No, most people do not seek out competitor businesses (or even businesses in other sectors like in this case) so they can fire all the human workers in the hope of making more money.
Non-tax-deductable donations are a voluntary waiver of salary. Most people have ethics and a conscience, its just the greedy minority that fuck it up for the community-minded majority.
would you want to voluntarily waive parts of your salary?
Yes, I tend to vote for increased taxes to invest in education, environment, social welfare. And yes, that includes progressive taxes that hit me harder (as long as that also applies to the wealthy), and vice taxes that target my vices
True, but there’s no reason that can’t coexist with a sense of fairness, and witha long term greater good
Of course I don’t want to pay more taxes. However I realize I’ve been more successful than some, and a more progressive tax scheme is fair. I realize I have vices and don’t mind if there is a discouragement, as long as it applies to everyone fairly. I realize my success is based on a successful society and understand it is only fair to leave society in at least as good condition as I found it. Most importantly I have kids so I’m all for building a better future for them …. And understand that includes the society they will live in, the environment they will live in
bunch of greedy fucks.
greed should be a registered mental illness that’s no different than OCD, schizophrenia, or PTSD.
Everyone is greedy. It’s just rational maximization of profits. You do too. Or would you want to voluntarily waive parts of your salary?

In the meantime ask your boss for a lower salary so your company can make more profits.
Hopefully you can see the difference between working for someone else profit, vsinvestments in all of our well being and a more fair tax structure
So there is levels to greediness? You can call for higher taxes to have your conscience clear so you can be greedy elsewhere?
Everyone is greedy. Nobody wants less income if it affects their quality of life.
