3 People (Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos & Warren Buffett) are richer than the poorest 50% of Americans

[jillian]

And the bottom half of America live like kings and queens compared with 99.9% of people throughout history.....capitolism is working.

wealth disparity is greater now than at any time in my lifetime.

but nice delusion you hate there.

It is probably not a good idea to make a hero out of a woman who spent her final years with Alzheimer's. Now that I think about it, so did Reagan, so, at least there is some consistency on the Right.

Wow, who knew? Just when I thought Progressives could stoop no lower, another one comes along and proves me wrong.

you support pedophiles and sexual predators.... you have no moral high ground, trumptard

 

[BuckToothMoron]

what's wrong with America? WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA?

Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett are richer than poorest half of US

Hey, don’t worry about it. Those guys are Libs. I’m sure they will take it upon themselves to do the patriotic thing and distribute the money to those in the bottom 50%. They aren’t like those greedy Koch brothers who will just use the money to get their guys elected so they never have to pay taxes.

Idk about bezos but the other 2 probably GIVE BACK more than 50% of what the rest of the entire country does. So what exactly is the point here?

 

[Vandalshandle]

We expect the wealthy to contribute to the society from which they prosper

They do, they pay more in taxes in a single year than most people will pay in their entire lifetimes, sounds like a fair share to me. Why don't you get your lazy fat ass welfare types working and contributing instead of sponging off the rest of us.

How much does Trump pay in income taxes?

Ah...did you finish high school?

Well, you seem so sure that the rich pay so much more taxes than the rest of us, i just assumed that you knew how much the rich pay in taxes. Quite frankly, I feel quite sure that I pay more income tax than Trump, but I can't prove it, since he will not release them. He is on record, however, of carrying forward investment loss deductions for years, which effectively reduce taxes due to zero.

You asked how much Trump pays in "income" taxes, pea brain. Here have an eye roll

How silly of me. We all know that Trump pays no income taxes. Besides, the GOP is proposing to eliminate the Alternative Minimum Tax, just to make sure that if all other tax avoidance options fail, he won't get caught with that Catch 22.

We have studied the RW playbook:

You might want to ask Rachel Maddow about that.

 

[Desperado]

So what?
Do you want to strip their wealth away from them?
Set a mandatory wealth limit (No American can be worth more than 10Million dollars or in your eyes is that too much?
You are nothing more than a jealous whinny communist

 

[Vandalshandle]

How much does Trump pay in income taxes?

I don't care.

I do care what I pay in income taxes.

Oh, I don't care what you pay either.

Trump sincerely appreciates that you don't care what he pays in income taxes!

Why do we continue to help them accumulate wealth?

Who said anything about taking their wealth from them

How about we stop helping those three make money and help the 160 million make money?

The AMT screws over many middle to upper class families idiot, something it was never intended to do. You know those families where both the husband and wife work a job like being a teacher or some government job and they have a bunch of kids.

All 3 of them accumulate wealth because we spend our money with them. Do you think you can get through life without a computer? Because if you don't spend your money with Microsoft you're just going to help some other CEO accumulate wealth. I don't get the liberal mindset that at some certain point someone has made too much money. What do you want gates to do, close up the company and stop producing stuff anymore? I guess all the jobs he gives to people right now are expendable as long as it means 1 guy isn't getting too rich right?

You think if they don't get their tax cut, we will have to go through life without a computer?

What has Warren Buffet ever done for us?

Oh I get it, so you think their wealth is accumulated simply because they get tax cuts. It's not because of the billions of dollars people spend with their businesses. Do you know how much of buffet's wealth has gone to charity? How much of yours has?

You are right, of course. We all should be grateful of all the jobs that Microsoft has outsourced to Asia. I always enjoy talking to customer support guys with Indian accents who live in Delhi. It is a form of cultural exchange!

Outsourcing to make a couple extra bucks for shareholders is definitely a negative. I won't argue that. But you're just ignoring the fact that thousands of Americans are employed by these people. So anyone who says "what have they ever done for us" is being an idiot

I don't. I do, however, believe that Trump's tax return showed that he pays millions, instead of the none the haters claim.

Buffet is a good example of someone who makes billions off of the economy but contributes nothing to it

Our wealthiest citizens benefit from much more than a favorable tax rate. They benefit from corporate subsidies, government protection of their investments and a tax code that allows them to hide their earnings
