What does higher taxes imply as far as the country though? If I'm still broke does it matter what tax margins they pay?

If it means lower taxes for the middle class then I'd understand

Don't vote for anyone pushing for 70% tax.
If you ever win the lottery, get rich from an invention, plain old gold digging, run a business that takes off, sign the fattest sports contract, etc., you are going to fall into the rich tax bracket and you are going to get your o-ring blown out.

This def one of the dumbest things ever posted on the coli.. the fukk u been smoking? Talking like a schizophrenic dust head describing his delusions

How about this, if we're speaking for our hypothetical future rich selves then I'm going to say that my future wealhty self is fine with a higher marginal tax rate. I'll still be able to ball on the rest of you broke bois.

When has high tax stopped rich people? The amount of resources available to them to avoid tax is beyond us.

When only a few people own half or more of the wealth in the world, someone has to deal with it. Amerikkka is basically corporate country. Workers get fukked in the ass 24/7 and most of them take it.
Fire at will states is just madness.

Fall sick and you’re done for life. Can’t even go the A&E without incurring hundreds or thousands.


As that woman said, who gives shyt about low unemployment rate when the majority of the jobs are shyt. It’s unrealistic to expect every single person to have a high paying job.

This is why I don't think having that high of a tax does anything for lower class. The truth is America needs corporate reform laws that limit these giant corps ability to exploit. Truth is corporate America runs this country. You have shareholders who demand high dividends, which forces corps to cut corners; you have politicians essentially employed by these corporations who pass laws that make it legal for them to exploit the working class; and then you have the working class who are forced to play by these rules, partly because of those very laws, but also because the system makes no exception for people who don't want to participate. Don't want to play the game? Ok, no insurance. No insurance? Ok pay govt through Obamacare (not a fan of that aspect of Obamacare but I see why it was put in place), and pray nothing catastrophic happens to you.

This system cannot sustain itself any longer. It wasn't built to be able to withstand the economy being led by these mega corporations. The education system, healthcare system is in shambles because of people who actively push to repress major reform. Due to this, the economy is going to fold into a really severe depression. And when that does happen, it will affect everyone from top to bottom. When we all suffer together is when things will change.

By the way these corporations are international. If things get bad here, they can relocate anywhere in the world, or at least shift the main focus abroad. However, there are way more variables in play that corporations can't control abroad, which is why they would like to stay here in America, where exploitation is easy access and the government is easily manipulated. Once we put reform on the fore front and commit to it, corps will be shook.

By the way, corporations aren't entities unto themselves like people think. The people at the very top decide all the choices made. When a CEO fukks up, it's not the company itself acting to replace him, as if doctrine is stronger than the entity itself; it's shareholders that get together and make choice to replace the figurehead, and usually in a symbolic act (firing them and leaking it to the media), not a literal one (CEOs get "retirement" packages).

All this goes back to the idea that people are rich/successfull because they are somewhat "chosen", so in their eyes there is no real reason to share with the "unworthy". EXCEPT charity and philantropy, because that is more about who is giving than who is receiving : with taxes you can't do the photo op/attach your name, with philantropy you can. This goes hand in hand with the condescending idea that poorer people are in their position by their own fault, and on top of that would misuse whatever solidarity money they may receive through taxes. Add to that the "self-made man" myth, Thatcher-type "There is no society" and the US antagonism towards "the State" and you easily understand why taxation is damn near the devil to some. (The US being the world cultural leader, whatever happens there impacts the world through multinationals and whatnot).

Google temporarily embarrassed/displaced millionaire syndrome. It's actually starting to get looked at empirically.

So don't vote for a 70% tax in case of the .000000000001% chance I strike the lottery or become a billionaire?

that 70% tax on income will only hurt rich workers like athletes and entertainers who get paid off of salary. Real wealthy ppl make money off capitial gains of investments which won't be taxed at 70% and they do other types of wizardry.
in other words ultimately hurts black millionaires more than white ones
i don't like rich cacs, but being taxed on more than half of your earnings :patrice: how bron gonna buy the Cavs
