We need to get rid of the loopholes. It’s naive to think only the wealthy can pay for new social programs.

[@DrArthurCGarp]

Rich people pay the most in taxes because they have most of the money but that isn't the same as paying your fair share. If Bill has 10k and Jeff has 100k of course Jeff is gonna pay more in taxes but to Jeff 10% leaves him with 90k left. To Bill 10% leaves him with 9k left. Jeff still has 10 times more money and can still invest, buy a home and a car. Bill just lost a month's rent.

Well, numbers wise they do pay the majority of the taxes. However, proportional to income, they're paying a fraction of what us peasants are paying.

[@theinvisiblewoman5709]

In animals that herd together like lions, wolves, elephants… they generally all work together for the success of everyone. There are limits to what individuals can achieve alone and no limit to what individuals can achieve together. How a community should be structured should be based on its needs. That’s what Candice fails to understand, that humans instinct is to herd together with those who have the means to achieve their needs. Every person who can in a society should have their own job/expertise that allows the community to thrive. This concept is a bit harder and more impersonal in large cities and with the emergence of big box stores like Walmart and Amazon pricing out small businesses that tend to be community oriented.

It’s just the same old conservative “call everything you disagree with socialism” playbook.

That “rich people pay 85% of taxes” is an old-ass argument, just so y’all know. Not sure where it originates from (can’t remember) but I know I’ve read it in some decade-old Glenn Beck books.

[@octoberboiy]

Here’s the thing, Candice always leaves out important details to make what she’s saying sound true. She left out all the tax write-offs the rich use to lower the amount they pay. That’s how Amazon got away with paying 0% taxes a few years ago.

[@Pun116]

That's built into the American economy, for we give breaks to business expansion, such as reinvestment into itself, like what Amazon did. They will eventually have to pay the taxes on that expansion, so the government can take all the time in the world to wait for the bucks to roll in. There's debate over whether it's better to pay off the taxes now or later; actually, there's debate whether taxes are good at all, for it's never actually the business that pays for it. It's always passed down to the consumer where the tax is built into the products' price points.

[@seandavidt3538]

@@Pun116 Every highway you drive on was paid for with taxes and bonds (bonds simply being taxes dumped on future generations out of sheer laziness and lack of common sense). Every toilet you flush uses a sewage system paid for by taxes. Most police forces are subsidized largely (most exclusively) on taxes (and bond payments yet again). Also, fun fact, Amazon will never pay taxes for the years they are subsidized. When the subsidy ends Amazon will leave and relocate.
