![]() It appears from a lot of the political discussions you see on GFY that you have a decent segment of the population who want to tax the rich at 50-90% (like the good ole days of the "New Deal") and then the others who think a flat tax is a solid long term solution.
At what point does raising tariffs, cutting defense, and the government hand outs factor in to the discussion? ![]() |

I dont understand why people would want to tax the rich, just look at what's going on in France. A lot of the rich guys are moving to other countries just because of the high tax. And why wouldn't they, I would do the same. They got so much money so moving shouldn't be a big problem for them.

![]() and some point people that 'do not produce' need to realize that people that do 'produce' should be rewarded. as an example: a person nets $132K and pays $60K in taxes BUT had to work 90 hours a week to do that... is that reasonable? yes there are' rich people' that fuck off most of the time HOWEVER ALL THE GUYS I KNOW THAT MAKE MONEY WORK LIKE FUCKING DOGS AND LONG HOURS... ![]() |

200K for a bathroom in the white house would be a good cut to start with.
If the Rich are willing to pay a bit more then good for them and let them add in what they like. But the waste is the biggest thing that needs to be looked at. Its amazing how much waste goes into each bill that gets passed.

Oh hell if you're saying someone is going to do defense cuts then taxing at fair levels doesn't even need to be discussed. Lets start with cutting the defense budget only by the amounts greater than they've requested. Once that's done we'll go from there.

Defense needs to be the first thing cut. Our military costs more than our GDP. Bring our boys(and girls) home and put them to work rebuilding our roads, bridges, electrical and water supply. When was the last time America was invaded? Foreign policy is no excuse to be the watchdog of the world.

We have waste all around. The amount of waste we have must be staggering. Look at that one agency - What was it, the GSA, throwing a convention in Vegas? I remember early one during the election Congress was flying out to Hawaii for meetings on healthcare... And what's up with Welfare? That's a short term thing, not a way to raise generations of families...

As liberal minded as I have been lately -- I still think the best way to get out of the hole is to make government more efficient and less wasteful. We could definitely stop rich people from paying less taxes by way of loopholes and other tricks, but I don't think they should be punished for being rich. Why take more money from the top earners if the government is going to waste it anyway?

I'm taxed at 50% up here in Canada, that's just income tax... I'm thinking about earning less money this year, I'm tired of paying for welfare mothers to stay how and have babies. We also pay for the health care of half of India. Socialized Health care is a joke! They take 50% of my money for it, or I could get good health care in the US for $500 bucks a month.

that being said i think the ones making over 400K should not get a tax break. and close some of the loopholes in the tax code.

You can't discriminate on the basis of skin color or gender, but wealth, well, that's another story - you are rich, so you should pay more. Of course, you might have gotten rich by working your ass off 16 hours a day for the past 30 years, by taking a loan against your house, and by risking your whole family's future, but we don't care....

I don't understand it either. What France should do is bring back guillotine executions like the good old days. Set up a guillotine right in front of the Arc de Triomphe, and when a rich Frenchman announces that he wants to renounce his citizenship, you drag him out there and chop his frog eating French fucking head off, chop his cock off, shove it in the mouth of his severed head, and give all his money away to the homeless... and you let the bums piss and shit all over his dead, headless corpse. And rape his asshole with stale baguettes if they want. Kill two birds with one stone: you don't have to worry about collecting taxes from 'em, and you don't have to worry about 'em leaving the country. And you broadcast it live on TV, too.

very true, but I don't think that they "don't care", they just don't understand, they think that successful people got lucky, that they somehow won the lottery of life, they don't realize that 9 out of 10 times successful people achieved success through hard work, sacrifice, risk, etc...

Taxes don't go to anywhere but to pay off the interest owed to the Federal Reserve. Taxing ANYONE more won't "solve" anything.

the root cause of the issue is that government is for sale to the highest bidders. Tax policy, & also spending policy, is made on the basis of helping out special interests.
Obviously the wealthiest people & corporations benefit the most from this situation. Hence you have lower taxes on capital gains as compared to work, tax loopholes to avoid estate taxes, all kinds of corporate welfares like farm subsidies, needless defense spending, deals to prevent medicare from using its market power to negotiate lower prices from big pharma. The Fed is perpetuating this crap by keeping interests rates super low so that the government can add trillions to the national debt at zero interest rates. nothing will change until politicians are forced by a recession to make choices to benefit the people instead of special interests. That moment is years into the future, when national debt interests begins crowding out the cost of boomers hitting the roles. ![]() |

