It will kill the economy and will reduce Federal revenue drastically.

45 percent of Americans have no idea what “percent” means.

Impoverish the Democrat rich. Hoist them on their socialist petard.

I’ve no interest in defending them. What’s the upside?

“Women support the idea by a 62-38 percent margin.”

And yes, the 19th amendment will haunt us till the end.

Kinda makes sense. Like when 3 wolves and a rabbit vote on dinner.

Taxes on income were unconstitutional, at least for a while.

That’s what the Bill of Rights was about. Certain concepts are never to be put to a vote. Too many stupid people out there, and leftists are manufacturing or importing more all the time.

Would that include those rich Hollyweird folks? I remember that scene in My Man Godfrey where the daughter complained about a 60% tax - this was in 1936 where FDR put the US into a double Depression because of it.

Like Tucker keeps saying, we’re a democracy. What the majority wants they should get. /bonghit

They’re Democrats. Time for them to pay their fair share.

It will kill the economy and hurt everybody. It will reduce revenue also.

I want the names of the people who voted for it because they’re thieves. It’s in the public interest.

[A] new poll released Tuesday indicates that an additional heap of bullshit is about to be defecated by Big Media.

Fantastic Idea … run on that in 2020 platform in 2020 in every house and senate race, as well as the President. The blood would be up to a horse’s brindle.

I’m ok with that as long as the 50% that aren’t paying any tax at all now pay their fair share as well say 10% minimum tax.

Looters will always look to eat Builders, until there’s nothing left for them to cannibalize but themselves.

Insane species, these humans . . .

Electing a Democrat is like throwing a web blanket on a fire.
