TAX THE RICH

it is called welfare state. And it works since 50 years.
Look at China/Russia: Hardcore Capitalism has never worked and will never. We need more social responsibility or the day of revenge will come.

taxing people who work hard for their money, and give it to those who are lazy bums and whiners will never accomplish anything. All that this will do is make everyone equal, equally poor.

The lazy rich but not the hardworking workers should be strongly taxed. workers have to pay a lot, while rich investors/entreprises do not have to. I know people who do not have to work, they only live from the profit of their investment. They should have to pay more taxes.
But this will never happen, because it would need international cooperation. But brainwashed Americans think hardcore capitalism is so good. they want to become "China II"

When you buy a product, not even one percent goes to the CEO's profit. Even if we do tax the rich, there are not enough rich people to pay for the poor people. What makes you think that anyone is entitled to anyone's elses profits.

Let us talk about capital gains and not the income of some managment guys. This is so ridicolous. Look at some data, study economics and do not repeat silly populist slogans...
Btw. look up the term "Lohnquote"!

No country has ever existed without some element of Socialism. There are some industries where profit logically does not belong. Health Care, Utilities, Banking, TBTF's, etc. along with our many that are socialized or nationalized already -and they haven't stopped the world. Unregulated (or underregulated) "Free Market" Capitalism, otoh, has very nearly brought it down completely, and may yet have done so irrevocably.
