Comment on Gary Stevenson: 'Tax wealth or we'll return to the feudal age'
GoatSynagogue@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThey literally pay the majority of all tax in a society lol. They usually create tens of thousands of jobs, and pay those wages.
There aren’t many billionaires that don’t own and run massive companies that contribute greatly to society.

I’m going to have 1000 pizza pies, you’re going to have one. We each need to contribute to the group. You’ll give half of your pizza pie, I’ll give one whole pie. I’m a much bigger contributor than you. No one hungry should be upset with me, especially since I periodically give a slice to the people who bake all the pizzas for me. Enjoy your half pizza.
Only that’s not how it works. That’s not how the tax system works.
That’s literally how it’s working now. The top 0.1% pays propotionately less than top 10%

The top richest times list and the top taxpayers list don’t have any overlap. The majority of billionaires pay fuck all tax.

You’re just wrong.

You have no idea, tax on income is nothing.
We should be taxing wealth, not work.
And I was referring to UK times richest list vs top taxpayers list. We tax income, so workers, we don’t tax the wealthy who never earnt their money in the first place.

No, you shouldn’t be taxing wealth for all the reasons I’ve listed many times.
