Posting this for all of the AOC scoffers out there. Read it and weep. And I do mean, weep.

Far more of our fellow countrymen buy into this BS than we here at FR want to admit. We're a nation of economic illiterates.

No scoffer here. I know that we watched as young Americans were indoctrinated en masse.

I’ve been on the side that sees AOC as an incredible danger.

The socialists have won. We don’t even know we’re dead yet.

This is a perfect example of why we don't have a pure democracy

It's bad enough that within the next few decades every politician will have a last name that ends with a Z (like in california)

If true, our days are numbered. Personally, I find it very hard to believe. There are a lot of brain-dead stupid people out there, but Trump would have never been elected if those numbers were correct.

Notice that they’re talking about an income tax, NOT a wealth tax....

Anyone making that kind of money will possess the know how and resources to avoid it.

Plus, it will depend what the next rate below it is. Does it stay at 39% or whatever it is now? If so, who in their right mind would make over $9,999,999? what is “income”? Gross, Adjusted, Taxable? From all sources or just wages? Most people at that level aren’t making the majority of their income from wages. (See Romney)

It’ll never work.

It is oh so easy to get ignorant people to believe lies.

Marxists have been doing it effectively for more than 100 years.

I thought we settled this last week. A "poll" of 1200 possible voters doesn't speak for all 250+ million of us. 👍🏼👹💸

a sizable majority of registered voters, 59 percent, supports the concept.

Maybe registered voters but are they tax payers as well? I doubt it.

Not too surprising, when nearly half of adults pay no income taxes at all, and less than 1% are in the top tax bracket. That’s the problem with democracy.

Then a majority of Americans better develop a taste for cat because that’s what they’re eating in the socialist utopia of Venezuela.

What do you all a cat in Venezuela?

Speedy.

Couldn’t we get more revenue by raising it to 170%? No guts, no glory, right?
