This is why we need to tax the wealthy

[pknopp]

All these terms are clearly defined in dictionaries. You don't need to play shell games. Or do you?

And in no definition of capitalism do we find the part where taxpayers are on the hook for business losses.

Communism is a dictatorship that owns all business and industry.

and has nothing to do with my post

Socialism is always democratic fair capitalism.

...that needs to be propped up.

The final solution.

hmmm...Now that's socialism.

sounds like one of the best arguments "for" tax cuts.

If we would quit pumping the markets and bailing out their mistakes we might be able to balance the budget better and afford tax cuts.

It's never going to happen. There looks to be another bank bailout on the horizon.

Billionaires Are Hoarding Trillions in Untaxed Wealth. They Want the Supreme Court to Keep It That Way

A new report from Americans for Tax Fairness found that America’s richest families accumulated $8.5 trillion in untaxed capital gains in 2022

TRILLIONS in untaxed wealth. Good luck explaining this to republicans I guess. You have to explain the difference between the official tax rate and the EFFECTIVE tax rate of top earners.

The wealthy paid their taxes on their money when they earned it. it would be inethical to use the money they paid taxes on over and over and over again. A lot of people who seem to have "too much money" also have to pay property and other local taxes year after year, and inflation makes it even worse. I'm not sure I would tax people's money that has already been taxed.

What's a fair percent to pay for money that was just gave to you?

Whatever my accountant says I owe. And FYI, I'm not that rich, but I believe in paying my fair share, and my CPA is the best at determining such things. You sure seem to be interested in hacking into my personal information.

I didn't ask about you. But you know that. If you don't want to address the question just ignore it like everyone else does.

Socialism ~ the fire department saving your house.

Capitalism ~ the insurance company refusing your claim.
