Taking money from the rich is why we have successful micro-nations. Like that tiny one in France where the Rich live to avoid taxes.

Obviously not anymore. They're dead.

Did they miss yours?
Andalite
Well, that’s if we liquidate all their assets. I’m terrible with math and fuck billionaires, but doing that can’t be good for us
LeSethX
Cant help but think if that much money was suddenly available instead of tied up in stocks, it would massively devalue it.
pandro
you guys are thinking. things through. that's not what mob justice and socialism is about, lol!!
IWouldLikeToGetOffThisRideNowPlease
Listen. I am all for ending world hunger and poverty but if we resort to “seizing” money from billionaires then we’re setting ourselves >>

up for a utilitarianism aspect of society in which the ends justify the means, and that feels super dangerous to me.

Sometimes, just sometimes, you can tell a person's position in politics by their meme dumps.

#3 I find it sick that people continue to glorify the idea of violently expropriating wealth and property from a certain group of people
Exoticz
but act like they have the best intentions. Please think your ideas through a bit more, you're not a good person if you think this is okay.

as other people are pointing out, billionaire assets are in stocks etc. If you seized Bezos' amazon shares and tried to sell them, 1/

And why exactly do you think we have the right to seize someone's money just because they have alot? That sets a dangerous precedent...
Anonypuss
It's not a precedent. They pay less now in taxes than in the past. No reason not to raise them again. (1/2)
Anonypuss
In Eisenhower's reign (a republican) the top tax rate was 90%. The entire post-ww2 golden era had much higher rates than now (2/2)
Exoticz
Virtually nobody paid that 90% tax, you know that right? Just because that was the rate doesn't mean people paid it. Currently the top 1%
Exoticz
pays about 40% of all income taxes. If you want complete fairness, you should want them to pay less. Much less.
johnvictor
They can still afford to pay much more in taxes than they do and it wouldn't affect their lifestyle at all.
Exoticz
That doesn't make it okay, though.
johnvictor
Having a financially top heavy system where wealth is hoarded by a few results in a system primed for collapse where the bottom own nothing.
Exoticz
If you think the wealth is just "hoarded" instead of earned and invested back into the system which runs the whole economy, you don't
Exoticz
really understand what you're talking about.
Nicolasinacage
Don't people understand that nobody really has 15 billions in a bank account tho? These $$ are company shares, property etc and 1/2
Nicolasinacage
While I agree nobody needs that much money you couldnt just "take" 40 billion in amazons shares from jeff bezos without f'in the company up
Nicolasinacage
Or take 4 billion worth of property off someone who owns a lot of buildings and magically turn it in money for the poor
NinjaCongo
Oh. Well astronomical wealth differences must be ok then.
Nicolasinacage
That is not what I'm saying, on the contrary. However oversimplifying the problem will never resolve it.
NinjaCongo
If you're looking for nuanced philosophical-economic debate, Imgur might not be the sweet spot.
Nicolasinacage
Damn it, I was hoping to find a complete and well explained 140 characters solution!
mrmayortheiv
Does that matter? It still IS real wealth. It's tied up in that manner because that is how they can make more money. They can and do
mrmayortheiv
Liquidate assets whenever they want or need to. But in the meantime it makes them more money and accumulates in the hands of a few people.
mrmayortheiv
Your argument is really common but fundamentally flawed in my opinion.
Nicolasinacage
How is it flawed? I'd be curious to how you think a sudden sellout of 50% of a company's actions won't affect the company. Care to explain?
Nicolasinacage
Or for example for someone who owns 6 billion in property, what we just force them to sell 5b of it to take it as money? Then who is buying
Promethianfire
Liquidate those assets to pay for the things you suggest means you're removing the means by which employers do business
Nicolasinacage
Does not work this way. They "could" liquidate assets but that would also leave companies in financial difficulties behind and cost jobs etc
Nicolasinacage
I am against rich people evading taxes, getting dumb tax breaks etc but you also have to be aware of how this stuff really works.
Nicolasinacage
Say we cap people's wealth at some arbitrary number, they would not strive to create wealth past this point, or they'd find a way around it.
parkerh17
I've read a lot of what you said and while I mostly agree, not all of it is REAL wealth as the tweet said it came from Forbes and believe 1/
parkerh17
It or not this info likely comes from their net worth. A persons net worth is not just liquid and solid financial assets there is also 2/3
parkerh17
A weird philosophical "potential" that is factored in. Iirc same thing with stock prices. 3/3
TrikStari
Yeah the thing about the billionaires is good until you realize that all their money is in assets and not actual currency. The left is so -
chargeling
I do have to ask: what exactly does that change? (Seizing 6×10¹² actual dollars would cause severe economic destabilization anyway.)
FractalPrism
so seize the assets, MATH IS HARD
3MsAndaJTL
Wat happens in 10yrs-when there are no employers, &Uspent “the wealth” of the wealthy 9 years ago? This is a law..of unintended consequences
FractalPrism
also, they wont stop being employers, they will complain but it will be business as usual.
3MsAndaJTL
They wont stop being employers. Theyll just stop paying u $15-20/hr so they can pay underdevelopd countries $.05/hr. Dat shipping isworth it
FractalPrism
ok boomer

wont happen. other ppl will start businesses. this is the law of capitalism

If you have all your money tied up on assets and the IRS hands you a bill for taxes, what do you do?
newsguycraigevans
W. Bush and GOP ruined the economy leading to the mess in 2008. Obama and Dems fixed it. trump admin is trying to ruin it again. Facts.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
I'll never understand why you right-wing dipshits are so gung-ho about pointing out not all wealth is liquid. It's still fucking wealth.
Zombieemperor
or maybe it was a point about the astronomical amount of money contained within a disgustingly small number of people
3MsAndaJTL
did they steal it from you? How much do you pay in taxes? How many hours do you work? They didn’t get rich by sitting online scheming
Zombieemperor
wellllll some of them kinda do, sorta, most of the money is made via interest on investments with old money from family,$makes$
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Actually, your mock explanation is much closer than your implied one that they worked many hours for it.
Zombieemperor
depends on if you count tax dodging as stealing too, thats a big thing for some rich people
mrmayortheiv
Assets which continually generate wealth for them, remain tied up in their hands and not in the economy as a whole, and can be liquidated...
3MsAndaJTL
Well, if the US would have held on to ANY asset... this might apply. Instead, they put one investment up as collateral for the next
Promethianfire
Dude. Most of those assets ARE the economy. At least a significant % of it. It's not stacks of gold.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Everything worth anything is part of the economy. What does it matter if it's not in stacks of gold?
Promethianfire
Because stock isn't a fungible asset. You can't just liquidate it without wrecking the economy. You -could- distribute it, but that doesn't
Promethianfire
Give you cash to spend on other things.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
What do you think happens when you liquidate it? It evaporates?? Someone else will own it you idiot.
