Yes, taxes can be used to pay for improvements to daily life.

The logical contortions based on illegitimate assumptions that you guys go through to arrive at such conclusions is stunning. But it's still total bullshit. BTW - most folks understand that the yachts, jewelry, private jets are mere symbolic of the actual wealth-hoarding & debt-shuffling.

Also, it would starve worthless parasites on humanity like the Cato Institute. So, two independent good things, even with no revenue.

Oh please — spare us the b.s.

look at this little bitch i do not trust him

That’s silly. Distinguishing that wealth as special is strange as it’s got much less velocity than non billionaire wealth which circulates and generates activity beyond pushing up valuations.

Those billionaires dicks ain’t gonna suck themselves, so it’s nice of you to do it!

Whatever bitch

Sure, Jan. Most of their wealth is hidden away in untaxed funds for their great-great-great grandchildren or in stock buybacks. We don't need to protect billionaires. We need to protect small businesses which actually serve their communities.

Shut this old baby up.

Fuck you

They're billionaires. They will be fine

Arsewater.

So if we tax billionaires we will have less of them? Perfect. Where do I sign up?

This is a steaming pile of propaganda bullshit. Tax that wealth heavily. Don't let them lie to you.

Epstein Class propaganda.

Cool, let's take the businesses too then

I’m just here for the ratio

Cool. Let's forego the tax, then, and just have those companies become worker-owned. Then everyone can be responsible for employing people, building things, and funding research instead of just a few who have gotten lucky and enjoy the massive advantage of capital compounding over time.

Walmart, conversely, employs 2 million people, all for the low cost of taxes subsidizing their shitty salaries

We need to unionize the FUCK out of all those jobs.

Only a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of "billionaire wealth" (does that make it special somehow?) is earned by the billionaire. The rest is stolen from the people who actually worked for it. Call it a tax if you want, but if the billionaire didn't earn it, I don't know why we let them have it

Also, no one thinks it’s “free lunch”. But the money has to come from somewhere and things worked much better when the money came from entities that actually have money.

Sure, but tax them anyway.

All I'm hearing here is an argument to also tax corporations more so... yes?

Tax billionaires and you get fewer billionaires is what I heard.

Also a major reason to tax the rich is to remove the huge amount of power and influence it gives them. Case in point the god damn Cato institute. Founded by the Koch brothers.

Peeing on people is not trickle down economics, it’s just being an asshole

Is financing right wing think tanks to launder their opinions productive business capital?

keep it

🤣🤣🤣

Lol fuck you. 🤣

It's like taking a bomb away from them, no one should just walk around with that kind of destructive power

‘Here is why it would be a mistake to do something that inconveniences rich people’ by ‘a man employed by rich people to write these articles’

Now do the CEO:worker pay ratios over the years and explain how this fits with your thesis Spoiler: it doesn't

And how much capital is being wasted on massive public debt payments bc the richest don’t want to pay their fair share?

oh no they might have to sell some shares, so sad

Sure Jan 🙄

We're taxing you 100%

Oh, it’s you.

Oh no! How will we afford our stock buybacks if we have to pay more in taxes. (You already get a deduction for your labor, 100% depreciation for your buildings, and tax credits for research). I wonder what's missing from this list that is causing the companies to pay tax?

Tell that to the postwar period under FDR you soggy whelp

The Wealth Inequality in the United States Wikipedia page shows that the top 1% of American households hold roughly 31.7% to 32.5% of the nation's total wealth, while the bottom 50% hold around 2.3% to 2.5%

Yah, "building things" Mark Zuckerberg operates a private jet fleet featuring a Gulfstream G650ER (registered as N68885) and an $80 million Gulfstream G700 (registered as N3880)

The three-day wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy, is estimated to have cost between $46.5 million and $55.6 million (roughly €40 million to €48 million). Yah, research and building things ...

We are not. They underestimate us. That works in our favor. The day of reckoning is coming. They are afraid.

Anyway you all need to get real jobs

Y'all are gonna get roasted for this and you absolutely deserve it

- group of people who never heard of private equity

It’s amazing to me that the Cato Institute been bullied off of Bluesky already.

boom got em

What a dickhead

get fucked

Also please tell me how billionaires donated hundreds of millions to political campaigns is for the benefit of anyone but themselves and does not create a rot in the body politic.

