In the racing world trainers would rather pay the fine the government is going to give them than even consider getting health insurance for their workers all the while driving their BMW's and Benz's and living in one of their two houses.
True they have earned their cars and houses and I dont deny them that, but it would be nice if they just even considered looking into insurance, other small buisness can make it work so I dont know why they cant.
The first rule of business: pay yourself first. That will never change, no matter how creatively they try to tax or regulate us out of our own money.

I'm glad you realize that. That is precisely why Reaganomics, or "trickle down" economics, the goal of slashing taxes and costs for the wealthy at the top of the pile does not work to create jobs and wealth for those many below.

You nailed the entire failed economic policy of the GOP for the past 50 years in a nutshell

It accounts for the world being at the edge of a worldwide depression, unemployment being almost as high as during Ronald Reagan, while the few at the top, CEO's and businesses, take historic record profit margins.

Does taxing one more than 50% cumulative make him a worker of the State?

If not who is he a worker of? We're above that, always have been, and that's what makes us great. Self reliance, ask not what your country can do for you, we will fight rather than pay a randsom, all what we need to get back to.

Do we want to be a socialist country?

Don't think so. Or at least hope not.
