Weeks after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., made headlines by calling for a top marginal income tax rate of 70 percent in an interview with 60 Minutes, her fellow freshman congresswoman, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., suggested that the rich could pay even more.
There are a few things that we can do, Rep. Omar said in an interview with Through Her Eyes. One of them, is that we can increase the taxes that people are paying who are the extremely wealthy in our communities. So, 70 percent, 80 percent, weve had it as high as 90 percent. So, thats a place we can start.
The one percent must pay their fair share, she continued.

of course, polygamists and politicians
and women who marry their brothers will
be rigorously excluded.
Lol....when it was 90% no one paid ...
I call for a ban on muslims in Congress.
They cannot sincerely swear an oath to the Constitution.
It’s against their religion.
You dont make the poor richer by making the rich poorer Winston Churchill.
Indeed democrats pimp another scam to drive money off shore one step closer to socialism fail.
Get the muslims out of America. Throw ‘em over the f@#%ing wall.
Where doss the liberal talking point come from, that the rich aren’t paying their fair share?
If something is following our tax laws, filing accurate tax returns, and paying the required tax, aren’t they by definition paying their fair share??
As it is, about 85% of individual income taxes are paid by the top 20% of all taxpayers. Almost half of all workers in this country pay no federal income tax at all.
And in high tax California, about 1/3 of all state income tax is paid by about 10,000 high income individuals, in a state of almost 40 million people.
We have a progressive income tax system, which reflects the liberal desire to tax higher income individuals at higher marginal tax rates. So what more do they want???
Is this the nasty bitch who said all that crap about those catholic kids who were harassed by the stolen valor bum with the drum?
Fair share? Huh?
Coming from a never held a job import and Occasional Tooth Decay.. that is ‘rich’.. in irony.
Who is “we” Kemosabe?
When tax rates were 90 per cent there were a gazillion deductions. Those are all long gone.
The important thing whenever listening to an idiot try to make a case for something, what they leave out is usually just as important or more, than what they include. I doubt she’s more than dimly aware of any of this, she has been instructed what to say and that’s about it.
...is laughing as I consider what would happen to this wrapped booby prize if she made such a demand of the kings and warlords that rule her country of origen. They would cut off her tongue and then her head.
Here’s a law to consider: if you will not put your hand on OUR Bible and swear to PROTECT AND DEFEND OUR Constitution, then you don’t go to Congress. You don’t belong there.
This is why we MUST shut down the leftist billionaires attempting to stifle the TRUTH.
Only braindead democrats believe somebody with the ability to earn enormous money will work to earn a dollar in order to receive only 10 cents.
Why are we bringing these Somalians over here anyway? They are completely incompatible with our country. Did GHWB lose a bet with Somalia’s President or something.
If the government takes 90%, let’s say the state takes 3%, the city takes 2%, the county takes 1%, that leaves 4 cents, more or less, on the dollar. Most people who pay taxes are already taxed in the 50 to 60%, when all is said and done, range and they are not even billionaires.
So what’s another 36% off the top? /s
She knows dang well the rich get around income taxes...
And she’s yet to propose a confiscatory wealth tax.
Note to Ilhan Omar: Talk is cheap, sweetie.
So what more do they want???
Should 5 percent appear too small
Be thankful I dont take it all
Thats what they want.
I think it’s time for a mandatory 3 day mental health hold for this nut case to determine if she’s fit to walk among normal people at all. She should probably be admitted permanently until they can cure here extreme mental illness. Some people just call it leftism but this one has a double dose; she’s a muzzie leftist so her mind is always confused. One second she wants to support homosexuals; the next she wants to drop them off a 4 story building. No wonder she is bat shat crazy.
Whats this we. She wasnt here then. Has no idea how destructive that tax rate was
