Empty talk as he knows the House will do no such thing. Just pandering tbh no matter what you think about if it's a good idea or not.

We see threads here all the time about leftist voters being mocked after facing the consequences of their votes, especially when being violently attacked in blue cities....but billionaires, who are voting for leftist politicians promising to increase their taxes ten fold...like I said, must be protected at all costs.

What do you think happens when taxes go up on said corporations? Do you think they eat it or do you think the cost of goods goes up. I.e. our prices go up?

Lmao stop. Over 50% of inflation was corporate greed - meaning they just jacked up their prices for quick profits. Then they shrink their products and keep their jacked up prices. They're making record profits - time for them to start paying up.

And when businesses leave the inner city, it's because of corporate greed and racism.......

They should tax the povertons more. It would give them an incentive to better themselves.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Woke billionaires should be taxed 100% and then given the death penalty, but not before having their daughters bred by nazi BWCs

Protecting billionaires is not about protecting billionaires, it is about protecting you, you can't take care of yourself, you can't start a business, you are not independent, you are dependent, not you specifically but generally.

Most Americans earn income through the ambition of another and that's fine, these type of Americans don't want to take risks, they want guarantees and so they get a steady ordinary income.

A minority of Americans earn income through their own independent power, they don't mind risk, they don't even mind death, they have no fear and so they get extraordinary income.



When you attack billionaires, you attack yourself, they are the ones giving you jobs and an opportunity to better yourself.

When you tax them, they are less wiling to expand, that means that they are less willing to hire and offer better wages.

If you allow them to do what they do then they will generate capital and spread t out according to possible return.

Reading comprehension not even once.

I support billionaires asking to be taxed more. For some reason guys making 100K a year are outraged that billionaires might get what the voted for??

PS...Biden has been in govt for 50 years, hes not taxing his donors/the donors that control the DNC.

It's not the billionaires they're worried about. It's the consumers (everyone else) they're worried about since they'll be the ones the costs are passed onto. A tale as old as time.

Even if they don't do this, they'll just incorporate somewhere else like Ireland or the Cayman Islands to avoid the tax like corporations do from every other country lol. We live in a globalised world so there's nothing to stop it. This is why, when a politician talks about taxing billionaires and corporations more, it's just hot air because they know it too.

But the point is they won't, because they'll jack up the prices, ie passing it onto the consumer. Also, there's nothing to stop them incorporating somewhere else to swerve tax increases. Tax increases don't make a difference to these people.

Blindly repeating Biden's lies and false talking points... is just sad. Lets try this:PROVEyour/his claims.

It does, that's why they lobby so hard to not pay taxes. They need to pay their fair share.

This logic is flawed, they're going to raise prices if we make them pay taxes. But they'll raise prices even if they don't... we can't make them pay taxes because they'll raise prices....

This is the argument. It's ridiculous. They can make record profitswhilepaying their fair share.
