De Blasio On Paying For Single-Payer Health Care: ‘Time For The Wealthy To Pay Their Fair Share’

The old tired and decrepit talking point gets dusted off again.

Name one Democrat politician who writes a donation to the IRS and then we can talk. We all know what they mean by ‘the wealthy’ - anyone with a job.

De Blasio on Paying For Single-Payer: ‘Time For The Wealthy To Pay Their Fair Share’ - AIR.TV
"Soak-the-rich" seems his response to everything and, of course, he is to be the judge of what is their "fair share."

"We are going to tax the hell out of the wealthy" (then eat them) - Billy de
translation,

we want all americans to suffer!!!!!
Bill Maher doesn't even try to hide it:

Liberal Media Scream: Bill Maher cheers economic collapse if it dooms Trump
“I’ve been hoping for a recession — people hate me for it — but it would get rid of Trump, so you shouldn’t hate me for it.”
To which, Barro noted: “Recessions are really bad. People lose their jobs and their homes.”
Maher doubled down: “I know. It’s worth it.”
I can't stand the mthr fkr, he is the most vile human on tv.

And the one congresswoman that wanted to boycott his show I trashed for his sake. Even he is allowed to speak his peace, no matter how vile he is. I don't watch, I don't tell anyone else to not watch, that's up to the individual. And, when a leftist can treat a citizen as an individual, until then, they can all kiss my white ass.
 
No one at any point has ever said $174k is rich. It has been said multiple times this would apply only on income earned above $10 million annually. This is one of many reasons why that meme is grossly incorrect.

Sigh...no one has said $174,000 is rich, they have said THE RICH should pay their fair share. As far as income above $10 million, there seems to be about 2000 people in the US that earned that amount and above, and no matter how much you tax them, it will never be enough to pay for any of the plans these libs are proposing. So they would need to raise taxes on more people, how about the top 10%, well what does a 10 percenter earn, lets take a look at a link.

Two Thousand Americans Made Over $10 Million Last Year

Here's what you need to earn to be in the top 10% in 25 major US cities

Then why does the meme incorrectly apply the 70% rate to her salary of $174k? When that would never happen in reality.

Because it gets the point across...to most.

If the point is to keep feeding the sheep lies, then yes it does get the point across. But it's patently incorrect.

No one with a salary of $174k will ever remotely come close to reaching a 70% tax rate.

And a 70% tax rate wouldn't even be applied to the entire income(as it implies in this meme), only the portion above $10 million.

This meme is a flat out lie that intentionally deceives people and intends to scare people by lying to them.

Again, if we hope to ever make progress as a nation we should at least base our knowledge on facts and not lies.


Ok, so let's keep things simple, current top tax rate is 37%, to get to the proposed 70% they would need to double the rate (close enough). The lowest rate is 10%, lets double that also. So if for some reason your income is $9700 (top dollar for the 10% rate), excluding any deductions you would be paying about $970, but because of the increase in taxes (20%) you'd then be paying $1940. How's that sound to you?

Who is proposing doubling the bottom rate? This plan is only talking about adding a new bracket above the current top bracket that would only impact income over $10 million. All other brackets would remain as is.

Now you're talking about whether it would be effective or not. That's not the issue.

The issue is the meme in the OP is completely misrepresenting what is being proposed and is creating a lie that is being shared as if it were fact.
 
Why does your cute little image say 70% = $121,800 in taxes?

Wow, really? $174,000.00 at a 70% tax rate = $121,800.00. Let us know if you have any more math questions.

Oh wow, another person that doesn't understand how tax brackets work. And you're a Trump supporter.

Is anyone surprised?

Actually I do know how tax brackets work, the math shown is a basic representation. To show you actual numbers would confuse the hell out of you. Next you can tell us how you loons would stop at 70%...dumbass.

So do you think AOC or anyone is proposing taking 70% of the income of anyone making $174,000?

Yea, there is no magic number, they use the term "rich". You may want to consider looking up income levels to help you figure out what "rich" actually means to them.
TO liberals.. Rich is anyone that has a job and allows them to keep any monies... ObamaCare indicated anyone over 35,000.00 a year.... That's about $12.00 an hour... And they really want 90% not just 70%..
