这么倾向性明显的纪录片我一般是不喜欢的,但是很多观点大快人心。
右派论调:You call them the rich, I call them job creators. How can we keep the economy growing while raising tax on job creators?
左派公司CEO回复:When somebody calls themselves job creators, they are not describing the economy, or how the economy works, although it sounds like so. What they’re really doing is making a claim on status, privilege and power.
在这边工作觉得最不公平的就是税收制度了,capital gain和carried interest 最高税率15%,而普通人的收入税基本是30%。C-suite和capital market investors交的税率远低于工薪,更别提庞大的税收基数。可惜富人的蛋糕太大,怎么也动不了,人们只能把火撒在移民和外国企业身上。但凡capital gain税率提高一点,都可以解决多少教育和医疗问题。
When you give the rich business people tax breaks in the name of job creation, all that really happens is that the fat cats get fatter.
