@RBReich Yeah and they could give away 100% of their wealth (destroying our economy in the process) and those 4 billion people would get around $40k each. Fundamentally changing nothing. And probably killing a few billion people in the process.
Communists not grasping basic math is funny
@DarrigoMelanie Taxing wealth is not an option. It’s a one time payment and it’s not enough to fundamentally change anyone’s circumstance. It simultaneously actually damages low mid and high income families by destroying the companies they own and work at, ruins retirements and pensions, etc
@DarrigoMelanie So if you taxed all these billionaires a 100% wealth tax and split it up with the poorest 50% of people. Each person would get $40k ish. One time payment. And let’s say you could do it without destroying everything (you can’t), Would anything fundamentally change for the better?
@mattchinthis@4TaxFairness So corporations, their tens of millions of employees destroyed, pensions lost, retirement accounts decimated… for what? So the tax revenue could fully fund the government for like maybe 1 yr? Question: when everything is destroyed to pay bills for year 1. What happens in year 2?
@4TaxFairness unrealized capital gains are a made up number based on speculation. It’s not money until it’s “realized”.
Do you understand that these people selling this capital to pay wealth taxes would ravage the lower to middle class, destroy jobs and pensions and still not fix anything?
@RBReich Fun math
18.2 million / 150k employees = $121
27.4 mil / 2.1 mil employees = $13
If the ceos made $0, that’s how much more the workers would make more per year
Don’t listen to dumb fuck communists like Robert here. They don’t understand the problems or have real solutions.
@ProudSocialist Socialism boils down to murder and famine to the tune of 100 million lives lost. Capitalism boils down to lifting billions out of poverty and creating more wealth for those that participate than the world could have ever imagined.
@Chetanaparmar1@danielgoyal You realize these people don’t have billions of dollars sitting around right? They have equity in businesses they built that employ millions of people.
Tell them to pay their employees more, that’s fine, but don’t be retarded and jealous about money that doesn’t even exist
@MatrixMysteries That’s actually not that bad considering he financed it for 7 fucking years!?! If Im loaning someone $100k for 7 years, I better make $50k
@LindaBr40292791@ProudSocialist 100+ million bodies would suggest that anyone proudly wearing a “socialist” label is, in fact, the most successfully indoctrinated person in any room.
It’s a failed ideology.
Meanwhile capitalism continues to pull more and more out of poverty and save failed commie experiments
@DarrigoMelanie “Socialism” doesn’t mean “tax funded programs” or “safety nets”.
And don’t ignore the fact that all those things you listed are ran like shit by the government with ever increasing price tags for reduced quality or failing services.
@allenanalysis Imagine thinking there’s a smoking gun in these files and the Dems just decided not to put it out there at any point in the last 10-12 years, while they literally invented crimes to charge trump with during that time.
@RBReich Thanks for openly admitting it was the democrats keeping the government shutdown. Only once they became less united in their desire for the shutdown did they finally vote to re open.
Every one of your posts you stupidly admit you are wrong without realizing it. It’s hilarious.
