Kamala Harris for Pres

[RandyForRubio]

In the longterm, the stock market will be better with the middle and lower classes having more wealth proportionate to the upper class. Increased consumer spending is a good thing for an economy.

Agreed! So to get them involved, incentivize it! Don’t create policy to encourage people to do otherwise.

I didn’t say anything about fair. And yeah, the wealthy have access to resources that others don’t…that’s life. And honestly, they should! Why should Joe Schmoe who makes $40k have the same resources that a person who makes $100 million have? One of them creates a lot more worth to the system than the other. I know it doesn’t make anybody feel good, but it’s the truth. And in regards to fair, the top 1% pay 46% of all income taxes while earning 26% of the income. Perhaps the problem isn’t that we need to tax more to get more to cover spending, perhaps the problem is that we spend too much.

We're talking specifically about resources that enable them to take advantage of tax loopholes. Somebody who was born into wealth and makes $100 million in passive income while having to work minimally still gets a free step-up in the tax basis of the assets they inherited from their parents. That step-up will never be taxed. It's lost tax revenue to the country, all for the benefit of the person inheriting the ultra large wealth.

Agreed! So to get them involved, incentivize it! Don’t create policy to encourage people to do otherwise.

First off, I have no idea how a tax that only impacts the unrealized gains of the ultra wealthy would "encourage people to do otherwise". We're talking about consumer spending, not investing.

A country's overall wealth is a finite pool, mostly owned by the ultra wealthy. This tax has the ultimate net effect of changing that proportion in favor of the middle/lower classes. And as you acknowledged in this post, the stock market will be better with the middle and lower classes having more wealth proportionate to the upper class.

There's a finite amount of assets in the system. Hoarders of the assets building billion dollar yachts and stashing them around the world takes assets out of the system. When more and more of the pie ends up in fewer and fewer hands eventually something has to give.

I think we're getting to the crux of the issue. R4R thinks that we live in a meritocracy (a lie) and the best measure of merit is the amount of wealth somebody has. People who have more money have it because they're better at life than those who don't. They deserve it.

On my end, I don't think they're entitled to the amount that they've profited off of the backs of their workers. I don't blame them necessarily. I'm not expecting them to give money out to the poor out of the kindness of their hearts. I'm hoping to restructure society in a way that values those who contribute more equitably and allows everyone an opportunity to contribute.

A fair measured response. Appreciate it.

It’d be another testament to how corrupt the Democratic Party is if Trump and RFK jr joined forces. I’d like to see RFK as the attorney general so he can have power over the purse to keep our taxes from flowing so freely into the corrupt military industrial complex and the medical industrial complex with no oversight. It’d sure be nice to know how our Ukraine and Israel funds are actually being spent. Let alone the tax dollars the government sends to private companies creating addictive poison pills that kill people by the thousands.
They both will want to beef up security even more if they are going to join forces. The assassination attempts won’t end even after the election either. We’ve seen presidents murdered before.

Please keep RFK away from any important jobs.

this means that middle class Americans foot way more of the bill to run the country than the ultra-billionaires who profit off the system the middle class pays to support.

Wow! That is so unfair, or it would be if you didn't pull it from your backside. In reality, the top 10% of income earners are the source of 60% of all federal tax revenue and 76% of all income taxes. The middle class pays little and the bottom half of earners pay nothing.

Agreed. That is the crux of the issue. R4R is centered on creating and building which brings in wealth. You are centered on taking away and redistributing based on what you think people are entitled to.

History is full of example of economies created by those who think like R4R, and examples of economies created by people who think like you do. Creating and building is the better model. The economies created around taking away and redistributing reliably end in genocide, famine, or both.

Haha! Ya we need more dementia riddled brain dead puppets with important jobs. Am I right dems?

RFK doesn’t like agriculture. He’s out for me.

What a weird post. Dems literally just got rid of their dementia candidate and the Repubs dementia candidate is still in the running.
Also, the person you responded to isn't a liberal or Democrat.
Big time swing and a miss
