Right-Wing Challenge: Fair Income Tax For The Top 50% vs Bottom 50%

[kyzr]

Musk wrote a tax check for a single year for $12 BILLION. let me know when your working poor guy ponies up that much to run the govt, Dipsqueeze.

Even after writing that check for $12b Elon Musk is still worth $676b, he is not suffering.
The working poor need help to survive and you want to steal what little income they have.
Your perspective is vicious, were you beaten or abused, or raised by wolves?

Nope, just can’t get how you think treating everyone the same isn’t fair.
I guess you really are that stupid. And the poor would pay less than the rich.

Treating everyone the same isn't fair because everyone doesn't have the same income or wealth.
If you want to redistribute wealth and income so everyone gets exactly the same, then taxes would be the same.

the poor will always pay less than millionaires,,
what you want is to punish people for being successful because you failed your life,,

No one is being punished for paying a higher tax rate because they have a higher income.
Helping the poor, or not punishing the poor, should be a core function of government.
I can't help if you were mistreated or abused and have no values.

So? Do you think the tax system is set up to make people suffer?

Is that the goal?

The goal is to fund government as equitably as possible for the betterment of everyone.

If you want to redistribute wealth and income so everyone gets exactly the same, then taxes would be the same.

why do you want to redistribute wealth?? that would require stealing from one and giving to another,,

Treating everyone the same isn't fair because everyone doesn't have the same income or wealth.

explain your philosophy here? 10% is the same across the board no matter the income level. So someone on the lower side pays less than the upper half. You seem confused.

"Treating everyone the same isn't fair because everyone doesn't have the same income or wealth."

That is generally how a progressive tax system works....

There are people here who think that US should be lower on this list.

The USA also has a GDP which is six times higher than the European "powerhouse" of Germany. Your growth rates in the EU are anemic due to your strangling regulation and higher levels of taxation.

it is. It is the main objective.

So why are you focused on punishing the rich?

thats exactly whats happening,,

you force them to pay at a higher rate because of their success,,

helping the poor has never been a main function of government in this country,,

that falls on the people to help their neighbor not the government to steal from one and give to another,,

thats covered in the last sentence of the 5th amendment,,

youre thinking of communist countries not the USA

why do you want to redistribute wealth?? thats would require stealing from one and giving to another,,

I don't want to redistribute wealth. But I do want to have an equitable/progressive tax system.

I'm not confused. I think Elon Musk can afford to pay a higher tax rate than someone near the poverty level.
