The top 10% of earners pay 71% of total tax dollars. Keep bitching about how life is unfair because you suck. | |||

Ultra-rich has a technical definition which is a net worth of $100MM or more. There's 48 million people in the world who fit this definition, though many of them are sharing a single pool of money. There are a lot more people with a much lower net worth who use their wealth to accumulate more wealth. Who is claiming otherwise? | ||||

Look at the rates at which people who had poor fiscal sense won the lottery and then went broke, they are crazy high. Look at the rates of professional athletes with poor fiscal sense went broke after retiring and losing those million+/year salaries Becoming poor can often be to life circumstances. STAYING poor is due to one's mindset and skillset. And the same goes for staying rich | |||

Cuba is a shining bastion of economic prosperity. We should abandon capitalism here in the USA and switch to the superior system that the Cubans have been using.

Taxes feed the very things that make rich richer.
Investing money in others education gives skilled labor. Investing into infrastructure and research gives innovative technology to make business easier. Investing in social needs lower crime Investing in military (the bulk of our taxes; yielding a large population of conservatives) provides protection. All from taxation. There is no reason why the richest country in the world can’t feed their poor or provide them healthcare and shelter. History shows: The Revenue Act of 1935, 49 Stat. 1014 (Aug. 30, 1935), raised federal income tax on higher income levels, by introducing the "Wealth Tax".[1] It was a progressive tax that took up to 75 percent of the highest incomes (over $1 million per year.).[2] The Congress separately also passed new taxes that were regressive, especially the Social Security tax. Okay It was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt over strong opposition from business, the rich, and conservatives from both parties. The 1935 Act also was popularly known at the time as the "Soak the Rich" tax. __ It is upsetting to hear we give welfare tax breaks to big companies while hear even bigger companies avoid paying taxes all together from enabling parties in congress | ||
