What I fear is that xongsmiths war cry of taxing the rich is aimed at this middle class rather than at Bezos, Musk, or Buffet.
WTF are you talking about? I am in the >=$400,000 camp. That is my current aim.
I feel so insulted!!!
It's like you don't read anything I write. Wait...maybe...
Did you mean that the GOP will block the Democrats from doing this and succeed?
That enough Dems will back away and join the vicious sadist GOP, including me?
Take Mark 9k's assinine comments, regarding his math. Sure - taxing the rich wont end the debt overnight,
but 40 years of it will take a big satisfactory bite. It really galls me that Musk and Bezos pay less in taxes
than your average school teacher.
Ever since Reagan fucked things over for the common citizen over 40 years ago we have heard bullshit after bullshit
about everything from drag queens & banning books & border control to trickle-down from the GOP,
taking our attention away from the biggest wealth hoarding in history.
Flip the Trump tax cuts to end the rich cuts and put back the expired working class cuts. Good place to start.
Then a wealth tax, like Warren's plan. Then Biden's >400K plan and so on, gradually get the country back
to the FDR-Eisenhower levels.
Vote BLUE BLUE BLUE until this insane sadistic, cruel fascist GOP is DEAD DEAD DEAD. Then the Democrats can
safely split up into their sub-parties, us old lefties, the new prograssives, liberals, conservatives and old conservatives.

Re: Tax The RichTax The Working Class(?!!)
Phat misses again with:
I have a friend...
Yeah, and he wouldn't be affected. So what?
BTW I wouldn't mind paying more either, if I could direct it into a
government appropriation of my choice, like the Dept. of Education.
This is also getting perilously close to "I have a Black friend..."

Re: Tax The RichTax The Working Class(?!!)
Marc9K barfs out:
"Start", "so on", "gradually" easy to see that many tax-the-rich advocates aren't satisfied with current proposals of taxing only those making $400,000 per year or more, they want to see gradual increases in the future that will include those making less than that, as well as assets that two other posters here deny could be threatened with new taxes.
FUCK YOU! I never advocated raising taxes on those under $400K!!!
You shit-for-brains idiot. Gradually increasing the Biden rates up to the Eisenhower 50+ % rates for those over 1 million incomes. Maybe my tongue-in-cheek public firing-squad execution on LIVE TV of those over 2 Billion was sarcasm that went over your tiny head..
Nothing increases for those under 400K.

Re: Above Down Inside Out
it's Totalitarianism vs. Libertarianism.
of cource communism and fascism are close to the bottom of the clock face - one from the left side and the other from the right. This is not saying that we should strive up to 12:00 noon (anarchy, Libertarianism, no restrictions), as we need regulations.
Now, give the "anarchist" a cigarette...

Re: In Brief:
Phat at the end asks:
And as for the Anarchist with the cigarette?
oh, that's just the last line Bob Dylan says at the end of "Dont Look Back", a documentary by Pennebaker.
His agent Albert Grossman and Bob Neuwirth are discussing the articles in the papers in their crowded
backseat and they announce that according to the papers, he's an anarchist. They argue that the Communists
aren't held in disfavor in England, so the papers had to come up with something else. Viola' ==> the Anarchist!
Then the Anarchist asks for the cigarette as they continue on through the streets of London.

Re: In Brief:
Phat includes this comment:
we don't need to pay a guy tax money to study Dragonflies
BULLFUCKINGSHIT!
You don't have the education to even make such a comment!
You just accept what you're told here. Sit back down in your MTG chair.
Ignorance is ruining the country!
The NSF decides how they want to divide the tiny funds set aside for science - but even they are corruptible.

Re: Fascism is here
Exhibit A on why parents should have NO say in what teachers are teaching in the public schools. That school parent should be put in stocks for public humiliation.

Re: Fascism is here
Poor Phat. Cannot understand. Maybe someday he might, but it's getting late for that.
where's the DOWN vote button we used to have?
maybe it's just as well it was taken off the board.
