It's so sad that we live in a time when such a large percentage of americans think it's perfectly fine for the government to steal most of someone's income and give to other people.
It's funny, DDD just said in the other thread that he thinks Trump is a "terrible human being." Trump though doesn't support taking other people's money to give to other people who have no right to it as ddd and other leftists on this forum do. Doing that would be far worse than anything Trump has ever done.
Do you moroninc socialists really think the extremely wealthy will just sit idly by while they're being taxxed into oblivion? They won't. They will just move somewhere (to a different country) where they can keep more of their money. Then who're you going to overtax to pay for your socialist bs? The middle class? LOL.
Big government socialism would only succeed in ruining this country.

I agree with the sentiment yet large corporations OWN the govt through the lobby. Do you want to press the issue between govt taxes and lobbies with large corporations?

I think it is sad we live in a time when people like you think that billionaires earned their wealth. No one makes a billion dollars without stealing the value of the collective labor of the working-class.

That's more than a bit misleading, isn't it? It was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who proposed a 70% tax on incomes over $10 million, but even that's not a 70% tax on total income; just the portion over $10 million. Warren's plan is a 2% tax on incomes over $50 million, among other things.
If you look at Warren through the fact lens, she's not as easy to label a "socialist!" and "communist!". So it's easier to just misrepresent her points.

Exactly, how else do you think Bezos managed to be worth over a hundred billion dollars when a lot of his employess are on government assistance.
Definitely not a big fan of lefty globalist shill Jeff Bezos... he's almost as bad as nazi collaborator George Soros, imo. Still, I can't criticize him too much considering the ton of business I give Amazon every single week. That would probably make me seem like a hypocrite to some people.

Yup. I agree. 👆
You're showing why we our scores are so close on the political compass test.

Trump is terrible because of his multiple bouts of adultery, debauchery, opulence, selfishness, lying, violence (including thousands of murders), and gluttony. And that's just an average Monday for him.
While you pretend to believe in Christian beliefs and you support your wicked president, I'll continue to call a spade a spade.
He's an evil wicked man. Terribly evil wicked.

There's updated scores with an even better test.

Uh what is this nonsense?
Bezo’s contribution through Amazon most definitely justifies his enormous wealth.
Whether it’s feasible for him to accumulate so much wealth is a different story, at some point, wealth inequality can flip the system, but GTFO with this bullshit.
Stealing? What did he steal? He provided a service. And yes he’s paying his workers less than what they’re worth. But guess what you poor bastard? Most occupations will pay you less than what your worth hourly. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t keep you around.
And a function of your pay is based on how easily replaceable you are. Once people understand this, they start making real daddy stacks.

Pretty much.
Know why Indians on h1b get paid 180k for a job? Because they don't want to pay someone 400k.

Just pay or do we have to take in "total employee compensation"? Because of Obamacare, almost everyone who works for an employer, full time, even making minimum wage, gets a TEC over $40k. Means you're going to save minimum wage working part timers and the unemployed. Idiocracy future it is!
"But raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour!"
