Why don't you want to tax the rich?

[Nostra]

So, is it up to you?

quote me saying billionaires need to pay their fair share, or any other amount, Dumbass.

 

[rightwinger]

Hmmm, that post bothered you so much you had to answer it twice eh? Ok, let's pick this one apart...

I'm going to tell you something. NONE of this shit you people promote to supposedly "benefit society" is called for in the Constitution. You put these nice names on shit, only to find out later it's either a form of economic slavery that stifles mans ability to succeed, or as a redistribution scheme for votes. Nothing what you propose ever works the way you say it will...

So, cry me a river, tell me I am heartless, scream into your pillow, I don't give a shit...We the people are being ripped off by Democrats, and we are sick of it.

You misrepresent the Constitution

The Constitution is four pages long
It was never meant to dictate what Government can and can’t do for hundreds of years

What it does is establish a government of We the People that serves the best interests of the General Welfare

 

[BULLDOG]

Why should they pay any more than you do? Are you paying your fair share? Because a person works harder and earns more than you do, why should they have to pay more than you do? That's why taxation should be based on consumption. Pay for what you use.

You think the rich got there by working harder? That's really dumb. Here is a list of things that count much more than hard work to get rich.
Inheritance and family wealth
Access to education and networks
Owning appreciating assets
Tax structures that favor capital over labor
Entrepreneurship and high-return investments
Luck and timing

Yea people like Bezos & Musk are really hurting, aren't they?

They're having it sooooooo hard.

Why do you want to hurt people?

SMH

That childishly silly dodge must seem effective to you cult members. Trump is president now. why won't he fis it?

Fix what? He didn’t run on punishing successful people, Dipwad.

Why do you expect him to enact your Cult’s lunatic tax policies?

Rich and evil are two different things, but they overlap in many ways.

What is a “fair share”? Give us some numbers.

Nice list of excuses. What have you gained from excuses in your life? LOL

 

[DukeU]

We haven’t been invaded in 200 years

I wonder why?

 

[BS Filter]

Why should we aggressively tax them? It’s because certain people believe that being wealthy is unfair? Meanwhile these people are listening to politicians who are billionaires

Exactly. The evil wealthy politician tells the dumb voter that he's being oppressed by the wealthy guy, so vote for me because I'm on your side. Democrats have been doing this for years and dumb voters are still falling for it as their taxes keep going up.

 

[BULLDOG]

What is a “fair share”? Give us some numbers.

Greater than 0%

 

[rightwinger]

I wonder why?

Because nobody has the capability to actually invade us
Which means spending nearly a trillion a year for defense is not needed

You are a moron.

• Only 21% of millionaires received any inheritance at all.
• Just 16% inherited more than $100,000.
• And get this: Only 3% received an inheritance at or above $1 million!

None of those give you the rights to their money or assets.

50 percent of income over one million is a good starting point

 

[BULLDOG]

Excuses? That's just goofy.

 

[Nostra]

Greater than 0%

So you want the bottom 50% that don’t pay taxes to pony up.

 

[Nostra]

50 percent of income over one million is a good starting point

Total? State and federal?

 

[wist43]

Wanting the rich to pay their fair share is anti-American?

Out of control, unconstitutional spending is anti-American.

In the 1930's, the Elites deliberately expanded the interpretations of clauses in the Constitution to,

1) steal $$ directly for themselves
and,
2) steal $$ to control the witless masses with government programs

Once they expanded the Constitution to mean anything they say it means, the Federal Treasury became their piggy bank, and it was only a matter of time before our freedom came to an end.

History of government 101.

Inheritance is only one of the things listed. However, it's telling that 1/3 of all rich people inherited it. Regardless, each and every thing on the list is vastly more important than hard work.

Yeah, I went through that list of bs excuses and just shook my head.
Owning appreciating assets--that's rich. Gee I bought real estate instead of a new pair of Jordans. I think that's called making smart choices.
Tax structures... --- Percentages don't favor anyone--except when someone who earns more has to pay a greater percentage.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP---are you kidding me? I build a better mousetrap and I should be penalized for it? That line of thinking is asinine. The bit about high return investments is too stupid to address, again smart choices.
and Luck and Timing--just another excuse.
