Since we know that trickledown economics is a GOP lie, why are republicans still opposed to taxing the very wealthy more?

[Billy000]

The wealth disparity in the US is the widest in the world. We KNOW corporate subsidies and tax breaks do not benefit the middle class or poor on any significant level. It's simply a myth they would choose to invest the extra money into lower level work forces. Why pay the fast food worker more if republican policy allows the fat cats to just keep the money they save from tax loopholes or meat subsidies? No point in that for them. There is no incentive.


"Under this legislation," the proposal noted above a list of billionaires in America, "the families of all 657 billionaires in America who have a combined net worth of over $4.26 trillion would owe up to $2.7 trillion in estate taxes."

Estate tax proposal from Bernie Sanders would mean big bills for America's wealthiest

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders (I-VT) recently introduced an estate tax plan that specifically lists the wealthiest Americans.

No, I am going to tell you that FUCK YOU, COMMIE we're not doing communism or socialism. We will kill everybody and go to Valhalla before allowing that communist shit, so give it up.

If you got more money from so called very wealthy what then? Would it used for something important like say oh I don’t know taking a very, very small step in paying down the national debt or would it be used for yet more partisan pork bullshit. My vote would be for the second.

I understand that you rightwing douches lack the nuance and critical thinking to understand my point, but at some point you have to figure it out. I am not suggesting we abolish capitalism. I’m saying we create a private market system that is more egalitarian.

Regardless of where the money went, it would help for pay for any government spending and reduce the deficit.

We certainly can fix that problem. 99% of the wealth is owned by the top 20%. But the top 20% pay less than 99% of the taxes. Using your logic, we lower the percentage of wealth to the top 20%. Wonder how that's going to go over?

It would be wasted on things like "gender studies" in Afghanistan. Why do you think the people in government are more noble than people in the private sector. Are you not paying attention to what they are doing with our tax dollars now? They're wasting the money. Wake up.

sounds like youre jealous,,,

maybe you should stop being a lazy piece of shit and get out there and do something,,


all of these rich people employ hundreds or thousands of people and when they use their money to buy the nice stuff they also help the job market,,

paying higher taxs takes money from the people and gives it to the government to waste on turtle tunnels and gender studies in pakistan,,

That's not even close to a blip on the radar for a macro effect on the economy overall.

Only a single example of what people, rich and poor, spend their money on.

The bigger question is ... If someone has accumulated wealth, why do you feel entitled to it?
