does CRST really do this? or am I reading too deep into something

Ok, so you think taxing someone who makes $40,000,00 at 30% is taxing them to death but taxing someone who makes $56,000 at 30% is reasonable? The millionaire is left with $28,000,00 and the blue-collar worker is left with $39,200.

Who is being taxed to death?

 

No income tax, but national sales tax and import tax.

 

Wow, did this thread go off topic. Anyone care to wager when this thread is locked?

 

Several other crappy companies do this. The largest one is Swift.

 

You are very much correct, unfortunately.

 

They can only do that if they have a "J B Hunt" endorsement on the back on their CDL.

 

A millionaire paying 30%, is paying more (you know, their fare share) than the worker who makes 56K.

 

Yes, the millionaire would pay more. Perhaps your definition of fair is different from mine...in my opinion fair=equal. If 30% is too much for someone who makes $40,000,000, then please do explain how it is acceptable for someone who makes $56,000.

 

I know this may be difficult to comprehend for some, but 30% is 30% is 30%. If everyone paid 30%, how is that not fair? Just because Warren Buffet made 100 million and kept 70 million, that's no different than Joe Blow making 50000 and paying 15000. But because Mr Buffet still has 70 million, those with 35000 feel he needs to pay more......I say screw that! Where's the incentive to strive to better yourself?
