Here on leftypol and all I see is muh capitalism has failed. Ok anons, put your money where your mouth is. Why don't you support billionaire asset taxes? Trillionaire asset taxes? You assholes do know that billionaires DO NOT have "income," so raising the income tax does nothing but keep fucking wage cucks.
You guys are all charlatan socialists and communists.
Exactly what the fuck do you think "seize the means of production" means?
The fuck are you even talking about?
In the US, income tax law still does cover capitalists. The IRS recognizes the category of "unearned income," constituting rents, dividends, etc.
socalism = taxing the rich
And at what rate is dividends taxed? And at what rate is Income taxed? Why are you charlatans so stupid when it comes to tax policy. You guys are actively giving billionaires a free pass because of your ignorance of the basic structure of taxation.
What am I talking about? The only people in elected office want to raise INCOME Taxes. Hey idiots, this tax affects the proletariat. Billionaires and trillionaires do NOT have income. They live off of Capital gains.
Wait.. do you think people on leftypol are in elected office?
No, but you people vote for the idiots who keep increasing taxes on the proletariat.
???
Are you trolling or retarded? AFAIK, every U.S. politician including Bernie Sanders receive nothing but scorn from Zig Forums. Fuck outta here, liberal
Ok.
Main point is, why don't we impose ASSET TAXES on billionaires? Let's start with getting that question spoken about.
Because the people who'd enact such policies are in the pockets of those very billionaires. Maybe Zig Forums can help you out with your succdem fantasies
We don't stand for the equalisation of money or wealth as an end. For communism, the whole edifice has to go because capital as a process will continue regardless and it is this which meaningfully underpins divisions between people (such as the division of labour) and social relations in our time.
????
Next youre going to say you think that we think we should increase sales task as well.
wow OP, amazing solution!
… because we don't have the power to do so? Same reason we don't behead them. These are questions with very trivial answers op.
Are you sure user? Maybe you're just a paid shill, because you know the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. And yet you charlatan think that soaking the people and not the billionaires is the answer.
This has nothing to do with hate, you Soros shill. This is everything to do with equalizing the disparity between the rich and the poor. Asset Taxes do this. Income taxes do not.
Go away, liberal
Have you ever read Karl Marx user? You have a quite interesting interpretation of socialism. He speaks about the oppression of the proletariat of the elite class. I'm talking about taking away the power of the elite's influence on the proletariat.
That's where you're wrong, good sir.
We don't have power to do anything of that. Unless you yourself happen to be in government somewhere, which I doubt.
The only tax I support is LVT and most of Zig Forums is predominantly concerned with the ownership of industry by workers via revolution.
No user, Santa told us that taxing them would simply be a band aid on a cancer patient because it's only trying to mitigate the effect instead of destroying the cause. Non-revolutionary Communists are an oxymoron as for Communism to happen you have to first have a political and economic revolution to secure the rights of the proles under the DOP and to strip the capitalists of their ill gotten gains. Now tell me why I should support merely taxing the billionaires instead of seizing their assets?
Socialism is not about taxes, moron. That said, the fact that the wealth of the owners and top corporate executives is mostly or entirely in the form of private and stock assets is a fact the liberal and socdems, that are the unfortunate face of the left as far as the public eye is capable of seeing, can't seem to comprehend.
I actually see elimination of personal income tax as an eventual policy goal the left should support.
why would a revolutionary communist tax billionaires when he could send them to the mega guillotine and just take the assets
