tried explaining how if someone made 300k a year for 30 years and saved every penny they'd wind up with 9m, which is is fucking *nothing*. but she couldn't get it. |

TBF you're being ridiculous 9mm is easily enough to be independently wealthy
so it's not nothing, it's the only level of wealth that matters |
|
Date: September 18th, 2021 9:56 AM Author: Fuchsia Buck-toothed Windowlicker Mood 9m dollars is peanuts and doesn't even put you in the top 1% of wealth. obviously most people would be happy with $9m and be able to give comfortably and independently. my point is only that high income wagies are so far apart from real wealth that if they saved every dollar they had they would not be in the ballpark.

Date: September 18th, 2021 10:04 AM Author: Ocher faggot firefighter but realistically I think $100k-$400k year UMC types are going to pay the most in any tax scheme
you know you have 10% of the population making that much
I'm not sure if you can support the 60% of the population that doesn't pay taxes by soaking a tiny number of extremely wealthy people
I mean Joe Biden hands out $40 billion to some special interest every day and he hasn't been President for a year
$40 billion dollar here and $20 billion there, pretty soon you're talking about a lot of money
I definitely think there can be more done to tax the wealthy but the upper middle class is not going to escape it

|
Date: September 18th, 2021 10:09 AM Author: Fuchsia Buck-toothed Windowlicker Mood it's just unconscionable that we are going to tax the middle class *more* when the real wealth in this country is not taxed at all. i'm not saying the umc pays too much. i'm saying if we're going to raise taxes it should come from the wealthy.
intergenerational gilded age wealth is bullshit. why should someone who inherits 100m and lives off of the interest top out at 20% tax (if he's honest, most don't even pay that) while someone that sells their labor pays 40%? makes no fucking sense. |

it gets covered extensively like all DFW startups but I thought it offered an interesting value proposition... would you use a service that wasn't any cheaper if it were less exploitive?
personally I wouldn't however, they're delivering my Adderall now (cause you can't ship controlled substances by mail)
so since I already have the app I will probably use them
I use Uber/Lyft like 6 times a year and at least half the time I get to hear the driver whine about Uber/Lyft |

Date: September 16th, 2021 2:58 PM Author: gay pervert psychic Counterpoints. $450k household income is about top 1-3% of income. The board's definition of UMC is out of touch. They're increasing taxes on Corp's and passive income too. Also, you can't raise any real revenue with just taxes on the .01%. A wealth tax is impossible to implement. They should probably create a bunch more brackets for higher incomes on all of the income taxes (corp, wage, gains, dividends).

Date: September 16th, 2021 3:11 PM Author: gay pervert psychic The distribution of income in this country is the most unequal it's ever been and it will only get worse over the next few decades unless the brackets and rate become more progressive and that money is directly redistributed to the bottom half. I wish that distribution of income were the primary motivator for tax policy in this country. I think it will be as it becomes obvious that only a small percentage of the population can meaningfully participate in the modern economy.

Date: September 16th, 2021 3:27 PM Author: erotic diverse candlestick maker Counterpoint : thanks to our current robust welfare state bottom 20 percent has seen steady income growth. The 0.01% has obviously benefitted the most but this goes back to the point of why are we raising taxes on people who are making 400k (who are already subject to 10 percent state taxes in NYC and California). Mass immigration + paying people not to work is not sustainable
