I don’t understand having a problem with taxing people so rich that there’s no way they would even feel the sting of a wealth tax. A wealth tax wouldn’t make a difference for them in the quality of one day, yet the money could be used to save the lives of millions. #WealthTaxNow

There is no reason billionaires should hold $10,000,000,000,000 in wealth while food lines stretch for miles and millions are on the brink of eviction. Tax the rich.

People are brainwashed. The programming has been terribly effective.

Restructure the tax laws. Here's a Noble project.

So, FORCING charity on successful people is what the Federal Government is responsible for? How about just fixing the tax code? Get rid of the loopholes and credits meant to control societal behavior. I’m for no income tax, but a 10-15% Federal sales tax (with rules).

They can leave our country and take their money elsewhere. The rest of us can’t. So the govt ends up taking it from the already dwindling middle class. This just makes our country more poor and zero job growth. It’s the wealthy that creates the job. No way around it.

VAT tax, then UBI. Would be a good place to start for now.

Just raise the capital gains tax.

Have you noticed that there’s never enough money for government ? Never. So why give them more ? Give them less and those that want to can send in extra without being forced to do so
