Leftists: Why not tax 100% of income and we all work for govt?

Leftists/college students think that: a. raising taxes will help the economy, b. increasing govt spending will help the economy, c. jobs all come from govt, d. innovations all come from govt, e. govt debt doesn't matter, f. business is evil while govt is good, So then why stop here? Why not tax 100% of income, abolish all private business, we all just work for the govt, everyone will be happy... right? America will be like the happiest place on Earth: Cuba. Should California try this right away (they are already 5/8ths the way there)?

"From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs." it sounded good when Marx wrote it, but it has not worked very well in practice.
Although you are attempting to be sarcastic, you DO realize some hard-core lefties are reading what you wrote and saying "RIGHT ON BROTHER!!!", right?
We will make the simple minded conservatives do all the work (but we will still allow them to have their simple pleasures. Country music, Blue Collar Comedy Tour, cheap beer, we aren't totally heartless) But we elite liberals will lounge on the beach and read books of poetry philosophy to each other
California should not try this! I like the weather here and I don't want to leave! lol
Exactly, more pork for Pelosi wasteful pet projects like the 'wine train" which produced 12 jobs for 52 million of taxpayer dollars and millions more for her jet fuel to gallivant around the world. we have had enough. NO NEW TAXES!!!!!
why not just protest the income tax and refuse to pay sounds alot more patriotic
The top 5% of income earners represent over 80% of the taxes paid in this country. Why not just force them to pay for all of it? RIGHT MR PRESIDENT?
Do you really want someone to teabag you?
You have put forward a straw man to argue against and then ask other people to support it. It isn't even a very good straw man. The real issue of taxes as I see it is to return the progressive nature of the US tax system that Bush removed. The country ran well with a more progressive tax structure and nobody even proposed the 70% top tax rate that the US had in the 1960's. A modest increase in the top rates should be sufficient.
SHhhhh... that is the plan, they just have to go one step at a time!!
LMAO! This was funny. I would support this if the government paid all my bills, provided a perfect healthcare system and politicians also paid 100% of income.
