All the millionaires will do is move income into stock options or turn income into bonuses.
True!
It should be voluntary. Of course, all the liberals would jump right in. Bezos, zuckerberg, soros, steyer. That right there would build a nice wall.
Government does not make money. It steals it.
“They do not just forget the cultural social leanings they were raised with, rather desire to install those in our country to change our country into the very failed systems they come from. “
Bingo. That’s my opinion as well, and I’ve been paying attention to them for a long time while watching California be transformed.
People who think that this state was transformed because of illegal aliens from Mexico are missing the much greater impact of mass legal immigration from the 3rd world.
The legals all vote. Illegal aliens, not so much. They both vote left.
You forgot your sarcasm tag.
I’m waiting for Warren Buffet to embrace this. Or Bill Gates, Tom Steyer, Larry Ellison, and all the other billionaires who are always preening and pledging that they want higher taxes.
Someone needs to put a microphone to these guys and ask them to pledge their financial assistance to get this done, not just phony lip service, real hard financial backing to push for this.
Whatever you say, Comrade.
The left is pure scum. The do nothing GOP is floating on it.
Who cares what this air head twit thinks?
Personally, I’m getting tired or Republicans defending the super-rich. What do we get back? Answer:. A bunch of super rich Trump haters demanding open borders. As far as I’m concerned they can go been the Democrats for low taxes.
Screw them. Let them beg the Democrats for low taxes.
This is all a scam. The ultra wealthy do not have income the way ordinary workers and business owners do. How about they introduce a wealth tax instead and watch people like Warren Buffett squeal.
I looked at the comments at The Hill, and it is scary how ignorant and covetous people are. Wow.
Like-minded members, Ms Pressley? You do mean Socialists or do you mean Communists? I know you don’t mean Capitalists!!
Progressive taxation is equal treatment under the law. ..... Nope, it is not.
A single tax rate is equal treatment. “Progressive” taxation is the most regressive and anti-growth form of taxation that exists.
I never said that equal treatment under the law was required. In recognition of that fact, I recommended that the GOP offer a constitutional amendment to effect that change. More theater to counter the DEM theater.
In reality, I would prefer representative apportionment. Taxes are based on prior year spend, divided down to a per Senator and per representative amount. Each state is then taxed for their senators and representatives. States get to decide for themselves how they will collect taxes to meet their obligation. States are prohibited from paying salaries of their elected officials until that federal obligation has been paid. That would also require a constitutional change.
If a state wants to tax one group of citizens at a punitive tax rate, they can do so. Others states might tax land ownership, or corporations, or trusts or sales or something else. Each state gets to tax what works for them.
However, the power to tax is the power to destroy. Tax one thing to heavily and that one thing will leave that state.
Taking economic advice from the ignorant AOC makes about as much sensense as listening to the Parkland kids about gun-control. If you don’t know the basic facts the chances of drawing logical conclusions are pretty remote.
Google search says Jayapal, my congresscritter, has a net worth of 2.5 million. Her only jobs listed on Wiki are as a “political activist” and congresscritter.
She has become a multimillionaire while producing nothing but pro-open borders policies. She is as corrupt as they come, a total hypocrite and a “rising star” in the Dem party.
She is an Trojan horse, worse than an enemy from outside.
