A Simple Fix: Tax the Rich

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Tax the rich? Taxing political donor class?

It can't be done. Here's a boutique tax cut though!

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

eat kill the rich

FTFY

People don’t realize how much a billion dollars is.

You can afford to pay $2000 rent a day for 1,000+ years with $1 billion dollars.

Jeff Bezos’s net worth went from $75 billion to $240 billion in 3 years.

Now they’re talking about giving $4 TRILLION tax cut to a handful of people, from our social security.

Problem is most people have no sense of scale to value how far off they are.

This, and when you start thinking about these analogies you start seeing what a sociopath you have to be to accumulate that much money.

Anyone with a bit of decency would start giving money away long before $100 billion

Yup. Also goes to show how delusional some other sociopaths are when they think they’re on the same level of wealth as these guys and defend them.

Glad Gary is getting more traction. He's one of the best economics commentators on YouTube. Right up there with Patrick Boyle and how money works.

 

[BK The Great]

These stupid billionaires need society more than they really know.

 

[Luke Cage]

Threads sounds like a democrat talking point, i'm confused

 

[Gloxina]

Glad people are starting to follow Gary economics he’s been killing it

I am late, but I am such a fan! So happy that he is becoming more and more popular. That’s the exact type of voice we need contributing to the discourse.

not even a thought for these next four years

 

[Strapped]

But who will create more jobs!?


Who will invest in technology!?


What part of trickle-down dont you understand !?

Never trust anything the man tells you

 

[Richard Glidewell]

And what does a regressive tax do for lower income and middle class families besides lessen their purchasing power

The same it would do for everyone else. Make it a simple to understand and comprehend. Purchasing power talking points are rage bait. When you can calculate exactly what's what with no surprises a term like purchasing power doesn't even matter because you have an even clearer picture of what you can and can't afford.......as if that stops people anyway

 

[Reflected]

Nah

Edit: Honestly, who would implement that and why? Their most important doners are rich. Look at what happened to the IRS.

How the IRS Was Gutted

An eight-year campaign to slash the agency’s budget has left it understaffed, hamstrung and operating with archaic equipment. The result: billions less to fund the government. That’s good news for corporations and the wealthy.

Gutting the IRS

A multiyear campaign to slash the IRS budget has left it understaffed and on the defensive. That’s been good news for tax cheats, the rich, and big corporations — but not for the poor.

But what happens when the billionaires leave. There will be no jobs left. Billionaires are job creators. We are punishing people for being successful, what country is this? Russia?
