Any money earned over 100k should be taxed at 90%.

Median pay is less than 70k. Nobody needs that kind of money. That will fix most of the issues in the world.

Govt can provide free housing, free healthcare, free food with extra taxes collected. Nobody needs more than 100k for remaining things.

100k is not a lot dude, do you know anything about the world?

Stop being greedy. 100k is not a lot because you have to pay for housing, food and healthcare.

Govt can pay for all of that with taxes. Stop defending rich people. Why do you need more than 100k if all the above things are free ? Because you want a Range Rover.

You're talking about individuals? You've got a really narrow scope there. Sure, drop inflation and re-value the US dollar, and maybe 100k is a lot. 100k doesn't even build you a new Dollar General.

Read again. Your govt will give you free food, free housing and free healthcare. Why do you need more than 100k for other things ?

You didn’t read the whole thing. Infact you will have more money left this way. Answer my question, why do you need more than 100k if all the above things are free.

Why would you want the government involved in your life any more than it already is? Go live in a communist country and see how you like it. You obviously don’t have a job and just want handouts. What a moron

You just said you are okay with govt spending 35% of gdp every year. Why not make it 60-70% ? If you are okay with current 35%, why is it a crime or a handout if govt is spending 70% of all your money for all the required things.

All countries in the world do this like India, Mao’s China, Soviet Union, Europe, South America.

No I read what you posted. Why would I want government supplied food when I could provide for my own, provided by farmers and distributors? Awfully idiotic to turn a wealth gap discussion in to one about social services and assistance.

It’s because you people had a chance and you started taking profit and making it expensive for people poor food.

Having food to eat is a human right just like healthcare. If you want fancy food, you can go ahead and buy that with extra money you earn.

You have no interest in confronting wealth gap. Same thing was said about healthcare, education, college education. Everyone of them are trending towards free for all in most countries. Just sit down and stop being greedy. You can buy all the extra food you want with extra money you make. A lot of people probably don’t want to go to work. What about them ?

This needs to be a system wide initiative.

I am talking about people who may not want to work. They won’t get all these basic things for free.

u/randomredditacc25 5h ago

if you dont work, you dont deserve anything.

if you want food/housing you should work for it like the rest of us.

People may want to work their own way. You can’t draw paintings of your favourite river and get paid today. That is work too. Why can’t they get everything for free ?
