so many commies will brings things up like "wealth tax" and these CEOs like bezos and musk should pay a tax based on % of their assets

Well, since most of their wealth is in shares, the logical conclusion is over time every CEO will lose control over their companies to fund the government

This is LITERALLY communism, not even being ironic

That is the insidious reality. To "save the market" they will happily take their tax payment as an inkind transfer of equity rather than tanking the market with a catastrophic sell off. The gov't in control of such large voting stakes would have the same consquence ultimately, anyway.

We just need a flat tax across the board, everyone will be equal, no brackets or loopholes.

Yes, flat 0% tax is fair enough.

Tax is robbery!

Not really. It's necessary but we need public oversight on how it's spent and a fair system (flat tax). I don't think the highway dept could survive selling merch.

Now if you pay taxes and everything is shit still, then it's robbery.

7/10 of the pillars of communism outlined by Marx already apply to current American society

Sit down commie

you people that pay income tax crack me up. sooo many ways to use the tax code to tour advantage. I don't want a flat tax, that would screw me worse. person property taxes are my pet peeve, but you can figure a way around them too. until bitcoin, I was, if you can't beat'em, join'em.

Its that misdirected anger Dave Smith bit. They know someone's screwing them. Not the 1%, maybe not even the 0.1%. Really "if you own a bank"

You had doubts?

Not only that but you’re taking away incentives and productive assets so that it can go toward bombing five year olds in Yemen.

Communism: not even once.

The logical conclusion is that they will leave, like Elon already did when he left South Africa because the government there were going to jail him for not joining the army
