I enjoy living in the real world with realistic expectations. Spouting pie in the sky bullshit that has no chance of being implemented bc of hilariously high cost isn’t realistic no matter how much i’d want it all to be passed.

wow. so real life is just like the comments section at gawker. yay. 

ok fine. Then why the fuck didn’t she say that? It sure as hell isn’t my responsibility to tell America how it is going to be paid for. its hers.

are you aware of the costs of what she is proposing. The rich only have so much. This plan eclipses all of it. So, now what? 

You are fully aware that her green new deal is significantly more than just medicare for all, right?

Are you aware of how much $40 Trillion is? Bc it’s a lot. 

Raising taxes on only the ultra wealthy WILL NOT FUND WHAT SHE WANTS. She has not put forth any real idea on how it will be paid for.

Hot Take: Because she DOESN’T actually have a plan to come up with the 40 fucking trillion dollars her plan will cost over 10 years. 

It’s worse, bc you’ve already counted the top 10% of earners in your $3.6T. Those 10% pay 2/3rds of all income taxes. How do you drastically increase taxes on 90% of the people who pay little to no income taxes? They honestly can’t afford it.

I wish she would have answered the question then. Saying the rich will pay for it is not a real answer. 

That’s bc its true and AOCs proposals will cost trillions. You could confiscate every dollar from the rich and not have enough to pay for what she wants. 

That’s fine. But this Green New deal is not going to be paid for by rich people being taxed at 70%. Sure, some of it will but what AOC is pushing will cost literal trillions of dollars.

Of those people that are ready, how many of them are from the 60M that voted for trump?

BC thats what the green new deal is and that’s what AOC is advocating for and what the topic of discussion is about???

factor in depreciation and you’ll be way ahead long term. 

Fine, but then dividends have to be deductible to the company then. 

you’re aware that this green new deal is MUCH more than just medicaid for all, right?

AOC only puts forth taxes on the rich. What she is suggesting will costs literal trillions of dollars. the rich aren’t paying for it, even if we confiscated everything.

You’re exactly whats wrong with finance education in this country. You don’t understand the absolute most basic way taxes are applied.

I’m not sure anyone is making $1b in annual taxable income.
