With only around 500 billionaires in the country

[Cecilie1200]

Since most of them are living off their capital gains income, we need to raise that. For passive income over 500 grand, raise it to say 45% on those suckers.

Watch them have a fit, it will never happen as they are in control.

So many hide their money in overseas banks and pass it through non profits they set up, they have so many ways they avoid paying taxes. They want to live in the US, then make them pay, they can live in China, Russia or the ME, and lets let the door hit them on the way out.

We "need" to raise that? WHY do we "need" to raise that? Because they're keeping too damned much of the money THEY earned via THEIR investments, and you're not getting enough money to which you have no right or entitlement whatsoever? Am I the first person you've ever encountered who's told you that you're a greedy leech?

Most people do hide their assets when scum try to steal it from them. People are quirky that way.

If the rich leave the country, how are you planning to finance your welfare lifestyle, cupcake? Are YOU going to get off your dead ass and employ all those people and pay all those taxes? What, precisely, is it that you are capable of contributing to society that's going to replace the people you mistakenly feel you have a right to disdain?

Why are the expected to carry the weight of the other 300 million?

They aren't. The millionaires are as well. . Oh and why? Because they pay such low wages that the 300 million need welfare to get buy. Pay more in wages or pay more in taxes.

Yeah, it's their fault for paying you like an ignorant, unskilled mook, not yours for being an ignorant, unskilled mook.

Consider the fact that they're tolerating your presence, and generously not charging you for the annoyance factor.

Neither me or my wife is unskilled. Continue to spew Fox News propaganda it shows the low iq you have. You think we should tolerate the rich assholes presence when we come for what's ours? I don't. Burn their homes,throw them in prison cells,spread the wealth!

I realize that you think your existence is endlessly fascinating to everyone, as are your pathetic justifications for your existence, but trust me, just knowing that you're on Earth was more information than I wanted.

Continue to spew your DNC greed talking points. Shows the low character you have.

If I'm tolerating YOUR asshole presence, you can tolerate people who are productive and useful.

"What's yours"? Punkin, what the fuck do you think is "yours"? If I take the money in my bank account, pick a stock, invest the money in that stock, and get a dividend, at what point in that fucking equation do you even enter, let alone become entitled to a cut? And let's don't even talk about the "kill the golden goose", liver-eating envy and stupidity of your "burn their houses" plan.

Unless you're suddenly going to become a whole lot more useful, productive, and valuable in the next five minutes, this country needs the wealthy far more than it needs you. Of course, judging by your "brilliance", this country needs pretty much anyone more than it needs you.

They earned it? Eh, they sat on it is more likely.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett, who runs Berkshire Hathaway, made about $37 million each day this year, a new survey from Wealth-X shows.

That breaks down to $1.54 million per hour each day (yes, even while he's sleeping). It also works out to be just over $25,694 per minute.

• Warren Buffett: He made $12.7 billion this year or ~$37 million per day; ~$1.54 million per hour; or ~$25,694 per minute.
• Bill Gates: He earned $11.5 billion this year which works out to be ~$33.3 million per day; $1.38 million per hour; or ~$23,148 per minute.
• Sheldon Adelson: The casino mogul earned $11.4 billion this year which means he made ~$33 million per day; ~$1.38 million per hour; or $22,946 per minute.
• Jeff Bezos: He made $11.3 billion this year or ~$32.7 million per day; $1.36 million per hour; or ~$22,745 per minute.

I mean just for breathing they are making money. The don't even need to move, just keep their rib cage going. How could we ever think of raising their taxes. Shame on us.

They don't make money for breathing, puke. Otherwise, you'd have money, instead of sitting here, bellyaching your jealousy at us. They make money for having invested and risked money, and having employed other people.

Whenever you're ready to answer the question of "why do we NEED to raise taxes" instead of blathering puerile rationalizations for doing so, you let me know.

FYI, your "it would be okay, no REALLY" did more to convince me that you're a greedy, petty sack of crap than your last post is. You're definitely working on the law of diminishing returns here, Mensa Girl. Can't wait to see the next low you reach.

