The rich provide most jobs.
Tax the rich they’ll just move those companies away and you’ll have to pay more taxes.

Taxing “wealth” is essentially taxing unrealized gains. Slippery slope for regular people

IN…before some wealthy apologist redditor,making 25k/yr, says it’s still more than the bottom 40% combined of some crap.

The measure of any country is how effectively it taxes, because everything flows from that. Until countries counter tax havens, they will continue to creep towards revolution.

Because it’s income that’s taxed, not wealth. What a click bait headline.

Yeah… We don’t tax wealth. We tax income. How much of their income did they pay?

That’s the Republican way, and a subset of those rich folks know who to see to get the best government their money can buy. **GOP = Greed is Our Policy**

Who the fuck pays taxes on their total wealth? This is rage bait. Think for 2 seconds.

*Everyone* should pay according to (a) their income and (b) a fair scale — but this post is exactly the kind of confusion that keeps us stuck in disreality. Wealth is not income and the ability to generate income is not guaranteed. Haven’t you met someone who was raking it in with a good job and was diagnosed with something horrible? Or a family whose breadwinner is killed?
If you can’t make a good faith argument that maintains common sense you’ve lost me — and likely will lose the fight. Try again.

That wealth is mostly busy generating things for you to consume.

lol take any middle class person and see how much they paid taxes on their “NET WORTH”. It’s not far from these numbers. This is nonsensical reporting.

This is one of those areas where a universally acceptable concept like ensuring the tax code doesn’t let the rich use mechanics unavailable to the rest of us to legally avoid taxes gets hijacked by stupid people I just can associate with.
