What is the customer service manager at Bank of America, who gets paid 75k a year, and stock grants that vest over three year schedules? Are they proletariat or bourgeois? Are the white collar workers on the phone that get paid less, but are promoted to supervisors or managers at a 15% per year rate really proletariat?0 -

I reckon a roughly 25% tax on salarys and then an extra 20% on everything above 5-6000 a month is resonable.- 0% from 0 dollars to 2000 dollars
- Circa 25%: from 2000 dollats to 5000 dollars
- 25%+ 20%: from 5000 dollars to 6000 dollars
- 25%+ 25%: above 6000 dollars
I dont see a problem initself that people make money
Personally, I prefer a flat tax vs. some arbitrary group deciding what at what dollar level increased taxes are justified. I'm not all that familiar with tax terminology so perhaps "flat" is incorrectly used, but my hope is that all pay the same percentage - perhaps with more give for those with lower income.
By the way, I don't think $6000 a month is ridiculous.0 -

Yes, it's complicated. Lots of difficult things are worth doing.0 -

2) this quote caught me off guard “ (In case you’re wondering, yes, it is a violation of the National Labor Relations Act to surveil workers engaged in protected, concerted activity, or to punish them for acting in concert in defense of their rights.”
this was in reference to employee walking out on their shifts. Personally I think it’s a crazy comment as anyone who left early or showed up late for any job would be held accountable for it. So not sure what the hell they are talking about.

They don't need to do that- they get plenty fucked already by low wages and poor working conditions. And they and most of us pay all the taxes while Bezos pays none and buys his islands!
