Never heard a good argument against taxing the rich
Because even if you took every single dollar that Elon musk had, it still would have be a drop in the bucket to the entitlement spending of the government. The only significant change you can make is cut entitlement spending
>>544616365Because they would make just enough money before they get taxed and furlough all their employees for the rest of the year
>>544616616People aren’t going to quit their jobs and become homeless because they’re taxed, they still need food and water
>>544616365Go ahead and tax them. They are already taxed. It solves nothing.
>>544616606And just to make the point, if you took all of the billionaires and billionaires and add it all their money up it's somewhere between 5 to 9 trillion bucks. So again let's just say you take every last penny. They sell all their assets boom it's the government. Entitlement spending is 59% of the budget and we spend over 4 trillion a year, so in about 2 years all that money's gone and we've solved nothing.
>>544616701It solved everything in Canada>>544616835If we taxed everyone earning $80k or more at 50% we could raise trillions.
>>544616365You are still thinking within the system. The system itself is rotten and needs to be torn down and replaced.
Even if that was true, which is not but let's just say it is, that's 2 trillion. You still need to take in another 3 trillion to definitely cover the entitlement spending, and then another 5 trillion to cover the rest of the budget. So again not going to work. Because you have the same massive spending so much like a woman with a bloated budget the only way to do anything is to cut the actual spending that we don't need to do..
>>544616993>>544617152Also you already tax people in Canada 50% or more, and you guys are still over a trillion dollars in debt so we know it's not working there as well. Much like america, Canada also needs to cut entitlement spending
They're already taxed>>544616993Unironically kill yourself
>>544616365>Increase tax on rich (and big corporations)>They leave to tax haven countries>????>Even less profitCuntnadians are just as retarded as ameritards
>>544617475People have jobs you fucking moron, they can’t just leaveCan we start jailing illiterate subhumans
>>544617299We only tax the ultra ultra rich 50%, I’m saying tax the rich 50%
>>544616365same reason we shouldn't have common sense gun controlwe already tax the rich, in fact the poorest 60% of US citizens pay no income taxes at allwhen people say they want to tax the rich, they obviously actually mean "steal everything from the rich except their jobs," in much the same way people who say they want "common sense gun control" really just want to ban guns
>>544616674Lets say you tax the rich at 2 million dollars, the owners of the businesses will just get their 2 million then lay everybody off for the year is what im saying
>>544616365I used to believe in trickle down economics but not anymore. Tax them the same as everyone else 35-40%>>544616606Who cares. There isn't any reason not to tax them. There is literally no benefit in letting them key the money. Tax them at 35-40% like everyone else. fair is fair.
>>544617643Tax consumption, not labor and not investment. Some rich guy holding dollars or investing them in productive business is a noble deferment of gratification for the sake of society
>>544617916Let’s say you earn $100k and ou 20% tax, are you seriously going to quit and go homeless because you now pay 30%?No, you'll suck it up
>>544616365Modern governments are massive bloated black holes of waste. Why do people think the solution is to extract more money to move into the broken system?Never heard a good argument against "taxation is theft".
>>544617973>Who cares. There isn't any reason not to tax them. There is literally no benefit in letting them key the money. Tax them at 35-40% like everyone else. fair is fair.The reason to let them keep the wealth is because they will keep it invested in productive businesses, rather than spending it on alcohol, burgers, and onlyfans
>>544618264Nope, the rich people I know blow their money on beer
>>544616365But I already pay tax. And way too much. You Marxists waste that money for utter nonsense because you don't want to solve any problems, you just want everyone to be equally poor.
>>544618337Then there is nothing to tax
>>544618373Their income as it comes in. They have it until they buy beer and food
>>544618078You cant go homeless making 100k a year
>>544616606>You can't tax the rich because we spend too muchWhat a stupid take. Should we not tax anyone?Inb4 some faggot says yes but thinks things like roads and the military exist for free.
>>544616993> If we taxed everyone earning $80k or more at 50%People would just stop earning $80k or more.They would move their tax residence elsewhere.Or rather go NEET and live from gibs because hard work isn't rewarding.
>>544618502If you value roads and the military so much, then why do they need to take the money from you by force?
>>544618418This is a lower class of person but still he is doing important labor for society (which is why he gets paid so much). What if he can live an easier life by taking some easier job that pays less and doesn't get taxed?That's bad for society too.
>>544618579>If you value something why pay for it?This site is full of fucking idiots
>>544618645Who are you quoting, that isn't even what I said
>>544616606>>544616835>Now they're importing cheap, brown, EAASL, white-collar labor to do their online shilling Oh, no no no no...
>>544618624You are low class if you don’t drink beer
>>544616365There isn't. The government is running out of poor people's money.
>>544618264they don't invest it in shit except pajeets. And their businesses fail anyway we have to print money every 3 months to ensure their businesses don't fail. Fuck them they can pay just like everyone else. I don't even care if it helps they should still have to pay just like I do.
>>544618945They already pay more than you do >>544618804ok
