The richest of the rich don't pay flat percentage . Plus he has his own company and prob writes a lot of shlt off

You guys say this like Floyds businesses aren't generating any income, which would be required to be reported

Earlier you were saying that moneyed politicians, like Romney, couldn't claim all their deductions due to public outlast. Now, it's ********s believe in paying taxes, but **********s don't. Do you have any evidence to support this claim that ********s don't take deductions?

I said that Romney could claim all of good deductions because the voters that he was speaking to didn't give a ****.

Hilary and Bill Clinton, on the other hand, have a different calculus they have to weigh. If Hilary Clinton ran for president, and her tax return showed that she paid all of 5% in actual taxes (a made-up number; assume she LLC'd everything, and did all of her donating through the setup), she'd be ****ed.

Thats not what you said. You said this...

Nothing "super-benevolent"; simply acknowledging that they are politicians, ********ic Party politicians at that. Barack *****, Joe *****, and a host of other politicians can file their taxes, take every break afforded to them, and not face any backlash, for the simple fact that they are still relatively normal; own one home, never really made ridiculous money, can give what they can to charity, etc.

Mitt Romney, and other moneyed politicians can't, for the simple fact that if they did so, their effective tax rate would be near zero, a political nightmare in the face of a voting public that pays, between federal/state/local/sales and Medicare/Social Security anywhere from 10%-40% of their own income in taxes.

After saying this, you came back with the '********s can't take deductions but **********s can' statement which seems to contradict this statement

So floyd doesn't have as much money as he says. Interestingly enough, we already knew that.

Barack ***** earned near all of the money that he had with 1)his salary as President and 2)the sale of his book.

No one begrudges what his taxes were, because he's still operating with a relatively normal tax setup. His tax bill, whatever it is, is still pretty normal.

A tax bill for 5% in income taxes, on $10m in income (regardless of if the deductions are proper or not) isn't all that normal, especially for voters who see themselves as ********s.

Who is paying 5% tax? Why should it matter how ***** made his money, he's rich and should "pay his fair share". You keep moving the goalposts. First, it's moneyed politicians couldn't deduct, then it's certain ones can, now it's certain occupations can. I'm tired of chasing you around the ring, pick a stance and stick with it.

And by your logic, Floyd is a hardcore **********. He don't believe in paying taxes, and takes all kinds of deductions

... Floyd is a ********** (calling him 'hardcore' would be a lot of extra nonsense to the conversation, so I won't use that term), so not sure what your point is.

Keep every penny that he can legally keep, help the folks he wants to help, how he wants to help them, live his life as he sees fit, etc.

Floyd isn't with any of the white supremacists bull**** that seems to be an undercurrent in the ********** Party, and no one really knows how he feels about war & peace (when not in Vegas, Floyd is literally traveling the world on a whim, seeing everywhere that he can legally go; he's proud to be an American, but you don't ever see him ****ting on other people for not being American).

Origin story and chosen profession aside, Floyd Mayweather is far more George Romney than not.

Floyd is 40 year's old, is likely having his last fight, and has kept and invested the bulk of what he's cleared on career PPV revenue that's likely to top well over $1b, in tangible assets in the US, with a big presence in Las Vegas. 10-15 years as simply a Las Vegas businessman, and you easily have the space for mayor of Las Vegas if he wanted it (character questions likely prevent him from ever winning federal office, and not sure if his on-the-ground cache extends statewide enough to run for governor).
