France's top court:UNCONSTITUTIONAL to levy 75% tax on rich

[uscitizen]

OH my God, somewhere a Rich person might be paying his fair share!!!!

We can't have that!

Stealing 75% of what someone earns is paying their fair share?! Show me where you are entitled to another hard working American's income?

Ever hear, "Thou shall not covet?" That means get your hands and greedy eyes off of what others have. Don't like it? Take it up with God himself.

Tell that to the around 30% of Americans that make their living either directly or indirectly from tax dollars.

How many were on food stamps, medicare, and welfare back then? Was the SS fund being raided by the politicians? Now it's a career and we can no longer afford it even if we taxed the wealthy 100%. So just who are you trying to kid?

Those are different arguments, and if you want to talk about those, I'd be happy to do so.

Yes, I think it's awful that the politicians raided the Social Security Trust fund and I think it's awful that there are people (albeit a much smaller group than the Right Wing wants you to beleive) that think they should live off the government their whole lives.

My ideal world is that everyone should have a job who can physically work a job, and it should be a job that pays a fair and decent living wage.

But you complain about food stamps, and the reality is, 40% of food stamp recipiants have one person in the family who have a job. Just not a job that pays enough to put food on the table.

And this is the argument I've been making for some time here that most of you dance around. When you replace good paying union/manufacturing jobs with crappy McJobs that pay nothing so that the Mitt Romneys of the world can have more money, those working folks don't go off and obediently starve.

They go to the government for help. And then they vote for more of that stuff.

Mitt Romney owned McDonalds?

Who knew?


Did the President steal when he made 7 figures from his book?

Poor Ray Kroc...never gets the recognition he deserves.

Let's say I own a telemarketing call center where everyone gets paid fair with benefits, they are all happy. Through no extra effort by the employees, profit one year reaches $1,000,000 due to a temporary deal I have struck with a vendor. How is that stealing?

Good question.

For those playing along at home, in my straight job, I'm a buyer. In the last 4 1/2 years, I've found half a million in savings on purchases, from doing little things like replacing white boxes with brown boxes, (which are cheaper) to getting a deal on a CNC machine thta saved 50K.

My salary and benefits did not equal anywhere near 500K for that time period.

It was used to cover other parts of the business that lost money hand over fist.

Shitbag....our society is richer today than it was when assholes like you were stealing from the rich.

Most people back in the 30s lived on farms or crammed into big city apartments, while the rich lived on huge estates. They didn't have luxury items like cars, HDTVs, PS3s, vacations to Florida....they were really poor compared to today's so-called poor.

Now that most Americans are living better lifestyles due to more personal wealth, they need to pay something and the rich should not be paying over 50% of their wealth to support other people like you. 93% tax rate???? You're a fucking communist.

Why do you go back to the 1930's?

By the 1950's, the middle class, due to unionization and strong activist government, were actually living a better lifestyle than we do today. They just had a few less technological goodies. They had cars, they had TV's (albeit not as advanced as we have today) and they took vacations to Florida.

But since 1980, when that senile old actor decided to do whatever the rich told him to do, the middle class in America has been in sharp decline, save a breif period in the 1990's under Clinton...

That doesn't answer my question.

How am I stealing by realizing gains from risks I took while still taking care of my employees?

French Court Says 75% Tax Rate on Rich Is Unconstitutional - Bloomberg

Even the French are getting a taste of the failed policies of Socialism, to include their courts which will not allow the insane Socialists of that country to rob the wealthy blind. The really telling thing is that although a multitude of business has fled France over the tax inequality, soaking the rich-- these same blind politicians don't care.. Jobs don't matter, only stealing money from the rich to fund their pet projects. Just as here in the United States, you could tax the rich 100% of their income and it would only help to fund the government for 3 months and NOT MAKE ONE single dent in the debt.

I posted this yesterday and the libturds started foaming at the mouth.

Stop blaming and criminalizing families that make $250K, and talk about GE and Google tax rates

OH my God, somewhere a Rich person might be paying his fair share!!!!

We can't have that!

3/4 of one's property is one's "fair share" in your little pea brain? So, if I make $1,000,000 you think I should give $750,000 to the state?

Fucking parasite.

 

[GoneBezerk]

People in the 1950s were still not as affluent as today in the middle class.

Middle class people in the 1950s weren't flying off to Hawaii for family vacations. They "might" own 1 car and 1 TV. A TV in someone's house back then was the thing for the neighborhood. Most people listened to radio as much as kooks like you surf the internet using a computer.

People didn't spend $100 for dinner, more like $2 maybe.

Idiots like you trying to compare a poorer society where there was a huge gap between rich flying off to Paris while the average American took a train or bus to visit relatives once every 3 years.

It is so rough for people these days with a smartphone, endless places to eat, $150 one way flight deals to Vegas, etc. The uber rich should give all their money to those poor people, eh dumbfuck?

Actually, he wants 930,000.00 of that 1 million. You get 70,000.00 of your income after Joe and the government steal their 93%.

A country whose constitution was very influenced by the American one:

Swiss Voters Reject Proposal to Impose Higher Tax for Top Salary Earners - Bloomberg

In a referendum today, 59 percent of voters turned down the proposal by the Social Democrats to enact minimum taxes on income and wealth. Residents would have paid taxes of at least 22 percent on annual income above 250,000 francs ($249,000), according to the proposed changes.

Switzerland’s executive and parliamentary branches had rejected the proposal, saying it would interfere with the cantons’ tax-autonomy regulations.

By taxing the millionaire, the French government only expected 100 to 300 million euros a year
