Oh How I HATE The Wealthy.

I'm already poor, asshole. I live WAY below the poverty level. But when it comes to the wealthy wanting money, that situation has never stopped them from wanting more. Just look at the tax cuts Trump wants for the wealthy.
I was unaware he wants tax cuts for wealthy people. They only pay almost half of all taxes collected as it is. This is a disgrace and rich people should pay a lot more. I checked with AI and found out you are right. They don't pay enough and if they did deadbeats and shiftless people who didn't pay their dues could live a better life.


The wealthiest Americans contribute a significant portion of federal tax revenue. In 2021, the top 1% of income earners paid 46% of all federal income taxes, which was more than the bottom 95% combined. When considering corporate taxes, estate taxes, and other levies, the total tax burden on the wealthiest individuals can be even higher. A Treasury report found that the super-rich pay more than one-third of their annual income in federal taxes and over 45% when state and local taxes are included.

How much more would you want the wealthy to pay? 60%, 70?, 95%?
 
Blaming all wealthy people is absurd. Most have no ability to affect government policies that affect all Americans. The billionaires have this power and they use it.

Yeah there is plenty of corruption and unethical behavior in big business. A lot of it is because government doesn’t properly regulate business, because the billionaires don’t like regulation and they control government.

How do the vast majority of the wealthy become wealthy? Through greed. That greed comes at the expense of those who aren't wealthy. And for probably 99% of the wealthy, they want to become wealthier. So it isn't absurd to blame all wealthy people. Also, wealthy people can get together and put their money towards electing somebody who will help protect and increase their wealth. That gives them almost as much say in government as billionaires have.
 
Ok make you a deal. I will support any candidate who cuts off all true welare for corporations. That does not include things like tax cuts.

So long as the same candidate also cuts off all assistance to the poor who leech off of society in an equal fashion.

Will you support such a candidate?

To your last question, **** No!

SSDI is about 4000 a month last I checked.

So you're not so bad off after all.

Just as I thought.

It's okay though, I'm just sorry you're so full of blame and hate.

You need a side gig. Life coach for the disabled? :p

$4000 a month?! Who in the hell gets that much. I get less than a quarter of that.
 
When will Americans wake up?

Great post! As to Americans waking up, the vast majority of them don't want to do that. Because if they did, they would have to confront their guilt. (And it is also why freedom of speech isn't allowed around here) For most Americans, and nearly everybody here, they don't really care what happens. As long as it happens to someone else. Also, here are a couple relevant memes on the matter.

If you aren't aware that Trump wants tax cuts for the wealthy, you aren't aware of much. Which makes talking to you pointless. I'm sorry that I even read the BS you posted. Through legal loopholes or just not reporting their actual income, I'm surprised that the wealthy pay any taxes at all. Sure, the wealthy pay the majority of taxes. But they're the ones with the money. Also, I would like to be able to afford to smoke store bought cigarettes. But I can't afford them. Though a rich person wouldn't even blink at the cost. Also, housing takes up over half of my income. How much of a percentage of a wealthy person's income goes towards housing themselves. I would bet it isn't much.

Another point is that the wealthy don't always pay a higher amount in taxes. I have a couple of graphs for you on that matter.

Here's what you do if you are not disabled. Take some night courses. Get a second job. Squirrel away your money until you have learned a trade or skills that will enable you to make more money.

But, where's the link to Trump lowering taxes on "the rich"?
