Apparently it’s not just Billionaires who hate this, but also Russian trolls pretending to be leftists. Who would have guessed the two would be allied?!
It’s the first step in a wealth tax. In the future a government “wealth assessor” will inventory everything you own or invest in, make an arbitrary determination of how much its “worth”, and then set your taxes. Like property tax but a million times more complex and arbitrary.
Literally the first paragraph of OPs article: “The plan would impose a 25 percent minimum income tax on anyone worth at least $100 million.” I.e. if your asset size is less than a certain threshold it won’t affect you. So it will require audits of asset size to accurately tax.
The guillotine was mostly used after the revolution, to kill political opponents of the ruling party that took over. More of an animal farm type deal than a revolution.
The rule against advocating violence that removed this post kind of makes sense, from a CYA perspective, but also feels like it’s endorsing violence against everyone else.
Support yachts are the finest way to improve your yachting experience. Not only you will be able to increase the number of guest & crew accommodations, but also the amount of water toys & tenders that are within your fleet. Upgrapding the mothership to obtain the same results usually comes at a much heftier cost than a support vessel. In addition, the support yacht will be able to resupply the mothership while at anchor and make sure that you never run out of food, wines and all the supplies you may ever need.
Isn’t communism the devil or some dumb shit like that? We gotta protect our corporate overlords man, we wouldn’t want to live in a dictatorship where a very rich few control the world! /s
To some degree taxes need to be tied to cost of living. Someone making $70k in rural Texas vs NYC is going to have a very different cost of living and quality of life.
Flat tax is nice in theory, but it’s horribly regressive. 30% would be a nice reduction in taxes for anyone making $230k + or so, while a dramatic increase for anyone under 90k
Also, said billionaire should stop gaslighting everyone. Most people I know will try to find better work if their basic needs are fulfilled. Nobody except a billionaire wants hand outs.
Problem isn’t the billionaire vote, but rather the billionaire dark money being funneled to the other guy instead. Which I’m sure they’re all doing anyway, but they could decide to do it more. Which makes it ever more important for grassroots efforts to get the vote out so that we can eat the rich in spite of their efforts to dodge our hungry maws.
