Charles Barkley...rich people shouldn't get to keep their own money...

[2aguy]

so, this num nutz is opposed to tax cuts for rich people......I suggest he apply my Hollywood Tax Schedule to his own life.....he simply hands over all of his money, keeping about 250,000 dollars for himself.....that is more than enough to have a good life......then let's see if he believes in his tax cut policies...

Charles Barkley Says ‘Rich People Should Not Get Tax Breaks’

 

[Mac1958]

Good for him.

What the Republicans are somehow not seeing (I have my assumptions as to why) is the sociological aspect of the tax system and macroeconomics.

There is a tipping point at which wealth inequality goes too far, at which we lose fundamental social equilibrium. When that happens, we can expect precisely what is always next whenever we go too far - a revolt and a knee-jerk reaction in the opposite direction.

We're pretty close right now. Maybe we're there.

Knee-jerk reactions are never constructive.

Somehow, we still haven't learned that one.

Did you think your theory only applied to some and not others?

You appear to be saying that wealth inequality isn't nearly large enough. Is that it?

ISIS is a Bush creation and we`ve always had taxes. When Obama took office the DOW was hanging around 7,000 and we were losing 745,000 jobs a month. The good old days in your eyes.
Tony Blair is right: without the Iraq war there would be no Islamic State
Blair was warned about Isis - and now we're paying the price

I am stating outright that the failed policies of the Obama/Clinton era were soundly rejected by voters.

They were? Who, electoral voters?

And what in the world does that have to do with my point?

Why didn't Obama destroy ISIS during his eight years? It only took Trump 11 months. Why didn't Obama push for the economy-boosting tax cuts that Trump did, rather than the soul and economy-crushing taxes he imposed?

Yes, electoral voters. You know, the ones that matter.

Okay, so losing by three million votes equates to a sound rejection. Got it. I think you really nailed it there.

Now tell me, what does any of this have to do with my point, the sociological aspect of taxes and macroeconomics?

Or is all I'm going to get from you the standard two-dimensional partisan rhetoric?
