However

Imagine this, someone who makes a million dollars a year

I do think it's a big problem how most people think that money be spent

Rye - the problem is that there are lots of government spending programs that do nothing for us.

they get taxed this year at a rate of 27%

that's $270,000 of their dollars going to taxes.

Let's imagine you cut their taxes by 3%.

They're now paying $240,000. That's 30,000 less.

Depending on the field

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

You're welcome

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.
