thing? If you think income earned by sitting on your ass deserves to be taxed at a lower rate then tax earned by the sweat of your brow...it's great.

By the way a capital loss comes off your income, so where as if you make money you are taxed at 15% if you loose money the tax payer pays up to 35% of your loss.

ok now pay attention you attack dog idiot. Just because you are unaware of something doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Captal Gains and capital losses are reported on your income taxes. Gains are taxed at the max rate of 15%. Losses come off your income..therefore a $100 loss is offset by up to $35 in taxes that would have otherwise been paid. The fact that you didnt recieve a check doesnt mean your taxes werent reduced.

I have a homework assignment for you this weekend.

Research the difference between static and dynamic economic scoring. Static analysis in respect to revenue receipts is the most commonly made mistake in economics.

We must decrease taxes to stimulate job growth. more Jobs = more tax payers in the private sector. Anyone on unemployment, welfare, or public sector employees are a static drag on the economy. That is they are producing nothing.

When you let "the rich" keep more of their money they invest, expand their companies, buy stuff, hire people, save, whatever they don't put it in a mattress.

not sure what you consider middle class but currently a family of four earning almost 50K pays very little if any federal income tax.

Lets get it straight. The rich create very little wealth. The working stiffs in this country create wealth. The rich collect wealth and manage it. It is the working stiffs who will spend this country out of recession, not the rich. It is the working stiffs who create jobs. The last thing a business owner wants to do is create a new job.

I see we have the same conservative garbage, just on a different thread.

The problem with the above right wing analysis is that it is based on a variety of assumptions not all of which are correct. The idea that "The rich" will invest, expand their companies, buy stuff, hire people and invest their funds is based on the assumption that there exists an adequate supply of consumers who are both willing and financially able to purchase the goods or services produced or to use the credit or investment funds. If the supply of financially sound consumers decreases so that there is an inadequate pool of consumers who can afford to consume the goods, services, credit and capital currently offered it makes little sense to increase the amount of those goods, services, credit and capital available. Doing so would only serve to drive down even further the per unit rate of return to the suppliers of those items. Increasing the pool of financially sound consumers OTOH would serve to increase the demand for goods, services, credit and capital that is already available on the market, driving up the rates of return for those items to the point that additional funds would be make available.

So is the problem with America today, or for that matter the past ten years, that there is an inadquate supply of rich folks willing to invest to supply goods, services, credit and capital? Or is the problem that there is an inadequate supply of financially sound consumers for those items? The former president and I could easily agree that this nation has adopted a series of financial, monetary, trade and tax policies that have severely harmed the economic health of the country, but since we do not agree on the above question our solutions will be radically different.

One problem with the way a large portion of the stimulus money was handled was that it ended up being the equivalent of sticking money in rich people's mattresses. For example bail out funds lent to banks were not reinvested by those banks as loans in the community, but instead were kept within the institutions to enhance their balance sheets, and in many cases their stock prices. Likewise I don't agree that people on unemployment produce nothing. Many are active in other aspects of the community besides work, and continue to participate in those aspects of the community. In addition they continue to consume goods and services which allows other businesses in the community to stay in business. I'll have to take RR at his word that there are still places in this country where a family of 4 with a family income of $50k are, as a rule, middle class, and as I've stated on previous threads there are problems with the bottom end of the tax code as well as the top.

The easiest one would be the capital gains and qualified dividends rate. Although many liberals cite the high end of this provision as an example of tax favoritism towards the wealthy, it does have a low income component as well. What is the sense of permitting anyone who has positive taxable income (which you will remember already reflects deductions for personal exemptions and either the standard or itemized deductions) to pay $0 in tax, when a person with the same level of income who got it from working, from interest or from receiving alimony has to pay taxes on it?

"Capitol" gains tax I guess is what happens when a contractor builds the building a foot too high and that drives up the cost, and the taxpayer foots the bill.

"Capital" gains tax has to do with taxes on the sale of an asset for a profit.

Hard to answer the question when the douchebag demanding answers can't spell the term correctly (assuming the dolt was asking about capital gains and not about a building).

I know the words rhyme, but that doesn't make them the same word.

Alias-Those numbers don't quite tell the whole story. What percentage of the nation's income did that top 1% end up with after adjusting for Federal and state taxes? The natural response to this question by most conservatives is "irrelevant". However if we had one rate that was applied to all income from the first dollar you would still see that the top 1% and 5% of wage earners would pay a very high percentage of the total income taxes. This disparity is a reflection of the relative differences in income between the high end and everyone else.

