politics @lemmy.world•‘I don’t think we should have billionaires’: mayor Zohran Mamdani in his own words
1·11 days agoeven if you consider moving the goal posts to include capital gains, most working class, earning far below the mean, as median income in the us lags the mean significantly, most investments are tax deferred accounts covered under legislation already.
you’ve moved the goalposts to “taxing unrealized gains” by billionaires to evade the essential truth that tax margins are out of whack.
then you only continue to “discuss” that far off goalpost. you are a troll.

2·12 days agobezos takes a smallish salary, I don’t care about that myth, or them, or unrealized gains. we need to rebalance the tax system. if unrealized gains are really such a loophole, then tax borrowing against it. This would hurt small borrowers too. so what?
the rich man loan problem is a red herring. if we ever rebalanced the system, there would also be political will to close loopholes. thus tax code can be directed at large borrowers or some other solution. your response is the “oh it is hopeless so don’t consider it” crap brought up on reddit every time this subject comes up.

9·13 days agoyeah, loans and hising income.overseas, stuff like that. guarantee 5% for the irs budget and regulate them to track down income tax schemes.
there would be some struggle, but things would level out after a couple of decades, and head towards real prosperity.
of course the idea is rough, you’d want narrow margins, and the ability shift it if there aren’t enough high earners, and to apply the same scheme to corps too. all sorts of edges cases and fail points to consider.

21·13 days agosimple solution, tax rate goes up by margins based on the standard deviation from the last year’s income mean. for income more than one standard deviation above the mean, your tax rate for that margin is the percentile rank of your income compared to the last year’s incomes. something like that would be fair. then mandate certain percentages be spent on education, welfare, etc. anything left over in the budget from the last year gets split evenly among all taxpayers.

2·13 days agoAfrica, NA, Central America, SA, the Carribean, Asia, the Pacific, Australia and everything else. Alcohol, disease, war, food, drugs, minerals, sex, amd labor. Everywhere you go, it happened, and is still happening, even in the culture that replaced what was destroyed. There’s always something to steal or take advantage of, for the greedy.

82·13 days agothe grass roots culture across the us is “stay off my property or I will shoot you”. so what’ya expect? the largest cultural influences we have are pioneer culture and capitalism. it isn’t a mature society by any measure, it is the pinnacle of what you get from colonialism.
High stakes indignation, the highest possible. People with real problems don’t get that high.
nspawn ftw. I tried avoiding systemd until I found out how much scripting it saved me. the more I use it, the more I like it.
