User ID: 79553153 United Kingdom 11/21/2020 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've got no qualms about taxing the ultra-wealthy in the UK, especially where they have generational wealth built on direct theft from the masses. In the UK, all land used to be shared evenly between everyone, so you could build your hut, grow you food and not have to pay taxes, rent or mortgage etc. Then, between the 1400s and 1800s, friends of the aristocracy were given titles and land to go with that. The land they received was literally taken from under the feet of the people, and all of a sudden they had to pay rent and taxes to the new robber barons. The descendants of these families still live on that land and bask in its wealth this very day. If they get taxed out of the arsehole, I have no problem with that. I would go one step further and give common land back to the people so we can all have our own little piece of property to call our own. I don't agree with over-taxing people who have built their fortune on the back of honest hard work - that just leads to a brain drain and lack of entrepreneurial spirit. |

User ID: 75756457 Canada 11/21/2020 08:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When the demand by the top becomes greater than the bottom can supply the hierarchy collapses. There is a maximum potential for the productive members of the hierarchy or the net producers to sustain the consumptive members of the hierarchy or the net consumers. 80% of the employed members of most hierarchies of the world are net consumers of resources while 20% are net producers of resources. Meaning 2 out of 10 are taxed to sustain the other 8 out of 10. A large proportion of you all are net consumers of resources. "The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of the causes (the “vital few”). Other names for this principle are the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity" "The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian civil engineer, economist, and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto, is a power-law probability distribution that is used in description of social, quality control, scientific, geophysical, actuarial, and many other types of observable phenomena. Originally applied to describing the distribution of wealth in a society, fitting the trend that a large portion of wealth is held by a small fraction of the population. The Pareto principle or "80-20 rule" stating that 80% of outcomes are due to 20% of causes was named in honour of Pareto, but the concepts are distinct." Current break down in Argentina. agriculture: 10.8% industry: 28.1% services: 61.1% 10.8 + 28.1 = 38.9% = net producers 61.1% = net consumers 61.1% of the population are sustained by a tax upon the other 38.9% "The country has its roots in Spanish colonization of the region during the 16th century. Argentina rose as the successor state of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, a Spanish overseas viceroyalty founded in 1776. The declaration and fight for independence (1810–1818) was followed by an extended civil war that lasted until 1861, culminating in the country's reorganization as a federation of provinces with Buenos Aires as its capital city. The country thereafter enjoyed relative peace and stability, with several waves of European immigration, mainly Italians and Spaniards, radically reshaping its cultural and demographic outlook; 62.5% of the population has full or partial Italian ancestry, and the Argentine culture has significant connections to the Italian culture." Italy break down. agriculture: 2.1% industry: 24% services: 73.9% 2.1 + 24 = 26.1% = net producers 73.9% = net consumers Spain break down agriculture: 2.6% industry: 23.2% services: 74.2% 25.8% = net producers 74.2% = net consumers USA break down agriculture: 0.9% industry: 19.1% services: 80% 20% = net producers 80% = net consumers United Kingdom agriculture: 0.8% industry: 20.2% services: 79% 21% = net producers 79% = net consumers MlCHAEL |

The tax would increase progressively as equity increases, under the proposal. "The level of concentration of wealth, in a few hands, is so strong that this contribution falls on less than 0.02 percent of the population," said government deputy Fernanda Vallejos during debate. "About half of what is collected will be contributed by only 252 people, those who are at the top of the pyramid." TWO PERCENT?! How do they expect these people to survive?! According to AFP, between 9,000 and 12,000 people fall into that bracket in Argentina, a country with 40.9% of its 44 million inhabitants currently living in poverty. Unemployment stands at just over 10%, with the economy still yet to overcome a recession that began in 2018. Things have only worsened after the coronavirus pandemic, and the IMF estimates GDP will contract by 11% this year. *Glitches May Occur. Consume(D) At Own Risk |
