@kbin.socialSooo; if the government could collect 10 % flat tax from everyone and was able to subsidize housing, education, medicine and healthcare for everyone that needs it... Then I think 🤔 it might work, it'd get rid of tax loopholes and also allow everyone to do their own taxes simply.. 10% ... Just move a dot one over a number... Everyone could understand that.
As for the rich and wealthy classes their reward is still income. They just have to pay their "fair" share. And to me the same percentage across the board is equal/fair.
Maybe 🤔 You can explain it to me better, where I am missing the point ☝️ or where I am wrong on this idea / notion 😔? I am probably missing something.
Not if the tax dollar goes to help the folks of the country.
Yes it's redistribution of wealth but we have redistribution of wealth right now and the money mostly goes back to the wealthy.
Sooo about 19 top fortune 100 companies in US paid virtually no tax in the last few years. If You can tax ALL companies, people and religions who are making money, You'd have quite a lot of money in the pot.
The money needs to go to military, I get it; but after that if You prioritize the homeless and the mentally ill, you'd see progress IMHO.
10% is just an example, maybe it should be more. But when (some) fortune 100 n 500 companies are getting away with paying no tax... I think 10% might work; as long as EVERYONE ( who's making money) pays. As long as the government takes care of , prioritizes the poor and middle class; things should be alright.
It reminds me of Iraq right before 9/11 happened.. ye they had a piece of shit dictator Sadam; absolutely. But they wasn't being bombed to smithereens. And in the mess of war in Iraq the ISIS were able to fuck shit up n grow , even growing into syria, Afghanistan n maybe other countries...
Same way stuff happens in the USA... inequality n disparity keeps growing... The ruling / wealthy 🤑 class keeps consolidating wealth n we all just go on with our lives... Don't we?
LMAO 🤣 US occupation wasn't about rebuilding them; if that's what You believe
Anyways, judging them or any other war torn nation is equivalent of judging homeless people and people who are mentally ill ; " it's their fault, was their choice"
It's pathetic to say the least
Today's US isn't the same US that existed during WWll btw... The country has changed drastically

What is an ellipses ?
If You mean the triple dot... It's just as a pause... Maybe about the same as punctuation/dot/period... Idk... Makes it easier to express myself I suppose..
Some ppl think 🤔 it's sarcasm ... But it's not how I use it; or what I use it for...
I guess this is my writing/ typing style... Maybe 😏🤔 a bad habbit I formed talking over social media over all these years... IDK TBH
