Not one thing is stopping him from voluntarily increasing what he gives the government.

Every person in the country has the right to live free in this country and everybody should pay their fee, not their share based on wealth. Personally, I think the rich should pay a lower tax rate....

Fortunate people should not pay a higher percentage tax, period.
All men were created equal, and should be treated equal, even in the tax game.

How about decreasing taxes for everyone and reducing government spending?

Plus he’s wrong. Take every $ in income over $1 million and you won’t even balance the current budget. Muchless balance it with what’s coming.

Everyone has a tax shelter. Not being successful or having wealth is on the person. It’s not some billionaires fault we have a poor class.

Why is it that when Trump is picking winners and losers by singling out specific groups who don't have to pay tax this board applauds, but when Steve Bannon proposes essentially the same idea, just singling out a different group and proposing the converse, everyone is pissed off?

This is populism, folks.

Covid put so much wealth in the hands of a few that this was bound to be a talking point, just didnt expect it from Bannon.

There is nothing wrong with wealth disparity as long as you have opportunities to climb the ladder yourself, but the floor has been raised so high that this was bound to become a hot topic sooner or later.

my issue is what do they define as “wealthy”?

the average bumbling idiot of this world thinks being rich or small business owner is “Wealthy”

Major difference between Wealthy & Rich, Yuge difference!

They'll tax the rich, it will not be enough, so they'll come after the middle class too

I won’t argue with Covid and the rich. The government picked winners. Both sides did this and the majority lost.

At the end of the day. We live in society and have resources our parents and grandparents couldn’t fathom. To be part of the 50%+ or more with $1,000.00 or less in a savings account is insane. I get it, society as a whole is not taught simple finances. But with investing, wealth education and everything at our fingertips. It’s really incredible to live in poverty.

What do you think community centers teach?
They teach "legal" ways to get free shite and other free tax funded programs they just help people learn to leach at a higher level

Populism is two things. It has a non-material aspect, which is anti-elite, and in that, a redemptive, almost kind of spiritual quality — what we call the sovereign will.


What a bunch of bullshite. There's a "spiritual quality" to saying the elite are out to get us?

On a practical basis, it’s economic policies, tax policies, industrial policies, and national security policies that make the citizen the actual focus of the government.


Which citizens? BLM or the people attending a MAGA rally?

I voted for Trump who said he was going to lower taxes. What Bannon says is irrelevant to me. I've never listened to his show once in my life. Your attempt to ascribe his beliefs to all Trump supporters is nothing but your usual dishonesty.
