Leftists are salivating - drooling - for a wealth tax

[ThisIsMe]

You don’t tax gains
You tax transactions, just like you do on a sales tax.
Every stock transaction, tax one percent
Every money transaction…one percent

The wealthy will sit on their wealth, but they will move it around

Ok, as long as they are not receiving it, why tax it?

If I have an uncle who leaves me a 20 million dollar art collection when he dies, why should the government tax it? It’s not actually doing me any good until I sell it

Did you apply for a homestead exemption?

At least raise SS tax to a $1 million, which is capped at $184,500.

Ok, I’m for that, as long as when they retire, they can draw full benefit off of what they paid in

I'm strongly against a wealth tax, for all the traditional reasons.

And I know that, now, after we have so misapplied capitalism, it may end up being necessary.

Complicated situations often require intellectual elasticity.

The intellectual elasticity is cutting spending. If you raise taxes and don’t force the government to curtail spending, you’re just pissing in the wind

 

[ThisIsMe]

Taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society

Bullshit, that’s just an excuse to allow government to be reckless.

You lefty’s think taking money is the only option, you’ll never even entertain spending cuts. I half think all of this isn’t about what’s good for the country, it’s about hating rich people.

If you want to do a limited tax increase to adjust some things, that’s fine, but only if they make major cuts to frivolous spending.

The Left never cuts anything ... other than defense spending.

Mr. Musk became a trillionaire (on paper) yesterday when his Space X company became public.

AOC, Bernie, and many lesser known socialists are just drooling for a wealth tax so they can swoop in and steal 5% of his wealth and redistribute it.



Now, I'm not going to tell you that the super rich don't need to pay more. THEY DO. Raise the freaking tax rates on the wealthy - but do it on earned income, capital gains, and so forth.... the way they have done it for a long time. Raise the rates.

What the left is proposing with these "wealth taxes" is theft. And rest assured, after they get their 5% this time, they will be back for more, soon enough.

RichKid-Reich Denial, from Both Fake Sides

But the Preppy Progressives say nothing about taxing inheritances and trust funds, only earned money. Politics is a spitball fight at a prep school, the cradle of anti-Americanism.

A wealth tax will solve nothing. Government will just find new ways to blow it

Term limits would solve that problem.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Of course we don’t tax wealth
That is why that one percent don’t pay taxes….they don’t claim income

Do you just look at their wealth and just take some?
Of course not.

But you can tax every time they move it
Stock transactions, real estate sales, money transfers

Essentially a sales tax on the wealthy

Why Don't the Plutes Resent Their Spoiled Spawn Mooching Off Them from Cradle to Grave?

Transactions are not taxed. The wealthy spend their wealth creating jobs and opporitunities

Claiming That the Rich Create Jobs Is Like Saying That Vampires Create Blood

Communism is theft, plain and simple, on every level. They steal money from the productive and they steal the soul of every citizen.

Proof Is What the HeirHead Harvard Hierarchy Is Doing Lately


The coequal Left side of the RichKid Reich has an Oedipus Complex. They hate their Fathers and love their mothers (which, by the way, is the main source of Gayism)

The most famous Communist leaders were born in the lower ranks of the upper class, just like Napoleon was. QED. The same way Rightists claim that Fascism is a branch of Socialism, a true unity of ideologies is that Communism came from Hereditary Capitalism and would not exist without that initial advantage.
