RHOPKINS13 ( @RHOPKINS13@kbin.social ) 40•5 months ago…maybe if the rich people paid their fair share… both in taxes AND in wages… people wouldn’t be living in poverty… cutting back on senseless wars could help too…
Cowbee ( @Cowbee@lemmy.ml ) 7•5 months agoFair share means ending the tyranny of individual ownership of the Means of Production. Taxes are a good start though.
MisterD ( @MisterD@lemmy.ca ) 7•5 months agoYou tax their WEALTH. They make damn sure they don’t get a salary to avoid taxes
Kairos ( @LodeMike@lemmy.today ) 23•5 months agoThey’re saying this to Bernie Sanders? Bro what,… have you heard literally anything he’s said?
Melkath ( @Melkath@kbin.social ) 1•5 months agoIf Bernie shot off a tweet that said “you could write me in”, I would be DOWN.
Bet he would take general… we would need to make them actually count though.

Melkath ( @Melkath@kbin.social ) 1•5 months agoYa, gotta make sure Genocidal Joe has a solid shot of finishing the job with the Palestinians.
And that he gets us resoundingly balls deep in military conflicts with every middle eastern country.

GenderNeutralBro ( @GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org ) English19•5 months agoLike landlords? Investors? Heirs?
massive_bereavement ( @massive_bereavement@kbin.social ) 9•5 months agoI honestly thought this was about landlords…
blazera ( @blazera@kbin.social ) 9•5 months agoI was so confused not knowing what community this was in. Im like, “…but that’s what Bernie’s all about, not giving out money to rich executives”
rgb3x3 ( @rgb3x3@beehaw.org ) English8•5 months agoI’m of the opinion that people making less than 50,000 a year should only be paying like 5% in taxes and FICA/SS. And anyone under 150,000 taxed at 10%. Because the people making above that can afford to pay the typical 20% or more, but less than 150k is not all that much these days.
And then the mega-rich need to be paying way more than they do. Not just income tax, but capital gains tax and tax on the total value of their assets above 5 million (don’t @ me with this number, it’s an example) or whatever.
