Exploiting people while on the way to doing that? Wrong. Paying a bunch of government lackeys and lawyers to keep your business productive and viable? Wrong. Adding real value to a society thru a product or service and making a bunch of money doing it without exploiting workers or raping the environment? Right.(03-06-2023, 03:17 AM)Lucky2Last Wrote: Mikey ain't wrong about this. There is a true income disparity in the US that is widening and needs to be fixed.

I agree it's good for those people to get huge rewards for their accomplishments. Theres nothing wrong with the existence of billionaires per se. But we don't necessarily tax the hell out of them. They can acquire money by growing their business and selling shares of it afterwards, but, they are not always taxed on that. Often it goes to a trust. It's a convoluted issue, especially for the extreme cases at the very top, and the large corporations. The most equitable tax is a flat rate tax. Abolish tax loopholes for people and businesses and government. Determine a reasonable low rate (10-15%) and then live within it. Scale back the IRS; we shouldn't be needing as many audits or corporate tax lawyers.
