Everyone should pay they're fair taxes

Elon Musk believes he is Tony Stark/Iron Man in his mind. In reality he is more like C.Mongomery Burns/Lex Luthor lol.

I really hate the guy right beside Jeff Bezos, honestly lol Do something incredibly worthwhile to humanity the globe over, with your fortunes and maybe we'll talk about the word " hero"
 
I guess the question always becomes: What is "fair"?
The actual dollar / currency amount, the percentage, or how compensation is taken as something of value other than a salary, etc.?

Edit:
Took out "then let them eat cake" and further comment.

I pledge to not cause any administrative heartburn in this thread.
 
Musk pays billions and billions and billions in taxes. How much more should he pay to make it "fair"? Answer: It will never be enough to those who believe that the very wealthy are evil. How about being grateful for these type of wealthy people who reinvest a lot of their fortunes into making available good paying jobs that promote more tax revenues to fund our nation's infrastructure. :victoire::victoire::victoire:
 
And when you're electrifying...you pay no taxes!:H5:

The "good paying jobs" is key. I agree.
Too often the welfare subsidies available to lower paid workers ends up being a type of corporate welfare.

If we went back to the Eisenhower (pre-Reagan) tax code, we'd have well paid workers again.

The irony of companies like Amazon and Wal-Mart making billions in profits and paying no or little taxes, is that all or most of their rank and file employees are on food stamps and other subsidies. Yet people are still dumb enough to shop there and propagate their existence, instead of going elsewhere to spend their money.

While we're at returning the tax code to pre-Reagan days and recreating a great society, cut a few hundred billion from the Pentagon's budget. They don't need that much money, especially since the U.S. hasn't been on the winning side of a war since WWII. That was only because the Soviet Union and Germany's dictator's ineptitude that beat Germany. If it wasn't for the atomic bomb, the pacific war would have gone on for another year or two by all historical outlooks. Every other war was a fiasco to line people's pockets, at the expense of other's lives.

Eisenhower himself, a 5 star General over all Allied Forces in the largest conflict in human history, warned the public before leaving office of the looming " Military-Industrial Complex". He saw the ugliness that was approaching over Americans, where the military would plead for new weapons and industries would eagerly supply them via political influence, future elections and lobbying, leaving the tax payers essentially helpless.

He also saw tax codes that created equality across the board like you mentioned. The wealthy kept their wealth, yet weren't able to reach insane levels of it, avoided monopolization and enforced strict tax penalties. Meanwhile, average workers stayed right in the middle without breaking their wallets or sneaking by on their taxes. The poor received aide that made their existence liveable while also being subjected to work-for-welfare type programs and job training. It was a great system really and highly progressive

I have not shopped at Walfart for over 20 years because I refuse to support their business model.
