The rich don’t pay their fair share.

[AzogtheDefiler]

Again everyone has equal rights. I am Happy. Don’t care how much Bill Gates makes.

A flat tax like we have is a giveaway to the rich and screws everyone else with cuts in services, super dupe.

The video won't enlighten your viewpoint unless you watch it.

Why don't you give it a try?

of course you are a brainwashed functional moron who can only think in terms of federal income tax, which is much smaller than it ever was and is the only progressive tax we have. Cuts in federal income taxes the last 35 years have ruined investment federally and have led to higher state and local taxes and fees, which kill the non Rich. You are brain-dead at this point.

What is a “non Rich” person? You use nebulous terminology and then insult those that cannot follow your train of throught. How is that remotely sane?

Well the Democrats talked about 250,000 and 400000 income as rich. I'm sorry you people know nothing but imaginary scandals and b******* misinformation. And don't worry the rich will always find a way to get their taxes lower...

Nope BHO actually stated that $400k is not that much for a family of four with two kids in college. So try again please.

I already told you we should have a consumption tax but you don’t want that either. You’re too busy killing babies in NY.

We need to tax the rich their fair share with with a 70% top rate at least. More taxes on the non rich is the last thing we need. Democrats agree and said that for years D, Super Duper.

What is your operational definition of “rich” please? And how do you define “fair share “ why is 70% the “fair” %?

Ocasio Cortez said 70% over 10 million dollars income. I like it because JFK put it down to 70% from 90% under Eisenhower. Reagan put it down to 50% and had his success, but he cut it to 28% about what it's been since, and it's just bad for the country great for the mega rich. Only propaganda and lies can make this possible, super dupe..

Is it 70% for any monies earned over $10mil or for all the $10mil? AOC is not an economist. Why do you think this is a fair %? Surely not because a bartender from NY likes it?

because that is what my hero JFK made it before Reagan screwed up everything as far as I'm concerned, super duper.

70% on anything over $10mil. So that is your final answer? JFK would be a Republican seeing what the Democrat party has become.

That is also correct, especially at these GOP prices.

Except they don’t elect HOR members who blatantly hate Jews. Your party does. And your party allows men to go into women’s bathrooms. This is not even close to the JFK Democrats. He would either switch to GOP or run as an independent. He would laugh at AOC.

We’ve heard these words thousands of times. For those that agree they don’t, what does it mean to you? If taxes go up to 70% - 90% for “rich” folks, do you feel your taxes won’t go up? Let’s say you’re income is between $38,700 - $82,500, currently paying 22%. How much should your taxes go up? Or for some reason do you feel if the rich pay more, then you’ll get more?

I'm currently paying more in taxes than your mean, so exactly what the fuck are you saying we do?? You fucking right wingers never have any solutions. No, you asshole. I don't want to pay more in taxes. So, what is your solution, winger? Flesh it out for us, right here. Let's hear your ultimate solution so we all pay less taxes. I'm waiting.

You are a brainwashed functional moron. she doesn't hate Jews, she hates right wing assholes like Sharon and netinYahoo, and I'm with her. What they're doing to the Palestinians is another right-wing disgrace.

It will be 70% on over $10 million initially, then on $5 million, then $1 million, then on everyone. That's how it already is in some socialists countries, government takes 70% of every dollar and doles it out as they see fit.

People keeping the money they earn is not a give away. Bust into your neighbors house, take all the money out of his wallet and grab his big screen tv. Let us know how that works out.

The people that Democrats want to tax more don't live anywhere near me. The richest over 10 million dollars 70%. Only brainwashed fools would vote for the disastrous GOP and it's lying minions.

This is about the whole economy, not ridiculous GOP common sense LOL. The rich are getting way too rich and there is not enough money to invest in infrastructure and Education and Training for opportunity. Worst upward mobility and inequality ever. Great job!

This entire thread simply points out the audacious greed of the far left, my Progressive good friends.

The thought of doing anything, with their own money, never enters the mind of a Progressive.

Progressives here are strongly advocating a 70-90% tax on everything earned by someone over $10 million a year.

Is that for a household, all earnings combined, or each person earning over $10 million?

Nor have I seen any Progressive detailing how much money that would add to the till. Why? Because they don't have a clue about that which proves that Progressives are not concerned with how much money would be generated but rather they are desperately concerned that success is PUNISHED and punished severely! Why?

So, Progressives, how many individuals earn over $10 million per year and how much would you proposed tax generate?

No rants or diatribes, just two simple answers. How many and how much!

 

[Markle]

My far left Progressive good friends seem to think that going back to a 70-90 percent tax would be for the good of the country.

Were we to do that, of course, we would have to make suitable adjustments for inflation and a solution as to how to fund SS and Medicare.

Here is what would have to happen.

I have done this before but I’ll do it again for your edification, from (1963). It will do for our purposes. Anyone (a single person) earning $4,000 per year or less paid income tax at the rate of 20%. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $31,800.00 per year. That translates to everyone earning LESS THAN $31,800 PER YEAR TODAY WOULD PAY 20% INCOME TAX. Gosh, that sure would eliminate that 48% that pay no income tax today! Way to go!

As for the top rate of your beloved 91% in 1963, that was paid by those earning over $400,000.00 Adjusted for inflation, that would be $3,186,770.00 today. Do you want to tell us that 1% of the nation earns of 3.2 MILLION PER YEAR? Really?

In the same year, employees paid 3.625% for Social Security and the employer paid nothing. Not quite the 15.2% of today.

Now, do you really want to go back to those rates? Are you aware of the long, long list of deductions in 1963? All interest on everything and the list goes on.

All anyone need do is review how things were societally before when we've had at various time frames BOTH 70% and 90% marginal tax rates, there's no mystery around any of it. The corporate state is very nervous.

Why do your posts always go in circles and never have a point?

we can also go back in time and see how a country was built w/o NEAR the tax revenue they have now.

Nope, our current empire requires ever more and more to occupy and control the planet. This is why we now cannibalize the "homeland" economically.

What empire? What land do we 'occupy'? How are we cannibalizing the homeland?
