Wealth Tax |
Any discussion of further taxation without a discussion of concurrent spending reduction and without an ironclad commitment to put increased tax revenues toward debt is just hollow sounding.
If government is allowed to tax with no commitment to reduce spending or to put increased revenue towards debt, all they do is make different people wealthy.

The ad hominems by Grilled and Reese show they cannot defend their position
The wealth of a country is finite. The more the government steals, the less wealth there is to invest and generate more wealth
Eventually there will come a point where the government has stolen too much and there will be no growth, and that's when the pool of wealth will contract
The contraction will continue until there is no wealth and that's when the government and the national currency collapse because there will be no more wealth to fund the promises made by both

The only position I am defending is sanity...
Your stealing schtick is a broken record. Your existence on the outpost is an ad hominiminon not to mention insulting.
SO JUST SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH ALREADY

They should figure out a way to tax that wealth.
Capital gains rate increase for starters.
RMoney's 21 million was taxed at 15%-ish last year iirc. That is beyond absurd.

Hopefully people reward the congressmen/presidents who do propose both.
Too often the discussion likes to pretend that there is nobody in that circle.

In our current system, it is unlikely to happen. We need to take the money out of political campaigns.
