We just think they should pay taxes. Instead of writing laws to benefit a small number of the filthy rich. And no I don't think Amazon should get state tax give aways either. No property taxes is just bad for my city. Maybe yours to.

Who should pay taxes? Corporations?

I STRONGLY DISAGREE!!!

Because upper management measures their performance in terms of NET profit. As such, you tax those, say, 30% and they'll cut on "creature comforts" for employees by 30%. Their profits are ordained from the top and the bottom are squeezed however hard they have to be squeezed in order to generate the rich's wealth.

Also, if an average joe saves enough to buy shares, those shares are going to have their profits taxed the same as the billionaire's. That would be very anti-egalitarian.

No, tax the rich. No loopholes.

This is addressed with wealth tax and income tax over 50 million at 70% give aways to corporations bottom line. This is a real problem for me it's your money use it or lose it. I'm sick of paying for the hording of the filthy if you believe what you say then who owns the 26 trillion dollars deficit? you and me. We pay more then them by percentage money taxed fact. The fed "banks" create this money we pay for it.. I know that hurts but as it's horded it must be taxed we have to pay for that. Now more than 350 US corporations pay 0 nothing on 100s of billions of dollars every year ask you self what really makes them better than you? It our money the 99%. They can't just steal it out of the economy they can't buy enough shoes we can the 99% we are the economy they are nothing more then a cockblock to America we are going to fix that join us I know you want to!

This should be fixed through actual socialism (not communism which is what a lot of people in the USA believe "socialism" means).

But do you understand that taxes don't pay for anything? They are just a drop in the bucket and a means to keep you and me down. They are a drain on the people, and do not serve any significant funding because as you say, the Fed prints any trillions it feels like, which becomes debt for Joe Average.

No, besides socialist policies, the private central banks must be ended and the money must be created by the nation itself. This is a given. And then public debt voided.

An example of socialist policy would be a law that a corporation MUST firstly increase worker compensation by last year's inflation number BEFORE anything else. And also that its workforce must be proporational to its turnover, so that you don't end up having 20 people doing the work of 100.

I'm not calling for that 😂 nor am I interested in a game that is silly we got this system and working the system is what we are calling for. Tax the wealthy the same as us pay a living wage educate the population. Remember it's the young who inherrit what we do. Right now it's upside down. We don't need to upend the system we just need to adjust it. Taxes for the common good is better.

What do you mean? You are talking about actual socialism. That's fine, that's the solution, we agree, and yet you say you're "not calling for that"? What "that"?

Capitalism needs to be regulated so Joe Average doesn't get shafted. Any regulation to capitalism that aims to reduce iniquity is socialism. It's a GOOD thing no matter that the 'newspeak' definition of the word is made to scare people away.
