For 10 years they have done, funded, and created new ways to continue to avoid paying taxes. It is not just apple. We spend so much time trying to deal with these tricks when raosing the rate would force them to finally pay their share.
The question is less about how much and more about how do we decide what are fair tax breaks. Most wealthy people are not sitting around with massive vaults of money. Its invested and protected by tax laws that favor them. How do you get them to pay a fair value?
What makes you think those with power, wealth, and influence would EVER allow that to happen? They control who gets elected, not us peasants here debating tax policy on a basketball forum.
It is not just apple. It is not only their foreign income that they are shoveling into other countries that support tax havens. I get that some of you guys will always support the super elite and thats fine.. Yang gang b****es. Im out.
Everybody follow andrew yang and vote for him. These republicans will never listen and probably kill aoc because what she is saying has historically gotten famous politicians killed. Amdrew yang advocates tricke up economy because trickle down is bullshit.
You're out. You just explained in 2 words why it will never change. Those with the wealth, power, and influence to actually change things have no incentive to and will ALWAYS outlast you, me and the great unwashed of this world. That's the way its always been. That's the way it always will be.
Tax the rich and the rich leave. If you do it at the federal level they will leave the country. As Cuomo says the rich are also the most mobile. The full video
If they leave then there spot will be filled by the next guy. I don’t have a problem with that. Pay your taxes or leave.
No ****, in my first post I said we have no chance with AOC and her policies ever making it. Throughout history they have assassinated every single politician who has suggested taxing the rich. We had it for a very brief moment in our history and it was very successful. But I’m smart enough to know better. With Andrew Yang trickle up economy can work and it’s the second best thing. As long as the rich keep their billions, they dont go out putting markers on people.
Oh good....another twist. What famous USA politicians have been killed because of views similar to AOC since 1900?
Dude, this is America. Everyone loves money. If Apple ever left town you would see 100 cell phone stores pop up in every major city overnight.
The irony of calling Trump greedy while recommending the government send everyone in the country a check for $1,000 a month for doing nothing?! There seems to be a people that like to create a population dependent on the government as they undoubtedly always vote for them.
Huey Long aka "King Fish" In time, he developed his own solution: the "Share Our Wealth" program, which would establish a net asset tax, the earnings of which would be redistributed so as to curb the poverty and homelessness epidemic nationwide during the Great Depression.[1] He wanted to do something exactly like what AOC wants, similar to Yang, but tax the rich to get the money into the hands of every american home. He was assassinated.
If they are not greedy then pay your taxes. Stop funding new ways to avoid them. It would make America much better in the long run. Yang is the answer to all this bullshit because they will pay it.
According to history, he was not killed due to his political views about sharing the wealth. But for argument's sake, let's say he was. Now who are all the other 'share the wealth' politicians that have been assassinated for their 'share the wealth' views?
