Tax the rich and give it to the poor

(posted originally on Bubblews)

But when do we stop taxing the rich? when is it just considered steal? when is it just too much?

who are we to determine what the rich need or what is fair? How did the rich became rich? why taking from someone who worked hard to get there? or are we assuming all rich are thief's?

Now compare yourself to third world countries and/or to people poorer than you (people with no home, no internet access)... You are the rich one? should we tax you, take from you (who have so much in comparison) to give to all those poor? and how much do we take from you? how much is it fair?

When deciding what is fair just try to walk in someone else's shoes... but walk in both, in the richer than you and in the poorer and then decide what you want to the world, and then "be the chance you want to see"... YOU are rich! if you think the rich should give, than start giving yourself, don't force other to do it. Others you know nothing about!

We are the 99%? Are we?

I hear, too many times, people complaining about their lives in strikes and demonstrations, screaming to the top of their lungs: "We are the 99%!". Because the 1% richer own about 35% of the richness. Implying that they have to give it to us, the 99%... Doesn't matter how they got it, we must get what they have because we are the 99% and we are poor?

Are we?

Are you, sitting in your chair, in your home, reading this in your computer with internet connection, poor?

What people don't say, or ignore, or don't want to know is that if you earn more than 10 dollars a day you are in the top 20% of the wealthiest people in the world! if you have 5 dollars a day you are in the top 60%! About half of the world don't have 2,5 dollars a day to live, but you are worried about those 1%.

Shouldn't you be worrying about the 80% above you? shouldn't you be worrying about the 60% above you? and the 50% above you? Why do you want those 1% to give you when, by your own logic, you should be giving to the 80% poorer than you?

Are you really the 99%?! don't you thing claiming that is offensive to the 60 to 80% people poorer than you?

Steal the rich and give to the poor

Months ago the Labour Party (United Kingdom) proposed a "Mansion Tax". Labour leader Ed Miliband said that owners of properties worth more than £2m would face an annual charge. A big charge.

Nowadays most of London homes worth more than £2m and a lot of £2m mansions are family houses, belonging to the same family for years and years, that were bought in a time when they worth much less, and now you have people with "normal" incomes that may be paying a luxury tax just because their house happens to be worth a lot.

So, if labour wins the next election, you will be forcing people to sell their homes because they won't afford to pay the tax of the home they bought years ago...

In my opinion income taxes and property taxes are a way for "us" to steal from those who worked harder, were luckier, are successful. You steal them and called it "social justice" and "equality".

People should not be punished for their success.
