Re: When socialism comes to America..
Still not socialism. It’s oligarchy mixed with a little kleptocracy under the guise of capitalism. Maybe Bill is blaming the wrong people? Maybe Bill needs a better accountant and tax attorney? This doesn’t even touch the issues with corporate taxation.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2026 5:03 amWhat is their “fair share” of what someone else has worked hard for
Selfish and greedy describes those that wanna tax the rich even more
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... SApp_OtherThe top one per cent owns more wealth than the bottom 93%.
the average American worker is making almost $20 a week less today than he or she did 53 years ago, after adjusting for inflation.
According to the Rand Corporation, over the last 50 years, $79tn in wealth has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. Almost all of the gains in worker productivity have gone to the top.
In 2006, Warren Buffett memorably said: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
Mr Buffett went on to say that he, a multibillionaire, pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. What Buffett said was true 20 years ago. It is even more accurate today.
In America today, billionaires now pay a lower effective tax rate than the average worker. Elon Musk paid an effective tax rate of less than 3.3%, while the average truck driver paid 8.4%. Jeff Bezos, now worth $223bn, paid an effective tax rate of less than 1%, while the average firefighter paid 8.7%.
Michael Bloomberg, worth $109bn, paid an effective tax rate of just 1.3%, while the average registered nurse paid 13.3%.
And Warren Buffett? His tax rate was just 0.1%, while the average schoolteacher paid 9.8%.

If you don’t sell, it’s not taxable!
We’re not talking about their taxable income where they pay the highest rates
They give a lot to charity

Re: When socialism comes to America..
Google co-founder Sergey Brin slammed the proposed billionaire tax in California, likening it to the socialism that he fled with his family from the former Soviet Union.
Brin is one of the billionaires who relocated out of the Golden State to avoid the potential wealth tax that's expected to appear on California voters' ballots this fall. The proposal would impose a one-time 5% tax on residents whose net worth exceeds $1 billion.
"I fled socialism with my family in 1979 and know the devastating, oppressive society it created in the Soviet Union. I don't want California to end up in the same place," Brin said in a statement to The New York Times regarding a story by the outlet that discussed his move.
