Effin ridiculous that these people's lives are so devoid of anything interesting enough to make protesting a waste of time for them. Seriously, if you have nothing better to do than to show up at a protest and chant stupid slogan's then your life is shite.
I have two questions for those screaming, "Tax the rich."
1) How do you expect the "rich" to react? Sit there and pay higher taxes, or move their investments to places where they don't have to pay those taxes? I know which one I expect, and history agrees.
2) When that happens, who gets hurt? The "rich" or the people screaming, "Tax the rich"? The middle class, who are the ones urting in the USA today.
The middle class is shrinking in the USA, while it is growing worldwide. Why? Because the "rich" are moving investment and growth and jobs overseas. Why? Because the USA already taxes the "rich" (and corporations) more than other developed countries, and threatens to do even more so.
The difference between European social democracy and leftist/"progressive" democratic socialism is that social democracy seeks to provide a safety net rather than wholesale redistribution of income and wealth the way leftist democratic socialism does.
Who do these idiots think pays 90+~% of income taxes now?
Tax the rich? You ever been hired or gotten a decent job from a fellow poor person, Bozo?
I guess it goes in generational or some kind of cycle. Anyone else recall the bright lights and their “luxury taxes” on expensive cars and yachts?
How long did that last you dimbulbs? Who do you think that put out of work?
The rich? Lol dummies. They be rich!
Or perhaps the boat builders, engine mechanics, marinas and hired help? How about the kid filling the ice chests for the cruise to St. Martins?!?
Don’t be dumb again people. Please don’t be this dumb. We all suffer when you’re this dumb.
Please show me where, when and how a Country has taxed itself into prosperity.
Some y’all’s need to go back and actually READ what Robin Hood was all about. And it’s a kids story FFS.
