He's not being punished, that's just how taxes work.

Also, the idea that the success he “achieved” was not off the backs of all the people that work for him is certainly a take

Exactly, so if anything, this jerkoff should be grateful that he can improve the lives of the people who made him successful by paying a pittance more in taxes.

Or his employees should be thankful for the job he let them have, and with all the other taxes already in place, Massachusetts can make do with what it already collects.

Gonna go ahead and guess you’re a boomer because only boomers and their selfish-ass mindset use phrases like “employees should be grateful”

Nope thirty five. Worked for everything I have, can't justify additional taxes when the state collects enough as it is.

Well since you likely aren’t making over $1Mil a year, it won’t effect you

Reality often is. If you can't work for yourself, you work for someone else. Have an issue? work somewhere else; isn't that what people like you were screaming when others got fired over vaccine mandates?

Yeah, there's already taxes in place. The Additional ones would be considered punitive.

Make no sense. An extra tax is being imposed simply for business success.

No, this would be a tax according to the business success.

He would already pay 5% on whatever he makes, just like everybody else in MA.
Question #1 is asking him to pay more just because he's more successful.

He does literally pay more it’s a flat tax percentage not a flat tax amount. I’m not decided but just want people to be clear on that.

This is the point they like to ignore and circle back to "make more tax more, we live in a society, etc"
