What isn't fair is that all the income gains the last 40 years went to the top 1%, who saw their marginal rates get cut. You all said, over and over and over, that if we let the rich "keep more of what they earned", it would trickle down.
It didn't. So you either lied, bullshitted us, or just had no fucking clue what you were saying.
So which is it? Are you a liar, a bullshitter, or an ignoramus?
So since they took 100% of the income gains, it's only fair they pay 100% of the tax burden.
And the thing is, I'm not even calling for them to pay 100% of the tax burden. All I'm calling for is for them to pay a higher rate on some of their income.
That's fair.
What's not fair is raising your own income by taking it from others and then not paying taxes on it.
