59% support AOC's plan to raise top bracket to 70%

It is that anytime you ask people to demand the government take from others it is an easy yes.That is the point. But, if you asked them if they should be personally taxed at that rate....well you know the answer don't you Toby?

I don't mind paying a 70% rate on income over $10M.

Why do you? You'll never make $10M in your life.
 
Wrong.

Bush cut taxes in 2001, and revenue from 2001-2004 was less than revenue in 2000.

So history from the last 20 years proves you wrong.


You mean after the dot com crash when capital gains taxes weren't flowing in? You are such a shallow thinker Toby

It is no wonder your people allowed themselves to be enslaved all those years ago. More importantly it is why you allow yourself to be enslaved to the democrat party plantation. The shackles are not real, but they are no less constricting on you Toby

Neither will you which is why it is easy for you to say.

Yes, you are correct, it is highly unlikely that I will ever make $10 million a year.

As to earning $10 million over my lifetime? Well, that has already been accomplished Toby. Over a lifetime, that isn't very much money when you think about it. If you start working at 21 and work until you are 65 that averages out to a little over $200,000 a year. Easily doable Toby. Well, maybe not for you. But for me and my white privilege? EZ PZ
 
What you claim is not true

It's entirely true that Obama let the Bush Tax Cuts for the wealthy expire at the end of 2012.

Very, very true.

Federal Receipt and Outlay Summary
Deficit (in billions):

2012: -$1,087
2013: -$679

Kill yourself.

I'm totally serious about it too.

Kill yourself. There is nothing of value you contribute to this discussion. You cannot make an honest argument. You simply lie because you don't know how to tell the truth anymore.

You have lied so much and so often that your brain isn't wired to discern what it truthful and what isn't. It's a mental illness.
 
That is a great point. Every single Trump hating leftist on JPP had a fit about Trump eliminating SALT deductions which primarily hit the richest among us. Why is that? Here is their chance to have the "rich" pay more in taxes and the leftist cry.

The reality is that it is a bogus poll in that, if you ask anyone a question about something where someone else has to bear the burden almost always a majority will say yes.

Now if you asked them if the gobblement should take 70% of their income to help the poor, they would all say no.

Of course Toby isn't honest about AOCs claims. Her little tax scheme would raise very little revenue as all confiscation schemes do

94% of people who pay taxes will get a tax cut under Trump, but the democrats will still proclaim that it was only for the top 1% and their "balloon the deficit" concerns are code for "welfare people and earned income creditors who don't pay taxes didn't get to take even more so its bad"

You are presenting deficit numbers, not revenue numbers Toby. Why are you being dishonest? Or do you not understand the difference? You don't do you?

Your understanding of basic economics is very limited Toby

The fundamental thing to understand about leftists and big gobblement types is that they believe that ALL income is the property of the federal gobblement and that it is the gobblements job to DISTRIBUTE that income.

As a classical liberal, I believe in individual liberty and economic freedom. The federal gobblement should tax only so much as to fund essential activities. National defense, the courts etc.

Everything else like agriculture, healthcare, education, commerce, energy....all of it can go
 
You mean after the dot com crash when capital gains taxes weren't flowing in?

The dotcom market collapsed in 2000, not 2001. And the recession that started two months into Bush's term was so weak that GDP growth for 2001 was still positive.

So you can't use that as an excuse since GDP still grew in 2001, even with 9/11 and a recession.

Furthermore, it was Capital Gains Tax Cuts that caused the dotcom bubble to appear.

So now, on top of tax cuts being pointless and useless fiscal policy, they are also responsible for market bubbles. Not just the dotcom bubble, but the housing bubble too:

Bush Ties Policy to Record Home Ownership
3/26/04
Touting his tax cuts as the economy's savior — and pointing to the strong housing market as proof — Bush said "more people own their own home now than ever." More than 50 percent of minorities owned their own homes in the last three months of 2003 for the first time ever, the president said.

Then only slave here is you to your poor choices and bad judgment.

So you are blaming Bill Clinton for the DotCom bubble?
 
Neither will you which is why it is easy for you to say.

Exactly, so what the fuck do I care if some rich person has to pay 70% on income over $10M?


Yes, you are correct, it is highly unlikely that I will ever make $10 million a year.

So then why do you care if some rich person pays 70% on income over $10M?


As to earning $10 million over my lifetime? Well, that has already been accomplished Toby.

Turn up the sound for this one:

 
Then only slave here is you to your poor choices and bad judgment.

No Toby. I make great choices. It is why I am so much happier than you. You are a miserable race hustling slob who will never be happy. You don't understand wealth creation. You don't understand economics. All you understand is hatred and resentment. You are my play thing Toby

BTW. Here is what you said

Back in 2012, when Obama let the Bush Tax Cuts expire on the wealthy, every single Conservative predicted it would lead to lower revenue.

Instead, tax revenue grew by $400B.

You said revenue and when asked to back up your claims, you present deficit numbers.
