So there are actually people out there that honestly believe that the wealthy including big corporations donate money to one of the old Ho's super PACs because THEY WANT to be taxed more? Lemme get this straight........ it goes something like this.........." Here Kamala Please take this large sum of money thru your pac in the hopes you win this election. Furthermore honey,....once in we would really like it if you were able to levy large tax increases on us so we have less money" I mean really,....you dopes actually believe that? I mean,....you actually think that is logical or anywhere close to reality? :laugh:
Why cant you understand that you can raise the tax burden to 99% but by leaving all the loopholes in you have done NOTHING besides throwing a little red meat to the most illiterate of the base who have never paid taxes in their lives?
 
Democrats= the party of the working class :rolleyes2: Odd how the Billionaire class keeps funding them election cycle after election cycle. :thinking:

Yes and no. The educated lefties with money do as you say, they spread the lies because they like how things are. Life is good for them and they don't want to upset the apple cart. Different story for the low end street level lefties. They are ignorant to how things REALLY work and they too spread the lies but spread them out of ignorance and stupidity.

This goes all the way back to Clinton and the neolibs who wanted in on some of that billionaire donor money. Democrats now get almost twice the war machine money as republicans. That's why I don't get why so many republican support these Wall Street wars.
 
Don't be sqauwking doormats for the 1% or are you really this ignorant? Why do you think BOTH parties are against true progressives and third party alternatives?

12 out of the last 16 years have been led by democrat Presidents. WHY haven't they leveled the playing field in all that time? WHY haven't they made the rich " pay their fair share" as they say? WHY? Is it because the last two Democrat Presidents were impotent and stupid or is it because that was never their aim in the first place?

Rightys are so certain of what is absolutely wrong. The wealth gap in America just gets wider and wider. Money= power. https://inequality.org/facts/wealth-inequality/
Trump jacked the gap up bigly and he made it clear, it will accelerate if he gets back in.

I mean, the trend is pretty clear, and relentless. But the right will continue to defend the idea of the 1% amassing even more of the nation's wealth while the vast majority of Americans struggle to keep up.

The richest Americans have to be cracking up.

You know that Congress plays a big role in things, right?

Of course. WHY haven't the Democrats in Congress done what they say they wanted to when they had the chances? Stupid? Corrupt? Which is it?

Who knows? I don't talk to them.

But regardless, "tax the rich" isn't exactly the dumbest idea in the world. That was the premise of your thread.

You appear to share the same economic knowledge as your cult brethren. Unless you are a totally transactional business person, the wealth gap is bad for business. When you invest you have less money until there is a return on your investment. If I am a rich guy with billions in the bank it makes sense to put those billions in the hands of consumers who will buy my goods. I’m wealthy and would be happy to see an increase in long term capital gains rates if the country is investing in putting people to work with that money. Because….wait for it… they will BUY SHIT that increases the profits of the companies I own stick in. Your question is simplistic. So I assume you are either trolling or you failed Econ 101. Either way, you have your answer. Feel free to post a rebuttal.
