Forget giving out checks to the middle class. We don’t need more inflation again.
Better off using that tax money to actually pay down the debt or revamp the healthcare system.

900 people that have been dodging taxes for decades. 900 people that even if they were taxed $100 million dollars it would be a tiny drop in the bucket for them. But $3000 for someone that only makes $20,000 a year could be life changing.

You mean 900 economic black holes warping our markets?

I don’t want a check. I want those assholes taxed and the corporations that feast at our expense to pay as well

by all means, soak them ASAP.

I don’t want a stimulus check that will cause inflation… I want these dum-dums to invest in community projects and national energy infrastructure for posterity.

It would “soak” them would it? If a 5% tax is soaking them, how are all the taxes the lower and middle classes pay cumulatively not positively drowning?

Ok, great, imagine I get this check. I can still go bankrupt from a medical crisis. Universal healthcare coverage first, please. And federal initiatives to incentivize building affordable housing. We only seem to talk about the price of eggs, but housing and healthcare is what actually crushes people.

Well, I’m sold. Also, “soak”? You could take the majority of their wealth and it would have no discernible effect on their day to day lifestyle.

Maybe a certain pay threshold could get checks because it could be life changing for them. But I don’t want a check I want it to fund infrastructure pay down debt or anything useful long term.

They’ll still be able to afford jets and mansions. They’ll be fine. They are not victims. Stop asking me to care.

How about a pedophile tax where if you diddle kids then you lose everything and your family also loses everything?

“soak”
Way to load your opinion in there.

As much as $3,000 would be nice to have, I’d much rather have them annually taxed and the funds distributed towards social programs and healthcare.
Hitting them once when they have the capital and systems in place to rebuild their wealth won’t hurt them as much as the inflation from a $3,000 stimulus would hurt the middle classes and working poor.

“Soaking” is certainly a way to frame taxation. By that logic, I’m soaked for more of my take-home pay by percent than these 900 people every two weeks. The reason I am ok with this is I use public infrastructure and common resources to make my money and, because I’m not stupid, I realize that something needs to fund these entities that help me and my family. I am taxed regularly on the money I make through work, the value of my home, and the things I buy. The money that these 900 people would be soaked for was largely accumulated by having other money already. They can go shit in their hat.

Soak? SOAK? If 900 people can fund the rest of us, soaking is the gentlest treatment

And all 900 of them got their money off of other people’s work, so fuck them. Take more away from them.

Soak them for every penny.

Would you rather be soaked or eaten?

Look, I don’t want fking 1 time 1-5k checks… I want fking affordable healthcare and the ability to afford a fking home and maybe a GD vacation maybe once in 10 years. I want to fking afford a decent vehicle and maybe support a fking family one day.
Tax all the fking billionaires 99% for all I care. Any reasonable person can live their live forever comfortably with at most 1B dollars. The gluttony has got to stop

Soak?
Tax the rich. Heavily.

Soak is such a crude term.
I prefer to think of it as a marinade
Soak is an odd way of saying fairly tax
Good. Soak the bastards.
