If Billionaires Paid More Taxes, Would The Govt. Even Put That Money To Good Use?

[Umoja]

Ya'll really fall for this carrot on the stick, hard.

Politics way more complex that "BILLIONAIRES DONT PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE"

Our Democrat President wants to double police spending after "The Summer Of George Floyd"

The problem is people like you feeling the need to act as a shield for people who wouldn't give you a glass of water if you were dying of dehydration.

I didn't actually simplify the matter as "billionaires don't pay taxes". You would have picked up on that if you didn't feel the need to bend over and spread your cheeks for them.

The root cause if a corrupt system. It allows for billionaires to pay minimal taxes and it allows for funds to be misspent. To deal with the issue of billionaires not paying taxes, you will have to deal with the corruption. Dealing with the corruption will fix the issue of funds being misspent.

OP = why bother asking the ultra wealthy to pay their part? It will be mismanaged anyway. Better to keep the status quo.

On the same level as “why make laws? Criminals will break them anyway”


Get a load of this dipshyt

WTF does this even mean?

Cut this childish shyt out.

Again, tell the city of Detroit how shytty jobs are.

What they do isn't illegal (the majority of the time). You have the same options available to you. I employ the same tactics to save myself money.

They already struck down the bill breh because they already decided that it was probably unconstitutional.

The thing about it is that billionaires and companies have tax shelters they employ so it doesn't even matter how much you raise taxes.

What you don't seem to realize is that they use these tactics to eventually trickle down to the middle class.

They know that they'll never be able to tax the rich to death but they do know that people like yourself love the thought of more successful people than yourself being punished and you fantasize about being able to benefit from their money.

So they use the bate and switch which you have obviously fallen for very hard.

What jobs are you referring to?
The ultra rich are not even employing a majority or even half of the city’s of Detroit’s population, I don’t know why you keep bringing this up
Successful
You probably think Trump got his money from being a real estate mogul
There is nothing envious or insidious about wanting all citizens of this country to pay income taxes
I’m closer to getting an NBA contract than you are to becoming a billionaire or parlaying with billionaires, their circumstances don’t apply to you whatsoever
And it’s “bait” not “bate”

No.

And this is my problem with "tax the rich !!!!"

So let's say that we do that.

Let's EVEN say we go full-retard and tax the richest 400 billionaires completely out of existence. Forget the 90% income tax on capital gains or whatever... in this scenario, the idiots get their wet dream and we just NUKE those fukkers. We take all their money and leave them penniless on the street.

So we wipe them out... every penny they've ever amassed over an entire lifetime (estimated by Forbes to be $4.5 TRILLION).

That's STILL LESS than Congress is going to spend, just in 2021 not helping people (congressional budget for 2021 is $6.8 trillion).

So Congress already has more money than the 400 people that the world is going crazy about. They get MORE than the entire wealth of the 400 "problem billionaires"... Every. Single. Year.

So tell me how another 2/3 of a year worth of budget is going to solve all of America's problems.

If you don’t understand why I keep bringing up the city of Detroit in relation to companies and job creation you really have no business in this conversation. It's recent history every American should know and understand.

Again, the same options are available to you and there is nothing illegal about it. However you rather be ignorant and look for charity.

I literally just told you why practically raising taxes won't yield you the results you want. And this why it's so easy to trick people like you. You completely ignore the obvious and are obsessed with the idea of "sticking it to the man" while you get fukked over in the back end.

Luckily what you think doesn't really matter . Imma keep getting mine and sheltering my money from people like you.

Businesses aren't doing anyone a favor by hiring people. They hire people to make them more money. I don't know how that fact has been lost with the general public.

The percent of paid taxes should go up with income not down!

But back to the topic at hand. Even if you think the money would be wasted, why be OK with your money being wasted but not some rich guy born 3 steps ahead?

Tell that to McDonalds who is automating drive thrus.

People need to work.

 

[Luke Cage]

Should let coli brehs manage all our tax money.

actually nevermind, they'd probably just spend all our tax dollars on simping. make bbl's free for all women or some shyt

 

[Jalether]

The rich actually pay more in taxes as far as the actual dollar amount (not percentage wise.) And they also have taxes that most of you are not subject to like payroll taxes and unemployment insurance etc if they own a business.

Many of them also keep people employed and generate income for all said employees. The average person will never employee one damn person.

Actually they don't because they don't earn a taxable wage or income like you and I, instead they get paid in shares and dividend which is used to get extremely low interest loans
from the bank which is what they actually spend on their extravagant lifestyle.

It's all explained here

Ah the good old “do your research”
If you can’t or won’t tell me what point you’re trying to convey it’s all good
You didn’t tell me anything, your position was that billionaires can easily avoid paying income taxes so we shouldn’t try to get them to pay income taxes
It has nothing to do with raising taxes and everything to do with them paying the income taxes they currently don’t pay
Nothing but strawmans from you
I’ve not once said we should be raising tax rates

Automation is a long time away, don’t know why y’all still tryna scare people into accepting the status quo when we still can’t even teach a car to drive itself
Business owners exploit labor to build capital and trade capital for labor
It’s an even and purely self interest driven exchange not an act of benevolence for the economy

I already know how it works which is why I do it too but yes they do pay more in actual dollars . Look it up. Again, I love how ya'll wanna ignore all the other taxes they have to pay.

I did tell you, you just lack the ability to understand or choose not to. The very foundation of how the tax system is built for businesses is what protects them and anyone else who chooses to educate themselves. It's literally public knowledge. The only way to get what you want is completely change the whole tax system.

It won't happen. So you can wish all you want. If you don't understand I guess it's not meant for you to understand.