![]() Actually in a flat tax system THEY WOULD PAY MORE. Paying 15% of a million dollars ($150,000.00) is a whole lot more dollars than paying 15% on $40,000.00 annual ($6000.00). The rich are already "paying more" based on that alone.
So what you really mean is, they should pay more than their "fair share" because they're successful? |

You could cut wages, cut entitlements, not supply any kind of health care etc... and the result would still be less workers needed in the future than are needed now. At no point will a worker be cheaper or better than a robot for any form of mundane physical work. At no point will a worker be cheaper or better than a computer for any kind of methodological planning and execution. The only 'jobs' left will be the ones that go to people who are creative enough to design or develop new businesses and products. The so called 'job creators' will be creating jobs for themselves, some bots and a tiny skeleton force of human workers on a global scale. We have only three possible solutions available: 1 - Cull the population severely. Pandemic plague, war of attrition, massive starvation or something of that sort on a global scale. However, most people would vote to have their own taxes raised instead of erecting death camps to incinerate the poor. 2 - Create new labor intensive tasks that can only be performed by humans. However, that's very unlikely and as the pace of technology always accelerates upon itself even if we did create some new need for human labor we would also quickly find a way to automate it. 3 - Learn to deal with the fact that as many as half the people living on our planet are going to get a 'free ride' on the backs of the half that are able to produce. Their quality of life doesn't need to be anywhere close to what producers enjoy in terms of luxuries, but providing basic necessities and a life above the level of abject poverty is going to be the easiest, cheapest and best solution unless people want to start implementing solution #1 above on a massive scale. We can produce much more than we need. The notion that everyone has to contribute their maximum output to avoid shortages is simply mistaken. Paying someone to stay home and actually raise their kids, or limiting who can have kids and supplying people with basic distractions from their sorrows for free while producers enjoy luxuries on an unprecedented scale is where we are headed. ![]() |

With the dawn of the industrial revolution (i.e. less manual labor needed) and petroleum, you have an enormous spike in population that continues for some 120+ years now, and the rape of the planet began. At the rate the population is growing, they say in another 50 years that the western world will have to start eating bugs as there is not going to be enough land left to support the cattle and the traditional diet of today. Only 1% of the entire planet's water is "fresh water", and you have large areas of the planet losing their traditional water sources. The next world war is going to be over food and water.

We are too caught up in who earned their keep, and should instead be trying to maximize efficiency as we provide basic subsistence living for all citizens regardless of their contributions to society (as long as they aren't causing problems for others). Being poor doesn't need to be punitive anymore, and being wealthy wouldn't be hampered nearly as much by the poor if society took a paternal view of people who are less fortunate and made caring for them cheaper rather harsher. |

Get government and big business out of the food industry and the food problem would be solved easily. Instead you have new constitutions being written like the one in Iraq requiring monsanto gmo seeds only by law. The gestapo kicking in the doors of organic farmers here in the US and many other horror stories. Quit using corn for fuels. Release the MANY patents hidden away by large corporations for free energy. Quit filling our water supplies with waste. All easily solvable problems without government and their special interest backers.

a one world commune is the only answer to the future's problems. the elite are resource hogs sucking up clean water, land and energy. we need to do away with them for the greater good of the collective whole. everyone has a job to do and everyone benefits equally as all these jobs fit into one giant puzzle that is human life on planet earth. chasing paper and foolish material possessions is just a distraction to keep you busy while your resources are raped and your body destroyed with toxic over-processed foods. get off the hamster wheel, rise up and lets all take what is rightfully everyone's.

Seriously, in theory your position about over population has merit. At the rate the population is growing in time I can see Player Piano occuring,assuming nothing changes. But after so many years of traveling, I have been to lot of places where technology is generations away from having any impact.There are so many regions where entire countries still live in huts. It's probable that population controls could easily reverse the trend in North America and Europe like it has in Japan. |

Our defense budget needs to be cut to the bone. It was only during the bullshit "Cold War" that we had defense spending so high in peace time. Absolutely no reason to spend this much money on a military. We don't even use it for "defense" anyway. We use it to bully and invade other countries. |
