[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s sad that so many people who likely think of themselves as progressives are so out and out opposed to building an equitable society where people are much closer together in terms of their standards of living.

All of you hate the right wing, but you practically agree with them when it comes to “your” money. We’re never going to fix this country. [/quote]

I'm willing to pay more, if it makes sense.  But I am absolutely unwilling to pay more if the rich and corporations aren't going to pay more.

I like the G7 proposal to agree to set corporate taxes at 15% internationally to break down the gamesmanship of international tax avoidance schemes.
I think we need to add more brackets and tighten up/eliminate loopholes for the rich.  I also think we could use more corporate oversight.  I frankly do not believe that the corporate CEO of today is worth $10 million plus when his predecessor a few decades back was handsomely paid a fraction of that for doing the same job, honestly I think it's not just ripping the employees off, it's ripping of shareholders as well.  There are many other examples where greed and excess seems to be spiraling out of control, and it needs to be reined in.  [/quote]
