    that 90% marginal rate for the wealthy back in Eisenhower's time sure built a great national highway system and modern infrastructure for the entire country

    too bad the wealthy now pay income tax at a lower rate than the working class, oh well who needs all that shit anyway?

    Get over your wealth envy and stop expectong government to be your sugardaddy.
    Total straw man argument here: no one is calling for a 100% tax rate on the rich.

    Is your mind so small and your thinking so binary that the only two options are the current rates or 100%?

    Isn't it possible that there exists a rate between that maximizes revenue while not stifling growth? You know, like we had during the 50's and 60's?

    Your entire governing economic ideology makes no fucking sense.

    No rich person has ever hired someone just because.

    Two fucking things about this:

    1. You're deliberately spiking the debate by constructing straw men arguments because you don't want to reconcile that your governing economic and fiscal ideology is a load of crap you've only gleaned off equally inept message board posters.

    2. Taxing the rich to pay for infrastructure, universal health care, and free public colleges solves a lot of problems for the middle class.

    Stop Dunning-Kruger-ing your way through a debate.

    You look like an idiot.

    Also, no one believes your posturing.

    Guess what?

    THAT'S WHAT THEY DID THIS PAST NOVEMBER.

    Your Russia Tax Cut failed to deliver on all the promises you made of it.

    That's because the ideology behind the tax cuts is, was, and always will be a crock of shit that simple-minded idiots got conned into believing.

    You got conned because you are an easy mark.

    You're the kind of person who buys a time-share.

    You're the kind of person who has this amazing skin-care product you pitch to all your old HS classmates on Facebook.

    You're the kind of person who would take the yearly payouts instead of the lump-sum if you won Mega Millions.

    You're the kind of person who leases a car.

    Assholes like you are willing to let some people go without food, clothing, shelter, education and healthcare...so that the very wealthy can become even wealthier.

    The richest 1% now owns more than 50% of all the wealth in the world.

    When will fucking morons like you finally realize something has to be done...

    ...when the richest .01% own 90% if the wealth of the world?




    PS

    I don’t give a shit what you think of my writing on a message board
    So you say.

    Personally I think you are unable to write a coherent, logical comment.

    I love the Reich wing direction america is headed in. Societies with this level of wealth disparity eventually wind up as police states or in revolt.

    Think tank legislation like "Obama"care at the Heritage Foundation for example; a lovely socialist redistribution program rewarding pharma and the insurance industry.
