Bernie is on the Senate floor posting pictures of Jeff Bezos' assets and demanding we stop giving him so much damn money

[francoHFW]

how is it an attack if it was applied to everyone?

It's time to start calling the "progressive" income tax what it really is....an attack on success and work

And what every successful country ever has had duh....but thanks for the brain washed outlook from the greedy idiot lying GOP megarich.....later much, chumps...

 

[francoHFW]

But here is really the only tax graph you need: It's total tax burden by income group. And as you'll see, every income group is paying something, and the rich aren't paying much more, as a percentage of their incomes, then the middle class.

Sounds like a good reason to tax all income at the capital gains rate.

The Gilded Age of 1890 was the last time inequality was this bad. You must read "The Good Old Days- They Were Terrible!".

Link to your data on the income gap in 1890?

how does the middle class disappear when people get too rich?

so is it your position. that the entire point of the income tax tok keep people frok getting too rich?

how’s that worked out?

 

[WTH_Progs?]

There is nothing radical about saying that the wealthiest people in this country ought to pay their fair share of taxes.

What's radical is Bezos making $142,667 every 60 seconds while more than half our people live paycheck to paycheck.

Obama will be worth 200 Million by his 65th Bday simply for lying to you about "fairness" and "sharing the wealth". Thoughts?

how is that fair?

 

[Grumblenuts]

when people get too rich?

And the middle class disappears? .

how is that fair?

Good question.

 

[struth]

Good question.

hi does the middle class disappear if people get too rich? are you saying because they move out of the middle class to the upper middle class?

Rich not taxed enough equals not enough money to invest in infrastructure and education and training. Then you get the total crap GOP of today that only exists by duping the rubes....
