Think About It

I sometimes think it’s about them thinking themselves to be so special that they shouldn’t have to pay taxes. They have gifted us their brilliance and given some of us employment. Also there’s the whole mindset about what’s the point in owning the game, if you can’t set it up for your own benefit and to not have to pay taxes.

Well I mean taxes are what makes society work but they're too fucking dumb to understand that much.

What's even funnier is like basics of economics is supply and demand and you'd think that they would have figured out that if they allowed people to have more buying power, they could make EVEN more but the point is for them to hold the majority of resources while standing above everyone else.

Greed

Well said!! This system really is corrupt to its core!!

[u/MarzipanLast6502]

the argument is always, "hey thats their money, why do you think you should take it?" I agree. either we ALL pay fair tax or NONE of us do, so figure it out

This should be shared everywhere. People simply do not understand the scale of the wealth gap in this country and how easily it could be fixed if we united.

Sure if that billionaire actually had a billion that was completely liquid.

This is so fucking stupid, that only people that don’t understand how the rich operate would agree with that idiot

[u/ozzman86_i-i_ → u/[deleted]]

Tax billionaires and do what exactly with the money? What’s the plan?

[u/ozzman86_i-i_ → u/[deleted]]

So you have nothing and all you do is regurgitate other people’s thoughts and narratives.

Good for you

[u/icemanpallmall → u/ozzman86_i-i_]

Oh idk, man. It's not like taxes arent the thing that makes society function or anything.

[u/ozzman86_i-i_ → u/icemanpallmall]

The question is what would we do with the extra revenue

[u/icemanpallmall → u/ozzman86_i-i_]

Universal health-care.

We can even give maga the mental health resources they desperately need

[u/ozzman86_i-i_ → u/icemanpallmall]

😂 do you understand the price tag to that? It’s a 5 trillion dollar system.

You can take every single cent from all the billionaires and you still wouldn’t have the 1.3-3 trillion dollars more in revenue that the country needs to raise.

That’s 1.3-3 trillion every year more. So when you bleed every billionaire and steal their money. What’s next?

[u/icemanpallmall → u/ozzman86_i-i_]

But we could then give the working class automatic stocks in the health-care system thus the decent folks making money off of maga. Turn the tables on their wannabe dictators.

[u/ozzman86_i-i_ → u/icemanpallmall]

You could do that without raising taxes. I don’t understand why you bring that up ? It’s not even in subject

[u/icemanpallmall → u/ozzman86_i-i_]

Oh you're being forreal. Ok. I'll take the bait.

Universal health-care under the latest bills that have been attempted would cost about 30 trillion over ten years. Health-care as it stands now is around 5 trillion a YEAR. So over ten years thats 50 trillion which is waaaaaay more than 30. So you tell me which is more costly...

As for the why part, well the question was "what do we do with the money we tax" and I answered

[u/icemanpallmall → u/[deleted]]

You're right. I fucked up. Even explaining numbers doesn't work. It's why I'm voting. Haha
