The government should represent it's people and by that decree, protect them from exploitation. Every full time job should pay enough for rent, food, medical bills and a little bit of fun, ain't it?

@Dylan Manson "It is unfair that you are even alive." That is your answer to the economical problems of the people of our time - and your critics? God bless you. You do realize that people like Zuckerberg and Musk, even with just 10% of their wealth would still live in unfathomable luxury? They can have their place at the top. But just imagine how much change could happen, would that money flow back to the people and the workers that in the first place build up their bosses corporations. But you don't sound like someone that really cares about others, to be honest. I still wish you the best. And an awakening, sooner or later.

And this administration is refusing to show where the small business loans from PPP went, as small businesses are denied loans because as usual the fat cats swooped in and plundered all the money already.

Now tax breaks reached companies like GM that close down factories and fire thousands of workers. So, why give them millions in tax breaks on both, federal AND state taxes. So, not sure if you don't pay taxes, but the average American pays taxes, or he/she will be locked up.

Contrary, often they get payraise for firing people because they safe their company money, or if they are fired for doing a bad job they often get millions as compensation for being fired... Even though they did a utterly bad job. Let's start with big corporations and big wealth owners paying their part. Assuring that everyone pays their taxes (in case applicable) before sending higher amounts of money to any other country...

Words of emotion are not Words of wisdom

“My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress. It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice.” - Warren Buffet "Warren Buffett doesn’t think the rich in America are paying enough in taxes. “The wealthy are definitely undertaxed relative to the general population,” he told CNBC’s Becky Quick during an interview on “Squawk Box” on Monday."

isn't this whole discussion about owning less? lmao

These are the people we need who talks about real issues.

Remember this, when politicians tell us there is no money.

Every second of this is so savouring to me.

I love what Rutger Bregman and Winnie Byanyima said! Of course they are both 100% correct. We have all been brainwashed into accepting that measures like unemployment rate and GDP actually mean something, but those indicators don't matter at all to working class people. We need to be using measures like wage growth, savings rate, debt ratio, etc, as they indicated the health of the REAL economy. These indicators say a lot about how actual people are doing, but the wealthy power brokers don't really want us to know how bad things are for the average worker. We've also been duped into believing that billionaires are these godlike figures who got rich because they worked hard and are so intelligent and this is true in a few cases, but the truth concerning the vast majority of them is quite different. Most billionaires either inherited wealth or were so extremely lucky and privileged in life, that they had every opportunity laid out before them. They mostly use philanthropy as a means of keeping the pitchforks at bay while they rob the world blind. Anyone who is fortunate enough to "earn" over $10 million per year should be paying a much higher effective tax rate than someone earning a middle class wage, but that is not the case in the USA. Most workers pay a larger percentage of their income in taxes than any multimillionaire or billionaire. For decades, American voters have allowed the wealthy to buy our politicians and dictate tax policies that benefit them, at the expense of everyone and everything else. This must end. Only support uncorrupted progressive candidates!

I calculated that if you had a mere 1.5 million kicking back dividends at around 4-5% you'd get about $70,000 a year which means if you didn't live extravagantly you'd never have to work a job again. Congrats, that's winning. So they would be perfectly fine up to 10 million before worring about a high marginal tax rate above that.

He’s wrong. The effectiveness of taxation is directly correlated to the integrity of the government. If the government is corrupt there will be no improvement to society Secondly, his comparison to the 1950’s is completely disingenuous. In the 50’s the power of labour was much stronger , movement of capital was much harder and there were few trade deals. Now capital can move at least he blink of an eye and trade deals have destroyed the power of labour. Higher taxes won’t address any of these issues and will likely make it worse.

@@Jeff1999100 but it's not through their hard work, it is through their workers' hard work. People like Jeff Bezos pay their workers so little that they qualify for food stamps and govt aid while he keeps 97% of the profits and the 100,000 people working for him only get 3% of the profits combined. That's just wrong. You can't comprehend how much money he has, about $140 billion. If he were to go back to 1919 and burn $100,000 every single day for 100 years until today (36,500 days), he would still have about $136 billion. That's just disgusting. Nobody needs or deserves that kind of money and he certainly didn't do enough "hard work" to warrant him making more money than every single person in his entire organization combined. How can you possibly think that's right or fair? He could literally burn $1,000 every day for 2,000 years and that would only equal about $750 million, leaving him with $139.2 billion still after 2,000 years of burning $1,000 every day. You can't justify that. How come people who actually save people's lives like EMTs and doctors only make about $50,000/$200,000 yet a guy who runs a website deserves to make more than that in 1 single day? Let them keep $1 billion, that's enough for anyone to live the most extravagant life they could imagine and they could still make more money by investing and putting some in CDs so they'll never run out of money. Nobody deserves to have more wealth than 10% of the entire world and you're a blind fool if you think they do.

Goldman asks how you can solve inequality without talking about taxes. That's like asking how you can solve climate change without talking about CO2 or how you can cure an infection without talking about antibiotics... I understand this is a whole paradigm change for him and how he must realize that if this is true he must change his whole outlook on life, so that's why he resists it. But the idea you can talk about inequality without talking about taxes is prima facie ridiculous.
