For fuck's sake, read the propublica article that starts to detail how the Uber-rich avoid paying their fair share of taxes. Our definition of "income" is outdated and improper with the current slate of billionaires.

https://www.propublica.org/article/the-secret-irs-files-trove-of-never-before-seen-records-reveal-how-the-wealthiest-avoid-income-tax#1071196

Oh so they showed they paid around that level over a 5 year period? That's good that they confirmed the IRS data of a mid 20% rate.

I was pointing out that the top 1% don't pay anywhere close to what the lower class pays,

IRS data shows the top 1% paid an effective federal income tax rate of about 25%.

The lower class had an effective federal income tax rate of about 3%.

Because that is pretty much irrelevant if you're already vaccinated?

uwa ej posted...
When vax rates by are higher and case counts are down such that community spread is unlikely, THEN we can talk about dropping restrictions. Until then, it's too soon.

Cases have been dropping weekly since the CDC changed its guidance. Unvaccinated people are infecting other unvaccinated people. If you're vaccinated you are already protected. You made a topic yesterday showing the rate of death for vaccinated people in Maine was .001%.

The Group of Seven leading rich countries agreed to back new rules for taxing businesses that operate internationally in a significant step toward a global agreement that would deliver the minimum rate sought by the Biden administration.

The agreement, reached by treasury chiefs during a meeting in London on Saturday, resolves long-running tensions between the U.S. and large European economies that have at times threatened to push the international tax system into chaos and spark a trans-Atlantic trade conflict.

Under the deal, G-7 members will back a global minimum tax rate on company profits and a new way of sharing the revenues from taxing the worlds largest and most profitable companies.

The G-7, which includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S., agreed that businesses should pay a minimum tax rate of at least 15%.

G-7 finance ministers have reached an historic agreement to reform the global tax system, said Rishi Sunak, the U.K.s treasury chief.

Because cases are not at levels that won't result in community spread and there are multiple variants of concerns in the US....? A simple search on shows that.

And the vaccines are effective against all of the current variants in the US. So why would vaccinated people be concerned? The vaccine has been tremendously effective. If you have it the chances of getting covid are a fraction of a percent and the odds of spreading it if you somehow get it are even less.

GregShmedley posted...
Isreal has a population of 9m and 60% is fully vaccinated, and rising. America has a population of 325m with only 50% fully vaccinated and the count is starting to plateau.

And over 61% of people have at least one dose, and even more have natural resistance from previously having covid. And after easing restrictions cases have continued to fall.

Based on all the evidence, if you're fully vaccinated you have nothing to worry about from going around without a mask. It's literally why you got vaccinated. You're just fear mongering and making up your own numbers we should hit as a internet scientist instead of listening to the experts who have researched covid for over a year.

- case counts are down such that community spread is unlikely
- there are no potentially vaccine escaping variants of concern in the community

We are already meeting 2 and 3. Change 1 to a reasonable level, like the levels we are at since cases have continued to fall, and Israel showed this level of vaccination allows for reopening with no case surge, and then I agree we should open up.
