Hypocrite.  Same thing you accuse me of with indentured servitude you do with wanting our leaders to coalesce power.

I would never want you to care.  I am a big boy.  They come for me, I can handle it.

 

Sorry Snowflake, try again.

  Sometimes what was old is new again.  AOC and her brand might just make it legal to jail you for reasons beyond just tax evasion.  

Baloney.

Theft of service = tax evasion.  Not racking up debt.

By implying I have TDS.

 

Can t speak out against demagoguery?  That (not speaking out) leads to power grabs.

At least We are getting somewhere.  This I can respect.  It's immoral and selfish, but I can at least respect you for admitting your deplorable behaviors.

are you saying that your previous post about installing a king was not in any way referenced to Trump? do i have to go find the post where you spoke of this?

 

sure, you can speak out against demagoguery i encourage it. however it usually works better if the base upon which one stands is not built upon a demagoguery.

Nice. Who would thought the Basket of Deplorables would whine to this song.  So Snowflake-esque.

 

Play that for the NFL players is like playing that for the Average American.  LoL...

 

Trust the Process©.

No.  You seem to want one person calling the shots.  That's how Trump operates.  That's not TDS on my part.  That's being Anti-American on your part.

Krugman's right. 70% tax rate is fine, because absolutely nothing in the world economy has changed since 1945. This will all be fine. Nothing bad would come of it.

 

I mean hell, at one point in the 50's, the tax rate for the top earners was 98%! It worked back then, there's absolutely no reason to think it wouldn't work now. Because the world economy is exactly the same!

"But what does Ocasio-Cortez know about tax policy? “A lot,” said the headline of an opinion piece Saturday in The New York Times by Nobel economics laureate Paul Krugman. A similar tax rate was imposed in the U.S. for 35 years after World War II, which included some of the “most successful periods of economic growth in history,” Krugman wrote.

Tax cuts for the ultra wealthy mean far less to them than cuts for people with modest incomes, Krugman noted. And extra money in millions of hands boosts spending.

“A policy that makes the rich a bit poorer will affect only a handful of people, and will barely affect their life satisfaction, since they will still be able to buy whatever they want,” Krugman wrote"

 

 

Krugman's MAGA plan.

oh boy. i don't think you understand that which you speak of. not really surprising considering the voluminous display of your underpinnings down here. 

 

an anarchist advocates for the classless, self-governed societies based on voluntary, cooperative institutions, rejecting unjust hierarchy. or perhaps something you might better understand, free associations. but other than that... yeah it's pretty immoral and selfish.

 

idiot.

again, with all due respect....

That is absurd, and profoundly anti-western/American. 

 

Individual thinking is the cornerstone for any progress. Putting a cap on it is regressive.

He has over 38k posts in his tenure here. If you add up the total IQ points in all of those posts combined, you're still well below triple digits. 

 

He's not a deep thinker. He's not even a thinker. He vomits words onto the keyboard and pretends he's trolling when he gets called out for his nonsense.

The old federal tax rates that began to be fixed by JFK and further fixed by Reagan were tempered in a huge way by a bunch of tax write-offs. The middle class didn't have high tax rates but the very wealthy had tax rates of up to 90%. They found a way around these rates by buying into income losing schemes that enabled them to reduce their income (on paper) to get their tax rates down. Comparing 1950's tax rates with today's tax rates is like comparing an Edsel to an I-Phone.

  And in the process to gain assets.  A number of farms for quite a number of years until they changed the tax laws were run at a loss but gained expensive assets along the way in buildings and equipment.  

 

  Improvements were made to land including contouring and drainage that could be depreciated and the net result was the increase of land value.

Sure...90% tax rates worked fine when the US had no international manufacturing competition and generated half the post-war world's GDP while supporting other major economies via the Marshall Plan.  I'm sure it'll work just fine now when we're 15% of the world GDP while running annual half-trillion dollar trade deficits.

 

How the ***** did Krugman ever win a Nobel Prize?
