Hot take: All healthcare (physical and mental) should be free

comments (single view)

Yeah, true, I def agree the gov should fund it more

which equates to more taxes from the ultra-rich

How, exactly, do you tax the ultra-rich? I’ve never seen anyone actually have a plan to do this. I’m not against it, but they already pay over 50% in income taxes.

no they don’t. warren buffet pays a true tax rate of 0.1% (1/10 of a percent). they hide their money in shares/stocks, which are largely untaxed.

Another thing to note is that a lot of the ultrarich evade taxes. Including business too. Just look at things like the panama or paradise papers for example.

+1 (the ultra rich and corporations should pay their fair share to the country and workers which provide things like the mail service, police protection, roads, etc. which they all rely/depend on.) not taxing stocks is a loophole that should be closed.
