Socialism and communism seem good on paper, but in reality there are many problems associated with it. You HAVE to take from some source, and it just feels like you're incentivizing people to work less. The rich can get taxed, sure, but everybody wants to be rich, right? Greed will reign supreme in all cases, and for those who actually achieve that upper-class level, they'll be PUNISHED for the hard work.
The rich never gets taxed and it never will. They have enough offshore schemes and hidden undeground bunkers to hide their wealth tax-free.
What gets taxed is the suckers, the low hanging fruits, the middle class and the poor class.
Socialism is nothing more than forced redistribution of wealth between poor people and other poor people.
Is it a coincidence that poor people earn less every single year? And all taxes impact the poor? Sure it isnt.
I`m not defending the rich here, but you have to admit they are smart enough to not fall for the socialist crap.
