"cut the wealth of billionaires in half over 15 years, "

[Jim H - VA USA]

So says Bernie Sanders...https://berniesanders.com/issues/tax-extreme-wealth/
He says ..."Will raise an estimated $4.35 trillion over the next decade"
That's $435 billion additional tax revenue per year.
Right now... if the top 1% of US households (164 million households) or 1.64 million earn
$1,700,000 per year and pay right now about 20% of all federal tax revenue.
BUT if Bernie and the majority of the ignorant people on this board have their way...
according to Bernie these "billionaires" will have "cut the wealth of billionaires in half over 15 years,"
Hmmm... so if Bernie has his way and cuts these evil billionaires wealth in half... how will Bernie pay for the next 15 years?
Remember he is counting on these "billionaires" to pay $435 billion a year from their wealth which according to his plan will be reduced every year.
Which means the tax payments will be reduced. It's just simple economics.

We need more billionaires.

About half of Americans pay no federal income tax at all; the rest of us pay it for them.

The richest among us tend to pay the most taxes, generally about 27% for the top 1%. They pay so much more than most of us do. Personally, I am thankful and wish them even greater future success, but I do pay a tidy sum of taxes myself.

The wealthiest among us pay for most of the operations of the government, including schools, roads, law and order, defense, energy, medicare, etc.

This wealthiest among us owe us squat. They can take their money and run after firing everyone.

But instead, they decide to make more money by continuing to employ people who buy homes and other things, paying property, sales, social security and other taxes, while these employers are paying similar taxes themselves.

Demonizing the successful has to stop. We need to encourage success, not penalize it. Everyone would love to be successful. Everyone can be, if they strive to do so, every day.

 

[bripat9643]

The fact is allowing more to make billions is a good thing and it harms NO ONE.

Income and wealth inequality harms NO ONE.

What effects do income and wealth inequality have on democracy?

Billionaires are parasites who bribe corrupt politicians to create the legal institutions which allow the creation of vast private fortunes. It's long past time to bring back the top 74% tax bracket that Reagan blew up so productive workers' wages can rise again and exterminate our billionaire problem once and for all.

Ingenuity, perseverance, determination and competence are what allows the creation of vast fortunes. All government can do is get in the way.

Bernie, like most idiotic socialists, doesn't understand that income and wealth are 2 different things.

Even wealthy elite liberals would tell Bernie to pound sand if he came after their wealth.

 

[Oldestyle]

The notion that the 1% is just going to surrender half of their wealth is laughably naive to me! They'll simply move it somewhere that it won't be taken. That's what people that wealthy DO! So what Bernie's "plan" will do is create a stampede of wealth vacating the US which will devastate our economy. When that happens and tax revenues actually decrease...idiots like Bernie Sanders will scratch their heads and wonder why!

Once again you cannot demonstrate any harm that comes from wealth inequality.

How about this?

Effects of economic inequality - Wikipedia

"Central Banking economist Raghuram Rajan argues that 'systematic economic inequalities, within the United States and around the world, have created deep financial 'fault lines' that have made [financial] crises more likely to happen than in the past' – the Financial crisis of 2007–08 being the most recent example.[64]

"To compensate for stagnating and declining purchasing power, political pressure has developed to extend easier credit to the lower and middle income earners – particularly to buy homes – and easier credit in general to keep unemployment rates low.

"This has given the American economy a tendency to go 'from bubble to bubble' fueled by unsustainable monetary stimulation."

 

[georgephillip]

Dims are the morons who insisted on the shutdown.

Why did they do that?

Look at all that winning.

 

[dblack]

Yes. Government is jealous of the power of private wealth. Always has been. They'll grab whatever they can get - whatever we we let them.

 

[bripat9643]

They did it to destroy the economy and thereby win an election. Anyone who believes they did it save lives is a fool who doesn't understand Democrats.

In other words, government is responsible.

So to sum it all up the united states is divided by class. Yet speaking this fact is said to not be good. Why? I'm not saying to change a thing I'm just calling out a fact. Why is it bad to state we are divided by socio economic class?

The term "divided by class" is meaningless. All it means is that people earn different amounts of money.

Well at least you are trying to answer. Still those two opinions dont prove anything or justify theft

 

[initforme]

Yes but different classes can not get along for the most part. Each class lives entirely differently and in reality will not come together. It's not a bad thing it's the way it is yet for some reason some say it shouldn't be discussed.
