I apologize for not making myself clear. In post #115, you came up with all sorts of crap. But I didn't say what I usually say under such circumstances. I(n which I ask the poster to pick out the one single point I made that they think is the most wrong. The one they think they are most right about. Tell me what it is and why you think it is wrong. When I crush it, let that stand as an example of everything else you had to say. Even if things worked as you liked, I have no way of knowing what point I made that you think is the most wrong. Or which one you think you are the most right about. Only you can do that. If you refuse to do so, consider this discussion closed.

Of the wealthy who pay taxes, what can they buy with their leftover profits?

The wealthy buy a SHITLOAD of goods and services that are provided by low and moderate income earners. So go ahead and steal their wealth and crush average income America too. Good thinking. Matter of fact, if I was going to intentionally destroy the economy so I could rebuild it in some digital form, (I'm not suggesting anyone really wants to do that...:whome:) first thing I would do is go 95% tax on incomes over 1 million. Results should be quite swift.

Of course. Around 51,000 Americans are expected to die each year due to cuts in Medicaid alone. Anybody who supports that needed to eat a well aimed bullet really really really bad!

This is one of those bullshit statistics that's unprovable, but go ahead and try. Right now, you got nothing just making that claim without evidence.

Bingo! And the cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel Live proves my point.

Jimmy Kimmel, as I have demonstrated in several threads now, was going to get cancelled regardless. His viewership was down something like 70% and the show was losing money. His Charlie Kirk commentary just gave ABC management an excuse to do it earlier.

You should be having multiple orgasms! Like the Chinese Disease, these cuts you claim will kill off the elderly, who mostly vote Republican.

I doubt anyone believes what you claim. But if they did, would you place that bullet?

Why should you hate him? Well how about his giving trillions in tax breaks to the wealthy. While at the same time cutting trillions from Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, etc. etc. etc. As if the poor aren't poor enough. Also, the bottom 50% of Americans have around 4 trillion in wealth. While the top 50% of Americans have around 156 trillion in wealth. Obviously, "trickle down" doesn't work. He also cut funding for things like the CDC, NIH, EPA, Department of Education, etc. etc. etc.

If you support Trump, I have some short videos for you. Which I have URLs for.
But apparently this place is too crappy to accept pictures without a URL. Though you can at least watch the short videos. Not that I expect any of it to change your Trump supporting, delusional, brainwashed minds. But give it a shot anyway. If you have the guts.

IOW, you just wish to play games. Thankfully for you, I'm in a game playing mood today.

Regarding post #115, most of my response was just asking you to define the vague and largely meaningless terminology that you were using throughout your post (e.g. "wealthy", "poor", etc). You have yet to unambiguously define those terms.

Regarding "picking one point that is the most wrong", it's admittedly hard to do since you didn't really make any unambiguous points in your post to begin with, but let's choose THIS one to discuss further: You said it wasn't fair that "the top 1% of earners" paid roughly 35% of their income on taxes while "the poorest 5%" paid roughly 17% of their income on taxes. Why don't you think this is fair?

It is provable after it happens. The data will come as deaths pile up. Do you understand what a prediction is?
Click to expand...
Yes. Prediction is a SWAGPOOYA. The EPA, as one egregious example of this, uses this sort of bullshit number all the time to justify spending billions, often tens or hundreds of billions, to remove miniscule amounts of pollution that have no real effect on anything. They are hardly the only ones either.

Worse, with the EPA, when they are questioned about it, they claim that their source information cannot be made public or shared for one reason or another. That is, there is no way to verify their claims or how they came to them. But miraculously, somehow the health or other cost savings from their new regulation is equal almost exactly to the cost of that regulation! Hallelujah!

To start out, how about you get your numbers right. Poor Americans pay around 17% of their income on taxes. The amount the wealthy pay in theory is about 28%. In reality it is anywhere from 8.2% to 3.4%. Try these websites on for size.

Next let's say you had $10 dollars. And 17% of that went to taxes. That would leave you with $8.30. There isn't a lot you could buy with that, is there. Now let's say you had 1,000.000 and had that taxed at the same 17%. That would leave you with $830,000. There is quite a lot you could buy with that money. Just how wealthy do the wealthy need to be.

Your demonstrations suck. He is back on.

Maybe you should have replied with less bullshit and got straight to the point. I looked it up. The top 1% of earners paid on average 34.8% of their income on taxes. The poorest 5% pay about 17.1%. Does that sound fair to you? WELL IT SHOULDNT!

Of the wealthy who pay taxes, what can they buy with their leftover profits? Quite a lot. What can the poor buy with their leftover wages? Not much. Many have to subsist largely on ramen noodles! 70% of adult wage earners have SNAP-EBT benefits because they don't earn enough.

But when things come to state and local taxes, things get worse there. The lowest 20% of income workers pay around 11.4% in state and local taxes. For the top 1%, it is on average 7.2%. I have some pictures and videos for you. After seeing the pictures and watching the videos, consider the point you chose to bring up to be thoroughly refuted.