Please tell me the value of share buy programs as part of your thesis.

Well, not in this economy.

What utter horse shit, amazing workers require social security to survive meanwhile he has more wealth than he can use in 10 lifetimes, nobody is buying this trickle down lie any more

Shill ass bitch

just a quick pointer but I was trying to sway public opinion on libertarianism, I probably wouldn't lead by publicly fellating the entire billionaire class.

Young fogey sings for his supper.

fuck the rich

Haha sure Jan / insert meme here You’re garbage.

Nice ratio.

😂🤣😂. Same old right-wing bullshit.

Sorry, Real Boy Charlie McCarthy . Nobody is buying this ancient trickledown bullshit.

The shit eating grin of a man fed by the saggy teat of the billionaires. It's a wonder why he would say such a thing.

Taxing your wealth is the moderate solution

Tax them into fucking oblivion. The world is better off if they no longer exist.

Are you that stupid or do you just think everyone else is?

You posted this with no embarrassment. Fascinating.

I don’t want a wealth tax but borrowing against your unrealized gains should be a taxable event

Nice ratio

Let me guess. A billionaire paid you to post this drivel.

Why do you frauds even bother to post here? Go back to your hellhole on X.

And pray tell: how is that helping people who have lived their whole lives in poverty?

I qp'd with this :)

OK great and then more small businesses can maybe compete with the Walmarts of the world? Yeah wow that sounds awful. Although now that you mention it, a good trust could fund a company better than a billionaire could, so maybe the takeaway is "guillotines are more effective than taxes" 🤔

Fuck off.

You should probably use this over on X where all the stupid billionaire simps congregate

A few percent of billions of dollars is actually also a very large number of dollars. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

A question you experts would know the answer to: Do the oligarch's anuses all taste the same or are there different flavors depending upon which drugs they take?

You come up with a way to restrain the individual from destroying the society without violating your principles and I will once again countenance the idea that libertarian ideas are ideologically cohesive.

You guys are a joke, lol! Fake news

And? Businesses should pay their fair share of taxes. Just like the their employees and clients.

never trust unrepretent addicts to be honest about their addictions

The billionaire class is finally realizing they are going to be hunted for sport soon.

There are no good billionaires. They all got there with wage theft. Tax them. The world will be better with fewer.

Less private equity, fewer billionaires? Fantastic! Sign me up!

I feel like billionaires are forgetting that confiscatory taxation is the *nice* option. There are options they're going to like a lot less.

lol you bootlicking swine

Reduce taxes and you end up with less services and goods, like bridges. We also end up with less free research since the people who do it starve instead. As far as employment... a company's goal is to employ as few people as possible.

How about if we tax billionaires until they qualify for food stamps?

Taxes are on income, not operating capital that has already been subjected to taxation when it was profit earmarked as retained earnings. If you're going to make baldfaced lies, at least make them less transparent.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😡

Oh 🙋‍♀️…does it trickle down!?!?!?

WE REALLY DON'T NEED TO TAX BILLIONAIRES TO GET LESS OF THEM. WE CAN JUST DO IT THE OLD FASHIONED WAY. THEY'RE CLEARLY GOING TO KEEP DOUBLING DOWN AND FORCE IT TO COME TO THAT ANYWAY. BETTER GET THEIR BUNKERS BUILT...

HAHAHAHAHAHA! FUCK RIGHT OFF.

Perfect! The suggested wealth taxes by smart people with a conscience are also just a few percent. So we agree! #nzpol

Come on you guys

fewer parasites? more money for government ? win-win

You greatly overestimate Seppo intelligence and/or education. This is not a culture that values intelligence or logic, and I can assure you that American culture is fully on board with American capitalism.

The more educated a population is, the more resistant to propaganda. There’s a reason that Americans fall for “the media” and politicians with big war chests have a massive advantage.

Keep posting photos of yourself, Adam. You’re almost there, don’t give up now.

those people and researches shouldn't be economically hostage to those specific billionaires in the first place, it's a risky inverted pyramid to allow to exist, taxation would contribute towards liberating them from that tyranny

Confirmed troll account.

yawn
