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

[Harpy Eagle]

So, are you saying that the 2019 congress did pass any spending on military?

They probably did, but the amount they approved of, not Trump.

But Trump was just bragging about how much money he got from them for the Military...sure seems like he approved.

He did brag when he got it passed under a Republican Congress. DumBama gutted military spending and used the money for social programs like food stamps, unemployment insurance extensions, and a list of other spending.

That is the party line, but the fact is that more money was spent on the military than under any president before him during the Obama Admin

I agree with that. Trump is proud of increasing military spending and trying to catch up to where DumBama left off. Heck, now China has a supersonic rocket that we don't have because they kept up with technology that we didn't.

Trump said we did have a hyper-sonic rocket. Why do you contradict the man you worship so much?

 

[j-mac]

Ok, I'll try and tone it down...No one is saying that Trump doesn't have a measure of responsibility for signing bills that explode the debt....But, all I am saying is that it didn't seem to be a problem to those on the left until Trump came to office...Now, all of the sudden Democrats are deficit hawks? I'm not buying it.

You are 100% correct. Just like during the Obama years it was the end of the world as we know it by the Repubs/right...and under Trump is it either not a big deal or it is not his fault after blaming Obama personally for 8 years.

This is what I mean when I say that wingnuts are all the same. Their values change based upon who is sitting in the White House.

Personally I have been bitching about it since the days of Reagan, no matter how was the POTUS

Nope, you're right...if I am going to politically use it against Democrats, then I have to intellectually honest and say that Trump is responsible for his.

[LaDairis]

Of course not. You’re just trying to shut down rational criticism by hiding behind the allegation of anti-Semitism. It’s pathetic.

They get that from church and Fox. Pro Israel churches in America tell their sub human flocks that anyone who is not in favor of using the US military to wipe out all of Israel's enemies is "Hitler" and "anti-semitic" and blah blah blah. Church going sub humans never question what they hear in church.

Funny thing, in 980, the dominant branch of Christianity was not Catholicism. It was a branch that predicted FRAUD JESUS would float down from the clouds in year 1000. It started the Crusades. Hundreds of thousands of unreal morons waged war in the "Holy Land" and died, and then in year 1000 Fraud Jesus did not float down from the clouds. There have been hundreds of failed predictions as to when that would happen.

Why anyone still believes in the New Testament is beyond me. "The Book" is proven wrong, and not just by Galileo.

Christianity is a Zionist scam designed to manipulate unChosen MORONS to SERVE ISRAEL, nothing more....

When you pack a "commission" with 100% Zionist Traitors, guess what.... they won't blame ISRAEL...

Einstein Letter Warning Of
Zionist Facism In Israel
Letter That Albert Einstein Sent to the New York Times
1948, Protesting the Visit of Menachem Begin
11-1-4

Letters to the Editor
New York Times
December 4, 1948
TO THE EDITORS OF THE NEW YORK TIMES:
Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the "Freedom Party" (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties. It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.

