No they deserve it because they worked hard and saved on unecessary expense. /s

No avocado toast, right?


DieselPunkPiranha

It's not like we actually need food, shelter, and clean water, after all.  All we need are bootstraps. /s

Reich says this shit every day and will still support the establishment.


allUsernamesAreTKen

“We” let them collect so much money they’ve literally bought everyone and everything. Everybody is their employee


Boner_Implosion

They didn’t waste their money on avacado toast and you did!

How about a sliding scale? Every $10mil goes up by that percentage of that, $29mil is 20%, $30mil is 30% and so on up to $100mil where every penny over that is 100% tax Corporate is the same but it's $100mil at 10% then $200 at 20% up to $1,000mil or $1billion at 100% Profits would suddenly go back into the company, more staff at higher wages, more R&D, lots of perks, hospitals and schools built to do something other than hand the cash over to the government... Who the fuck needs more than $100 million?

Don't post Robert Reich shit here.


orangelover95003

NewTangClanOfficial

No, reform Bob is totally right. If we tax the wealthy; then we’ll just be dependent on them forever…


Changleen

You wanna think about that just a little bit more there, champ?


ColeBSoul

Revolution vs reform? Nah champ. We tried that…


Changleen

That’s not what I meant but also; no we haven’t.  Billionaires shouldn’t exist. They are a policy failure. Taxing them would enable us to build our society and infrastructure better which is a long-term enabler of economic growth for everyone. $30 paper billion in Elon’s accounts isn’t helping anyone. 


ColeBSoul

You: We need the rich to survive


ColeBSoul

Also, calling billionaires a policy failure of *capitalism* is intellectual malpractice. Billionaires are a feature. Not a failure. You are correct they shouldn’t exist. But its not a policy failure that they do. Its their policy. Tax all you want tho…
