Do you think you would benefit from taking the wealth of the Billionaires?

[Brain357]

So you are just spewing nonsense now? Answer the question,

Whine away.

Awe, that’s cute. Well your dodge is noted.

This is what tariffs and taxing imports are for. Make it not so profitable to operate overseas. Make it more profitable to operate your business here in America and hire American citizens.

Consumers pay the tariffs

Good. Let's make products produced overseas MORE expensive than those made here in America. That will encourage more people to buy American and make these American produced products more palatable, rather than buying cheap and cheaply made Chinese products. This is the whole point. Hope it works.

Trump is trying that, it has hurt manufacturing,

No it's the hundreds of millions of people who use his service that makes Bezos his money

So why don't you get all those hundreds of millions of people to stop using Amazon?

I love Amazon and quite frankly I get all of my nonperishable groceries through Amazon not to mention clothes, guitar strings etc etc, I save a ton of dough using their subscribe and save and I get a 5% cash back bonus for using the Prime credit card.

I get to pick from thousands of books to read for free too

What mom and pop store would do that for me?

The taxes that Amazon pays and what Bezos pays on his personal income are different issues.

I believe Amazon paid 1.2% in federal taxes

Amazon paid a tax rate of just 1.2% last year, versus 14% for average Americans

So what?

All a corporate tax would do is lower the taxes the CEOs pay in because they would make less. And the marginal rate those people pay is higher than the corporate tax in many cases

Every single dollar that passes through a corporation gets taxed eventually because all those dollars end up in the hands of some individual be it through the sales of an appreciated stock or bonuses etc etc

LOL
What a crock of shit

Why can’t I use that same lame excuse on my taxes?

You pay way less in taxes than Amazon or Jeff Bezos do

I pay at 15 times the tax rate

But way less.

2% of a billion is way more than 15% oh 20000

Simple Question but to clarify:

Do you think you would benefit from the government taking all of the money from the Billionaire class so that there were no Billionaires (reduce their wealth to $999M) and using it in programs (which include free health care, free college tuition, paying of student debt, universal income for all, etc..,

Keep in mind that all of the Billionaires in the US amount to 40% of the country's wealth.

How do you tax wealth? It's not money sitting in the banks, but investments, assets, land...

Bezos can have $100 billion in shares that can be worth tomorrow $150 billion, or $50 billion, and $20 dollars in the bank. Which part do you tax? Are they planning to do it annually?

That's insane.

Dude. Get a grip. It's a supposition. Go with the thought experiment with the supposition proposed.

Otherwise ask Bernie how he gets it done. It's his idea.

Not just his, all on the left support it.

By the way, the idea is insane.

Completely agree. It's the only thing they have for a platform after trying to build it, through identify politics, with parts that don't fit because the parts have different values.

Dems: "Shit these parts don't fit! I know! We'll say we're going to steal a bunch of money and give it away. Don't let anybody do the math, cuz it won't work but our constituency is stooopid enough to think we really care about them when all we really want is their vote so we can gain power and become a totalitarian government!"

Socialism!

Like he told you, it isn't going to be easy but will pay off for Americans in the long term. You leftists are extremely short sighted and always expect immediate gratification, which is a part of our problems.

If you have no fricken idea how a business operates what's the point? You can whine until you're blue in the face about how life is so unfair and it's not easy. Guess what...it won't change.

No, but we can tax the crap out of their imports to create a more level playing field. I don't understand the leftist resistance in doing this.

Where did you hear that, on Comedy Central or HuffPost?

Trump hurt manufacturing so much that factories are opening all over.

The only ones hurt are leftists. Butthurt.

 

[ChrisL]

You should be supporting our president in his attempts to level the playing field. If something is not done, this is not going to get better on it's own. It will just get worse in the long run. Trying thinking beyond the end of your own nose for a change.

Just look on Indeed.com, Ziprecruiter, etc. There are LOTS of manufacturing jobs opening up. I keep my eye on these sites. They tell us a lot about the economy.

The 1930s? Ha ha! Italy? Face facts, Americans are the largest consumer base. If we are not buying, it is going to hurt them more than us in today's "global economy."
