Comment on Income Tax Is Theft
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 5 hours agoThey are already doing this. 'Spending faster than they earn"
Yea. I said that.
as many “milllionares” do
you are still thinking like income tax
What do you mean by income tax? Because clearly you aren’t uderstanding what I mean.
I mean ALL income. Of any kind. No loopholes. The problem isn’t conceptual. It’s practical
You’re arguing for a complete conceptual shift for no reason, when what’s really needed, is just look tat how the rich ar avoiding taxation, and closing the legal loopholes they use. Which your “wealth tax” won’t do. Especially as “wealth” doesn’t actually have a value until it’s bought or sold.

Wealth has a value, land can be valued easily, we have data for years all around websites and in government about the lands everywhere. The houses are also like this. You can value a company by the factories it has people it employs etc, money it earns etc. This three is more than enough. The rest of wealth may not count, it is not important.
You cant fix loopholes without taxing all billionaires until none exists, because they will constantly bribe government. Even if you fixed loopholes, they will create intentionally.

Then how is your proposal a solution?

Start by taxing everything above 10M dollars, then spread wealth control to all people, than start taxing wealth, not work because if you don’t tax wealth it will again cumulate and we will have to start over.

The fuck do you mean by “wealth control”?
Are you referring to UBI?
It sounds like what youre sctually arguing for, is an asset cap. Where any property above a certain cap goes to the government.
If the cap is 10M, how do we fund UBI, infrastructure and emergency services once evryone is below that cap?
