I celebrate leftists succeeding in our current system.
Some would love to shove certain narratives down our throats like successful leftists are hypocrites, unsuccessful ones are just jealous. There is no amount of money we can make, no way for us to live, that you won’t criticize.
Hasan does a lot of good work for the left. Good for him.

He's a hypocrite. His wealth is built on the backs of laborers. His wealth belongs to the state.

You could seize the wealth of all American billionaires and it wouldn’t even fund the federal government for one year. [/i][/b]
We have a spending problem that is never recoverable by tax increases.

Your finest work. One of the things I like about your posts is how earnest you are, and yet lacking in self awareness. Kudos.

This is a bad look. Abigail Disney actually sees the problem of banana republic 400 families paying the same effective rate as their butlers and secretaries and isn't some fake Twitter jackass. Unfortunately, on this board the main progressive tax proponents are Kobe and Hhussy

Spot on

Why do progressive think that capital gains should be taxes as ordinary income? Capitalism works and taxing capital means less capital which means less investment and that means less jobs for the middle class and even poor people. If Elon Musk sells $1 billion of Tesla stock he would pay $200 million in federal taxes and before he fled Cali another $130 million in state income tax. So, paying $330 million in taxes compared to a secretary paying 16,500 on $50,000 (@33%) of wages seems pretty progressive to me.
PS Tesla has 71,000 employees.
PPS The secretary wouldn't pay 33% either.

I've heard that before. Show me the proof that it discourages investment. I don't know about cap. gains, but income tax was much higher until the mid 80s

Geezus. You want less of something, tax it. If you want more sloth, subsidize it. We tax regular income in blue states at over 50% for big earners. Musk left Cali for a reason. The US competes with the world for capital investment and that was one of our biggest competitive advantages - the security of the dollar and capital in the US and low tax rates on capital. The attitude that high tax rates and inflation don't really mean anything is not the thought of a serious educated person. Sorry (Not really, they are the thoughts of a dementia patient who is POTUS).
PS When the official US position was confiscatory taxation (90% tax rates) is was just theatrical posturing for the morons. No one paid it. Tax shelters were beyond prevalent and the effective tax rate remained in the 20 percent of GDP range.
