Zone1 Tax the Rich! Make them Pay their Fair Share!

[Hector12]

Until Kennedy dropped the top marginal rates in the first instance of "trickle down" economics.

Unless you can demonstrate the necessary relationship between the cause you claim and the effect you specify, you present a post-hoc fallacy.

Any effort to prove anything in politics risks being dismissed as post hoc ergo propter hoc. We cannot go back in time, change policy, and measure different results.

What matters is that steeply progressive taxation had beneficial immediate results. Most obviously, it paid down the national debt as a percentage of gross domestic product.

You want the federal government to enforce your version of morality. Who would have guessed.

The federal government cannot tax the wealth of the rich, just their income. You'll never take their wealth away.

A wealth tax would do that.

My reasoning goes like this.

If Trump, Musk, or any other Billionaire were standing in line to buy a gallon of milk at the grocery store, should their cost for their gallon of milk be exponentially higher than what I pay, just because they have and make more money than I do?

In my view, fairness means we all pay the same.

Change My Mind.

Shows just how dumb MAGA dolts really are.

You pay your milk with the money you have, before or AFTER Tax??
