One mom said she cried for 10 days after hearing she was being removed from her daughter’s birth certificate.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•1 year agoI believe taxes for the top 3 (if not 4) quintiles in the US should be higher. So yeah, regular people don’t pay enough in taxes
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-5•1 year agoOK. I’m in general against raising taxes, but if yes, then top 4, because market incentives (share of the tax income) work on governments too.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year agoThat doesn’t really make any sense as a response. My concern with the second quintile is damaging social mobility, which is key to a growing economy
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink-6•1 year ago That doesn’t really make any sense as a response. For you, but I explained why. The same reason as why something controlled by people from the upper quintiles may become “too big to fail”. The more you are taxing people, the more you want their income not to tank. I think this is obvious.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 year agoI am not leftist, and I know more about economics than you do, clearly.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•edit-21 year agoI didn’t say I didn’t understand you. I said what you said doesn’t make sense. It’s a nonsensical argument. Pigouvian, taxes for example, do not depend on you having any income whatsoever. Moreover the idea that “too big to fail” has anything to do with taxation is beyond absurd. If you want to be taken seriously, know what you’re talking about, and speak with specificity. I am a proud neoliberal, and focused on evidenced-based policy, not a leftist.

Again this makes no sense
