That’s a hard pass for me. I’d rather opt out of social security. It’s a ponzi scam. If the government had put that into a private account, I’d have millions of dollars in there.

    So you’d be fine being taxed at 50%? I wouldn’t. In most other countries the citizens pay a higher burden than the corporations. So you’d be fine with 50% of your wages gone?

      Hold your goalposts there partner, corporations might pretend to be people, but last I checked, people still aren’t corporations.

      You can lose this argument gracefully, or you can lose it like a clown, your choice.

        You’re the clown who isn’t being clear.

        If we tax corporations to death, they’ll just move to a lower tax area.

        It’s what they did with manufacturing. Taxes need to be fair. Otherwise companies won’t play.

          Make them fair for everyone, by raising them.

            For everyone ? I’m fine with that. Everyone should pay their fair share.

              I’m glad we agree. People making less than ~300K are certainly paying their fair share, it’s time for corporations to step up and face that 50%+ tax rate.

              The rich can follow suit.
