Taxing income above $10m/yr would only affect 0.05% of households, not even "the 1%" or something...

I feel like that might dissuade some people from ever wanting to be outrageously successful. I can see it being quite high but 70% seems rather ludicrous.

because then i would have less money to invest in the american economy.

im not letting the government STEAL money from me. Therefore i would have even less liquid capital on hand every year to spend and have to tie up more money in "investments" to dodge these taxes.

Why not 100%?

>Why not 100%?

because that actually would be a disincentive. If Joe makes 100 million and I take 70 million to fix Occasional Cortex's teeth,, the Joe gets to keep 30 million.

30 million is enough for Joe to buy lots of toys, and is an incentive for Joe to make even more if he is that damn greedy.

Why not 99% then.

too much money turns most people into disgusting spoilt babies anyway

good idea

Why do we have to give the government such ludicrous amounts of money anyway, why can't we just have them manage the necessities of civilization then let people keep their money? Why is the government so greedy?

I'm actually with this one. However, (((they))) won't let it through before the other propositions: taking the guns and abolishing borders

>Why not 99% then.

good question. I think we had a 90% marginal rate at one time, but I don't know what level it kicked in at.

right now I think america peaks at about 30 percent, with the problem being that you can do lots of tricks to avoid that.

so, I'd support a REAL 50% marginal rate above 10 million. Taylor Swift and Beyonce only need about 5 mansions apiece.

Why would I want to see parasites get even more of the pie? Fuck horse face and her wealth redistribution.

babby is meeting human nature for the first time today?

I was only pretending to be a retarded leaf. My name is actually Franklin D Roosevelt, and I proposed a 100% income tax.

To what end? If these taxes were meant to improve infrastructure, improve policing, or some other communal good, I might support the policy. But it's just another blatant attempt to buy votes from parasites.

I'm tired of watching the work force participation rate fall.

Because anyone in the right wishes they were the jews

the rich are the parasites

I met a massive retard today. Either you literally can't think and just assume it's a good idea to tax people so the people in government can use their money to fix everyone else's problems or you're actually anti social and just want to watch things burn, which is it?

we're all tired, user. but to be honest, life is better now than at any point in human history as long as you don't live in Detroit, Syria, or some other place where the assholes have total control.

You're healthier and have more luxuries than your parents or grandparents. Truth.

By wanting every individual to be able to keep as much as they make as possible and have a chance to make it in a free as possible economic environment?

yes,cause government knows how to use that money better than cpmanies. like making millions of government jobs where people literally masturbates

a tax on the jews

If I not mistaken, this was tried before in some countries. A good percentage of the rich who owns the companies and employs the poor will run away to others countries

Why do you want to take away individuals prosperity and give it to the few in government?

>90% marginal rate
The effective rate at that time was like 40-50% for those that the marginal rate applied

>It's ok brown and yellow people are allowed to pollute. As long as the global minority of white people stop having babies and pay their carbon tax we can tax ourselves into prosperity.

If you need the government to steal from someone else, and give to you, you're the definition of a parasite. A cowardly bitch of a parasite who can't even suck blood on your own.

I'd support punitive taxes on some rich, but not because they are rich, but because they use their wealth to undermine their host nation. And certainly not so that confiscated wealth could be squandered on useless eaters.

It only costs ~$3,000 to establish an anonymous shell Corp in Panama and that's what anyone with real wealth will do if they haven't already.

In the 1940s when the marginal rates where so high, there wasn't an offshore banking sector, the only other bank in the world was London's and their country was on the verge of annihilation.

>money moves away

your premises are defective

>carbon emissions

Preserving the environment is important, what are some other ways the government could do that without taxing it's citizens more but not paying for it itself? What if the government put aside just a bit of money and awarded it as capital to whichever people came up with a community created business idea that would combat the worst offenders of the environment or something?

Investors don't produce a damn thing. Workers do. Why do investors have more money than workers?

because it's not going to healthcare or education dipshit

>Driving the rich and companies out of the country 101

cause workers aren't smart, they didn't design the machines, they also didn't put down any money towards buying the machine, they are simply there to pull the lever

Yeah, this is a defeatist mindset. Just like "if you protest you'll be doxxed so don't even try".
We gotta push.

You have to be 18 to post on this board.

>Investors don't produce a damn thing. Workers do. Why do investors have more money than workers?

This. Assholes like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison should have just been farmers and let us build our own cars and generate our own electricity. Life would be awesome. We'd have smart phones on par with those African helicopters made of scrap metal.

Millionaires and up consciously use their own money to benefit themselves, which involves benefitting society at large, much more effeciently than the government ever could.

People who don’t understand trickle down economics are literally sub-niggers.

>to combat carbon emissions
translation: so we can give that money to our left-wing political activists

>CO2 tax aka breathing tax

That money will go to UN and Rothschild.
Ultra rich will find a way to not pay taxes even if they have to pay the lobby to make it into law.
Small time rich people will get fucked.

Based jewpiro is right when he says that tax is theft.

Because they gamble on the workers ability to turn their investment into profit which isn't always the case. What good is a worker without work?

The government should kill them.
Seriously, just kill the first 50 rich assholes to repatriate over high taxes. Assassinate them, blow up their houses with Predator drones, whatever. Just kill the parasites if they try to get away and they'll stop.

The reason conservatives are against raising taxes is that they don't like their taxes going to niggers. Nothing to do with protecting the rich.

>you're healthier
Sauce?

Enjoy your Venezuela.

Is this satire? Why can't the homeless person come start up your home/apartment? Why do you have a home when he doesn't?

Workers can't produce shit without investors, designers, engineers, manufacturers, etc.
That's why they're workers, they have no special skills and can be replaced by anyone.

We should throw you commie scum from helicopters

40% of the country pays 0% in Federal taxes. . . .

Trump doesn't have any money lol
Everything he has he got from his crusty-ass father and everything he creates is a failure, including his fugly-ass kids.

>possessions
Yeah look at them running away with their real estate and running away with their production just to get import tax thrown in their face when they try to sell their shit in US.

(((factory owners))) do

I'm more of a national socialist, really. Socialism won't work unless it's within one ethnic group.
Billionaires are parasites and we should tax their wealth and distribute it fairly.

fuck off

>Sauce?

for one example, teeth. You probably have all of yours and will keep them until you die. 100 years ago that was unlikely. My grandfather worked in a textile mill back when the noise and dust was ignored, and you wound up half deaf and couldn't breathe.

If you really think the standard of living today is worse than in 1910 then you are clueless. People who did not have electricity were old by their 40s. The flip side is we're all fat and out of shape.

This is the cruel truth that most useful idiots don't grasp. The average minimum wage worker isn't actually worth much. They might be nice people, but their value to society is VERY low.

I'll acknowledge that there are "good" employers that treat their lower wage workers like a jealous Lord might. And bad ones that treat them like two legged mules, and we should differentiate between the two as a society.

fuck off to your bunker, twat

>but do we live more fulfilling lives?

percentage wise, probably the same. the average farmer didn't live a fulfilling life, same as most people today. that's largely in your mind, and most people fall short in that department.
