re: Making the Rich pay their Fair Share

If we closed more loopholes, simplified the tax code, made compliance easier, all of this would save money and generate more revenue. No tax rate adjustments needed

It's never articulated what they pay and what they should. Loans on stock holdings should be treated as realization event in terms of tax

It has nothing to do with their fair “share”. Democrats have been pissed off forever that, because capital gains are taxed at a significantly lower rate, the wealthiest Americans pay a much lower “ effective tax rate “. They also know that increasing the capital gains tax reduces the incentive to invest which reduces corporations ability to expand and create jobs, which in turn has a negative effect on the overall economy, interest rates and retirement accounts.“Eat The Rich” is a great way to appeal to middle class voters who have no clue that, not only does it not benefit them, it impacts them negatively.

Should the rich pay their fair share? Sure. I do.

Do the rich take advantage of the tax code? Probably. I would too.

Trump let the cat out of the bag during his 2016 debate with Hillary. He said something to the effect that she would never change the tax code like she claimed because her big donors used the same deductions she blasted Trump for using.

An extra 50 billion a year

Woahhhhh that will fix the 32 trillion in debt !!!!!

If the USA took all the personal wealth from so called American billionaires it would not amount to a third of what has been given to the Ukraine slush fund from which the Democratic Party reportedly garnishes back 60 cents on the dollar!

I would rather the rich spend their money on fancy restaurants, yachts, big houses and other rich endeavors. These entities employ thousands of people at good wages.

The alternative is to take that money and support illegal immigrants, high school moms, reperations and other bloated non productive liberal causes.

Watching one of the dufus' political ad, they show a photo of Elon Musk with Trump.

I read somewhere that EM paid nearly $28 billion in taxes to the federal government last year.

I never understood the "make the rich pay their fair share(they pay taxes also)". And? The govt wants rich people to pay their dime? Dumb.

For the twillionith time.... "it's their MONEY, why should they pay more taxes than anyone else". Cause they make more? Gtfoh. I swear people are dumb af.
