Their effective rate whatever it may be has them paying more of a share in taxes then they make in income.

What?

They make 21 percent of all income and pay 40 percent of taxes.

We would be doing much better if we the people:

Raised taxes on the wealthy and corporations.
Bring back sensible regulations that protect the economic markets, and the environment
Break up the monopolies
Promote and support Labor unions, which could help the lower/middle class.
Make higher education, trade schools, and medical care, more affordable and accessible to all.

This would not solve al of our ills, but it would make a positive difference overall.

I could support all of this if you could show me any politician who would actually put this into place. But you cant. All they do is make themselves richer, and further screw over the middle class.

You think I should trust some bimbo NY Bartender who says that I, who never made it to college, should pay her college debt when she makes more than I do? Let her pay her own college debt. She borrowed the money, I didnt.

At least the republicans leave me alone.

I hate them both equally.

They are all corrupt swine.

I shall agree to disagree.

I’ve never been a fan of the enlightened centrist approach. Democrats have their issues, but both parties are not the same.

Sounds fair…they should pay more.

These economic royalists are more loyal to their money, than their country.

@Guilds

Do you consider yourself part of the MAGA crowd?

Not at all. Trump lost me in early 2016 when he called Judge Curriel a mexican. That judge is a patriot.

Trump further angered me when he came up with that stupid plan not to allow evictions eventhough they were receiving more money from unemployment than they were working. But you cant evict so I’m not paying. That was the prevailing attitude.

But as much as I thought Trump was an arrogant, petty, disgusting pig, he was only 10,000 times better than the Biden family crime syndicate.

Don’t confuse high earners with the really wealthy, the very wealthy don’t generally pay income taxes, because they don’t derive their income from paychecks.

@zantax

They make 21 percent of all income and pay 40 percent of taxes.

If the 1% “don’t derive their income from paychecks,” how do you figure that they “make 21 percent of all income”?

[Guilds]

Ok…

The top one percent of income earners, not the top one percent of wealth, those are different categories. I know people making over 540k who have negative net worth.

@FlameHeart

This would be considered a troll thread under normal circumstances.

No. He’s just taking a round about way of criticizing Biden for calling pro Trump Republicans extremists, and personalizing it.

Dividends, interest, capital gains on the sale of assets.

@Guilds

Are you part of the MAGA crowd? (Extreme Trump supporter, that believe his lies, and the election was stolen)

I paid attention to way he governed…not so much what he said. He was extreme alright…extreme moderate. Right down the ■■■■■■■ middle.
Having said that Trump made things personal…anything else?

[WuWei]

@Guilds

@WuWei

Perhaps not, but they certainly govern that way.

Nope…that is your perception.

I’m pretty objective.

Revisionist history - a pillar of critting.

That’s precisely what Brandon said…and libs love him for it.

For the wealthiest one percent yes, not for the one percent of highest income earners.

[TheRedComet]

I’m not a centrist. I’m fairly ideological. I would say radical in certain matters, such as the right to bear arms and the right of the working proletariat to organize and fight for better working conditions.

I hate politicians in general. They sell out their voter bases to the highest bidder from the largest special interest company or group.

Put that on a shirt to sell @conan .

[conan]

He said Biden…can you read?

[FlameHeart]

I got it I got it. I had forgotten Biden had said that- recently. Quite frankly Biden still thinks he is trying to get into office so he panders to the ever-growin g polarized, extreme faction of his own party.

The issue is, Chlamydia will take Biden’s place and she is 100x worse. She is Communist.

@Guilds

MAGA crowds are angry, and angry at the status quo.

Have you seen how angry your tribe is? They’re burning down cities, threatening Supreme court justices.
