Every time I think about current tax rates I'm reminded that Trump is a child molestor 

Tax cuts for the wealthy over the last 45 years have led to the vast majority of the federal debt

The entire “Make America Great Again” mantra is clearly stating that America is no longer a great country and that we must restore it to greatness…. which presumably refers to the post-WWII era when t

Do the people who benefited/benefit from workers just walking across the border have any responsibility to pay into the system that supports all of us-or are we responsible to set up Obama Care for them?  Or should we not give a shit?  Just hope more of them get the door shut to get any help?

 

Figure it out.

Washington State changes their income tax laws to tax wealthy folk and just like that Howard Schultz decides to relocate...
 

But it's probably just a coincidence...

Anecdotal evidence now? Show studies to back up your points, not some random person moving to the retirement capital of the US.

Timing is impeccable though isn't it?  Howard Schultz is hardly a random guy. But yes. Only one example.

I don't care if he moves. His businesses are still there. Find actual studies that back up what you think, not anecdotes. So yes, he is a random guy in this instance.

Oh no. Washington state will continue to not get taxes from him?

 

And now Florida will continue to not get taxes from him?

 

The issue isn’t Washington taxing the rich. The issue is fuckwit states like Florida letting these assholes get away with it.

Or just chop off his head. It’d only take dragging one of these assholes out into the street and shooting him on IG Live to get the point across.

State laws for taxation are not an apples to apples scenario if how billionaires would react to higher federal taxes. 

 

Taking their personal wealth offshore...they already do that. Taking their businesses offshore...we've already done that to our manufacturing. 

 

Taking your consumer based models like, oh I don't know, Starbucks, out of the US is a joke. The threats fall completely flat. The idea we shouldn't be taxing these people who are sitting with more money than governments is ridiculous. This is parasitic capitalism and billionaires have become leeches to the overall economy, and their treatment in the tax bracket has direct effects on the historical stratification we are witnessing as a country.
