@wildland let's assume companies like Disney, apple, facebook, nfl, mgm, paid their fair share of taxes your definition of fair share is probably 90 percent currently none but maybe one pay a penny in taxes. So now the US has 90 percent of 4 of the top ten grossing companies in the country where does that money go now
@Nume25
OK, well here's the thing. Many of the wealthiest companies like Disney, Apple, and Facebook pay little to no taxes thanks to loopholes and offshore accounts. It’s not about taxing them at 90%, it’s about making sure they actually pay what they owe. These companies thrive off public infrastructure (roads, internet, education, etc.), and it’s time they contribute fairly.
When they pay their fair share, we can improve healthcare, education, roads, and social services—things that benefit everyone. More revenue = more opportunities for EVERYONE, not just the top 1%. That's clear.
The real question I suppose isn’t should we tax the rich, it’s how do we fix a broken system that lets them avoid paying at all?
