In the real world, America has one of the best economies on Earth

Unlike you, I don't have envy of those that are rich and a desire to punish them by confiscating their wealth. I don't see the 'money pie' as fixed in size, and think anyone can grow wealth if they really want to.

I also believe firmly that government is the worst way to accomplish just about anything. Government is slovenly, incompetent, uncaring, and expensive. So, giving government masses of money generally results in poor outcomes with much of that money squandered.

Thus, massively taxing the rich accomplishes nothing but negatives.

Yep, economists do agree with me...

History has demonstrated that tax rates above 24 percent tend to result in reductions of revenue collected. Like everyone else, affluent citizens will not continue to behave the same way they did before after their taxes are raised.

America taxes lower- and middle-income families at a substantially lower rate than other major economies. Decades of refundable child tax credits, earned income-tax credits, increased standard deductions, and lower marginal tax rates have essentially moved half of all families off the federal income-tax rolls. America’s non-wealthy families also benefit from lower payroll-tax rates than other nations and, most important, the lack of a VAT.

Lessons from history: France’s wealth tax did more harm than good

If a Wealth Tax is Such a Good Idea, Why Did Europe Kill Theirs?

The rich didn't get rich by being stupid. They will react to what they perceive as unfair taxation by taking steps to avoid it. The Left doesn't get that. They think the rich will simply knuckle under, bow to their whims, and pay the tax. Nothing could be further from the truth or reality. All massive tax hikes on the rich get you is decreasing tax revenues and economic hardship.

You benefit totally from government taxes being on welfare, Medicare, SNAP, Section 8, social security, and whatever else you can get from the government tit. I guess that means you should be the one paying the most in taxes by your standard.

Confiscation? Envy? You do make crazy statements based in nothing. We built the road system in Ikes time. I am sure the narrow reading material that amuses you does not cover the worst wealth gap in history, even worse than the Gilded Age. https://americancompass.org/economi...vyE745f22MPcmlggydZWYY5GwFIWf2UhoCuFYQAvD_BwE

Apples to oranges. You are making an Affirming the consequent fallacy. Taxing the rich heavily or not does not make or preclude building roads. One doesn't necessarily lead to the other.

You are so lost. The wealthy train you to think the poor and needy are confiscating what is yours as they pick your pockets and laugh at you. We have slashed help for the poor because people like you are trained to look in the wrong direction. The fruit of your labor is going to the wealthy at increasing rates. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/six-facts-about-wealth-in-the-united-states/ Even right wing sites recognize the facts and the problems the inequality are causing.

Yep, government interference in our lives generally does cause problems...

It has failed every time it was implemented by the Republicans

Thankfully, the Republicans do far less of expanding government than the Democrats otherwise we could end up like Venezuela...

Stop waving the idiot ideas around like it works

I'm not waving around the idiot idea that government is the means to get things done because it isn't. That's how you fail massively at stuff--let government do it.

I don't care if the rich get richer--a lot. I get richer by doing valuable work, investing, and saving too. I might not get as rich as the fabulously wealthy, but I still get better off too. Your continued envy of those that have done better is blinding you.

Ad hominem.

What do you expect, an article on how massive taxation of the rich doesn't work written by Karl Marx? (One of your favorite authors, I hear...)