The second problem with the current tax code is that it has strong biases in favor of capital as opposed to labor based income, and this is true even if we ignore the differences in capital gains and ordinary income tax rates and the application of social security and (for a couple more years) medicare taxes. Example #1-I have a kid in college costing a fair amount of tuition, books, supplies, for which I get a very modest tax credit, and when he gets into the workplace he will get no writedown on his taxes for the cost of that education. If instead I bought this kid a house with that money, when he went to sell it the kid would get to offset the sales price by that initial investment resulting in a much greater tax savings. Example #2-An employee who needs a car to get to and from work and who needs suits for his job does not get to write off the cost of the car, gas, repairs and maintenance, tolls, parking and clothing costs against his taxable income, but expenses that the business incurs for the production of its income are deductible. Now you could certainly argue that things like the personal exemption, standard deduction and lower tax rates for lower end taxpayers are intended to compensate for these biases (ignoring certain problems with that argument), but then you cannot complain when these same factors result in lower income taxpayers paying lesser portions of their income.

justsayin', go fuck your mother.











I personally like it when the rich complain about their taxes making them very slightly less rich. That doesn't bother me at all. Never get tired of hearing it.

I once met a divorced mother of 2 who drives a tow-truck for a living, and boy is she living high on the hog. The money is just trickling down into her pockets like nobody's business, I tell ya, boy. I don't know much about the tax code and all your fancy book-learnin', but when you see the wealth all around you, boy, it doesn't matter. Livin' the dream.

I always love these statistics that show how much the rich are paying in income taxes as compared to the rest of us. Again, as a percantage of what they pay in income and payroll taxes, they pay less a percentage then a person making less then $100k per year! The fact the rich pay so much despite that fact is because the richest 1% make as much money as the rest of us put together. There is a tremendous disparity in wealth in this country. Some South American countries have better wealth distribution.

The one rate would cover all the costs associated with all the govt programs
and some to pay down the debt. In the rate would be Social Security, Medicare, Medicare. The only deduction would be for those living below the poverty line. It would cover all businesses.

Touche Alias. Reasonable questions fairly posed. Prepared to be bored.

I've tried several single rate models and frankly I can't get them to work. The problem is how we fund social security and medicare. For example if you set up a system that allows taxpayers a credit for these taxes, it results in individuals with low incomes from nonwage sources paying a rather high income tax rate. If you deal with that issue by allowing rather large personal exemptions you end up with too large a number of taxpayers paying no income taxes at all. If you ignore FICA entirely then lower income taxpayers end up paying at higher rates than higher income taxpayers. For this reason I favor a system with three rate tiers and some reasonable personal exemptions. In my defense even Reagan had two tiers in his 1986 tax system.

Deductions. There is a hydra. Allow too many and you end up having to raise rates to offset the revenue loss. Allow too few and you end up imposing large tax bills on people who have few resources to pay those bills, not to mention losing ability to stimulate certain economic activities. The best solution I've come up with so far is would be an opt in system with higher tax rates but with more deductions allowed, and probably also a floor rate beyond which taxes couldn't fall. The best way to explain it would be to imagine that if you elected to claim itemized deductions rather than the standard deduction your income tax rates went up.

Another feature would be that most tax credits would be treated as expenditures for budget purposes requiring annual approval by Congress.

This is a gross simplification. and by now you are probably saying that I'm trying to weasel out of stating rates. Fair enough, but at this point in my life I no longer have ready access to the kind of information needed to determine what the rates would need to be and at what income levels in order to produce sufficient income. I will say this much: In the absence of abnormal circumstances I would want the top rate for nonitemizers to be not more than 35-40%, depending on how social security and medicare taxes are dealt with. OTOH going to war in Iraq and Afghanistan is precisely the type of abnormal situation that would not only justify but would mandate a higher rate.

I think you underestimate the revenue that would be produced by:

1. eliminating the Social Security, Medicade, Medicair caps
2. Having everyone, incuding retirees taxes pay for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.

I asked for a simple, succinct answer to a simple, straight-forward question. Did I get it? No. I got a lot of political jibba-jabba, legaleze, bickering, yelling, and name-calling. EXACTLY what I knew I'd get. The American way.


Point proven.



I win.


America loses.
