Please leave the thread. You don’t understand the topic.Fuck off.You can’t see the forest for the trees. Like too many Americans, you are blind.Where have I stated I support a wealth tax? I don’t. However I do think we should go back to the tax rates prior to Reagan.
Wealth means political power in the USA. This is why the 1% get whatever they want from government, plus receive an entirely different level of justice than the rest of us.
If you are happy with the current level of inequality in our nation, you’re not thinking.
The inequality doesn't bother me. Jeff Bezo's is far wealthier than me, but he started Amazon and made a lot of good decisions. Good for him. That is the American dream. He doesn't owe me or anyone else an exorbitant amount of that just because I haven't been as successful as him and have had the same opportunity to do so. I believe in a flat tax without any deductions or loopholes. In this case, billionaries would pay their fair share. Fair share in my mind means the same percentage as everyone else.
Bezos is a mental case. A total psychopath. He could end so much human suffering, but he doesn’t.
He knows how to run Amazon, but even there he terribly treats his employees.
Are you aware he owns the Wapo? That he has enormous ties to the government and intelligence agencies. He makes billions from government. He tells Donnie what to do. You like that. I don’t.
Then don't shop at Amazon. That's your right as an American.
That's an incredibly sweet offer. But, I'm already in a committed relationship.
