that's all you got huh?

weaksauce. no refutation, no thesis just... lol.

god what a waste of time your entire existence must be.

Holy multi Strawman attack batman LOL.

Because it’s truly insane and will never get any support in real life.

It's got lots of support IRL already. I support it, therefore your assertion of 'never get support in real life' is specious and incorrect.

Absolutely no one

bzzzt wrong again, I'd vote for estate tax reform in a heartbeat.

no one will vote in favor of the government confiscating all of your property when you die.

if this is what you think the estate tax is you're incredibly stupid. yet another misrepresentation of reality to fit into your premise, but it's so fucking dumb from the outset it doesn't even warrant a reply. Yet here we are.

Tankie shit isn’t popular outside of a handful of message boards.

Taxing the ultra wealthy isn't 'tankie shit' you fucking dirtbag. Cute attempt to associate 'people who don't think a few should horde all the wealth' with 'tankies'.

Your entire argument is lies and garbage. Please, just stop whatever weird piece of performance art this utter shitshow is.

give all the things you want. multiple BILLIONS of dollars? nah man.

imagine telling a grown adult one person shouldn't horder 30% of the money. IMAGINE!

Alternately, is there an invasive species that harms the ecosystems it invades and doesn’t have a non-invasive counterpart?

humans fuck

Could be anything.

could be cheaper to park there overnight .

could be he wanted nachos from some place. either way, 15 mile hops are bullshit.

nothing can be done, so let's just stick our heads in the sand and wail.

oh wait, no, human behavior and values change over time. so we can use that to our advantage by not enabling selfish fucks who refuse to change with the times. No one's expecting metro service to rural households, but also, it's insane to expect your right to your own single person transport while the world is on freaking fire.

so you do you bud, but understand the rest of society is going to change and you can fight it, but it won't make you right.

I just don't understand why suicidal people committed to go out with murder don't kill rapists and other criminal types. if you have to take someone with you....

hasty, uninformed, reckless

very musk lol

books like this fall under the same grouping as those who hate Elon Musk so much

you really should read it, this characterization is bullshit.

Bagged milk is used in food service a LOT.

Bag is actually used a ton in food service in the US too.

come in bags

that's dehumanizing and just rude.

TY, I apologize for the snarky response.

In the end, the only way the super rich will pay their share is to innovate in taxation. This is the real reason the IRS needs a few more billion, sure to have more agents, but also to open a quantum taxation R&D unit, I dunno, maybe build them a new kind of super collider, let's see what happens.

Anything is better than shrugging and moping "that's just the way it is."

Fuck Spez, Fuck Musk too. Lemmy's better now than reddit ever was.

LOL guess we can't tax anyone because it never works then.

NOOOPE.

I love people like you who have ALL the answers, know "all the possibilities" - you're so self confident that you really think you know it all. The IRS LOVES people like this.

They love to spend hours and hours with them, in court. Sure a lot of CPAs have created a lot of dodges in the past. The Tax Code evolves. Our government, slowly, changes and adapts to new fuckery.

But thanks for assuring me there's no possibility, your optimism is about as endearing as your confidence.

Yup. We literally can't balance the budget with the regressive systems (WA and TX especially where there's no income taxed at all, and everything is built on sales and property taxes because fuck you rich people can afford more lobbyists) in place; the disparity between the ultra rich and poverty grows further every day.

how the fuck would I know? what were the taxes like on your home world?

lol someone's still freaked out they found nazis hiding in canada.

they went everywhere, wooOOoohooooooOOOoo, they could be in the room! they could be anywhere. So stop moaning how a few went to maple syrup land instead of argentina and work to identify their ideological descendants and put them behind bars. WW2 vets aren't really fun to beat up at this point even if they were nazis.

Taxing Tesla and SpaceX would certainly impact Musk's bottom line. Personal income is only one side.

There's no single solution, but one thing you'll find in every path to success includes the rich paying a larger share of the tax burden. there's simply no way to have this much disparity between the richest and the poorest without inequities in the tax system.

That won’t really solve the problem.

no single policy change will 'solve' the problem, that's why it's governance, not 'fix it and forget it'. BUT, one thing that would impact this issue greatly would be the:

Corporate taxes topped out at 52% - the tax rate was 30% for the first $25,000 in profits that a company made, and 52% for anything over that amount.

Tesla, SpaceX, etc., earning money would be taxed and that would impact Musk's value. They hide their money in individual compensation, you tax the individual, they hide it in corporate compensation, you tax them there.
