If you stop taxing the rich they'll have more money to invest

More likely they'll pocket it.

How about flat rate? Why you morons always want drown whatever group in tax or free them from?
How about every working man and woman will pay same fukin rate so no one can bitch about being screwd?
active your almonds ffs

> implying (((the rich))) give a shit about the country and not their pockets. what a degenerate. kys

>be rich
>already living very comfortably
>get huge tax break
>see no reason to spend money at current time so just invest in some stocks

>>133335328
So a billionaire will pay the same as the average working man? What a fucking colossal deluded brainwashed imbecile.

This, you can thank trickle down economics for the 90's tech boom

>>133336087
do you mean tech bubble?

You realize that would help the economy right?

>>133334838
That's not the argument.

You need to incentivise them to get the fuck out of places like the Cayman islands before you can even think about properly taxing them.

A small tax cut simply wouldn't do it. You would need to be a big, populous country like america and you would need to set the tax rates at very low levels.

This will never happen because fixing the problem is psychologically impossible in a democracy.

Instead of a few million people dying, you will see tens of millions die. All because the cunts in power refuse to piss people off.

Ah this is why financial capitalism is cancer and should be destroyed . Besides , he would probably invest in some state bonds that grant him 100% return 0 risks

>>133334838
problem is they don't invest back into the country...they invest OUT of the country

you underestimate the jew.

lets say 98/100 rich people spend money, the jew will hold on to every shekel and would rather keep his money phsyically hidden in antartica until he dies when a rogue laundry clip clamps his nose shut.

>>133335328
would not work with as many people as america has.

We should just give ALL the money to the rich, then they will create so many jobs we won't be able to choose which one we want to take!

Explain how it wouldn't help?

How much do you want the government to take? The upper class already pay something like 40% + in taxes. Should the the government have a right to half of peoples income or more?

>>133337223
Didn't say they wouldn't. The questions isn't a binary good versus bad. It's a question about which mechanism most effectively moves money around.

Rich is not patriotic. If you have money, you can live whenever you are like to.
But if you have little money, you will try to get almost all of your country.

You are right. Money must flow, not been settled in some bank account.

Just googled it and couldn't find anything relevant to what I said.

>>133337968
No! Why do you get from another maximum point to another? I was talking that there is only bad things about money to be still.

I employ 3 people. A few years ago the government cut my taxes, and while some of it went into more stock and services, i pocketed almost every cent of that tax cut. Unless the cut is literally the salary i need to pay my staff, i sure as shit ain't putting more staff on unless i literally cannot afford not to.

Fact is most jobs currently running efficiently don't need more staff, because there is little demand, because people have less disposable income, because western politicians are physically incapable of clamping down on the uber rich / closing tax loopholes.

I'd be happy to pay 5% more tax if it meant my thousands of customers had more disposable income. And for those interested i wholesale fuckloads of cheap chinesium and plush toys.

Lower taxes, but limit their capacity to take the money elsewhere by taxing international transfers at much higher rates, with exceptions drawn as convenient for national industry (to purchase foreign-produced parts not available in one's country, for example). In that manner, the money is invested in the country, or in the absence of this direct investment of capital, local financial institutions could count on this money.

>>133338000
Yea sure dude you figured it out. All the economic debate and studies that have been conducted around trickle down economics and you just figured it out with "give rich people more money". Truly a scholar.

>>133338108
It's a foolproof plan, m8. The bonus is that because lots of money is going to expire without being spent, you can print even more without debasing your currency.

>>133338262
Maybe I should get a job as an economist then. Sounds like I'm good at it.

>>133334838
the rich spend their money on making more money
most often by creating businesses which is
>creating jobs
>investing in America
>buying American goods and materials
they also Pay their workers who (provided they aren't illegal immigrants) spend their money in America
taxing the rich too much is what causes them to just pack up and leave
therefore you want to have competitive taxes that gives the rich incentive to build businesses here rather than in china or other countries

>but I hate rich people they should pay 90% taxes!!!
you know what happens today when you try to do that?
they leave to countries that don't do that
you know how much American taxes they pay then?
it's the same number as the amount of women you slept with

>>133339130

Yeah man, just compete with china.

>>133334838
top fucking kek
that's why the rich are always money hungry and corrupt right little faggot? stop listening to neocons, get some help

>>133336813
that's why the gap between the poor and rich keeps growing right? classism must be abolished my fascist friend. kick out the degenerates and protect your own kind stop being such a cuck

>>133334838

See, I've personally come to the conclusion that nobody really knows how the fuck any of this shit works, everyone makes their shit look good 'on paper', but it seems like any hard line economic stance fails. It's all just bickering and economic marxism.

Lmao sheep thread

>>133334838
Literally everything bad about economy came from banking. Abolish private financial sector ffs

>>133334838
>Can't argue against this
Sure you can. You can look at history and see that the wealthy never do this. Rather they pocket the wealthy and spend it on personal luxuries. Well the rest of the country starves to death

>they'll have more money
true
>to invest
true
> in the country, create jobs and make everyone else richer in return
false, they could invest abroad instead or invest in things that go to contrary of general well being of the country
so you got options - tax money when it leaves the country, tax money for certain investments (alcohol, drugs, pornography)
it would be however better if you did give the rich tax cuts for investing in the things that do benefit the country which would indeed make sense, just not without limitations to what is beneficial and restricting the use of that money to that specific country
