I could care less about cars and such. I'm talking about powerful families which become dynasties. It dangerous. They tend to control the government....get preferential treatment...get drunk....drive cars over bridges killing girls...and walk. And that's just one example.
Furthermore...Those who benefit the most in this country and become Bill Gates or Steve Jobs...Or Walmart do owe a debt to the country. Walmart could never have built that Empire in any other country. Only in America.
Walmart is a direct beneficiary of our Tax system....Food Stamps....Interstate system...electrical grid...etc.
When its time to pay for those things which make this country great...do you really think a family which already earned 25% of this countries wealth....should continue to benefit from our infrastructure...and our food stamp and welfare system.....and not have to pay to maintain this countries infrastructure. If they aren't taxed...who is going to pay for it. YOU ? Me ?
It ain't going to be the person who has nothing who is getting Medicaid and food stamps. So who should pay ?
How would you calculate a person or company's benefit from all of that infrastructure that you seem to think the government produced? Why isn't the huge sum Walmart pays now, enough? They pay income taxes ( 32%), fuel taxes for trucks, road use fees, etc. They claim to have 7k truck drivers. I bet that's a lot of fuel with specialized taxes just for roads. And yet, for you, it still isn't enough. I don't know how old you are, but there's a line from an old song by 10 Years After called "I'd love to change the world". The line is "Tax the rich, feed the poor, til there are no, rich no more"
