    No its not, thats mostly untrue, if they paid their fair share they wouldnt have such obscene wealth. Thats the only way to accumulate suh wealth, fraud.

      That’s a completely void of all logic conclusion you’ve come to.

      How do you define a “fair share”? Does someone being taxed on the value of all of their assets, including unrealised gains, every year compared to someone who pays only tax on their income, seem “fair”? How?

        When the richest don’t have any income, and therefore don’t pay any income tax, it’s not ever going to be fair. They got that rich through exploitation of public goods and services and refuse to pay back in to the system that made them. We must tax wealth as too many have ‘passive income’ in the form of unrealised gains on stocks which they never sell, they take loans out against their value and continuously buy more and more assets until there is nothing left.

          I’m sorry but s soon as you start using the “exploit” when talking about wealth, you give yourself up. Let me guess - capitalism is the problem, and socialism or communism is the answer?

            Give yourself up? As a person with a functioning brain or…?

            Exploitation is the name of the game, or what do you prefer to refer to it as?

                So you are incapable of arguing the facts and so move to ad hominem?

                I think properly taxing the financially obese is the answer. Obesity is harmful.

                    They currently pay fuck all, they need to pay for more for it to be fair and proper.

                    When capitalism actually functioned, we had 70-90% tax on the ultrawealthy, now they pay a lower percentage than the middle class.

                    The ultra wealthy should be forced to pay back into the countries they do business in, or be forced to leave.

                    They are parasites.
