I am tired of subsidizing large businesses that pay the shareholders then give employees no choice but public assistance to survive. They refuse to pay a living wage or provide a healthcare plan or 401k but payout billions every quarter to Wall Street, the shareholders are then taxed at 14%. A wage earner making less than $40,525 is taxed at 12%.
It's an outrage that someone who can afford to invest in dividend stocks, make millions or billions every quarter escapes taxation because of capital gains. They make their money on the backs of an impoverished workforce and get a tax break. Then dump the burden of public assistance and the national debt on the middle class and poor taxpayers.
We should make exceptions for small to medium sized businesses, but the worst of these large corporations should broken up with antitrust suits. Congress then needs to raise the capital gains tax back to where it was at 35% and the minimum wage to at least $20 an hour.
In a nation flooded with 400 million firearms, who thinks it's a good idea for the government and Wall Street to conspire and create 100 million serfs.
