Redistribute wealth via TAX REFORM. Pay some Amazon.com

@Mooolah Is now really the time to be thinking about raising taxes? And just how far will THAT get us? We need to focus on economic growth. Rebuilding small businesses. Helping new ones thrive. Prevent more from shutting down. Democrats do not always solve the economic problems. You can hear really bad news from Dem areas. They are attempting to recall Gov Newsom because the state is beginning to crumble under his governship. I hear someone high up in his administration was criminally convicted not long ago, fraud? I don't know the details.

@Flowerwall Not raising taxes. Redistribution so folks can eat & Amazon will pay some. Economic growth will come when Biden crushes the virus with federal mandated prevention. I am not for raising taxes. I am for monopolies not paying one cent towards out nations benefit. I am being misunderstood. We the people got the royal butt phuque.

@Mooolah So Amazon is going to financially support the poor? I don't know, doesn't sound reasonable. There does have to be a way to capture more in tax dollars off the very rich, but it's a fine line. You don't want the super rich going broke either. Higher taxes can be very bad for everyone in the economy. And I think the broader goal of growth is more important. We have to hope this country doesn't become like Newsom's CA either, where taxation and cost is skyhigh. That is the party the electorate voted in, yikes!

@Flowerwall Again. Not higher taxes. Can you hear me. Tax Amazon which was an example. AMAZON-like companies not paying anything. $10,000.00 cap on property taxes., How is that not raising your taxes as we no longer deduct anything above that. It needs complete over haul. I repeat Not raising taxes. Tax the monopolies & such who pay NOTHING. Have you been imbibing? (I am joking)

@Mooolah What is the exact taxation for AMazon you are suggesting? A corporate tax? What is the name?

@Flowerwall The exact tax on massive companies such as Amazon should not be zero which they are able to attain under the current law.. I am not anti Amazon. But I am opposed to no tax at all That is the Trump tax reform that stuck it to the lower & middle taxes. The stimulus went to corporations as small businesses received little. It is inverted from what it should be. There is corporate tax. But massive companies find the legal loopholes & use it to their advantage as anyone can. The tax rules in the last 4 years have hurt the average American. Not to mention all of the other epidemics we are currently mired in. Wisconsin property taxes are enormous. $10,000.00 cap on the deduction. That hurts those the middle working class in Wisconsin. It is a rax hit or raise if you can't deduct more. One has to pay taxes on anything above that ceiling. That is paying more taxes which is essentially a raise in taxes. The average American is paying more while corporations are paying nothing.

@Mooolah I agree get the ultra wealthy to pay more. But it has to be done in the right way. I don't know what that is exactly. I also don't know that this is the right time. There has to be some way. All of these scholars, economists, policy experts, there has to be a way to generate more tax revenue from the rich, but not in the form of wealth tax. There has to be someway to figure out better economics. I think small biz is overall being crushed. Even medium and larger size bizs. It's such a mess. I have seen videos even overseas, it's just bad.

Also, what is this idea "federal mandated prevention?"

@Flowerwall I confess I do not know of Federal Mandated Prevention. I do know that the tax code has loopholes designed for a particular entity. You & I can use it, if we can find it as it is in the tax code. So anyone can use the deduction if they meet the criteria. The tax code was 7 feet high. A 7 foot high book of tax law. It is not written that a corporation pay this amount. It is written so that the authors reward their buddies with favorable law. Trump, in his own words said, "I have made you all a lot of money". He was talking to the corporations who can now pay nothing with all of the exemptions. Churches pay nothing. Scientologists pay nothing. The working middle class pay more by losing deductions. I will be looking for the "Fed Man Prev" of which you speak. I am always willing to learn.
