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

[progressive hunter]

No it wouldn't. When has government ever been cheaper than a private company?

It could be for poor people. There are still millions of uninsured people in the United States.

thats not cheaper,, when you give something they recipient has no respect fopr what they have and abuse it,, just look at welfare

or we control the change

Automation is going to cripple the amount of available jobs more and more as time goes on and technology becomes more advanced. We won't be able to stop that. Government will have no choice but to take care of people once technology starts making most human labor obsolete.

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

You're just another virtue signaling marxist wannabe dictator. What you want to do with OPM is irrelevant, as are your silly reasons you use to justify your tyranny.

human labor will never be obsolete,, it wont be needed in those areas that can automate

Because they want a job, not welfare.

The jobs aren't going to stop going away. Our society is changing.

ROFL! Yes they are, nimrod. No country ever taxed its way to prosperity. Why do you imagine our economic growth has slowed to a crawl? higher taxes stifle growth.

You're a short-sighted old timer that doesn't understand what's about to happen to the world. It may take a long time for human labor to become completely obsolete, but once huge amounts of jobs start to go away there will be too many people without employment options. Society would collapse if we didn't address that somehow.

 

[Orangecat]

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

Actually, millions upon millions of the poor get away with paying little to no taxes. Don't let that fact get in the way of your anti-rich screed.

You think the jobs are going to stop going away?

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,,,

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.

Taxation is theft, douchebag.

not when its for reasons stated in the constitution,,,

It's always theft.

 

[Orangecat]

I didn’t pay any more than required. I’m asking that my government require more from people in my tax bracket. All of us.

**** off, marxist.

 

[Anomalism]

I understand

No, you really don't. You're just arrogant.

not when you agree to it,, you do agree with the constitution dont you??

Just check the history of the UK. Just check our history. Why do you imagine we had 7% unemployment for years?

No. Nobody living ever agreed to the Constitution. Don't get me wrong, I think it's one of the things that makes this country better than any other on the planet, but it doesn't change the nature of taxation.

Do you think there might be a job problem when drivers, low-level retail workers and farm hands get completely replaced by automation? It won't stop there.

why do you keep editing my comments out of context??

It wasn't cheaper under Obamacare. The government education system is one of the highest in the world and the results are mediocre at best. Lots of examples of poor quality and higher prices and red tape.
