Why do big cities vote Democrat?

[Vegasgiants]

Why?

I think that would help cover some needed social programs

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Cities don't create any wealth, they concentrate it from outside.

Uh huh. And drive the economic growth of their states and their residents.

 

[Big Bend Texas]

Because they can well afford it and it would be better for Americans

Tax policy isn't about reshaping outcomes, it's supposed to be about raising the necessary funds to operate the gov't.

I guess equality under law and equal treatment under law no longer apply.,.. .

In your opinion. Tax policy serves whatever purpose we decide it serves

 

[Big Bend Texas]

No they don't, what drives that economic growth are the people who actually produce things to be sold.

Can you cite that line of the constitution for us?

 

[Vegasgiants]

No they don't, what drives that economic growth are the people who actually produce things to be sold.

Not totally. We are mostly a service based economy now

 

[Vegasgiants]

Can you cite that line of the constitution for us?

Really? You want to play semantics?

 

[Big Bend Texas]

Not totally. We are mostly a service based economy now

Which is why real wages have been tanking for nearly three decades now with a 3 year blip under the previous administration.

It's also a big part of what drives inflation.

 

[Big Bend Texas]

I want you to support your claim.

That is not related to our service economy

 

[Big Bend Texas]

Yes it is because a service based economy doesn't create any wealth, it just circulates dollars that are taxed every time they go from one hand to the next.

 

[Vegasgiants]

I want you to support your claim.

I'll support yours

it's supposed to be about raising the necessary funds to operate the gov't. like single payer healthcare and other social programs

I dont see any evidence of that

Which are not cited as legitimate federal spending areas under the taxing and spending clause.

Then cite your scotus ruling that confirms that constitutional opinion

 

[Big Bend Texas]

I dont see any evidence of that

Of course you don't.

It's why we have to keep constantly printing money to keep the economy from collapsing.

If you have 10.00 and tax it at a ten percent rate how many times can you tax that same dollar before it is gone?

 

[Big Bend Texas]

Then cite your scotus ruling that confirms that constitutional opinion

Boy that's rich. You refuse to support your own claims and then demand I support mine with court decisions?

How wonderfully consistent.

You offered a constitutional opinion. I just asked to show me where scotus agrees with you

I can show you that Medicare exists and is presumed constitutional. Why has it not been overturned?

 

[Vegasgiants]

Of course you don't.

It's why we have to keep constantly printing money to keep the economy from collapsing.

I have been hearing about this since Reagan and the sky has not fallen yet. Lol
