Trump vowed to keep
Socialism for the Wealthy
“We renew our
resolve that America will never be a socialist country," Trump said in
his State of the Union address. But we already are a socialist
country … for the wealthy. How else can we explain thousands
of corporations and individuals
that pay no tax and receive $ billions in subsidies? More
than 60% of investors with $25 million or more are investing overseas, Spectrem
found. What is their motivation? Tax
shelters act as money black holes. America’s
system of subsidies is complicated and long lasting. Since the beginning,
some people and their companies have received help from a Congress whose
members are mostly millionaires. In fact, Congress people are the only
Americans who can legally
make money on ‘insider information.’ Farmers and corporate
farms continue to get rich even though the reason for subsidies ended 100
years ago. Some wealthy Americans have not paid their fair share of tax because
they have their lobbyists
help Congress make the rules. The
current president and his son Jared
are specific examples. One of the traits of a socialist society is that the elites get
richer as the workers get less over time. Americans think that if
you can get away with not paying your fair share of taxes you must be
smart. We are in love with the American form of socialism that rewards
the elites and socializes their failures. Our tax money bailed out all the big
banks and companies that made bad decisions in 2006-7. Ordinary
tax payers never get free money from this socialist government. Example:
Trump’s business ‘smarts’ ended in bankruptcy 6 times. He is revered for his
deal making, a TV star, and now president. The irony is that the president’s
supporters are the victims of America ’s Socialism for the Rich. Can America survive if the rich get richer and the
poor get poorer?
Trump’s 20% deduction applies ONLY to bigger ‘small’
businesses
Final rules on this huge tax giveaway were issued and only
Trump and his friends qualify for the 20% deduction—profit bump for ‘pass-through’
to match the giveaway to corporations. Many wealthy people hide their assets in
separate entities—LLCs, corporations, partnerships. This is because you only
get the assets (if any) of that entity if you sue because you were harmed by
that entity. For instance, Trump uses over 500
LLCs in his empire. He uses debt
which is deductible. Some use debt as income so they have no income tax. And
if the wealthy structure
their ventures in such a way that each creates losses, they may end up with
a much lower percentage of taxes than the average high income person. Thus a
NYC computer coder earning $180,000 but having only the standard deduction
($12,000) will be paying 32% of income ($57,000) while Jared
Kushner pays 0%: a refund $ -4,000. The net result is that a small real
estate investor (1-3 buildings) gets no break from the 20% deal. Nor can they
take advantage of the new Opportunity
Zones. For instance, an investor who invests $1 million and sees their
investment appreciate to $1.8 million by 2028 would be able to sell at any time
after that without paying federal
income tax on proceeds in excess of $1 million. This benefits large
real estate moguls like Jared
and friends who can skip taxes on projects they would do anyway. Regular
tax payers pay for the infrastructure they use without paying any taxes. You
have a tax-FREE option.

How much tax is due
on money you inherit?
Most of your
inheritance is NOT tax free. The feds and states have different rules. Estate
tax is paid out of the decedent’s assets before any distribution to
beneficiaries. An inheritance tax is a state tax that you pay
when you receive money or property from the estate of a deceased person. Unlike
the federal estate tax,
the beneficiary of the property is responsible for paying the tax, not the
estate. However, as of 2018, only six states impose an inheritance tax. The
six states that impose an inheritance tax include Iowa , Kentucky , Maryland , Nebraska , New
Jersey and Pennsylvania . Some states exempt some family members. Usually life insurance is tax
free unless it was sold to
you or it is really a life annuity. If you're the beneficiary of an
estate or trust that must distribute all of its current income, you must report
your share of the distributable net income, whether or not you actually
received it. If property you receive this way later produces income such as
interest, dividends, or rents, that income is taxable to you. If you inherit
the family home or capital asset like stocks, you owe nothing if sold for the
same value at death. If you inherited a pension or an IRA, you may have to
include part of the inherited amount in your income. See Pub. 575 if you
inherited a pension. See 590-A and 590-B if you inherited an IRA. Essentially,
the IRS wants the tax on any tax deferred income before and after death. The
only exception is money from a Roth IRA.
Avoid TTax $39.99 Refund Processing fee
You don’t need to spend $40 just to receive your refund.
Turbo and other preparers advertise $0
cost filing. But then how does the cost end up over $50? We’ve been had! We
want to receive our refund quickly and we don’t want to pay up front so we go
for the Refund Processing Fee. Just like the quick refund loans of the past, we
are going to pay unconscionable costs for instant gratification. We are misled
by ‘$0 cost’ promise. By the time we finish with Turbo, we
pay $79.98 or more. Each step of our return adds costs we are not informed
about. And another fee to file state return too. I gave up after the first
year. I found really free sites like Tax Hawk and FreeTaxUSA on irs.gov/app/freeFile/. One charges $12.95 for state filing.
I have been using both for 5 years. My
returns require almost all the forms and they still cost $12.95 total.
Actually, you can avoid
the state charge if you file in a state that has its own free site like New Jersey. IRS
issues more than 9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. You can track your
refund using our Where’s My Refund? tool.
BEWARE not all ETFs are worth the cost
ETFs are day-traded index funds. As an index fund, the
manager has settled on the securities. So why do some ETFs charge us over 1%?
Could it be that Wall Street has turned this index fund into another cash cow?
This one is a fund of funds and thus has a lot of mouths to feed. People invest
in BDCs mainly as income plays because they generally pay chunky dividends. In
that vein, the BIZD fund sports a 30-day SEC yield of 9.67 percent. But that
can turn south in a minute and you will be stuck with the high
annual expense charges. Low cost beats high cost every time.
Another way the
wealthy avoid paying their fair share: Put assets on the oceans under tax-free
state registry. Some
yachts carry $ millions in art. The yacht and the art are inside separate
legal entities so that they can avoid personal taxation and legal attachment
from lawsuits. Dems may find it hard to tax wealth if it does not appear under
a person’s name but under a trust. In fact, the wealthy
are laughing at Dems ideas to tax them. Their banks
gained from Trump’s tax cut—tax fell to 19% from (2016) 28%. Wealthy got
more dividends. You can avoid future taxation also by using an IRS-OK account.

Why pay 12% tax on
my 2% interest?
There has to be a
better way: I did my taxes and that includes paying tax on my interest from
various financial institutions. I keep the money liquid because of the phantom
‘emergency’ that never happens. Meanwhile year after year I have to pay tax on
the meager earnings. This year, I found a better way to
never pay taxes again. There is an IRS-approved account that allows me to
earn interest but never pay tax on the earnings. I can open this account
at almost any institution—bank, brokerage, mutual fund, etc. I can take out my
contributions anytime without tax. If I never use it, I can spend all the
earning later without paying
taxes. My family can use this account for any final expenses so I don’t need
life insurance once the kids are grown.
