    Soaking the rich is just good economics.

    do you even hear your own dumbass?

    We had a top tax rate that ranged from 70% - 94% between 1946-1981 and saw the longest period of economic expansion and prosperity.

    Fact is that there has never, ever, ever been a case of Conservative economics responsibly growing an economy.

    Never, not once.

    Great
    I love it when I work 60-70 weeks to earn more money for my family only for the government to take it so they can piss it away.
    I love working hard for more money so we can share my wealth with some lazy ass who feels the government should pay for their food, apartment, college, and medical while they sit at home.

    There are only 52 weeks in a year.

    Do you mean work 60-70 hours? Well, do you understand how the progressive tax system works? You don't pay 70% on all your income, just 70% on income over $10M.

    You either know how the progressive tax brackets work and are engaging in sophistry, or you don't know and are acting stupidly.

    No one believes that you, personally, have a job.

    Most people who use government assistance programs are employed in jobs where their employer pays them a wage low enough that they qualify for benefits.

    The simple solution is to just pay workers enough that they don't qualify for benefits. But you oppose that, so your argument is basically just masturbation.
