Flat tax, with zero accounting 3 card monte. 5% for poverty level, 10% lower MC, 12.5% MC-UMC. 15% up to $500K. 20% all income over 500K. 20% on Cap Gains up to $1Bil. 30% on all Cap Gains over $1Bil. No loopholes, no write-offs, no pulling forward or late deductions. Fuck that. Flat tax. Period. Those IRS jobs that will be rendered obsolete can be repurposed to validation and monitoring. Make sure EVERYONE pays their share. Everyone.

Well, that isn't exactly a flat tax. And you are needlessly complicating it. A good flat tax would be something like 10% on all income and capital gains and that's it. No deductions, no creative accounting, no loop holes, no one is exempt, not even the poor. You make $20 you pay $2k, You make $2M you pay $200k. You invest $100k and make $50k on it, you owe, $5k. Same for homes or anything else. You lose money, tough shit, it happens. No risk, no reward, as they say.

Yeah ... I think we are in 'Violent agreement' LOL

We agree on 95% of it. I dissent with you only on the term 'flat'. I don't think one size fits all is apropos. Think about this ... If you make $100K on investments, and you gotta shell out $20K, that is a pretty painful chunk. If you make $10 Billion, and have to pay an ADDITIONAL $1Billion, you still got $7Billion. SEVEN BILLION. Sorry, That is still 'buy an island' money. I'm not feeling sympathy for those cats.

Anyway, we 100% agree on no more accounting fuckery. Know who else agrees ... POTUS.

Brother this Plandemic was also done to destroy the middle class and give the globalists a monopoly , which is what the Hussein/Biden Administration accomplished also.

Either you believe in Capitalism or you don't...you can call Bezos cheap, nasty etc. but let's be real, he's successful......I don't believe or agree with ANY of Bezos' political agenda but there will always be rich people in the world as well as the poor...by your statement it sounds like you're more in favor of socialism than capitalism...I grew up upper lower class...sometimes food was scarce, wore hand me downs, never rode a bike I owned,,,,but had much love and parents that believed in financial independence and never expecting the government or anyone else to help them. we did without...fast forward, all of their children are highly successful...that's what makes America Great!!!

Take Bezos down if crimes can be proven but he's separate from investors and workers who benefit if the company is making money. Capitalism is great!

Is Bezos a Democrat?

Remove patents as a start.

edit: If they are not removed completely, decrease the amount of time they can be in effect. The end result is about the quality of the product and service. Innovation will still occur because people have ideas they want to market. Perhaps something other that patents can exist, like the right to claim you're the original creator of X feature or product.

Obviously this would need to be well thought out and no some passing comment on voat.

Poor fags attacking the rich is so pathetic. No one takes responsibility but always wants to point the finger.
