Not quite...She most certainly is saying that we need to tax the rich more. She says it quite plainly all the time. And she justifies it with this "you didn't build that" bullshit. When liberals say "you didn't build that", they are really saying "You didn't earn that". And since you didn't earn it, it is okay to confiscate it.She did NOT say that. Anywhere.Warren is using the same tired communist argument that rich people didn't earn their money and therefore it is okay to rob them of whatever amount we please.I thought she was talking about paying taxes. If that "hunk" she wants from business is something else, I stand corrected.The first 45 seconds are identical to things Trump was saying before he decided Republicans were easier to hoax.Is there anything wrong with what she said, G?
The last 1:15 is pure, unadulterated communist horseshit.
Otherwise, I see nothing at all "communist" in anything she said It is absolutely true that all those things--roads, police, etc. are all funded by everyone's taxes. That should include the businesses, yes? Is she saying businesses should pay a lot more than they do, or what? I know a lot of times communities are so eager to get a company into town for the jobs it will provide that they cut a deal giving the business a break on taxes. Was that what she was talking against, maybe?
I'm not trying to argue; maybe I'm dense, but I'm not getting how her points were communist.
See my signature. Ronald Reagan.
So you think a person earning $16,000 per year, living in a single wide on his grandpa's property, should pay the same tax rate as Donald Trump and his business?
Explain, please.
That's the mindset at work here.
On the flipside, I am deeply opposed to tax expenditures, too. I do not believe someone should be rewarded with a refund of tax dollars for behaving the way the government wants them to behave. Those tax expenditures have to be replaced by either taxing everyone at higher rates or by borrowing.
Our government does both. It taxes all of us more, and borrows TRILLIONS. Trump has made sure our government has to borrow even more than ever.
This is why I have become more and more supportive of the Fair Tax over the years. One which has NO exemptions. No exemptions is critical.
All she is saying is that you do not accumulate wealth or preserve wealth without the benefit of a strong society.
Given that the wealthy benefit more, they should contribute more
