There's a very high chance I both make more money per year than you and also have a higher net worth.
I recognize that, despite having made a pretty damn good living, my pockets are getting lighter at the expense of not only those below me, but by those above me. I look out for me. You look out for your overlords.

Higher taxes on anyone will not improve such people's lots regardless of what they do or how they act.

I think the $400k threshold is too low for increases but really need to see the details to better evaluate (at least it's not the $250k Obama pushed). The wealth gap in this country is problematic, to say the least, but can be somewhat mitigated by a reevaluation of taxation on the very top earners (aka, no one on the OT).
Narrator: It's not problematic at all other than people preaching that it's problematic and increasing angst between classes

Hey here you go more stimulus money even though you don't work or pay taxes. Here you go a 7k tax return for having 3 kids with no baby daddy.

What an absolute disaster of a presidency, and it hasn't even been half a year.

The fundamental difference between you and most here is that you believe the way to narrow the "wealth gap" is for Government to tax producers at an increasingly higher rate, to in turn give that tax windfall to the non-producers. Instead of fostering a competitive economy
that allows for corporations, industry, and business to expand and develop, thus providing jobs and "wealth" for those people. Taxes should not be a tool of closing the "wealth gap". Primarily because tax hikes suffer greatly from the "Law of Unintended Consequences". But, you don't give a shite about that because you have some warped Robin Hood view of economics.

Here’s how it ends up:
Tax rate for rich will go up but include more tax breaks so most will not pay more. Can’t piss off the political donors.
Poors will get handouts to buy their vote.
Middle class and working class will take it up the arse and pay more, not by raising our rates because it’s too obvious but by eliminating or reduce tax breaks.

I agree with this and I also think the top whatever percent could pay more than they do. I'm a mess

Because people are willing to pay it?
Plus printing money generally leads to inflation, despite the fed saying inflation is no big deal

Uh, no.
Our infrastructure fricking sucks. Increase taxes on the wealthiest, who have been making out like bandits for the last 40 years, and invest in this country. This creates jobs. Jobs create income. Income creates tax revenues and increases economic demand. Demand creates more jobs.
I am against redistribution.

So you think that if they could raise their prices 8% and increase profits right now they wouldnt have already done so? You really dont understand how pricing works
