Elmo give 2.5% of his wealth?
Fuck that shit.
At best people like him should get to KEEP 2.5 % of their wealth. More reasonable, likely, will be TJ jail them as few billionaires can claim to gave gotten there without stepping on the back of someone. Elmo personally should be jailed for life.
Also, we don't need religions for tax. Just tax the rich fucking bastards
Elmo give 2.5% of his wealth?
You seem to be misreading.
Give 2.5% of their wealth, each year, not just give 2.5% of their income. There's a huge difference.
Wealth gets taxed every year, unlike income which gets taxed only once. So in 20 years, the wealth tax is roughly 20*2.5% which is 50%. And in 30 years it's closer to 75%.
That is exactly what I'm saying.
2.5% of his wealth is nothing, he quite easily gains or loses ten times that in a year
Set a maximum amount of wealth per person each year. Anything you earn over that automatically goes into a 100% bracket.
There literally is no reason why one person should be allowed to have a billion dollars in wealth, whilst another person is homeless and needs to waddle into crime to be able to feed themselves
10 million total wealth. That sounds like a reasonably sane maximum anyone should ever have the power over. Anything above that, taxes.
I think Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation pledge means keeping only 7% of annual income and it's still too much.
Anything over 10 million should be automatically 100% tax
That's a tax.
But are you sure really rich people should have to pay it? /s
One of the recipients of Zakat funds are islamic terrorists. Not a horrible idea in principle though, but I think it's much more interesting that Swiss cantons have wealth taxes, because, you know, because Switzerland is a pretty decently working economy. In stark contrast to almost every muslim nation out there.
Is terrorist what you call all brown people?
Those who do not possess enough wealth to meet their basic needs.
Individuals face financial hardship but have some resources that are insufficient to cover their necessities.
Individuals employed to collect, manage, and distribute Zakat.
Individuals who are inclined towards Islam or those whose hearts need to be softened towards the Muslim community.
To help free individuals from slavery or captivity.
Those in debt who cannot settle their debts with their current resources.
Individuals engaged in activities that benefit the broader Muslim community, such as scholars, educators, and those defending the Muslim community.
Travelers or strangers who are in need while away from their homes.
Seems bribery.
Bribery for what
i'm between downvoting because it mentions "terrorists" (which are often just people trying to do right) and upvoting because it's interesting information that switzerland has a wealth tax. i didn't know that.
What's wrong with the word "terrorist" in this context?
