that 3%
is the difference between an entire job being created.
The margins are actually SUPER THIN when it comes to taxes.
yep, that pays my entire salary plus 10K for the rich person.
Frankly this is how I see my political views: I'm libertarian socially (for people's rights); and I'm frankly authoritarian when it comes to business and capitalism because of the absurd imbalance of wealth
That million dollars a year?
For someone who operates on pass-through tax brackets
such as myself, as the owner of an LLC
The problem Tiger is that authoritarianism in economy only makes the imbalance of wealth worse.
If my company pulls a million dollars
because Rich people can pay experts to find loopholes.
that tax rate applies directly to me
I can't.
Honestly I am in favor of forcing businesses who have created an empire of wealth in our country, forcing them to stay and keep paying in to the country that made them
That seems like common sense
Then we can expect the tax to balance out and expect them to not ruin us based on a 3% tax increase
I get the impression you've never been taught to see money as a commodity, only as a score of some sort.
If these patriots would leave America because we want to raise taxes on them, they may as well be hung
wew
That would surely solve all our problems
That'd be authoritarian.
sure, executing the ruling class solves everything
just look at the french revolution
Nah, that would just add massive disincentives to the economy.
The entire point of money is that it's a commodity that is a substitute for other commodities.
Why work hard to be rich? It will just be taken from you.
don't work hard to be rich
work hard to provide something to your community

If a person grows apples
And that's all they do
All they can use to pay a person for things they need
is apples.
If not everybody needs apples
The person who only trades in apples is fucked.
wat
The point of money is that a person can exchange their apples for money, and use that money to buy things from people who don't need apples.
It's a wildcard commodity.
And so long as currency is used and exchanged, a person who is willing to take those apples to another market can continue to buy apples from the person who only grows apples
and exchange those apples for more money.
The entire basis of capitalism.
that scenario is already assuming that money of some form exists
in a gift economy, or any society without money, he could just distribute the apples as needed, and be given what he wants if others won't miss it
