Because it's not your money, fuck off leech

I dollar in a rich man's pocket is generally better spent than a dollar in government coffers.

Because the richest people are Democrats.

Still waiting for a private company to get to the moon or clean up the environment or build public transit or provide healthcare to everyone or create the internet etc

Three out of those four people are for raising taxes.

I would love for the rich to get blown the fuck out. Greedy fucks flooded this country with shitskins to drive down wages.

Exactly. Why do you think that is?

Better spent != frivolous expenditures on cool shiny things brainlet

"the rich" eventually means "anyone making over 50k a year"

I'll give you a hint. Democrat policies are what gives them power.

Well, clearly because they’re good people who realize they owe way more back in taxes than the average American.

No it doesn’t.
Then why would they be for policies that tax them at a higher rate?

In the OP you claimed the rich weren't good people though.

No I didn’t.

Because you'd have to define 'rich' and the wealthiest in the country already pay the most taxes. Those people have enough money to fuck off to another country then where would you get your gibs?

Did you read your own image? Or are you just used to being retarded and contradictory?

>Then why would they be for policies that tax them at a higher rate?

Because they control the government. The money just goes back to them.

Because you will be next.

/thread

Rich=over 10 million a year, at least if we’re talking about a 70% marginal tax rate. There. Easy peasy. That used to be 90% btw. And also they only pay the most federal income tax, and that still means jackshit when you account for much of the wealth they still own you economically illiterate fuck.

The image doesn’t say all rich people are bad you dunce.

So if we could guarantee the money would be sent to the middle class or infrastructure would you be okay with raising taxes on the rich?

The image literally says the rich are trying to destroy your life.

Because you’re not entitled to the labor or fruits of labor of others. It’s called theft or even slavery. Now go get a fucking job

It doesn’t say that. You must be looking at a different image. Unless you’re talking about the rich people that are greedy like our current president who are having morons like you vote republican to give them tax cuts, then of course the image is talking about that.

Following that logic, why do we have taxes at all? If everyone 100% "earned" and "deserve" their money, isn't taxation theft? Should we just let the government, military and emergency services collapse? The answer is no, that's retarded. Rich people only earned their money by exploiting people. If workers were actually paid for 100% the value they produced, rich people wouldn't even exist. Taxing the rich more is perfectly fine.

No lol, they don't care where the liquidity goes. They are buying the system and taxing all their competition.

If I earn heaps of money for doing a difficult job that most cant do, I will do that job. If the government takes away so much more money from me than from the average Joe that I only get to spend as much money as the average Joe, I will not do that difficult job. Therefore, raising taxes on the rich will result in people not bothering to earn large sums of money

>as long as it isn’t their money
>50.1% of the population voting for something doesn’t mean it isn’t theft

Because they're at a point where they can accumulate wealth faster then they can lose due to their wealth, but smaller companies can't, meaning that higher taxation of rich companies essentially guarentees that everyone else can't compete with them, giving them a monopoly.

This allows them to dictate prizes. Combine that with cheaper labor costs from the mass importation of unskilled labor and wage depression due to the importation of foreigners, and you get a ponzi scheme where they both get to cut labor costs, dictate prizes to the consumer, and, whilst it may slow down their ability to accumulate wealth slightly, essentially keep them permanently at the top of the totem pole.

>muh taxation is theft

Uh oh, everyone. It’s another 15 year old ancap libertarian. I hear your dream country Somalia is still a shithole, you’d know that if you read anything other than Ayn Rand.

I believe there's a difference between the "rich" and mega rich. The mega rich almost always get their money through nefarious means. We should literally strip wealth from these people. But of course, not with this government. This government would give it to black federal workers and trans latinx people. But with a new government, we should strip wealth and give it to those who rightfully deserve it and for programs that will launch us into the future. But sadly my fellow americucks believe that "they worked hard for it." :^)

You're looking at it from the perspective of what they pay vs what they have? Socialism doesn't work you greedy fuck. When those that take their 10 million + salaries and decide not to deal with assholes like you, who do you imagine will remain to foot the bill? Then you'll start campaigning to tax those that make 100k+ a year etc all so you can be a lazy fuck or defend lazy fucks.

