    Default Time to tax the wealthy big time.

    Biden's tax the wealthy concept is about time and him telling this country the truth about the trickle down lie is wonderful. With his tax program Just the fat of our country will pay and I hope they ring them up big time to compensate for the free ride that the trickle down lie gave them over the last 40+ years. Trickle down was created to have all the new wealth of this country, go into the hands of the wealthy and since that time all new wealth went to the golden few , which in no way can be argued. SO it's simple, for the next 40+ years everyone else other then the golden few will gain all the new wealth of this country , distributed at the same level and rate as it is now distributed to the golden few . Can anyone even come up with a argument against this reasoning. Seems more then fair to me.

    So,.....do you REALLY believe that all the big corporations who not only shilled for Biden and the Democrats but also donated a war chest of cash did that so their money would be taken away from them? I mean REALLY? You really believe Joe Billionaire said ....." Here Democrats,...take this campaign donation so you can win and then tax the fuck out of me because I like having way LESS money!"

    People paying very high taxes have traditionally been people doing pretty damned well in this country.

    I find it amusing that shitkickers who are being asked to pay next to nothing are the first to worry about the tax burden of billionaire oligarchs.
    Pathetically amusing, however.

    Hey

    Your figuring it out huh


    Republicans are the corporate whores


    Sometimes the corporations want to rebuild the economy they and the republicans raped



    So then they give to the Democrats who then tax them to fix everything the republicans fucked up (lying us to wars, crashing the housing market, crashing the energy market, lying about a pandemic) and then there is an economy for the republicans can crash again


    The oligarchs love a boom and bust economy


    They make bank in a falling or rising economy

    Us citizens just get screwed


    If we never let the republicans back in we can end this cycle

    Intelligent corporate managers, as opposed to wingnut oligarchs, look beyond the short term.

    Spending money on infrastructure and putting disposable income into the hands of the working class combine to improve their bottom line on a long term basis.
    This isn't complicated stuff, Dumber than.

    Chuck Heston wearing a MAGA cap that was designed after he died is a good look for impressing us with your intelligence, Dumber than.

    I shouldnt have to explain this BUT.......People donate their time and MONEY to political campaigns in an attempt to secure the things they want from the elected official. Pretty sure these Billionaires who spent a lifetime lusting after as much money as humanly possible do not have a goal in mind of being able to keep less of their money. This should be common sense for most people,.... sad that it isnt.

    The right wants to go back to the 1950s


    That was the result of the new deal


    The corporate taxes were in the 50% range back then
