Let's just tax the rich 90% of their savings.
Anyone who makes over $500 billion a year doesn't need that much to survive. So it's simple. We take away 90% of their money and use it to reduce our deficit and give it to the less fortunate.
Thoughts?

That just wouldn't work.

Cause your to lazy to provide for yourself? Lets face it those people earned their money somehow and I doubt they were drug dealing or playing the lotto for years. Lets take some responsibility here. They deserve what they worked for.

11 RepliesIf you take away the rich people's money they have no way to invest and create jobs. Well think of it this way you have a job of lawn care and you work in a rich part of town. If the people you work for were taxed out of their minds they would have no money to pay you for doing their job which would mean you are out of a job. Another way this could be is the rich people will move out then you have no job. If the rich people leave all their donations to the community would be gone also and then the whole community would be hurt by the taxing.

That would strip the banks of a massive amount of their capital, thus tanking the economy so hard that even a layer of marshmallows a kilometre thick wouldn't stop it from shattering

How about 60% of their tax returns. We use that pile of money to put in the programs we need for recovery. Granted the rich need to pay they're taxes :)

The problem with ideas like "tax the rich" is that the rich don't like being taxed. Rich means powerful, powerful means its never going to happen.

You tax everyone evenly, except for those who can't afford to give anything away. While the percentage is even, the amount of money given is greater the higher you go up the chain.