Because if you believe that the surplus tax revenue will benefit society in any way you are delusional. Even if it does, due to the ever present corruption it will only do so at a decreasing rate...

On the other hand, by allowing the rich to remain rich they are inevitably helping society (although, not always the native one). This means they create jobs, donate money to causes, fuels innovation, and so on... Simple as that.

This.
Its even better in rich arms than poor actually. The rich (if smart and self made) will likelly invest most of the money in something that generates wealth, rather tham wasting ir on frivolities like an average nig. Thus resulting in creation of jobs and opportunities to earn money for an average Joe. Free money, on the other hand, does not help the people, only make them into lazy leeches, actually hurting them in the long term.

"I vote republican to keep this moron from realizing I'M THE ONLY ONE RUINING HIS LIFE".

That's literally why all the richest people are democrats, which I showed.

This is a very fun way of saying “give your political and economic power to Jews”
Taxation is theft. There is no argument.

Because billionaires effectively don't have to pay taxes, they can buy politicians to change the laws to save money. Or hire lawyers to find endless tax loopholes. Or just bribe the IRS.

>Continues to overegulate shit and stamp out monetizable ideas for the sake of some stupid secular code that doesn't even adhere to God let alone common sense and then continues to complain that some how the existence of mercantile meritocracy is the reason why hookers with a heart of gold don't exist.

Stop fucking sliding. In all fields.

But no one is suggesting we bring rich people down to the spending abilities of the average joe. Literally no one has proposed that. Also your argument is predicated on the myth that anyone who’s rich made it completely on their own, which completely ignores our progressive tax system and infrastructure that gave them the abilities to do it in the first place.

Your premise does not lead to your conclusion. If anything it sounds like you’re actually for raising taxes and the minimum wage.

>The image doesn’t say all rich people are bad you dunce.

This is the blantant bait for a slide thread.

this is democrat projection

>pretending like God wouldn’t have a left, social democratic economic system that was welfare heavy and taxed rich at a high rate.

You must be a Calvinist.

and how much do you think it costs them to go through all of that shit? they make bribes, find loopholes and do under-the-table deals because doing all of that ludicrously expensive and dangerous (because illegal) shit is because it costs less that paying taxes.

But why hasn't the system earned that money as much as you? You wouldn't have any money at all if the societal system didn't exist, why shouldn't you be obliged to give back to it? If taxation is theft, then so is enjoying the advantages of living in a society without helping the society exist.

the concept of who networked 2 machines together to share bits of information is so ambiguous as to be irrelevant to attempt to find an "inventor"

Socialism works just fine in norway and Denmark bud, you know, the happiest countries on the planet.

You must not be aware that the ultra wealthy statistically sit on their wealth rather than actually distribute it.

Said it best.

People really don't seem to understand that by its very nature the government will always spend money inefficiently. This is because people/teams that work for the government don't operate in a competitive environment. Private institutions need to operate better, faster and cheaper because they have competition.

The same goes with money spent by the rich. They're encouraged to spend money wisely since its their money. For example a development funded by private investors will always be better and cheaper than a government funded one since the latter doesn't really need to succeed. More jobs and growth happen when people spend money freely rather than the government.

>Because the rich will just fuck off into a country that doesn't discriminate against them, it's called "capital flight" and you'd understand it if you weren't a fucking commie shill.
SAGE

>doesn’t believe in the moon landing
>hasn’t seen urban cities pre and post EPA

Yup, it’s a republican.

The wealthy statistically stay in the same area after they’ve attained the wealth, and less than 10% actually move when taxes are raised. And the marginal tax rate was 90% at one point.

Congress doesn't raise taxes on itself you dumb nigger and the rich don't pay income tax, they pay capital gains, and moving that has not been suggested by anyone. Get the fuck off my board.

Yes. Fuck the ZOG. Let it all collapse. Unless a government is right wing and nationalist, it deserves no funding. Norway is nearly 10% Muslim now. Enjoy funding those Ahmeds with 70% taxes

As long as it doesn't go towards fucking leeches, I'm okay with it

I'll enjoy being a lot richer than you are, that's for sure.

