The lions share of my income, SS & a small pension, goes for rent and utilities. Then I have to pay for meds, food, clothes(as needed), car insurance, gas, etc
Never stretches far enough. Funny the stuff they want to cut.
Confiscate hoarded wealth over a Billion$ and leave each with a Billion…that guarantees you and your ancestors. EVERYTHING YOU WANT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES. Oh, and a trophy that you win capitalism!
...7.9 million in my lifetime?...Ok so...half of that. I make half on my life as much as he makes in an hour. Guess me an my fellow minimal wage workers arent average. Yet everyone ik is broke af and desperate af. Id have to make nearly 100k a year to fit this ffs. At least until 80 years old.
I used to know a descendant of W.K. Kellogg in the Stockton area. She always paid her fair share of taxes, and insisted on paying her farm employees a living wage.
we do have a wealth tax already. It's called the estate tax. However, one has to die first before it can be levied. Wealth is generated with after tax $$$ so there really isn't a tax now to go after accumulated wealth while someone is alive. It would be very hard to do for a lot of reasons.
I'll bet. The tax code is written by and for rich folks. The problem is most very wealthy people don't have earned income to be taxed at the full rate. They live off of capital gains etc that are taxed a much lower levels. It's a racket for them.
