The way every "democrat socialist" thinks. So obsessed there are no wealthy people EXCEPT FOR THEM.

$174K sounds like a lot but in NYC or DC it won't go very far as it would in Iowa.

Oh, so you think she should taxed 70% of her money then, like all of you fucking losers yell about?

Well, considering 174k is the upper 15% of all wage earners, how much do YOOOOOU think she should be taxed.

You need to calm down or at least get your facts straight. No one thinks she should be taxed at 70%, not even her. Her plan would set the rate of 70% on annual income over $10 million. She doesn't earn over $10 million so she would not be paying 70%.

As for what I think we should pay in taxes? I think it's a stupid question. The question is what do we want the federal gov't to pay for? Once we can agree on that, we can look at the options for raising the money. If the gov't paid for all my room and board, healthcare, retirement, clothes, cars, travel, and beer, I'd happily pay 70% of my income.

Lol, the classic bait and switch. Anyone making "10 million?"

Good Lord you people are ridiculous.

Apparently for the little fucking tart, 174K per year is just simply not enough, even though that puts her into the top 15% of all wage earners.

Nancy Pelosi is in the top 5% of all earners.

Here, I thought these great :"democrat socialists" would offer to take PAY CUTS, but no.

Folks, I keep saying the dumbest people on earth are American female socialists. Let me clarify here. The dumbest people on earth are the middle class American socialists. The most annoying people on earth are the pathetic elitist upper 15% American socialists.

Bottom line is they are simply disgusting people and their voters are not worth a bag of shit.

Congress hasn’t seen a pay increase in ten years

A 2.5 % increase over ten years is not that much

We already agreed upon what the government should do... or well... our ancestors did, hundreds of years ago. Do you know about the constitution?

The issue has been settled, and it doesn't include your car, your travels, or any other free shit that you lust for.

How many aircraft carriers are in the Constitution?

You seemed to have overlooked where I wrote: "I'd happily pay 70% of my income". Nowhere in my post will you find the word 'free'.

The military is very much in there. Maybe read it sometime.

Well someone would probably not pay 70% and get it for free. That's probably you for you to be so anti-American that you think 70% tax rate is acceptable.

Please explain it to me, I'd hate to look ridiculous by not having a clue what I write about.

How much taxes does the Constitution say we should pay? What kind of taxes?

As for being an American, since 1917, the beginning, the top tax rate has been >=70% for about 1/2 that time. If there are any MAGA folk out there, I'd think they would want to roll back the clock and support AOC.

Let me show you the taxes people actually PAID.

Never escalating tax increases as the anti-Americans take over the country.

You can go fuck yourself, preferably in some socialist shithole.

A bag of shit can be used for fertilizer, thus it has substance; your post, filled by hot air, lacks any tangible benefits.

Socialism in practice is not a singular thing. It is manifested in a number of different way in many countries.

You use the word as a pejorative, and yet if you have been a victim of a crime, you will report it (most likely) to your local police dept. One of many public agencies which employ government employees, which provide a needed service without a profit motive.

The entire lexicon of Political Science has been upset by RW Propaganda, mostly out of the mouths of far right Pols and Social Media Iconoclasts'.

The 21st Century Conservative movement is generally anti intellectual, and echo each other with out every following the advice of President Reagan, "trust but verity".

Too many of them confuse Socialism with despots and totalitarian nation-states, comport Socialism with both fascism and Communism and fail to recognize Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, et al, Democratic.

Interesting, thanks. Curiously, when you compare the two graphs they seem completely unrelated. It seems that changing the top tax rate has no impact on total revenue so that is a red herring. It is wealth inequality, shrinking middle class, social mobility, etc. that we should be discussing.

If you're ignorant you can be scared, if you're scared you can be manipulated to do the bidding of others and love them for it.

Nancy Pelosi, partially due to her husband, but also due to her political connections, and unethical insider trading, is very, very wealthy.

Making an allegation such as this needs supportive evidence, which meets the standard of probity. Do you have such evidence, or be honest and admit you are attacking her character because you don't like her.
