Yeah, someone on the other side gets it!!!
 Quoting: 1guynAz

A Dem advocating wealth redistribution is not news.

I'm all for helping small business, but not at American businesses' expense, no matter how big. Not while Sudan is getting hundreds of millions.

The resolution proposes an additional tax, at a rate of 95%, on excess profits as calculated by subtracting their 2020 gross earnings from the average gross earnings of these companies from 2016-2019.

The resolution notes that excess profits taxes were originally adopted by Congress during WWI and WWII to “siphon off war profits” from companies profiting as a result of the war, and provide assistance to those who were struggling and who needed help the most.

The simple, best solution to this problem is NOT redistributing wealth, it is a flat tax.


X amount of taxes are paid based on total income PERIOD, no bullshit write offs, no deductibles, no special treatment, just a flat no bullshit tax.

Re: ABOUT TIME! Tulsi Gabbard introduces bill to fund small businesses forced to close using profits from big corporations
That is a terrible idea. You can retroactively change a tax.

If there was advance notice maybe a 65% overage, or maybe for companies with profits in the tens of millions at a minimum but for the small business that did well in 2020, that is an absurd idea.

It's only fair.
 Quoting: coorslight

No:
I LIKED TULSI; BUT
there's nothing "FAIR" about taking from A SUCCESSFUL one and giving to another. The big companies did not cause the loss from small business.


IF a smart man designs a magical "hover bike" (a generic"widget") that uses no pedals or wheels(unicorn fart energy from "unobtanium")and they sell worldwide like crazy should he then be obligated to pay Schwinn for their loss of market?????? Fuck no.And thats' what this is.

Times are tough only big ,cash fat, well placed (online)companies are surviving due strictly to government. interference in the market.

Why should Amazon be forced to hand over "excess profit"for something the government has imposed??


And what the fuck in your soi boi purple haired starbucks world is "excess profit"????
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77376498


if you used your magic fart bike money to pay off politicians and shwen was forced to shut down then yes you should pay because forcing your competition to close under a fake pandemic while you pay to stay open is not free market capitalism - either you both close or you both are allowed to be open -
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14364611


My "fart bike (golden widget) analogy" just says:

The producers should not be penalized. the government shutdown small business in 2020.
Arguably the government is liable but govt. doesn't produce....it "redistributes"(steals).

Several people I've known who were required to go to Hawaii and live temporarily because of their occupations- told me that they were treated poorly- even hatefully and violently in some cases. I have not been there and it has never been on my bucket list.

Obama, the Bush family, the Clintons and many other politicians on both sides of the aisle just have a strange "vibe" - cold, weird- inhuman. Then there are humans who are mean, cowardly, greedy, dangerous in various ways, etc. Certainly human does not mean perfect- but I can "recognize them"/ relate to them and many of even their negative faults- that's the best I can describe it.

I'm a conservative, a rightwinger, but I can go for what left-leaning Gabbard wants to do. Even more so since a lot of people in the executive suites of corporate America are proverbial Limousine Liberals, if not flaming Champagne Socialists too.

As such, they're as greedy, dishonest, hypocritical and unethical as they come.

Isn't that correct, Jeff Bezos, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, etc, etc?

This is probably the best answer: but it'll never become reality.Why?

Because taxes are how Congres sticks its' screwdrivers deep into and tweaks the guts of the economy to the benefit of themselves and their "friends".

If the housing industry(carpenters unions/realtors) want more business; they pay a lobbyist to influence (pay) a congressman to introduce a homeowners tax cut or cut the lending interest rates.

A Flat rate tax does away with that entire industry of graft and influence peddling
