How much do extremely wealthy people owe to the society that gave them the chance to prosper so much?

[progressive hunter]

The very wealthy are so due to society. They profit the most (by definition) from society. They are defended by society (the sons and daughters of the poor, in fact). It is not only just, it is entirely in their interest to pay as much as necessary for society to continue. They have the most to lose. Playing apologist for the wealthy is about as pitiful as one can get.

depends on what you call wealthy,,,
taking what is not yours is evil,,,

 

[progressive hunter]

Does your lifestyle depend on society?

I'm certainly adult enough not to need other people's money to feed myself, educate myself, pay for my healthcare, or subsidize my other personal expenses. How about you? Adult enough to be paying your own way in life?

I work for someone else so I need other people’s money to feed myself.

Did you go to public or private school? Either way, someone else paid to educate you. Republicans like to believe they were born in the log cabin they built with their own two hands.

You don't understand the difference between money you earn and money the government takes from someone else and gives to you?

We knew you didn't.

I understand. I also make good money and don’t mind paying taxes if it goes to things that benefit society. Not pentagon spending.

how much more did you pay beyond your required amount??

If I could I would cheat and not pay any taxes. Unfortunately only rich guys like trump can get away with that.

that doesnt answer my question,,
you said you have no problem paying more,, so how much more did you pay beyond what youre required to pay??

and so you know trump paid 4 million beyond what he owed,,, along with donating his salary back to the government,,

They know not to do so much that we revolt but they certainly push the limits

we're happy that you have more money than you know what to do with. Other people have responsibilities and they need what they earn. Thanks for telling hard working Americans that you don't give a **** about them.

I don’t want those struggling hard working Americans to pay more taxes. Just all the ones who do as well as I do. $75,000 or more a year. $125,000 for a couple. If you make less your taxes will go down.

This is one way to combat the out of control growing gap between the rich and rest of us. More social programs to help we the people and trust me I wont even miss it in my paycheck

What makes you believe I want to pay more taxes? Why should I pay more taxes, *****?

No social program ever helped me. All they do is pour money down a sewer. You got to be a ******* moron that high taxes are good for this country.

Yea, we’ve heard all that. Taxing the rich is not evil. They lobbied to get our politicians to cut their taxes too much and we need to roll back to pre Reagan era taxes.

They should have never gotten the Reagan bush trump tax breaks. They stole. Only they did it legally.

Neither is true, moron. Government isn't society. The rich don't owe government jack shit.

Wrong. Furthermore, sucking all that money out of the economy creates unemployment. Are you really so stupid that you don't believe higher taxes reduce economic growth?

Bad argument. It’s like asking al gore why he has five homes. I can’t solve the debt problem alone. Every rich person has to pay their fair share. And we need to cut pentagon spending in half.

Surely something, right? I see a lot of people talk like taxes are theft. Is it not just our obligation?

Why punish success? How much of ones hard earned money is another person entitled to?

Horseshit. That is a giant, steaming pile of horse apples. To say, "The very wealthy are only wealthy because of this society" is to say that there are no very wealthy people in OTHER societies. Likewise, the only definition by which they "profit most from society" is your own personal "I hate them because I'm not one of them" definition, and no one I would waste my time spitting on has any interest in living by your definitions. They are defended by society exactly as much as your worthless, sucking-the-intelligence-out-of-the-world ass is, and I don't see you suggesting that YOU should be stripped of your personal possessions (although I doubt the federal government has much use for your cardboard box and half-empty bottle of Ripple).

What is just is for fools like you to start producing and contributing something to make yourselves useful to society before you pollute the air with your greedy, jealous diatribes about how other people aren't contributing enough.

We settled that a long time ago. Then Reagan gave rich people and corporations tax breaks he shouldn’t have given. Then bush then trump.

Lets go back to what we decided before Reagan.

Or go back to bill clintons era. We paid more taxes and had a surplus.
