You're viewing part of a thread.
And yet you guys wonder why millionaires move to Texas. You increase the taxes above a certain number and they'll take all their wealth, consumption and their taxes to another state.
Taxes should be sustainable. High taxes on rich people aren't sustainable because they'll leave taking whatever taxes they pay and whatever consumption they do which contributes to the economy.
The wealth that they hoard? The consumption they import? Let me guess, they're also "job creators."
Who pays your salary?
A corporation. Not a rich individual.
Who do you think created these corporations? Rich people with aim to make more money.
Capitalism pays your salary. Without capitalism and with theft of wealth via unfair taxation, your job won't exist.
Rich people do not need to exist for corporations to exist. Also, you think wage theft doesn't happen under capitalism?
According to the Economic Policy Institute, wage theft costs U.S. workers as much as $50 billion per yearâââa number far higher than all robberies, burglaries and motor vehicle thefts combined.
