Powerful or hypocritical? AOC's 'Tax the Rich' dress at Met Gala draws mixed reactions

I'm curious how you would change the tax laws to make the ultra rich pay more taxes. Specifics will do nicely.

 

"a Wall Street Journal analysis observed the changing patterns of presidential voting in the 100 richest U.S. counties. The Democratic share rises over time. Walter Mondale carried just 7 of them in his 1984 landslide loss. In his 1992 victory, Bill Clinton carried just 36 of the 100. Joe Biden carried 57 of them in 2020."

Which backs up my oft-repeated refrain that today's Progressives are yesterday's Conservatives. And if anyone thinks they've actually changed anything other than their vote, they're in fantasy land. This WHY Progressives are such a disaster. They're the elites (elite in means OR mind - and if in mind only it's actually worse, because they can't afford to fund their own expectations), playing at caring out of sheer boredom. None of it is real to them. These are the kinds of people who will always fawn over whatever their fellows declare fashionable.

 

No idea. Way out of my pay grade.

 

Evidently it's out of every Democrat's pay grade. That's why they only say, "tax the rich" or "pay your fair share" but never actually have a plan to fix the problem.
So, let me help you guys out.
1) Treat Cap gains as income over $250k when that is your majority source of income.
2) Treat non-income items as income when you use the company's stuff as your own (like Elon does). For example, if you live in the company's house, then your income is what a normal person would pay in rent for that home. If you use a company car for personal use, then your income would be what a normal person would pay to lease that car. Same goes for flights, boats, etc.
4) Eliminate write offs for meals, meetings, etc. after a certain level.
3) The best way would be to just have a flat tax on everyone and skip all the stupid games.
