Well duh. And that’s an important point to remember. Why do you care if the fucking government can’t afford stupid shit? And FYI, raising the minimum wage is not something the government needs money to do, they can regulate it, but the employers have to come up with the cash. Do I need to tell you what happens when the taxes are high, demand is low, and the profit margin is razor thin? Labor costs are pretty easy to cut.

It is not really their money. You missed that sarcasm. Workers create wealth. Owners confuscate it. Owners pay salaries off the profits workers create.

Yeah you're so fucking smart you asked , A silly questionS.

Of course I recognized your feeble attempt at sarcasm, comrade nordbergevski. Did you recognize the truth in it though? Short answer for mouth breathing communists: without their capitalist overlords, the noble workers are left with...no work. Without the workers, the capitalist overlords are are forced to turn to highly educated, highly specialized, highly PAID Workers to design, engineer and implement automated systems to replace the pesky workers. Think its BS?

No they don't create wealth, workers provide goods and services. They have no risk. The owners of businesses take all the risk. Workers trade their labor for the security of a regular wage. Low risk low reward, high risk high reward.

Maybe if that recent trillion dollar covid garbage wasn't wasted on paying off failed democratic municipal governments across the country maybe they could have used it to build some roads or something.

That and those silly stimulus checks to those who did not lose their job or income due to covid.

No way in the world any billionaire is paying 27.2% tax, if they are, they have a lousy army of accountants and attorneys.

"The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid a 26.8 percent average individual income tax rate, which is more than six times higher than taxpayers in the bottom 50 percent (4.0 percent)."

Risk? If the business fails, the workers lose their jobs and benefits too. That is lots of risk.

kinda odd how democrats think the wealthy and well to do don't pay their fair share when in fact they pay more then their fair share.
Democrat politicians play the moron followers like a fiddle , mainly because they are morons and its easy to do.

I don't think "fairness" really matters with taxes because "fairness" is so subjective. Its better to create a tax system that best benefits the American people.

This is always one of my favs. They keep getting more tax cuts and loopholes yet they pay a big chunk of total taxes. All that says is they have all the fucking money. During the Trump crash, the wealthy added a couple trillion to their portfolios.Our wealth gap is obscene and dangerous to the country.

so its ok to have a tax system thats fair to one group but not to another instead of a system thats fair to everyone

That is the way the progressive income tax is designed to work. Those with more money pay a higher tax rate. The share of federal income tax paid by the wealthy has continued to increase over the years.

I guess your solution is for government to take that money away from them?

Not more than the capital it took to get the business going. You're a fool if you think the work has as much invested as as much to lose as the business owner.
