ITT: People who are closer to being homeless than they are even to someone who only makes $600,000 a year, want people who spend their billions buying Congressmen, and literally cucking their political representation, to pay less taxes.

Do you like to watch the bull nail your wife too?

A fair tax takes into account the fundamental forces inherent in capitalism, in which having more wealth/capital makes it proportionally easier to capture an ever larger share of society's aggregate wealth.

Capitalism isn't linear, so taxes shouldn't be linear.

If you have $10,000 the only way to make more money is to sell your labor. If you have $10,000,000, you can literally just sit on your ass and put your money to work for you, and make a few orders of magnitude more than the guy with $10,000.

Both my wife and I, separately, were born with more money than most people will ever make in their lives. It's like peasants trying to ensure the aristocracy gets to keep their wealth generation after generation while you work their crops.

It's time for Kurt Vonnegut story hour:

America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

Samuel thundered that no American factory hand was worth more than eighty cents a day. And yet he could be thankful for the opportunity to pay a hundred thousand dollars or more for a painting by an Italian three centuries dead. And he capped this insult by giving paintings to museums for the spiritual elevation of the poor. The museums were closed on Sundays

Honest, industrious, peaceful citizens were classed as bloodsuckers, if they asked to be paid a living wage. And they saw that praise was reserved henceforth for those who devised means of getting paid enormously for committing crimes against which no laws had been passed. Thus the American dream turned belly up, turned green, bobbed to the scummy surface of cupidity unlimited, filled with gas, went bang in the noonday sun.”

Reminds me of the Louis CK bit about being broke where he asks have you ever been so broke where the bank charges you money for not having enough money?

I agree with everything you said as true but still don’t support crazy ridic tax rates on the rich, despite knowing I will never be rich
