Can we just tax billionaires who take out infinite loans against a market they get to rig because they take out infinite loans against a market they get to rig because they take out infninite loans against a market they get to rig because they takeout infinite loans agianst a market they get to rig because thye takouet inifnite loans?

I don't think this "infinite loans" narrative holds water. The richest people in society pay the most taxes, not zero.

[cbarnes99]

They pay the most taxes, but they also pay the lowest percentage of taxes compared to the money and assets that they have.

What does the percentage has to do with anything? Do they have more percentage in voting? Or in the spending of the money they pay as taxes?

I don't know how people have the guts to pretend equality, but not in taxation. One human, one vote, one dollar.

> Do they have more percentage in voting?

Considering they basically own and operate the uniparty and its media apparatus, they have enormous influence over the entire electoral process and peoples' thoughts to a degree that makes any notions of 'democracy' illusory at best.

It was bad for decades, and then corporation-controlled social media brought the corruption to new heights.

[AdrianB1]

That is just a bad deflection, not an answer to the point.

[swed420]

If the system is shown to be corrupt, the point becomes irrelevant.

[cyanydeez]

oh, they pay the most income taxes which are not in millions or billions.

It's bizarre to think people who can change the tax brackets via dark money are "paying the most".

Sure man, if I pay zero because I'm homeless and you pay a dollar; wow! you're paying the most taxes. Congrats on your logical fallacy.
