Taxing the very rich hasn't worked

2018-07-29 18:10:31 UTC  

It's decreased jobs

2018-07-29 18:10:32 UTC  

I wanna see this after he types his paragraph

2018-07-29 18:10:48 UTC  

Ronald Reagan's trickle down plan created millions of jobs

2018-07-29 18:10:56 UTC  

"Trumped-up trickle down" lmao

2018-07-29 18:11:01 UTC  

lmao

2018-07-29 18:11:02 UTC  

Why do libs say that was a disaster

2018-07-29 18:11:12 UTC  

I really don't know

2018-07-29 18:11:12 UTC  

So, economics is clear: taxing normally is not good for the economy. You just take money out of the market, and more often than not it doesn't do enough good to overcome the opportunity cost of that loss. However, there is a difference between theory in practice. The rich don't always use their money to help the economy. More often than not they just sit on it and buy more for themselves. It becomes necessary, therefore, for the government to tax them a little, to use the money the way the rich should use it on their own. Also, some social services are needed in every nation and need funding. The rich can sacrifice a seventh house to help out people. So, my ideal tax system is for no taxes on poor and middle class, decent taxes on the rich, and low taxes on corporations and businesses.

Bill clinton took credit riding off of Reagans economy

2018-07-29 18:11:48 UTC  

@LOTR_1 Why not low taxes for everyone

2018-07-29 18:11:59 UTC  

Why become rich if you're going to get taxed to shit

2018-07-29 18:12:05 UTC  

Where is the motivation to get wealthy

2018-07-29 18:12:19 UTC  

You shouldn't dilute someone's hard work to everyone else

2018-07-29 18:12:24 UTC  

Because its not like we make them poor as rats for being rich lmao.

2018-07-29 18:12:40 UTC  

they are still incredibly well off.

2018-07-29 18:12:55 UTC  

With your plan

2018-07-29 18:13:02 UTC  

We'd eventaully tax humongous amounts

2018-07-29 18:13:11 UTC  

Because humans are inherently greedy

2018-07-29 18:13:19 UTC  

The rich would no longer be rich

2018-07-29 18:13:23 UTC  

Because everyone would be the same

2018-07-29 18:13:26 UTC  

Then everyone is poor

2018-07-29 18:13:27 UTC  

Money has no value

2018-07-29 18:13:30 UTC  

No one creates jobs

2018-07-29 18:13:32 UTC  

The US falls

2018-07-29 18:13:39 UTC  

And it collapses with nothing left but communism

2018-07-29 18:13:42 UTC  

Like the great Mao did to China

2018-07-29 18:14:12 UTC  

Build

Wall

2018-07-29 18:14:16 UTC  

WALL

2018-07-29 18:14:25 UTC  

I rather put money towards a wall than global warming funding

2018-07-29 18:14:37 UTC  

Fix global warming funding

2018-07-29 18:14:39 UTC  

35% corp taxes 🤢

2018-07-29 18:14:41 UTC  

Waste of money

2018-07-29 18:14:45 UTC  

Taxes suck

2018-07-29 18:14:51 UTC  

Tim Cook yearly income: $10.3 million. 30% tax takes $3 million roughly. Leaves the poor guy with 7 million a year. So poor.

2018-07-29 18:14:55 UTC  

The rich are rich because they outplayed other people in the socioeconomic ladder, why is it their job to pick up the slack for people that failed at adulthood?

2018-07-29 18:15:03 UTC  

Air is cleaner right now than it was in 1990

2018-07-29 18:15:08 UTC  

@Boethiah Finally someone gets it

2018-07-29 18:15:10 UTC
