Ya it’s called common sense. See our government expenses are paid with taxes so if billionaires pay less taxes the rest of us pay more so we have less money for a roof, eggs and milk.
If we tax billionaires for their fair share then we pay less taxes and have more money.
Taxes are literally the last thing thats the problem there. We’re at historic lows. Lowering them for the low/middle class isnt going to get them food/housing.
You crow about common sense and then completely misfire.
Dont get me wrong I’m all for taxing billionaires hard. But thats not going to put more money in your pocket for the items above.
You’ll need to do a lot more than tax billionaires harder to fix those issues.
And im here for those changes in addition to taking billionaires more.
The benefits don’t end there. If you really need me to keep explaining economics to you then just go take a course. If we taxed billionaires their fair share we could afford public services like child care or health care. Income inequality is the root of many of our problems in America. Including politics because now the wealthy have enough to literally buy votes as we saw with Elon Musk.
I dont need the economics courses but you might. The three basic things i listed are the three things people put before any other priorities. Please revisit your economy studies if you didnt recognize this. Your points about taxing billionaires dont matter until those three things are met for the voting population. And atm people are struggling with food (inflation), roofs (inflation, housing crisis), and fucking safety (muslims friends and family are literally being murdered by us).
So kindly before you think about lecturing people on economic policy of taxing billionaires make sure you understand wtf people are dealing with.
Because news flash: im all about taxing them and probably understand the 2nd/3rd order impacts of doing so better than you. But i also understand that such a policy wouldnt have shifted voters struggling with the first three issues.
I’ve aced all my macro and micro economics classes. If you think you know more than an accredited college the go teach yourself the basics because you’ve already proven you don’t know what you’re talking about.
😂 child i have two degrees, one masters (cs), and two bachelor’s (cs, biology specifically a medical degree for my humanitarian work). My college required economics courses. Ive forgotten more math than you’ve probably been introduced to.
congrats acing your economics courses. I remember acing them too while sleeping through them. Clearly they didnt teach you how to think unfortunately but not unsurprising.
Demonstrated by the fact I literally told you i agree with you on taxing billionaires, just that it wasn’t relevant to voters who are struggling. They dont care if billionaires are taxed or not when they can’t put food on the table, a roof over their head, or are unsafe. If you want to win an election telling people we’ll tax billionaires when they want food security and their friends and family to stop being murdered is asinine.
So please either revisit your economics courses or at the very least learn how to comprehend what you’re reading.
This is Econ 101. It doesn’t matter how many degrees you have if you don’t understand entry level concepts.
You keep speaking on behalf of all voters like you think you are psychically connected. lol. Inflation (which was caused by the pandemic and price gouging) and immigration are what motivated the people that voted according to the polls. Your feelings don’t matter here. Voters understanding of the causes for those problems are primarily based on the ads that republicans ran.
yes, and did harris run any ads remotely similar? no. she ran ads about ‘danger! danger! trump’ ‘the economy is banger!’ vs ‘the economy sucks and I’ll fix it’ trump ads. so stop thinking people dont understand economics because your reading comprehension and reasoning abilities suck.
seriously. try telling people the ‘economy is doing great! and im going to tax billionaires to fix your problems’ while they’re stuggling to get food/shelter/safety and see what they tell you. it’ll likely be ‘fuck off dumbass’ just like the voters did to harris. They. dont. care. about. taxing. billionaires. if. they. can’t. afford. food. econ 101.
You inserted yourself into a conversation I was having with someone else about how vocal Harris was about taxing billionaires to make a comment proving you don’t understand how taxes affect disposable income. Proving you don’t understand entry level economics.
She couldn’t run ads remotely similar because the brunt of the inflation was experienced under Biden’s term and the majority of Americans didn’t understand the causes so they just believe the ads.
Democrats lost because leftists didn’t vote, the economy had to recover from the pandemic under Biden, the repbublican propaganda was as strong as ever and the billionaires pulled strings to make sure they were not taxed according to the plan Harris campaigned on.

If we tax billionaires for their fair share then we pay less taxes and have more money.
I guess common sense isn’t so common.
😂 oh boy. Child i said eggs, milk, and roofs.
