  • Tucker takes on professor who's an admitted socialist calls for making the rich pay more than their 'fair share' in honor of Tax Day. Does this include Bernie Sanders?

      Most will stay because as of right now, they are still able to make their millions here, even with high taxes. Keep in mind that she is not saying to tax all of the wealth at 80%. She is saying to tax wealth over X amount. I don't remember if she said that number though.

      @@sptrader6316 ... Theft can be related to greed because when the government steals your money the greedy politicians find ways to put the majority stolen into their pockets indirectly as they give out pennies to the actual causes they claim to fund.
      One has to wonder how a career politician gains wealth enough to purchase multi million dollar properties and do it legally with the salaries they are paid along with how much they spend on their "election campaigns". For the longest time I never understood why someone would spend millions of $$$ to get into an elected position that only pays $100,000 and then I started to learn how they really get their money after they are in office. Insider trading, kickbacks to their friends businesses, setting up "charity foundations" that only need to have a 25% liquid asset base and only has to pay out 10% of what they bring in towards actual charity vs 90% towards "administrative costs", huge "speaking fees" at elitist events and a ton more we are not even aware of yet.

      Its proven that over the majority of homeless or financially struggling people are in that state due to domestic violence or loss of jobs, so it isn't necessarily that these people are lazy, it that they don't have the same financial opportunities as others who actually can spend 200K on college. So if people actually live on a socialist level, they will already have housing, food, healthcare, etc. But I also don't think its exactly fair to take away 80% of the top 1%'s money to suffice for the rest of the country but everyone will have more than enough money to spare even if they give up 80% to taxes as they will already have housing, food, healthcare, etc.

What needs to be done is changing the all system": and in USSR they did it and look how it ended up. I am saying that taxes in USA need to increase for the richest 1 % but not at that level because you will remove money from the economy since the state will loose that money by increasing the bureaucracy to control all the new functions it will have to do to replace the private sector. That's the difference between Europe and USA.

      Didn't the US have a top marginal tax rate of 91% in 1960? That's equivalent to a tax on all wealth above 3 million dollars today when corrected for inflation. Interestingly enough, we were going through a very prosperous time back then and the top 1% didn't all leave the country because they paid too much in taxes.

      @stephen kroll I'm not entirely sure what point you're making with that whole work/life balance spiel, but yes this is true - many people within this bracket have the means and motive to dodge tax via accountants, lawyers, offshore accounts. However, that doesn't make a tax rise futile, even one to 80% (which IMO is too high by the Laffer Curve and should be 70% max). Raising a tax to this level has minimal costs on the part of the government, and the reality is that not everyone will avoid it - i.e. there will be a rise in tax revenue - more so than if the raise wasn't made in the first place. Some taxpayers may be charitable, and some may not be millionaires - perhaps earning 500K a year, and so the costs and effort of dodging the tax are simply not worth it, and outweigh the benefit. Furthermore, I hardly see a downside to increased demand by the rich for lawyers and accountants as a result of raised taxes.

      Dougie Drums Who would get off the couch for 20%? Do you know what this professor is proposing. An 80% marginal tax rate for those in the uppermost tax bracket, which in the US is almost 500,000$. This means that all the money beneath that are taxed in the relevant brackets and wealth accumulated over 500,000$ will be taxed at 80%. Nobody’s “getting off the couch” for this sort of salary. This sort of money is accumulated, not earned, from bonds, investments, stocks, etc.

      Anton Zuykov No, she's proposing a marginal tax of 80% on anything above $470,000. In other words, if you made $500,000 in a year, only $30,000 would be taxed at 80%. This rate was much higher during multiple other presidencies.

      @M M don’t talk like you know anything of economics, one of the first things you will learn is how free-er the market (less engagement from the gouvernment) how better the economy, how higher the wages, more jobs, less unemployment,... So taking more money from the people is NEVER a good thing. Don’t even try to argue with me I’m studying the highest form of economics in the 45th best university in the world. English is my 4th language so I know there are lots of mistakes but you can understand everything perfectly fine if you want to at least.

      @M M No one's a jackass here, that's for starters,
      second, owning "a" sweatshop won't make someone a billionaire, a millionaire? Maybe, a billionaire? Nah. Thirdly, billionaires don't own sweatshops, large multinational corporations that use labor in the 3rd world and developing economies to sell cheap products everywhere else do,
      Fourth, no one just ups and tells themselves "whelp, i'm going to be a billionaire", unless you provide a product or service that a lot of people want and are willing to pay you for, you won't be a billionaire, multi-millionaire? Absolutely. There are millions of millionaires around the world, you won't run out of friends.
      Fifth, why can't people who aren't in the 1% defend the 1%? So when someone does that you get to holler at them for "licking the boots of the mega-rich?" So you get to define what "licking boots" means? Are they getting any money from them? Any kickbacks? Can you prove it? With facts and figures? With numbers on paper?

      The 20% from the upperclass is worth like 80% of the world probably more lol just to put things in perspective. But 80% tax is a terrible solution even 50 is a bit absurd to me because alot of rich people also drive the economy but I dont think you understand how society works. Look at the aftermath of colonialism. literally why alot of countries got rich but anyways exploitation of people has always been in history and it's not unheard of to balance the economy so that jobs can be created. Im not advocating for a full blown policy expansion into Keynesian economics or raising taxes but right now there isn't alot of things being done about the technological gains of alot of conglomerates. You can easily withdraw like a tons of shares of amazon and still avoid taxes if done smartly that's just one example and it may not circulate the money to the middle lower class. The question isn't what is wrong with people it's looking into how to stop people from living on scraps and create a better economy so that alot of people can start getting livable wages and businesses become successful too. Execution of this idea is terrible but it's is something in the right direction when trying to fix the horrors of human capitalism even though there were massive gains from it as well. Thinking like this is a step in the right direction if you care about the future of humanity and your kids. btw i think Value Added Tax of VAT so people circumvent the tax system less and more people can spend is so much better than what this crazy professor is suggesting.

      @@twayne4608 Millionaires will still be millionaires and billionaires will still be billionaires. Don’t worry they will still be richer than entire cities and even countries and they will still hurt the economy by keeping trillions stored away in bank accounts. The American Dream will not die due to this, in fact, the billions used in public programs can enable people to rise and therefore revive the American Dream, which has died in the last couple of years as most wealth is inherited rather than earned. That’s why countries with strong social welfare, such as the Nordic countries, rank higher than the US in terms of free market economy index. If people aren't willing to provide a fair share and therefore hurt society as a whole, then that's something we could consider a punishment.
