Should some Oklahomans be exempt from the state's income tax?

[Beautiful Mulberry]

Instead of me answering your last question, here's a video that I find to be interesting and instructing.

Oh come on who has time videos.
Are you a he/him?

Oklahoma has no estate tax and the federal is on estates over about $12 million. So unless you are pretty wealthy, I would not worry about estate taxes.

since when???? i inherited my aunts house 25 years ago and had to pay estate taxs...

I think all of us should be.
Screw those clowns at the capitol.

You literally missed my point. Your hung up in potholes. Let me clarify.
Since statehood. They say it was the greatest, Y?
Sounds like everyone else. Just repeating.
We young ones are dealing with what you, your parents and children left us.

Well, if you want to make a point, I'd suggest not hiding in bad facts.

I don’t think we should have to pay grocery tax, tax on medication, disabled vets that are due to combat injuries, or sales tax in Oklahoma.

As to blame anyone for the current affairs of the US today no one wants to take responsibility for this mess our country is in. At least we know when our country was at its height and when it started slipping down a slippery slope. The 1950’s, was a great time in the US due to a few simple facts like the rest of the world was either under Communism or rebuilding from a thing called WW II, not to mention the US still had a producing society untouched by war. By the late 1960’s, jobs were moving overseas from tools to cars, and let’s not forget electronics. As unions wanted numbers in their ranks they promised, and got, their members more money and incentives. Owners and boards needed to make more money in the 1970’s, to repay the banks and investors so more jobs and business moved over seas. Now, we are a country of service- waiters, entertainment, and such. Now China is taking the world by its short hairs while half of the U.S. pretends the government cares for us and wants the best for us. It is going to be hard to MAGA when we are short of the trained trades from manufacturers, machinists, to all kinds of jobs lost over the last 55 plus years.

Enough history. Some have lived it, others of us have experienced it, and we ALL should have studied it and learned from it.
The Roman satirist Juvenal (late 1st century AD through early 2nd century AD) wrote in Satire X, “ Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt”. How true that rings today, the country isn’t lost yet, but it is near if something isn’t done about it. Hopefully, we can restart after the next elections.

Within the last 20-25 years. The Federal limit has been ratcheting up over the last 20-ish years, too.

It’s not about penalizing success, it’s about making sure that those who are less successful aren’t burdened with a higher tax bill than those able to pay it…. What I pay in taxes as a working man is money that goes mostly towards my basic needs. Clothing, shelter, etc

If you’re spending money on a private jet then you can afford to pay a tax on that

Then you don't understand how tax code works. People don't buy planes, companies do. It's a write off to "lend" it to your employees. But the bigger issue is you should stop worrying about what everyone else pays and do your part to pay as little as possible.

So the disabled who get .gov assistance shouldn't be asked to pay taxes? Then cut the assistance. That's a two way street. Nobody forced them to sign that line. They volunteered.

When you're dead.

Nope. Gotta worry about estate taxes, too.

 

[Millerman]

Or the state legislature pass a bill doing away with state income tax.

I pay state income tax
property tax on property I paid taxes on when I bought it.
Sales tax
Internet tax, order a item online, sales tax
extra taxes on my phone and cable bill, universal taxes, gotta fund those free phones you know.
yearly tag renewal for vehicles.

Those are just state taxes, theres also federal, social security taxes as well.

When does it stop?

yep, also if you get a refund because you over payed its then also taxed.
I think thats whats caused a lot of the problems, the gov's got to much money.
voting should be in the same month as paying taxes, while is fresh on your mind.
