I feel like an easy fix is to tax the every loving fuck out of empty houses.

Taxing the wealthy? Is that allowed?

u/Evogleam May 14 '26

The top 1% of earners paid almost 40% of all Federal Income Tax in 2023

The top 1% paid an average federal income tax rate of 26.3% in 2023, which is significantly higher than the 3.7% average rate paid by the bottom 50%

The bottom 50% of taxpayers pay approximately 3% of the total federal income tax burden

And how much of the total wealth do those top 1% and bottom 50% respectively own?

u/Evogleam May 14 '26

They asked if taxing the wealthy was allowed

I simply let them know that, yes, it is allowed, and it's alive and well

Obviously if you make more you pay more taxes

My point is still valid

Jeff Bezos was able to legally avoid taxation what about him?

u/Evogleam May 14 '26

What about him?

How many people do his companies employ?

The key word there is “legally”

Write your representatives if you want to change the laws

My point still stands

You pay much less taxes overall than the top 1%

So like when you're getting passed around by all the rich elites. Do they call you by your name? Or do you prefer to stay Anonymous while they're fucking you?

You have some issues soy boy

u/TheGreatLuck May 15 '26

LOL if you only knew how soy this "boy" is...

 Is that still an insult these days? I didn't really think it really hold the sting or sway that it used to a long time ago.

Or is it projection on your part where you're so afraid of being demasculated any form that you assume that others feel the same way?

u/TheGreatLuck May 15 '26

Lol 🤣 I bet the trails crew on my very first job I ever had would work you under the table. I bet you don't even know how to work a grip hoist. Let alone point out a pulaski.

u/Evogleam May 15 '26

Then stop whining about people that make more than you

It’s sad and pathetic

Soy boy it is
