What Taxing the Rich Could Yield

Nordberg said:
Many got rich by cheating in businesses and taxes. Like Teddy Roosevelt said when he installed the inheritance tax, "nobody begrudges a person who has a great idea from becoming rich. But passing his wealth along creates swollen fortunes which are different in "kind" from money earned. " He saw it as a fundamental threat to the American exoeriment. Money = power and the wealth gap is worse than during the Gilded Age. Power and money are being concentrated in the hands of the few and we may regret permitting them to make the rules. They are making them to their advantage.

1. If laws are broken, then prosecute the lawbreakers.
2. So some inherit wealth. Again, how does that negatively impact those who did not?

I do not want anyone's money. I want the country to be able to afford all the things a decent government should be able to provide.

Assholes like you are willing to let some people go without food, clothing, shelter, education and healthcare...so that the very wealthy can become even wealthier.

The richest 1% now owns more than 50% of all the wealth in the world.

When will fucking morons like you finally realize something has to be done...

...when the richest .01% own 90% if the wealth of the world?





So you say.

Personally I think you are unable to write a coherent, logical comment.

Kind of emotional aren’t you Frankie? I don’t care how much wealth someone has if they earned it honestly and neither should you

But you are greedy and you want OPM. You like many despots hide behind the poor and needy to disguise your envy

Do you mean devoid?

How so?

No one creates a job just because the sun is shining or because they woke up on the left side of the bed.

Jobs are created by consumer demand.

If you cut consumer demand by not raising wages, or by making consumers spend their income on things the state should provide (health care, education), then what happens to the economy?




What's clear is that you have never taken an economics class in your life, instead gleaning bullshit off message boards, then posturing to everyone because you want people to take your garbage seriously.

Fuck off and die.

By "fuck off and die" what you really mean is "I'm a tiny little man with a shitty argument so I have to wish death on anyone with a better argument."

In my opinion:

Taxing income at a much greater rate as the income goes up...MAKES SENSE. It should be done starting tomorrow.

Taxing capital gains at the same rate as regular income...MAKES SENSE. It should be done starting tomorrow.

Taxing inherited money at a MUCH HIGHER RATE as the amount of the inheritance goes up...MAKES SENSE. It should be done starting later today!

Thanks for demonstrating that, for libs, this has nothing to do with revenue. This is about PUNISHMENT.

Look, I have trouble following all your ever-changing lies about yourselves.

It would help if you all picked one story for your message board characters and stuck to it.

Instead, you just change shit on the fly and hope no one notices.

No, I mean you are outclassed and can't defend your own shitty core beliefs, so you should just fucking die rather than pollute discourse.

You offer nothing, you bring nothing to the table, what is the point of you?

If that's your perception, then that means you think we think there's behavior that deserves a punishment.

So why would we want to punish the wealthy? Because they're not trickling down, right?

Weren't you the one who said that if we cut taxes for the rich, they'd create jobs and raise wages?

Neither happened.

So now you can fuck off.

They did that just a few weeks ago. They ran against the awful Trump Russian Tax Cut. +41 seats.

Have you got any evidence that supports your contention that the successful DEMOCRATS ran on raising taxes?

If so, present it.

If not, I'll understand.

Nah...just put the emphasis in because it is allowed...and it is fun.

I also do not give a rat's ass how much wealth someone has if they earned it honestly.

But...

...1) LOTS of that money has not been earned honestly...it was earned dishonestly or questionably and passed on from generation to generation.

...2) when there are massive domestic projects that need doing...and there are people unable to compete in this fucking dog eat dog economic system we have...I want to see EVERYONE WITH SUFFICIENT and ALL DOMESTIC PROJECTS THAT NEED DOING being done...

...before we have the kinds of disparity we have now.

After those two goals are met...the disparity can gain again.

If we continue down the road we are on...we are heading for the kind of corrections that took place in late 18th century France and early 20th century Russia.

Right now the top 1% of Americans own 35% of the total wealth. The top 20% of Americans own 85% of the wealth. The bottom 80% own only 15% of the wealth. And the wealth gap is rising whether the government is dominated by Democrats or Republicans.

We now have decent, hard-working people who work several jobs and are barely able to make ends meet...always fearful of that one incident that will put them in abject poverty.

Apparently assholes like you think that the top 20% did so much of the work that was needed to make our nation what it is, that they deserve the 85% of the wealth...and the bottom 80% are so lazy and worthless that having 15% of the wealth is reasonable.

Okay...but I think THOSE ASSHOLES ARE NOTHING BUT FUCKING BARBARIC MONSTERS WHO SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO LIVE AMONG HUMANS.

Other than that...I hope your Christmas holiday went well. ;)

No, no, no. I am just NOT a jerk-off American conservative savage, barbaric, sub-human piece of shit willing to put up with the kind of nonsense people like you embrace.

No envy at all...but I suspect someone like you could never accept that.

Okay. Live with your delusion.

Not sure how you got that from what I wrote...

...but if I am not mistaken...you are an asshole, so I shouldn't expect much better.

You should ask that question of yourself, and get a large bottle of sleeping pills ready.

Your mind is so weak and your judgment is so poor that a reality TV show host -and not even a good one who won awards- conned you into voting for him.
