That’s a hard pass for me. I’d rather opt out of social security. It’s a ponzi scam. If the government had put that into a private account, I’d have millions of dollars in there.

    That is the topic. Increasing the taxes. SMH.

    We should be middle of the road for taxes. That’s what we receive in return.

      We already have some of the highest corporate taxes in the world. Your solution is to tax them more

      Maybe you don’t understand how the word “already” works?

      Hell no. USA #1. We should have a 50% tax rate or higher. Especially for companies that only make money by manipulating money.

        So you’d be fine being taxed at 50%? I wouldn’t. In most other countries the citizens pay a higher burden than the corporations. So you’d be fine with 50% of your wages gone?

          Hold your goalposts there partner, corporations might pretend to be people, but last I checked, people still aren’t corporations.

          You can lose this argument gracefully, or you can lose it like a clown, your choice.

            You’re the clown who isn’t being clear.

            If we tax corporations to death, they’ll just move to a lower tax area.

            It’s what they did with manufacturing. Taxes need to be fair. Otherwise companies won’t play.

                For everyone ? I’m fine with that. Everyone should pay their fair share.

                  I’m glad we agree. People making less than ~300K are certainly paying their fair share, it’s time for corporations to step up and face that 50%+ tax rate.

                  The rich can follow suit.
