How would you go about taxing wealth?
How do you tax wealth, not income, wealth. Other than an aggressive inheritance tax I'm not sure what would work. I'd love to hear ideas.

They have the nerve to call us greedy when it is they who have their eyes on every one else's money.

1. Never tax wealth that is insane
tax the income made from the wealth at 36% over 250 k a year. Any questions.
Like 36% would ever be enough for you goons.

2. Why would you tax wealth?
You can't just "tax wealth," as long as the wealth was obtained by paying a fair tax rate. Income really, not wealth.
Nothing wrong with being rich, so long as you pay your (fair) taxes and pass some along in charity. IMO.
Oh so now in order to make you happy not only must we tax the hell out of the rich we should force them to donate to charity too?

3. Inheritance tax is probably easiest
So long as loopholes are closed. 50% over time will do the trick. Also tax all capital gains and other investment income at a high level, higher than wages. There is no evidence that lowering capital gains taxes did anything good for the economy.
Why in the hell should the government get half of what one works hard for to leave to their family?
I know you libs think that all money belongs to you, but that is crazy.

9. Could even tax wealth growth
Every year one has to establish their "net worth". Each year, one is taxed on the growth of that wealth If you are getting poorer, no tax. If you are getting richer, there's a tax.
Great idea that way we can keep people poor. :mental:

7. Tax capital gains like any other income, for starters.. . .

On edit.. If all you have to do is sit around to make the money, I'd tax it higher than wages that are, you know, EARNED.
Why risk it if the government is just going to take it from you if you make any money off it?

Oh my.
Think of what hefty inheritance taxes would do to so many primitives.
The Raven primitive and her worthless son the Bostonian Drunkard, the skumbag primitive, Atman, dear cali, and so-o-o many others I can't think of at the moment. There's lots and lots of primitives who are trust-fund kiddies.
I suppose I could include the defrocked warped primitive, as she alleges she got a chunk from her old man, but I'm not believing that. It sounds more credible that after getting caught messing with the narcotics cabinet at the hospital, in exchange for the defrocked warped primitive giving up her license for life and going away, the hospital gave her some dough.

It starts at 36%. Next thing you know, it's 90% under Kennedy.
I have to wonder how he ever got tax cuts through Congress.

Johnson did, after the assassination.
And thus happened a large increase in federal revenues.....because of lowered taxes.

I had always heard them referred to as "Kennedy" tax cuts... I assumed he was in office when they were passed.

Inheritance tax, so the son or daughter of a small business owner has to sell it, fire everyone, just to pay the tax.
Good plan DUmmies.

The family farm gets sold to pay the inheritance taxes and some corporation buys the farm. And DUmmies lament the loss of family farms when their precious government is the one to blame.

Right, (D)Ullards. Tax the crap out of everything that any family tries to pass on to their heirs. Tax responsibility, financial frugality and savers.
You do realize that even the poor try to pass things on to their heirs, right?
:argh:
What do you severely retarded finger painters have against the "middle class"?
:argh: :argh:
Stupid a$$holes.

just stupid is. Ignorant dickheads never see the obvious. But, in their drug fueled angst, it's:
A). Bushs' Fault
B). Evil Corporations Fault
C). Rush Limbaughs' Fault
D). Reagans' Fault
or, Academia's favorite:
E). All of the Above

Yes, there is idiot, but even if you could understand it, you wouldn't acknowledge it.
So, why bother. I'm fairly certain you would find it....:

Exactly. I would guess that 35% of the truly hard-core (D)Ullards are trustfraians or old money inheritors. Of course, for the sake of an internet argument and their quest for "poor people cred", they are all for it.

The OP was speaking in code. The OP meant, how to tax the shit out of kpete and CalPeg.

Both of my grandmas, parents and in-laws live off of capital gains and investment income you ****ing idiot. Why do you hate old people?

Subsidize something and get more of it. For example, food stamps under president food stamps.
Tax something get less of it. For example, cigarettes.
What will happen when you tax wealth?
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
Winston Churchill
It is almost like Sir Winston saw 0bama coming.
-
How's about the "wealthy" refuse to pay any taxes until an actual federal budget is passed and made law?
-
DUmmies, here's an idea, lets reduce the financial burden of the Government on the populace by 50%, starting with all the freebies.

Basic premise...NO man or woman should ever have more than $10 million. Period.
1. All wealth above $10 Million... 100%
2. Wealth $5 to $10 Million... 50%
3. Wealth $3 to $5 Million... 40%
4. Wealth $1 to $3 Million... 20%
Less than $1 Million: No reduction, but income tax rates should be brought back to Eisenhower era with NO loopholes.
With that, we have no problem whatsoever advancing our progressive agenda for the US, integrating us into the world community of civilized countries.

They sure love spending other people's money.

Greedy, envious, lazy, thieving, bastards. :mad:
Why work, save, invest, risk your money and your health to accomplish the American dream of getting rich if the lazy, trifling, greedy, sorry sonsofbitches are sitting in the shade waiting for the government to steal it from you. They're to lazy to even do their own robbing. :mad:

If you could tax "stupidity", our country's financial woes could be solved in a month, from the DUmp alone.

Hey, STUPID!
Did you know Russia has a flat tax, and it's lower than 20%?
Do you realize the "middle class" in this country started decreasing around the time the income tax started? Coincidence?
Do you know that your "progressive agenda" is 40 years out of date, and 20 years behind "the world community of civilized countries" (i.e., the old "Soviet Union"), and has YET to work, anywhere?
DUmmie ban, you might want to start wearing earplugs, because your brains are leaking out of your ears. (It's that crusty yellow stuff you find on the Q-tip.)

They would only be able to do that once.

I seen it happen in the Midwest. Often times the person that inherited the farm was already living on the farm while the parents were staying closer to town. Farming is a full time job and it's easier to live on the farm.
Once mom or dad passed, the kids would have to sell the land to pay the tax, and all they would have left is a few acres and a house.

How about we tax your welfare, moron? It's income so why is it tax exempt? I read somewhere that a family of four, making min wage, gets about $35,000 in gov welfare so that when it is all said and done, a family of four making $60,000 in income actually brings home less than the welfare loser!!!! Now I ain't a member of the smartest bestest people on the innerwebs but even I know that just ain't right.

I think section 8 housing should be a tent. Like sheriff Joe Arpaio told the court about his tent jail... if it is good enough for the military to live in then it is good enough for these losers to live in.

I am surprised this goon brought up having something from a Republican. But in any case when Eisenhower was President, the income tax for top earners was 92%. The top earners were people making $400,000.00 or more a year. So this retard is saying to tax people making over $400,000.00 a year 92%! What a flipping douchnozzled jack ass.
The highest in history was with FDR. It was 94% under him. Liberals seriously hate rich people.

I was reading about the Black Bear and how it's feeding habits are so much like the government.
A bear GOVERNMENT that is breaking into camps and vehicles HOUSES and places of EMPLOYMENT to obtain food TAXES, and no longer has any fear of humans TAXPAYERS, must be killed REDUCED IN SIZE.
An insatiable appetite helps the black bear GOVERNMENT achieve its size which, for an adult FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, ranges from 150-250 pounds trillions of dollars to tens of trillions of dollars.