The current visit of Menachem Begin, leader of this party, to the United States is obviously calculated to give the impression of American support for his party in the coming Israeli elections, and to cement political ties with conservative Zionist elements in the United States. Several Americans of national repute have lent their names to welcome his visit. It is inconceivable that those who oppose fascism throughoutthe world, if correctly informed as to Mr. Begin's political record and perspectives, could add their names and support to the movement he represents.
Before irreparable damage is done by way of financial contributions, public manifestations in Begin's behalf, and the creation in Palestine of the impression that a large segment of America supports Fascist elements in Israel, the American public must be informed as to the record and objectives of Mr. Begin and his movement. The public avowals of Begin's party are no guide whatever to its actual character. Today they speak of freedom, democracy and anti-imperialism, whereas until recently they openly preached the doctrine of the Fascist state. It is in its actions that the terrorist party betrays its real character; from its past actions we can judge what it may be expected to do in the future.
Attack on Arab Village
A shocking example was their behavior in the Arab village of Deir Yassin. This village, off the main roads and surrounded by Jewish lands, had taken no part in the war, and had even fought off Arab bands who wanted to use the village as their base. On April 9 (THE NEW YORK TIMES), terrorist bands attacked this peaceful village, which was not a military objective in the fighting, killed most of its inhabitants ? 240men, women, and children - and kept a few of them alive to parade as captives through the streets of Jerusalem. Most of the Jewish community was horrified at the deed, and the Jewish Agency sent a telegram of apology to King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan. But the terrorists, far from being ashamed of their act, were proud of this massacre, publicized it widely, and invited all the foreign correspondents present in the country to view the heaped corpses and the general havoc at Deir Yassin. The Deir Yassin incident exemplifies the character and actions of the Freedom Party.
Within the Jewish community they have preached an admixture of ultranationalism, religious mysticism, and racial superiority. Like other Fascist parties they have been used to break strikes, and have themselves pressed for the destruction of free trade unions. In their stead they have proposed corporate unions on the Italian Fascist model. During the last years of sporadic anti-British violence, the IZL and Stern groups inaugurated a reign of terror in the Palestine Jewish community. Teachers were beaten up for speaking against them, adults were shot for not letting their children join them. By gangster methods, beatings, window-smashing, and wide-spread robberies, the terrorists intimidated the population and exacted a heavy tribute.
The people of the Freedom Party have had no part in the constructive achievements in Palestine. They have reclaimed no land, built no settlements, and only detracted from the Jewish defense activity. Their much-publicized immigration endeavors were minute, and devoted mainly to bringing in Fascist compatriots.
Discrepancies Seen
The discrepancies between the bold claims now being made by Begin and his party, and their record of past performance in Palestine bear the imprint of no ordinary political party. This is the unmistakable stamp of a Fascist party for whom terrorism (against Jews, Arabs, and British alike), and misrepresentation are means, and a "Leader State" is the goal.
In the light of the foregoing considerations, it is imperative that the truth about Mr. Begin and his movement be made known in this country. It is all the more tragic that the top leadership of American Zionism has refused to campaign against Begin's efforts, or even to expose to its own constituents the dangers to Israel from support to Begin.
The undersigned therefore take this means of publicly presenting a few salient facts concerning Begin and his party; and of urging all concerned not to support this latest manifestation of fascism.

[Harpy Eagle]

No, not many people have. I did read up on it several years ago, but I don't have the site available since it's been so long. It's not just a conversion of words. People spoke totally different back then.

Actually, nobody alive has as they are all destroyed. We have some bits and pieces, but that is it.

 

[colfax_m]

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.

How is defense spending playing Santa Clause? You do know that defense is a responsibility of our federal government, don't you?

Who’s responsibility is it to pay for defense spending? Y’all think it’s free.

 

[j-mac]

WASHINGTON/NEW YORK (Reuters) - The idea of imposing a wealth tax on the richest Americans has elicited sharply divergent views across a spectrum of politicians, with President Donald Trump branding it socialist and progressive Democratic presidential contenders Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders prominently endorsing it.

snip

Among the 4,441 respondents to the poll, 64% strongly or somewhat agreed that “the very rich should contribute an extra share of their total wealth each year to support public programs” - the essence of a wealth tax. Results were similar across gender, race and household income. While support among Democrats was stronger, at 77%, a majority of Republicans, 53%, also agreed with the idea.

If this is true, then the experiment called the United States of America as we know it is done....

Kind of a dumb question. Is anyone saying the very rich shouldn’t pay taxes?

No

Of course it's our responsibility to pay for it. The two biggest items responsible for the higher deficit were Social Security and defense spending.

 

[LaDairis]

This has been the talking point for Dems since Reagan, never mind Reagan's defense spending as a percent of the budget was way way less than JFK's.


Democrats steal. They don't like military spending because that is spending that is hard for them to steal. It is much easier to steal from "social spending."

You are 100% correct. Just like during the Obama years it was the end of the world as we know it by the Repubs/right...and under Trump is it either not a big deal or it is not his fault after blaming Obama personally for 8 years.

The Speaker is more important about spending than the President, just as "trickle down" Bill Clinton, who wanted to spend much more than Newt Gingrich allowed him to, and now Bill Clinton takes credit for those budgets, never mind that it was Bill Clinton who shut down the government trying to get more spending....
