"Oh, I can support folks at the top paying their fair share,"

The top 10% of income earners already pay 72% of total income tax receipts. WTF do they think constitutes a "fair share"? How about the 51% who pay no taxes pay their fair share? To me, those 51% have no skin in the game, so they shouldn't be allowed to vote in Federal elections. Wonder how that would change their attitude. Indeed, how about a flat 17% income tax, no deductions for anyone, including members of Congress.

I know a family that employs around 500 people. What do commies like these 2 idiots think would happen to those jobs if the owners of that business were taxed at 90%?? And this woman Alexandria Cortez supposedly has a degree in economics? And they graduated her?

Criminals and the permanent gimme class (same thing) would still pay nothing in taxes.

The only way to ensure that truly everyone has skin in the game, is to replace the income tax with a national sales tax.
