Should there be a global tax on billionaires?

Support is growing for this.

probably, but I've never seen a success at doing this because they are the ones that control the laws. I'd lower it down to hundreds of millions. Alternative Minimum Tax is one example.

But what does that mean for these people... if they reach a level of success and wealth, they are just going to lose it? These people are smart enough, with enough lawyers and lobbyists, to wiggle their way out of it.

Could be done by taxing Limo's, expensive boats, airplane flights, etc.. Taxing of unrealized profits... ooooohhh!!! "There's more than one way to milk a goat."

Thing is, you screw them, they screw you back x10... including starting wars. "Be careful where you stick that needle Dr... I got a gun pointed at ya...".

1. I am opposed to any form of global government.

2. EVERYONE receives benefits from the government and everyone should pay taxes proportionately on their income. I don't support taxing people on whatever wealth they have accumulated.

hard to do that because they keep their money in stocks rather then cash

If it was applied fairly I would be in favor of it.

Why, so we can give more money away?
Tax'em 85% who cares, we have no integrity. We are jealous little trolls.

[CaptainSmartass]

Nope. There should, however, be global taxes on activists, communists and journalists.

Simples...

Right? Let's make sure to text all the people that are trying to make things better for all of us and instead let the people who are trying to make things worse than who are basically greedy assholes go free and pay nothing.

Activists and communists want to drag us all back to the dark ages. Communism has been proven not to work time and time again. Activists just go around blocking traffic and throwing paint and soup over priceless artworks. Journalists invade people's privacy, write irresponsible health articles, tell us the world's fucked and ruin lives without a care in the world. All so they can sell newspapers, or get views on their TV channels or web pages.

These people don't improve anything. They just make our lives a misery all so one or two people can get their way.

@CaptainSmartass Communism doesn't work and neither does Capitalism. Socialism does.
