RE: My solution: TAX THE RICH

The rich own the politicians and they set the system. Jeff Bezos has an $80,000 salary and he pays tax on that $80,000 just like everyone else. His money is coming from well not a salary so he's gamed the system in ways where he pays nothing and Amazon pays nothing.

Elizabeth Warren had the idea of a wealth tax probably the only solution to actually extract money out of billionaires but that went nowhere. Personally, I think 99% of everything over $1billion should be taxed (wealth not income) and if any billionaire tries to funnel money or hide the money they should be shot and 100% of all their assets seized. The Billionaire Class is = to Marie Antoinette - the world is overpopulated and so if we shot every billionaire and took all their wealth - not a single one of them (or all combined) would not be missed not for a single second nor would any of their companies miss them. The stock might dip for a minute but countless BA degree holders could run their companies 100% just as well for a fraction of the price.

But we live in the real world and that's never happening so ...

Mind you I am talking about the nesting doll yacht wealthy not the average millionaire.

The reality is that the top wage earners pay the most in taxes as in percentage and in overall money. The guy who gets an education and kills himself in school and works hard (doctors, engineers, lawyers etc) should get paid more and benefit more than the person who did nothing in high school except be a class thug/bully and now sits on his ass ranting that the rich should pay more money. I am still a liberal because I also think people should make a living wage even if they work at McDonald's because times have changed.

I tend to agree with the Aaron Sorkin on this one.
