Any thoughts on what to do about the consolidation of wealth by people that don't want to help society? I honestly appreciate what you do as opposed to what you could do with your wealth. I find that many of the richest learned something different in business school ethics classes

I applaud Mark's activity on medical pricing, but a free country cannot count on the ultra-rich to decide on the priorities of society. The government needs to keep the less glamorous aspects of citizen services running through taxes & laws, and the rich should be counted on to pay their fair share.

As a fiscal hawk, I believe two things to be true. It is true that government spending needs to be controlled in a way to reduce waste and fraud. I think the defense department is the biggest abuse of our tax dollars. But it can also be trued that we need more tax dollars to fund our govt.

How about if EVERYONE paid their fair share?! The rich should be paying at least the same rate as the middle class or the poor. It would be easier for them to do without the same percentage of $ than for the rest of us who have to watch every penny.
aug 24, 2025, 11:24 pm • 9 0 • view
This is partially a function of a tax code with special rates for capital gains, special deductions, special credits, etc. Also a FICA cap. I would argue that you could get the rich to pay a similar percentage by simplifying the tax code. Get rid of FICA and just increase the income tax rate.

This is nice work, but taxes are the responsibility of every citizen. The wealthy succeed based on the infrastructure provided by the poor and middle class. They must pay their fair share. Charity work is a drop in the bucket and they get tax break for it.

I'm not opposed to having one pay their fair share. But "fair share" is a subjective term. I would argue one way to get to a "fair share" is to simplify the tax code and have less deductions and credits.
aug 25, 2025, 12:03 am • 1 1 • view
Yeah, let everyone just follow the law. Fair isn’t subjective. It’s mandated by law. And by any standard, the wealthy aren’t paying anything like a proportional amount. Plus they evade and litigate their way out of supporting our society.

We can’t let T’s anomalies distort the underlying truth. The super rich get away with shirking their responsibilities to society. They don’t get to make up their own tax code just because they think they are treated unfairly. Plus, they act better when they have a tangible stake in the country.

Assuming you’re right, reaching an equitable solution can’t be achieved with vigilanteism. Let the wealthy get on board, and be full participants in American society. Then we can talk about fairness. Until then, they don’t deserve a voice.
