We should raise taxes on the rich to 94% again. It worked very well when FDR was president, and it would work now too..
well memed
upvoted good sir, posted on /r/SandersForPresident
>94%
Kek so you want billionaires to live like us filthy middle class.
>>68722356
Yes.
Actually, that wouldn't be enough. We should tax all corporations at 97%
>>68723060
if they're going to be middle class anyway, why would they bother to earn all that money to begin with?
>>68721847
in modern monetary system, the government is not funded by taxation, but by printing money
>>68723810
Shhhhhhhh...
>>68723810
They'd still be rich even if they were taxed at 94-97%
>>68721847
there was a time when no matter what economic activity you did you could claim it as a write off, somehow
those days are long gone and you are stupid for forgetting them
>>68721847
technically the government doesn't even need to tax, it control the printing press, so it can never run out of money
>>68721847
We should raise the tax on your faggotry. I've found a source for infinite money and energy.

I know perfectly well this is bait, and screw you for making me respond to it, but FDR's policies did next to nothing as far as getting us out of the Great Depression. The outbreak of war and the fact that we needed to build a shit ton of planes in a hurry is ultimately what revived the economy. Technically speaking, Adolf Hitler did more to get the US out of the Great Depression than FDR did.

The millionares don't earn income like the rest of us. The only people you would hurt are doctors and small buisness owners. Those people who arent rich enough to afford accountants to shuffle money around to avoid taxes.
>>68724161
Kind of funny you'll mention that
>>68724267
tell me why government need to take back rich people's money which the government itself printed?
>>68724357
I didn't know that Canadian money was worth just above 3/4ths of ours.
>>68724555
Because rich people need to pay higher taxes.
>>68723890
Nigga YOUR government is funded by printing money
You'll be Greece 2.0 in another decade
>>68724871
but how does rich people pay higher taxes benefit you?
>>68725251
That way, we can lower taxes on the middle class, and we can have stuff like universal healthcare.
>>68725448
Nigga get the fuck out
If we don't come down hard enough on millionaires and billionaires, then they'll take over this country, and democracy will become a thing of the past.
Not against this, provided that we're using the money for better reasons than giving people kickbacks and intentionally fucking up accounting to embezzle. But that'll never happen, so never mind.

No one knows where the Laffer Curve peak is for the United States. The best guess is that it's higher than 60%, but no one's ever tried anything remotely close to that.
>>68724283
The Laffer curve is just that!
>>68721847
Decreasing taxes on business and increasing taxes on the personal wealth of the very top would be ideal.
>>68721847
Umm.. No one used to pay taxes retard
>>68725448
but you can already have these by printing money
