A challenge for the "Tax the rich more" crowd.

[Nostra]

All we hear from Democrats regarding the debt is TAX THE EVIL RICH MORE.

They never say what is "rich", and how much of the total tax bill the evil "rich" need to pay for their utopia.

Here is your chance to provide some specifics.


How much? Give is some numbers:

The top 1% should pay _____% of the total income taxes.

The top 10% should pay _____% of the total income taxes.

The top 50 should pay _____% of the total income taxes.

Leftardz suck at math.

I doubt they can ever reach the level of understanding that causes any realization of the fact that they can't increase taxes on "the rich" without a resulting increase in the financial burdens of themself and everyone else.

Excellent thread starter!
Let's see the Left on the record here ... if they have the balls to actually answer it.

They never define what rich means much like they never define what a woman is.

That way they can politicize a term any way they wish to be used for their own devices.

But they also know that when someone refers to the "rich", what they mean is someone that has more than me, money that probably should be coming to me cuz life ain't fair don't ya know.

Marxists always redefine words so, rich can mean anyone.

Zone1 Thread 'Tax the Rich! Make them Pay their Fair Share!'

Oct 12, 2025

A couple of years ago, at a family function (graduation party), the subject of taxation came up. It wasn't me that brought it up, but I did make the mistake of kicking the hornets' nest.

The subject was mostly about the economy and Trump (again, it wasn't me), and one of my in-laws said something about "tax cuts for the rich," or "the rich not paying their fair share."

I wanted a clear answer and explanation for how to know or calculate what "their fair share" should be. That's all.

You would have thought I threatened them with a gun or something.

Needless to say, I never got an...

Taking NYC as an example, they have a $12 billion deficit, so pretty much EVERYONE with $5 in their pockets is rich.

It is kind of like how they make everything illegal via all their never-ending laws and regulations, then they pick who they don't like and find out what laws they have broken, while ignoring everyone else.

Yep. I have tried this a few times over the years. They all run and hide like scared school girls.

I pulled the OP from another thread in response to citygator saying all we need to do to solve the deficit/debt is tax the evil rich more. He ran and hid from the post several times.

Wow.
You're right.
Not a single far Leftists/Communist to be found responding here.

Since the left is not responding, these are my numbers:

top tax rate 40%, up from 37%, all others stay the same

Plus, eliminate the "Capital Gains" tax loophole, income is income

Plus, add a new financial transaction tax of 2% whenever they are bought or sold

Plus, fix SS by removing the cap

Plus, stop "Corporate Welfare", aka "subsidies", i.e. giving $billions of taxpayer cash to corporations, buy stock instead and keep it in a Sovereign Fund until needed.

Why should the wealthy pay more? Because they have all the wealth:

Eliminate the "Capital Gains" tax loophole and add a new financial transaction tax of 2%? That's one way to kill market investments.

Guessing you want to include home ownership. Every year the value goes up, its ripe for capital gains.

 

[Nostra]

Interesting fact: Despite all the EVIL TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH since 1980, the rich keep paying more of the total tax burden.

Reagan tax cuts, Bush tax cuts, Trump tax cuts.....all result in the rich paying more taxes.

Weird.

Bullshit. What else would they do with their money, stuff it in their mattress?

You only get one tax free home sale, same as now. My capital gains elimination was for just for long held financial investments.

Ya gotta love how Bernie used to always complain about "the millionaires and the billionaires".

Now that he's a millionaire, it's just "the billionaires".

Thus proving that, for Democrats, someone else is always to blame.

Because they make the most money, duh. Funny how that works.

One more bone to pick, "that tax cuts generate more tax revenue". It is true that tax cuts spur the economy and generate more tax revenue, BUT what you also need to look at is that the national debt increases because those tax cuts are paid for with borrowed money. If tax cuts generated more tax revenue we wouldn't need to borrow more.

Trump-45 and Mnuchin cut taxes saying that the economy would grow at 5%, it did not, it grew at 2% and Trump-45 exploded the national debt.

Because the government is so efficient and disciplined with all the taxpayers money they already control.

Let's give them more!

Brilliant!

36,70.76, respectively. Based on the tax rates in the 60th's, the time when people could feed and house their family on a single income. Historical Federal Individual Income Tax Rates & Brackets, 1862-2021

Before Reagan convinced the Republican party that lower taxes for the higher incomes causes them to donate their added income to the people they employ.

We owe $39T and pay $1.2T a year in interest on that debt, more than defense.
We need to start paying down that debt before the dollar crashes.
