94% in WW2 and 70% in Nam was not wishfull thinking..................
"If we taxed the rich" threads are like "If I Had a Billion Dollars" threads. Wishful thinking about an imaginary outcome.
You want people making $200k/year to pay 80% taxes and be left with $40k/year?
No facts so they start with "envy" agian! LMAO!!
Average 80%.
say 50% for $200k to 90% over $1mil
Well, let's get overtechnical since you're harping on this.
Let me offer the folloing abbreviated definitions to show the logical difference
Jealousy: Wanting what someone else has
Envy: Wanting what someone else has, and wanting that other person to NOT have it
So, I might believe you if you tell me that you're jealous, but not envious.
Although seeing you just posted that income >$1M you'd want to tax it 90%, I think the "i'm not envious" argument is stretched too thin. You better do that gradually, do it quickly and bad things will happen.
It blows me away that all that money goes to the FEDERAL government. We need a federation for the purposes of common defense and some commercial standardization tasks. We are a federation of sovereign states. Not provinces, or counties, but states, each with their own government. All this crap that the federation is doing ought to be done (or not done) by each state.One of the only plus sides I could see to this sort of taxation is that it might start to give people a better grasp of just how much ****ing money the Federal government blows every year. The true weight of their fiscal recklessness is somewhat clouded to us because so much of it is borrowing. In the end, more of us might start wanting a smaller Federal.
Yes.
Really strange concept to you is it?
That is my favorite post of the night.
I wish you a ocean liner filled with good luck in getting what you requested.
I have stated my position over and over and over again and its in those 22,000 posts.
I WILL NOT reward intellectual laziness. I WILL NOT play into the hands of a wannabe prosecutor in the make believe imaginings of their own Starr Chamber.

It's voluntary silly, you can walk away and go find someone else to negotiate with, or not. Good grief. The amount of mental absence you have to engage in to hold these views is so extreme.Having been a barganing delaget no its not. I got to see LOTS of refusing to negociate......
And one place refused to pay me my pay.....refused to negociate.......Untill protest shut down there operation.......Then they paid up damb fast!
Still being forced by Apple to upgrade to the latest iphone? You're almost funny.they only understand FORCE and MONEY.
If you think others should pay marginal rates this high so should you.

Be ready for the Big Government advocates to whip out their race to the bottom arguments. Start formulating your response now.
"they " have what the worker created.......... Kind of hard to envy what is yours in the first place......
What bad things? Them leaving? Please GO! (but dont forget your 877A taxes on world assets) LOL

Race to the bottom is a REALITY. I live it. And so do 30 mil + workers and unemployed in USA.

Sounds like you aren't sure what is meant by "race to the bottom" in this context. Click the link.
I think most rich people got that way by taking advantage of the opportunities given to them and working hard.
I have studied it for 20 years.
Now I live it.
Go **** yourself. Patronizing scum.

Hmm. So maybe you do know what's meant by it then, guess we'll have to take your word for it, because you certainly don't provide much detail. Race to the bottom is pretty macro policy phenomenon. If you've studied it for 20 years, I would think you could see why saying "I live it" is kind of an odd thing to say, and you would provide some explanation rather than just lash out as you did. :shrug:
