Majority of Americans favor wealth tax on very rich: Reuters/Ipsos poll

[j-mac]

Socialist countries like Sweeden, and others tried this, and it failed, driving business out of their countries. They had to rescind these taxes and scale back the "free stuff" they were offering everyone, so why are American voters stupid enough to implement policies which failed everywhere else?

Because we don't learn....Socalists don't believe that it failed, only that the other countries must not have done it right....

You are aware that Sweden has a 70% top tax rate, right? They have not rolled anything back.

Hmmmm....Maybe you should move there then....You'd be happier. right?

how do we go from pointing out a simple fact to YOU NEED TO MOVE come up?

i thought only the left was prone to moody bullshit answers like that.

Wingnuts are the same, it matters not if they are on the left wing or the right.

I'm not calling you names...So, take your "wingnut" comment and shove it up your ass!

Because in trying to justify increasing taxation in the United states, Gator felt it necessary to tell me that Sweeden's high tax rate was 70%...So, if higher taxes are what he seeks, maybe he would be happier there...Please try and keep up...

I did not justify anything, I corrected a lie that you had replied to.

Why do you hate facts so very much?

Trump is running a trillion dollar deficit right now in a good economy at full unemployment. That’s about as prolific as it gets.

Trump isn't running anything to do with the debt....The House is...

That’s objectively not true. The president has signed every tax and spending bill for the last 3 years. He takes credit for spending large sums on the military, for avoiding cuts to entitlements, and for cutting taxes. Be real.

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"

- Article 1 Section 8

Show me where that says the President? In fact tell me what the bolded part there says....

Cmon, don’t be dense. You know that the president has signed every spending and tax bill passed.

When Trump takes credit for tax cuts passed in 2018, are willing to call him a liar? When he takes credit for spending on the military, are you willing to call him a liar?

The tax cuts and military spending took place under a Republican House.

And that’s how Republicans play Santa Claus. Spend whatever you want. Don’t bother paying for it. Cut taxes further. Free money.

we did not spend anything on the military this past year?

Are you sure about that?

Is that what you would prefer?

It makes a difference in what percentage of my income I pay in property tax.

No doubt, and one of the primary reasons we moved from Maryland, to South Carolina....The fact of the matter is that Government has become so bloated, so demanding, something as far as taxation it never should have become....They act like we only labor for their needs, and they allow us to keep what they do....

Enough! Every time I turn around there is a damned tax on something going to cigar smoking fat asses that just waste my money on things I have no say on....

It's hard to compete against Santa Clause. Vote buying is a strategy that's been used by the left since I've been on this planet. Keep voting for us, and not only will we keep giving you X, we promise to give you more. Free college, free healthcare, free paid time off and so forth.

You think Democrats are the only ones that buy votes?

I don't, but they certainly the most prolific....

Trump is running a trillion dollar deficit right now in a good economy at full unemployment. That’s about as prolific as it gets.

Get the Progs to cut a trillion dollars from the budget. Back in the 1980's it was estimated a quarter to third of the federal budget was corruption and misuse. If we really really really really really wanted to, we cut painstakingly cut a lot from the deficit without people who are honestly living being affected. Now what affect the teillion dollars cut if suddenly would be on the economy, that is something else. Deficit spending used to provide growth. Now deficit spending keeps us treading water and we are sinking as money is being put into investment by the federal reserve/government regularly.

It's rhetoric....I know that, you know that...Unless you are saying that you think that the President introduces spending bills, and demands that the Congress pass them, and it happens....That would just be dumb.

Is rhetoric your euphemism for a lie?

Do you think Trump had no part in the budget process or the tax cut legislation? Obviously not.

Not at all, but I wold like to see a 15% cut in spending across the board, every single department in the government. Unlike you I am not a fan of deficit spending.

yep. thats where i'd start. review 100% of our spending and stop doing what no longer makes sense. yes it will hurt some people, i'm sure, who've come to rely on that. but if the programs are not really suited for this time, end them.

stop asking for money w/o ending unnecessary spending.

Well, according to you guys he is barely smart enough to tie his shoes in the morning...So, now he is smart enough to write the legislation, and muscle it through...Man, you morons need to make up your mind...

Everyone wants to cut spending in the abstract. They rarely want to do it in reality because it’s actually quite hard.

Cutting taxes is easy. Cutting spending is hard. Republicans are lazy so they always jump on the first bit and worry about the second bit later (or never).

No lower taxes till we no longer have any debt to pass on to our kids. it is immoral to do so.

You’re being evasive. You were around in 2018, weren’t you? You know he was using his office to push hard for tax cuts. You know he had administration officials in the meeting with Congress to design the legislation.

We should not tax the wealthy and instead do a better job of taxing the poor more...they can definitely afford it...…..


How can you tax the wealth class to the point that they can barely afford their 4th summer home -- but these filthy poor people have 50" Smart TV's and apple phones??

It's obscene how this country continues to trample over the rights of the wealthy....they barely got a tax cut last time...they need larger tax cuts this year or our nation is done
