Think so? Then, as I suspected, you have no idea of what Marxism is.[...]
ZERO PERCENT PERSONAL INCOME TAX FOR 51% OF US WORKERS... PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX FOR THE 49% SCALING UP BASED ON INCOME... Ayup that's marx all the way.
[...]
That zero percent personal income tax rate applies only to those whose incomes are below the poverty level. What would you have them do, pay a tax on Monday and qualify for welfare on Tuesday?
A progressive assessment imposed on those who can pay millions of dollars in personal income tax without it affecting their lifestyles in any way is more than fair. In fact it is merciful compared to what I advocate -- which is confiscation of every penny of personal wealth in excess of twenty million dollars! And as bad as I'm sure you think that is, it still is a hell of a lot better than Marxism. So you need to do a little reading before tossing around those "Marxist" and "Socialist" accusations.
You're missing the point. Start with unquestionably unearned wealth first, and you may not have to go beyond that. Above-average inheritance and trust funds must be confiscated. Given an undeserved head start, the spoiled-rotten children of the rich will become a cancer on society. So they must be cut off from Daddy's Money at age 18. If we have to do it on our own, so must they.
Who determines what is "above average"?
You, someone else, GOVERNMENT?
Lord help us.
Best way to do is to keep your hands to yourself and I will keep mine to myself.
What someone inherited is none of your business. The person that left it to them ALREADY PAID TAXES ON IT.
