    Neither is democracy. Like many of the Cultists and other RW whackjobs, pEarl has been indoctrinated to believe that if we tax the uber wealthy fairly, they'll take all their toys and run away. He also falsely believes the b.s. that if only you work hard enough, you too can be a Warren Buffet or a Jeff Bezos.

    And THAT is how the SO NEEDED $3.5 Trillion economic plan gets paid for.

    Stop protecting the billionaires.

    Believe me. They do not need your help. They will be just fine.

    And we SO need this.
    AOC never gets anything right.

    First, let's examine the idea that you can increase spending $3.5 trillion and not have costs associated with it. How is that even possible? The statement itself, other than being a massive lie, is asinine on it's merits. These people aren't merely liars, they are corrupt dishonest anti-American criminals.

    Secondly, some simple math attached to this. According to the IRS, the number of returns were 143,295,160 in 2020. 61% of those tax returns had ZERO tax liability. That suggests that 55,885,112 Americans are carrying the burden of this bloated Federal bureaucracy.

    $3.5 trillion, which will actually be $5 trillion when the dust settles, divided by 55,885,112 is $62,628,486 MILLION, that's right, MILLION for every tax payer. The notion that there is no cost can only be expressed by morons, liars or outright criminally insane. If we look at the actual costs, somewhere around $5 trillion, the number for each tax paying American becomes $89,818,207.

    Let these numbers sink in for a moment. It is unfathomable that we have a political party in this country throwing around trillions as if it were a mere number and claiming there is no cost associated with it. Mind numbing lame and stupid.

    Occupy was a massive failure. Have you been asleep these last decades? Rip Van Dumbass? Why do leftists hate America. Is it because they are too stupid to make it in a society that requires hard work and education?

    How is the current system fair when more than 45% of those in it pay NOTHING while the vast majority of taxes are paid by 2% of the population. uneducated idiots on the left have no clue what that term means.

    FAIR would be EVERYONE who earns money pay into the system. You know, like the rest of socialized Europe and Canada.

    For sh*ts and giggles, if we take a step back there is a certain level of political irony here. Stating the obvious, not all progressives are rich and not all conservatives are poor. But as some are fond of saying, the most wealth in this country exists in progressive voting areas. So progressives are saying we should tax ourselves more to be able to redistribute to the poor, less educated, democracy hating deplorables (many of whom we want to die and we want to separate from so we don't need to live near you).

    An element of humor from that perspective.