 

[Cecilie1200]

There shouldn't be one billionaire in this country.

Yeah, the whole country should be nothing but grasping, consuming drones like you. That'll be great. What a plan.

That's disgusting. NO ONE should be able to make that much money.

Why? Because you can't?

 

[Cecilie1200]

As long as they pay taxes to make up for their use of roads, police,etc and pay their workers right...I have no problem with people becoming richer then their wildest dreams!

How much do you pay in taxes for your use of roads, police, etc.? Do you even know how each of those public services are funded?

And how much do you pay your employees? I bet I know the answer.

Actually? Most of them do.

Why are the expected to carry the weight of the other 300 million?

Simple social justice it's the responsibilty of those 500 to take their wealth and level the playing field for those who have less. At least according to some.

Why are the expected to carry the weight of the other 300 million?

Why do you give a fuck about the problems of billionaires? As far as I am concerned they can take their precious money and take a hike if they feel that having full access to a compliant government in the best country in the world to be wealthy is just too expensive.

So anyone who objects to being persecuted and looted should just get the hell out? Is that the liberal conception of "equality?"

"Social justice" is a euphemism meaning "injustice." The term "Justice" doesn't require any qualifiers in front of it. Putting one there converts the term to the opposite of its original meaning.

I give a fuck because i believe EVERY AMERICAN should be treated equally. I don't hoist one person up over another.

When everyone of us can just pick up a phone and talk to their congressman and fully expect action on our personal behalf then you talk about about treating everyone equal.

So never, in other words.

When Congressmen have to represent 700,000 people that's never going to be a reality. They made sure to secure their fiefdoms 90 years ago when they froze the size of the House.

All those billionaires have the incredible luxury of a government that is responsive to their wishes and protects their interests, what do you think that is worth? They should pay much more for the privilege of being able to purchase political power with such sickening ease.

You mean preventing them from being robbed or murdered is some kind of special privilege?

 

[bripat9643]

Why do you give a fuck about the problems of billionaires?

I care about everyone's rights and freedom whether their net worth is a billion dollars or a thousand.

As far as I am concerned they can take their precious money and take a hike if they feel that having full access to a compliant government in the best country in the world to be wealthy is just too expensive.

Really? You think they should all just up and leave, huh? I'm curious, if that happens who is going to pay for all of your Socialism?

They aren't paying their fair share anyway. How long do you think they will remain super rich without the advantages of being here, and all the free shit the government gives them?

You have all the exact same advantages. What you don't have is brains, talent and ambition. Government doesn't provide those.

Surplus value is acquired by the capitalist in the form of profit: the capitalist owns the means of production , so the workers have no choice but to sell their labor-power to the capitalists in order to live.The surplus value is over and above what their wages and benefits are as paid to the workers and to what they produce , it goes into the pockets of the owners of capital

"Surplus value" is a Marxist concept, so you just proved you're a moron.

Sheldon Adelson makes it here, and gives it to Israel. We can't even begin to talk about all the non profits that money is filtered through. How about those TV preachers, how about the drug companies and insurances that do not pay out. We live in a very money hungry world, and triple down economics does not work, because as Pope Francis says , your depending on the goodness of people. That is why we have lost most of our manufacturing. Our exports are what 1/2 of our imports.

The problem is not the billionaire it is the congressman that gets bought.

You're an idiot

That's like blaming the gun but not the guy who pulls the trigger. We live in a plutocracy, you see the wealthy and the government as two different things. They are all one power structure, our vote has become useless and conservatives actually like it that way for some reason

Man are you ever a brainwashed tool.

A tax on capital gains is a tax on jobs. That's what you're proposing. IF the rich ever did all decide to leave this country, turds like you would be crying the loudest.

Spoken just like a thug. What's to stop the guy down the street from doing the same thing to you?

Idle wealth should be a liability.

There's no such thing as idle wealth.
