People that want to tax the rich

You are dumb.
These people do not earn income, so you raising the income tax on the “rich” has absolutely affect them.
And if you go after their money in other ways, do you think it won’t affect the common man? All they’ll have to do is raise their prices for their products or services, or cut the pay/benefits for employees.
What do we gain from going after their money? Let’s assume we actually take their money and redistribute it to others. What does that accomplish? Where do you think technological innovations come from? You think that the government can do more with this money? No, they can’t. These rich people want to be even richer, they accomplish this via investment into research and development of new technologies. If you want to kill off innovation and technological breakthroughs, then yes tax them into oblivion you idiots.

Are guaranteed to be employed by a rich person. Who will make them unemployed when the tax environments necessitates trimming overhead.
Then they will complain about being unemployed.
It really is mind boggling.

Honestly the best way to accomplish this is a inheritance tax. Any assets after death over $11.15MM should be taxed at 100%.

We can handle it.

I have had arguments with people over this for a couple of years..I tell them that they follow "Chalkboard Politics"...It only looks good in the classroom..Doesn't work in real life.

Respectfully disagree with you on death tax.
The government has no right to that money.
They need to be more fiscally responsible.

frick you.

They are all full of shite. None of them talk about why the tax rate is so much higher on labor than capital. It should be the other way around if they were truly about the working man like the dems say.
Even if you look at large corporations right now. Never has the share of labor as a percent of EBITDA been lower in modern corporate history. IE we are making less as a percent of earnings. So were working more, making less, and corps are making more money.
So all the folks you hear rail about equal pay are in the same boat. Because its just a way to keep wages suppressed as opposed to increasing them.

Think "the rich" don't have options. Like restructuring their investments/assets.
OR
fricking leaving and taking their $$$$$$$ with them.

Income taxes are inherently unfair and divisive.
Politicians love them because they can be used to pit people against each other.
Taxing on the basis of consumption makes the most sense. It also works to curb carbon output if that is a concern for anyone.
The problem I see is that our politicians think government exists to do everything for the people. Helicopter government. That gets expensive.
The government is not a charity.

Yep
But why do they want to take their money? Personally I believe it’s due to jealousy.

This, plus it allows them to pick winners and losers. Look at the tax code. If you are a married couple and you both work your arse off, you are punished. But if you’re a loser and father children with a woman whom you live with but never marry because commitment is scary to you, you are rewarded. Hell you don’t even have to work and your kids get into college free. Meanwhile those suckers who married and worked have to take out a second mortgage to get their kids into college. Such a fricked up system.

You mean they get no MORE of it.
That money has already been taxed dozens of times

So when someone dies who owns a private company or farm, and the total value (land, equipment, etc) total in value over $11.15M, it should not be passed on to the family but absorbed by the government?
