The inevitable Biden tax increase

China Joe said:
I'm not sure how you or he interpreted it that way. Regardless, I'll restate: After being taxed at the same rate as everyone else, isn't it better to let that individual decide how to spend what is left over, instead of having the government decide for them?

Anyone can spend their after tax money anyway they want to as long as what they are spending it on is legal.

That part about "After being taxed at the same rate as everyone else...." is a dodge.

I never suggested that should be the case to begin with.

The wealthy should have always been taxed at a higher rate than the middle and working classes.

Why?

Because they are the ones who can afford it and they are the ones who feel the least financial pain from it.

That's just your opinion. Now justify it.

15% of $50K will have a much bigger impact on that person's ability to spend in the consumer market than 15% of $500K would for that other person.

A flat tax only transfers more wealth to the top, and contracts the economy at the bottom.

It's also incredibly simplistic and uninspired. It's laziness.

Your argument comes down to the bolded text, which is of course nothing more than an opinion. If that were the case, then the wealthy wouldn't be moving out of high tax states into lower tax states, nor would they be moving their corporations to tax haven countries, nor would they be lobbying politicians for tax breaks and loopholes, and nor would they hire expensive tax attorneys to find these loopholes and pay as little tax as possible. Based on these facts, a more reasonable opinion is that higher tax rates on the wealthy create more financial pain to them then low rates do to those in the lower tax brackets.

Again, that's just your opinion.

I didn’t either and I don’t need the money. But you ducked the question.

Why complain about some gender study bullshit when you (and me), as non-one percenters, were the ones who got fucked by Trump’s bill?

Your problem is that you're too dumb to understand the difference between GREED and NEED.

Nobody in their right mind buys your phony bullshit and your suggestion that the principle of people with lots of money can afford to pay more taxes without feeling financial pain or hardship is "nothing more than an opinion", is just an obvious load of hogwash.

You're just flailing desperately here.
 
Regarding the concept of "laziness" in tax policy, I had a college professor who several times advocated finding the "lazy" solution to a problem. "Be smart-lazy" he would say. "Find the simple solution, then move onto the next problem. That is how you get things done."

If government would be "smart-lazy", we would be solving many more problems instead of constant, unending discussions.

Here come the ad homs, because you can't dispute my position. You make this so easy.

SSDD with you every time.

Say something that makes sense and you'll get a serious response.

As long as you post your usual drivel, you can fuck off.

Stop being a little bitch.

You butt into a thread with your own shitty style, and then you posture this bullshit when someone not only demolishes your stupid argument, but does it with flair.

I thought that about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Helping defeat a disease and aiding people and our economy are more worthwhile then those wars.

Biden is not aiding the economy. Neither are the Democrats. Taking $5500 from every person so they can get back $1400 is not aid.

So tell me. Why do so many Democrats finance the GOP??
