Billionaires are holding 8.5 Trillion dollars. The coli told me these businesses can't afford to pay employees a living wage.

Either:
Securities based borrowing needs to be taxed
or
Unrealized gains of some excess needs to be taxed


Because the wealthy don't generate income or have capital gains they just borrow against their wealth to avoid paying taxes.


You will never win support of unrealized gains tax because homeowners will clutch their pearls even though they are way below the threshold.

Ban borrowing against wealth.

Either you got it or you don't got it.

Another uneducated thread on this topic. Ya'll on the Coli are going for a world record of fake militancy


Billionaires =/= All Businesses
Minimum Wage =/= Living wage

99% of businesses are Small Businesses with less than 100 employees. If you raise the minimum wage to pay unskilled labor, that for sure effects 99% of businesses

Word?
I thought billionaires were the ones who create jobs. So now they're not business owners?

You're not even responding to what I'm saying, just looking for fake militant daps :deadrose: :snoop:

NINETY NINE PERCENT of Businesses are Small Businesses with less than 100 employees. Are you terrified people won't click on your threads if you don't mention the word "Billionaire" ?

I actually did respond.
And you came in here NOT addressing the OP with any substance and you sit here and pretend that what matters is how people define small business and not what a business generates in revenue.

No business, regardless of size deserves to stay in business if they cannot afford to pay their expenses. And just like they pay a fair price for rent, or ingredients, or shipping, or anything else....SO TOO, must they pay a fair price for employees.

And the fact is you don't have a single reason why that shouldn't be the case.

And to bring it back to the OP, the wealthy (which would include these tax avoiders) have the money they claim they don't.
