I would raise taxes on the billionaire class. Billionaires are not good for the economy and are not good for society

Yea man. Definitely. I’ll make you a deal - I’ll buy your house and buy you and your family a one way ticket to anywhere you’d like with none of those pesky billionaires. Here’s a list for you to choose from, just let me know where you’d like to go ok.

• Haiti
• Yemen
• Eritrea

What was the top marginal tax rate in the US after WWII when the US was in its peak of prosperity and affordability?
Billionaires gonna pay their fair share.
This isn't complicated.
I’m not sure what that has to do with your remedial understanding of economics. You think illegal immigrants pay more taxes than billionaires. You think billionaires are bad for the economy.
Billionaires are bad for the economy. The obscene amount of hoarded wealth is detrimental to the economy. $50 in a working person’s hand will have much more of an economic benefit than $50 in a billionaire’s bank account
Lets make a deal. The only tax increases passed will ONLY affect billionaires. There’s 1,000 or so of them. There are MILLIONS of families that have been targeted by other democrat tax hikes. Leave them completely alone. No addition SS tax. No additional income tax. No additional cap gains tax. Just additional taxes on the ~1k billionaires.
Deal?
You will get your wish. It’s already set to be $192k next year, $199k in 2028 and $207k in 2029. No additional tax hike needed.
Has he not seen the Midwest farmer demographic? They all voted 2 years ago to be shut down LOL
Like I said. You have a remedial understanding of economic principles.
The bulk of a billionaires wealth is equity in operating companies, private businesses, or long-term investments - not idle cash. They deploy that capital and create things like factories, software, research, hiring, etc…
Liquidating that equity to “redistribute” it would not magically convert it into consumption power without destroying the productive capacity that created the value in the first place.
In your scenario you take the billionaires resources and capital and give everyone $50, great. Now what? Now they’re no longer incentived to create more wealth for you to redistribute. This is basic stuff.
There is zero reason that anybody should have access to a billion dollars. Hoarding that degree of wealth is detrimental to the economy. The amount of political power that money can buy is damaging to society (see Musk).
You clearly are having issues comprehending the reality of this concept. This isn’t Scrooge McDuck diving into a pool of gold coins. I’m sorry you can’t grasp this. If you don’t think anyone should have access to a billion dollars you should move out of our capitalist country and stop crying about it. Do something, grow a pair of balls and leave, no one gives a ****.
The billionaires appreciate you voting against your own interests to support them
Basics. Like 3rd grade level.
Here’s a thought exercise for anyone who thinks billionaires are the reason people are poor.
Take every fortune in Switzerland, seize it, and hand the money out. Now explain why Nigeria has nearly its entire population living on under $30 a day. It has almost no billionaires to blame.
Economist Chris Clarke plotted 64 countries, comparing Forbes billionaire counts with World Bank poverty data. The pattern holds across the whole chart. The more billionaires a country has per person, the smaller its share of poor people.
Poverty falls in countries that build the conditions for getting rich in the first place. That means a contract that holds, a court that shows up, and a founder who keeps what he earns.
Billionaires are what that kind of country produces as a side effect.
You may have outed yourself as the least informed poster on this board and that’s saying something. Well done.
Where are you relocating? Nigeria, Haiti or some other destination?
Boy this guy would be helpful right now. He explains this to the leftist children of university better than most. Unfortunately he was murdered in cold blood by a tranny loving leftist.
At what point does it become obvious that getting free, nutritious food that can help provide benefits health wise is not only a no brainer, but beneficial to the country as a whole. The government can actually take a step forward on nations health and the cost of healthcare in this nation. We could fund more coverage for more people.
However, we have gone from what is smart, to "why can't I buy the things I like with the free food program" and if they cannot, you start hearing about being oppressed or a victim or white privilege/racism. Instead of being thankful, there is resentment.
Show your work please. So we can laugh at you
Is detrimental to let the people who make good decisions keep making good decision. Bozo
Charlie Kirk was killed by a far right extremist lolololol
It should also be reiterated that Charlie Kirk was a terrible person when he was alive. It’s not a good look trying to use him as a part of your argument since he was a man of reprehensible character
It must be nice living in an alternate reality. I call ******** on your household income claim as well. There’s no way someone so disconnected from reality is pulling down $200k +. Most likely a trust fund baby or just a liar.
• Utah Governor Spencer Cox and investigators stated Robinson had developed a “leftist ideology,” distinct from his family’s conservative/Republican background. His mother told police that over the prior year he had become “more political and left-wing,” specifically “more pro-gay and trans-rights oriented.”
200k was conservative, it’s really around 350k when you factor in bonuses, etc
I’m a liberal, my wife and I both have master’s degrees. It shouldn’t surprise you that we do well. We’re not illiterate Trump supporters lol
Provide one example showing he was “a man of reprehensible character”…..& not just some out-of-context snippet.
He was 10x the man you’ll ever be…..& obviously 100x more intelligent.
Remember the time when he said black people were better off during slavery? There is no context that can justify that
Link it to provide full context. Maybe they don’t teach that on the GED track.
I’m surprised you have a masters AND a first grade level understanding of economics. Tracks. What is it you and the wife do may I ask?
The context was that black people were better off during slavery because they weren’t committing crimes. I mean come on.Link it to provide full context. Maybe they don’t teach that on the GED track.
Charlie Kirk can be extremely popular in MAGA pop culture and also have been a terrible person. The two things are not mutually exclusive. Honestly they’re more like requisites
So you’re too retarded to post a simple link….got it.
I think this is what he was referring to.
DeSantis says Black people benefited from slavery by learning skills like 'being a blacksmith'
Ron DeSantis defended Florida's new curriculum teaching about the benefits of slavery, saying students will probably learn slaves were blacksmiths.

New Florida standards teach that Black people benefited from slavery because it taught useful skills
The standards, which were blasted by a statewide teachers' union as a "step backward," were approved Wednesday by the State Board of Education.