Doesn’t want to have a debate so spams instead? I thought you hated leftists for doing that

Shoot yourself you subhuman kike.

>not entitled to the labor of others
And yet those who succeed in our current capitalist paradigm either have inherited their wealth, exploited the value produced through labor, or invented increasingly elaborate ways to avoid the cost of externalities that others have to pay for.

really gets the noggin joggin.

How’s it feel being a virgin?

The commies are suggesting it, so are plenty of socialists.
people who get rich through inheritance or whatever almost always piss their money away. Even if only half of the rich people made that money themselves, thats still a lot of money that people wouldnt bother making if they were taxed too much. In my country, the highest tax bracket is 45% so if I do 200000 dollars worth of work, I barely get to spend more than 100k, so why the fuck would I waste my effort on anything difficult enough to be worth paying 200k for?

Shoot yourself you subhuman kike.

>what is median disposable income
You have les because you pay so much in taxes.
>muh workers exploited
The LTV is akin to the flat earth theory of economics. Marginalism has BTFO'd it, leftist tranny.

because rich people will say "fuck it" then and move to china, putting you retards out of a job like you deserve it to sell you the same ware except it busts apart quicker for the same money.

Liberals and their logic.

Your logic is not based on any kind of statistics or historical precedence.

Why do leftest's believe that more money going to the government is going to help the middle class and the poor? Through out all of history it has done the opposite.

Because they have the worlds best lawyers and accountants to make sure they dont pay tax. Raising tax on the rich is a meme the rich are pushing to make absolutely sure you idiots stay poor. Its smoke and mirrors.

>exploited the value produced through labor
No such thing you marxist moron. The labor theory of value is horseshit and virtually no economist takes it seriously anymore. Value is subjective.

Every major economist is for raising taxes on the rich, this is a fact.

Keep crying discord tranny.

It has worked extremely well in America, it built the middle class in fact. But you wouldn’t know that because you spend all your time on this autists board.

>Value is subjective.
Which means it's perfectly fine to see it as exploitation.

How about we reduce the size of the federal government first.

The fact that "socialism" works in Scandinavian countries with totally different culture and history does not mean that it will work in the US. Also, don't ever mix up real socialism, which is typical in Americas and Eastern Europe versus the highly capitalistic welfare states in Western Europe.

It's funny when statistics are whining about how much wealth are the rich is sitting on. It's similar to the demagogue statement that 99% of wealth is in the hands of the 1%. And? Who cares? The world is still a better place than it was a 100 years ago or so, the main proof is the exorbitant population growth. Not to mention stuff like obesity and the list can go on. So, why do you care if your neighbor is richer if the general wellbeing is objectively better for everyone? Also, if Bill Gates gives a shitton of money to charity, is it not kind enough of him? Should he give more? Who are you to tell him/them what to spend their money on?

Which has nothing to do with the labor theory of value retarded cunt.
I'm not paying 70% taxes to fund a 56% white nation filled to the brim with leftist cunts.

>civilization will crumble if we don't let the kikes steal half your money

Taxes as used to pay for public services like road maintenance make sense, since everyone uses them (so it's just paying to maintain the nation you live in).
Why should rich people have to pay more to maintain their surroundings vs poor people, though? The question isn't "Why should rich people not pay more?"; it's "Why are poor people entitled to pay less?".
Most rich people make their money through hard work. Poorfags just can't admit that rich people are mentally superior and harder working in most cases.

That's actually what happens in my country tho, a lot of rich people "move" to Andorra so they can pay less taxes. A lot of businessmen and elite sportsmen do it, even when it's illegal. Raising taxes on the rich in the US is even harder when you take into account that every state has different state deductions and can make reforms in the tax plan at the state level, so you can't really stop the financial drain from going to other states where there's more deductions.

Why would I? Sure, I would for a while, but only until I found an easier job from which I could get about as much money

Read up on Marginal theory bugman leftypol faggot.

So the stagnant wage growth and the massively increasing wealth gap should cause no concern?

they'll just leave?
they already pay more taxes than you'll ever see

taxes are for slaves
we don't need them at all
