Comments by "Jim Mcneal" (@jimmcneal5292) on "Why You're Not “Middle Class”" video.
That's such an outrageously idiotic socialist/communist propaganda. 1)Progressive tax rate makes people who are "upper working class" in your classification opponents of "lower working class". Former would love to see proportional or regressive tax rate instead of current system. Moreover capital gains tax would also be a bone of contention for them. 2)Even for smallest business owners there's no reason to align former two groups. They would rather support cutting profit tax as much as possible. 3)There are no "non-working capitalists" that you try to portray here. People who don't directly sell their labor still have to apply efforts, whether by meeting necessary people and organizing others all day or by searching investment opportunities. 4)"Small businesses" are not necessary going to be cannibalized by mega corporations. Just look at the research in supersonic private jets. It's too risky for big companies to fund R&D in this field, so small startups strive. Small businesses are also going to be more effective in producing some very high-specialized goods, just because of lesser bureaucracy.
