If everyone in this country paid a flat tax rate. The poor would be extremely poor or the rich would be slightly less rich. Anyone who understands basic economics knows that.
Seeing as how 2 young individuals with nothing more than their ideas and knowledge were able to make effectively 500million/year (instagram) proves you wrong. The same could be said for Steve Jobs, Apple, Facebook, etc etc. Taxes don't make people poor or rich, (or at least they shouldn't; great example of government policies hurting rather than helping the individual they are governing). One should never jump from one tax bracket to another due to the taxes they pay. Wealth or lack there of is based upon work, ideas, dreams and realizations. You want to slack off during grade school, college, and your job, you should reap the correlating lack of rewards.
Furthermore, although I agree with you to an extent, I merely said that the word "fair" cannot be used to describe our tax system. Our tax system is anything BUT fair, and "the poor" want the responsibility to fall on the back of "the rich". You even said so yourself, "
Why is it so difficult to understand that this world is built in a way that we thrive on the poor? They make your clothes, teach your kids, serve your food. The least you could do is give them some government cheese."
In nature if an individual is freeloading or not pulling their weight, do you know what happens? They are cut off, rejected from the group, or even killed. It's funny how even animals with their primitive survival thought process comprehend that in order to have prosperity and wealth, all must do their part.Socialism and overpopulation is exactly why we are in the predicament we are now. And in fact, the best thing we could do is to understand that fact and work to fix it.
Lastly, you seem to have a thing against wealthy individuals being taxed equally. Do you know who hires the poor? The wealthy. Do you know who pump the most money back into the economy, as long as it isn't all taken as taxes? The wealthy. Consequently, it would make sense to suggest that if the rich had more money to spend on business, that they would be able to hire more workers, or pay their current ones better. Taking money from the rich and spreading it to everyone equally, just makes everyone equally poor. Failure should never be rewarded.
Want to move up in life? Work for it. Whether it is getting up early and hustling for sales, or teaching yourself calculus so that you can tutor part time. Don't blame anyone else for your lack of success
The government offers tax breaks to investors, on the one hand we believe that encourages actions that improve our economy but according to your logic it is an incentive for some not to work, as money earned through labor is taxed more than money earned through investment. In short your logic is flawed.
What the hell are you talking about? You are illiterate bro. All I said was that having increasing tax % for > income IS NOT FAIR. Simple as that. Riddle me how taking handouts from others who had to earn them, is fair, sherlock
