Why don't you want to tax the rich?

[Hafar1014]

Wealth cannot be taxed, only income.
To tax wealth, they need to amend the constitution.

A wealth tax will destroy the economy as money is pulled out of the stock market

That's an opinion. It's being debated.

A wealth tax will destroy the economy.....

The destruction of the US economy is the ultimate goal.

Where there's a will, there's a way. Maybe it depends on how they do it, democrats are very sneaky you know. Higher taxes on investment transactions, unrealized gains, etc.

Isn't California doing that, trying to pass a wealth tax in that state?

I would not put a special tax on them, but would close loopholes that make it, so their tax rate is cancelled out. I pay, without complaining, and have most of my life, and still manage to live comfortable. They can too, and still live more comfortable.

But you'll notice that that's NOT what Dems are after. Not those in Congress anyways. They want all those loopholes.

 

[task0778]

They won't pass a wealth tax. Why do you "think" they will?

Are they not trying to pass a wealth tax in CA as we speak?

Why? Please. The democrats are very creative in finding ways to raise existing taxes or make new ones.

Look at the thread title: why don't you want to tax the rich. As in more taxes, why do you think they always say they should pay their fair share? They never give a number, it's always more than what they're paying now. And they want to get their hands on someone else's wealth so they can spend it. C'mon dude, get real.

States can do what they want - the federal government cannot tax wealth.

 

[Nostra]

The solution is massive spending cuts, not tax increases.

We dint have a revenue problems. We have a spending problem.

A $5 hamburger cost more relative to income for a poor person than a rich person. Should the price of a hamburger be income based rather than a set price for everyone? Should Elon Musk be forced to pay $20,000 for his hamburger? Regressive is just a buzz word that has caught on much like the phrase the rich must pay their “fair share”.

This will be lost on IQ 13.

 

[Nostra]

My point is that prices are rising because of the tariffs.
Tariffs ARE a regressive tax on consumers. You are pretending they have no effect. You're just wrong.
As for your stats, don't they come from Trump?

Why is inflation down since the tariffs were enacted, Commie 13?

It's nice to be sure. I do not underestimate the Left's desire to take as much wealth from those who have it and spend it to enrich themselves and their supporters.

 

[Nostra]

A flat tax does not do that. It places a bigger burden on the poor that progressive taxes.

You mean they would actually pay some income taxes.

 

[Nostra]

They won't leave the country.
You are pretending that anything that's not a flat tax is punitive. That isn't the case.
The bad part about trying to discuss this with conservatives is they haven't studied the topic.
Speaking of punitive, do you want to get rid of sumptuary taxes?

You still have not explained what is not fair about taxing everyone at the same rate.

They are trying to pass a wealth tax in Ca now. Tell me who in CA opposes it.
In fact, I oppose a wealth tax after I read a recent article in The New Republic about why it's not a good thing.
I'm not a dude.

Paranoid. That is just untrue. If you believe that, you are deep into conspiracy theories.

Nobody should kid themselves. The Dem partly like the Republican or MAGA party, put people in office, by raising and spending special interest political donation, from wealthy individuals and industry, not some broad based group silent grassroots $2 dollar donators that ask for nothing, and many of these politicians have gotten rich doing the bidding of the donor class, whether playing lip service to the working class or not.

How much is the tax on investment transactions now?

I know it's the democrats who are trying to pass it, which kinda tells me who opposes it.

I'm not a dude.

Sorry. My bad. My reference wasn't meant to be derogatory.

Every trans identified person has a premorbid personality disorder that will respond to psychotherapy.

Every one of them? Even the ones you have not met?
Most therapists would be reluctant to diagnose someone they hadn't met.
