Interesting concept. How will you go about it?
By getting the Communists out of the government and thereby getting the government the hell out of the way of the private sector.
You're going to China? Cuba? Where? There are no communist in our government. :coffeepap
Won't be in 2013. :lamo
We're not now. I do wish you guys were more original. :coffeepap
IMO, a 90% tax on all income over 100K is justified, fair or not.....OK, this is extreme....make that 200K $.Allow one unfair thing to happen to someone else and the next unfair thing may happen to you. I would not call for them to be taxed any more than I because I would not want to be unfairly taxed either.
One man hogging all the money, at first look, helps NOT our economy.Yes. I agree. They just stole a lot of stuff from AT&T's government funded research contract for computing, and went on from there. They're just pirates who mostly buy or steal developments from other people. Gates didn't even have an OS when he sold one to IBM.
So, how does Gates being worth $40 billion from a monopoly help the economy, exactly?
No, not now, but Obama and his regime are working hard to take us in that direction. Thank God that most American see that and are going to vote his ass out next year.
What does progressive tax system have to do with anything in this poll? Does a progressive tax system supposed to save the rich? No....
Oh great here we go... If someones taxes are higher than the others the right found a new word for it its called "class war" now apparently... Just like with the rich the right now uses the word "job creators" now... Sooo lame...
Who creates the jobs, if they don't?

two things here
1) this whole "job creators" nonsense is a scam giving Republicans a new word of the week which they can use to replace RICH and WEALTHY which do not play well. Just like during the Gingrich era, GOP thought molders came up with the neologism of DEATH TAX instead of the actual term ESTATE TAX because they thought it would play better politically with the non rich.
2) Some wealthy are indeed job creators. Some are not job creators. To call an entire class of RICH people JOB CREATORS is a blatant lie and obvious political manipulation based on dishonesty.

Taxs and job creation are not entertwined thats a talking point excuse
You mean the 90.5% of the workforce that is working?

Many folks around here seem so very concerned about the rich folks, their money and the taxes they have to pay.
So I ask the folks here do we really need to be worried about rich folks having to pay too much tax? Are you gonna sleep less at night worrying about tax burdens of the rich?
For the rich folks here at DP? Sorry if I offend you.
No thread is ever complete without a bit of delusion and hackery.Perhaps those who have less should get some guts and ambition to get rich. :shrug:

And the tax shelters are bad? I'm sorry, but I'm not about to try and skewer the "rich" anymore when the top 1% of America in terms of wealth pay more in taxes than the bottom 95%. America has the largest overall tax rate in the modern world. So, while the rich may not need "saving", they don't need a bunch of Robin Hoods running around, trying to act like they know how to spend their money better than they do.
Where are you getting your information that America has the largest overall tax burden.
According to the OECD, we have the third lowest tax to GDP ratio.
List of countries by tax revenue as percentage of GDP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Even according to the Heritage Foundation (a conservative think tank), our tax to GDP ratio is much lower than most of our developed world counterparts at 26.9% (including state and local taxes). Compared to the UK (39%), Canada (32.2%), Germany (40.6%), and France (46.1%) we have a very low tax burden.
In terms of American history, our tax burden right now is incredibly low. This belief that American taxes right now are somehow ridiculously high doesn't pan out when applied to facts.
