I really don't care how much tax billionaires pay. Make it 99% for all I care. It doesn't directly affect me. But there are issues of fairness and balance. What is a fair proportion of the taxes that the top earners should pay? Right now the top 1% pays 42% of the income taxes. The top 25% pays 88%. Is that fair? Do we have a structural problem with our democracy caused by the tax responsibility? Not a simple problem. taxfoundation.org

Qone0, If these huge corporations are taxed a high rate, they have no incentive to grow *enough to destroy* capitalism. You added three extra words, which need to be removed in order to make this a true statement ... Here is the fixed statement: If these huge corporations are taxed a high rate, they have no incentive to grow capitalism. And it's not just Walmart and Amazon. It's also Intel, AMD, Google, Facebook, Apple, nVidia, and every high-tech juggernaut that gives America the undisputed lead in high-tech. Tenchusatsu
