A lot of western states put “progressive” bike-friendly “its-ok-to-run-the-stop-signs” laws on the books.   This is the kind of crap you get.

One thing that should have happened years ago is to eliminate the cap on SocSec contributions... the rich can help keep that system afloat.

Well that’s the CNN narrative... but... You really think people can’t simply look at a tax table and see that’s false?

And, if you raise the corporate tax bracket back up?

Not if the topic is income tax structure.

Oh, we’re in vehement agreement— but the Blue States are just the worst in this regard aren’t they? Terribly regressive taxes... and nobody has a word to say? Strange.

I’m trying to articulate that the “income tax structure” is already highly progressive— whether you agree or not is irrelevant. the math is what it is.

Hey, I didn’t put some of the insanely regressive taxes in place— and the most horrific of those tax structures tend to be in Dem states. IE the people that “say they care” are also the ones most likely to impose a 10% “sales tax” on groceries, a 75 cent per gallon gas tax on the fuel an hourly worker needs to get to…

You seem hell-bent on proving you don’t know how the global taxation framework functions-- is that correct?

And yet, actual economic data shows that the Reagan Revolution set the stage for 25 years of solid growth and prosperity.  That’s why Americans love Ronnie.

Keep in mind that California isn’t really part of America— and we don’t really want them in the union. If this election gets ugly we’ll happily “trade up” to Puerto Rico and Pelosi/DiFi/Newsom can merge with Venezuela.

Nice chart, but it’s bullshit. The GAO (I posted the link summary above) shows that the lowest tier (below $50k) pays only 6.4%. Not 25%, like your Antifa-funded chart shows.

I don’t doubt that you’re sincere in wanting to break the tax code again— and I”m sure in a vacuum it makes sense...

Oh, that’s another good point. But the reality remains that the Dems “went it alone” and fucked it up pretty good.... I find it hilarious that the first Dem Debates had about 22 people up on stage claiming “We are the party that proudly busted the shit out of US healthcare— and we recognize what a shambles it is…

I think the core here is anger at Jeff Bezos and the super-high wealth accumulators.

I figure you eeediots will be stunned to learn that “the Swedish system” you think is so great actually taxes even the lower 50% income earners at 32%. So your rates go from nothing to 32%... is that really what you want?

Well, THIS, is a great point:

Your exploitation of these incidents to aggrandize yourself pretty much tells the story as to who’s got a racist agenda here.

What did Ralph Lauren do to you?

Classy.
