You worship a 1% earner multimillionaire who owns three luxury homes & flies in private jets with security detail to “fight the oligarchy”. This is your champion of the poor & downtrodden? You believe he is going to just give you handouts of free shit courtesy of the rich? Keep dreaming, retard.

Many plans have been offered but always get shut down because our politicians refuse to agree no doubt because they are the pockets of the wealthy.
First thing that has to happen is overturning Citizens United which allows anyone to run political campaigns giving the people who have that kind of astronomical wealth more of a voice than the average citizen.
Closing corporate tax loopholes, reducing corporate subsidies, closing tax loopholes for individuals, minimum tax rates for individuals, increased tax rates for the top 1%, cap on individual wealth at a number we can all agree on. I dunno... when does someone have enough money for everything they and their family needs to survive?
Those are my opinions. Many solutions have been offered to help spread the wealth. What we do depends on what we can all agree on.
Sounds like you are just regurgitating things you heard on MSNBC.
Which corporate tax loopholes allow millionaires to become billionaires?
Which corporate subsidies allow millionaires to become billionaires?
Which personal loopholes allow millionaires to become billionaires?
What do you propose for the tax brackets to be to stop millionaires from becoming billionaires?
Here are the federal tax brackets currently:
10% $0 to $11,925
12% $11,926 to $48,475
22% $48,476 to $103,350
24% $103,351 to $197,300
32% $197,301 to $250,525
35% $250,526 to $626,350
37% Over $626,350
What do you propose they should be that would prevent millionaires from becoming billionaires but keeping with your "no one is saying people shouldn't earn money."
Cap on individual wealth? I don't even know what this means, given you also claimed "No one is saying people shouldn't earn money". Does this mean that if someone sells a company that they've spent their entire life building and it's worth 2 billion.. they get to keep whatever money gives them a total wealth of 999,999,999.99 but not a penny over? If someone had 900 million dollars, what would be their incentive to expand their business to hire more workers if they get nothing from it?
Have enough money they and their family needs to survive? What? You can survive on 50K a year... should we make that the cap?
Where does all this "extra" money go? Are we just confiscating anything over 999 million?
It's not just that we allow a handful of people to hoard so much resources. It's that we allow them to use their wealth to influence policies that benefit them above everyone else. It's because everyone pitches into what we call America, the wealthiest nation on Earth, so everyone should have basic social safety such as food, housing, healthcare, and education. Right now the system allows the wealthiest to pay little to zero taxes while everyone else does, pays shit wages and has unaffordable prices on everything we need to survive so that a few people can have more money than they could possibly spend in their lifetimes or fly rocket ships into space.
It's amazing to me that you would be in favor a system that cheats you of a better standard of living so that a few people can have more money than everyone else combined.
