What Taxing the Rich Could Yield

Whatever dude...at least I didn't get conned by a reality TV show host with stupid hair.
LOL. You got conned by The Hillbag instead, the most corrupt politician in our lifetime.
Most corrupt, eh?
So what corruption was she convicted of?
Oh right, none.
You couldn't find anything.
So you just cast your lot in with a reality TV show host instead.
Poor judgment on your part...but you've never really had good instincts for this sort of thing anyway, have you Mr. "I got conned by a reality TV show host and I justify it by imagining Clinton is as corrupt as my own black soul"?
I can still think so little of you, and still respond.
I mean, your base instincts are for shit. That's why you supported Trump; your poor judgment and bad character.
Someone with good judgment would have never supported Trump.
Liberals are envious and want to believe anyone who is wealthy had to cheat to get their money.
The top 10% currently pays 55% of all federal income taxes and 40% of earners pay 0 (many get refunded taxes they did not pay through the EITC). The top 40% pay 106% of all federal income taxes (because of the EITC).
The percent of total federal income taxes paid by the wealthy has been increasing over the years because their share of the income has been increasing--exactly the way progressive income taxes are supposed to work. In 1979 the top 10% paid 39.1% of all federal income taxes; today, they pay 55%. The wealthy are the only group who pay a higher percentage of federal income taxes than their share of total income--all other groups pay a smaller percent of income taxes than their share of income.
You've convinced yourself Clinton is corrupt in order to justify the worst political judgment you made in your entire adult life.
It's important that Flash establish this as a given because the rest of his argument completely falls apart without this straw man.
You have to go to these hyperbolic extremes because that's how you normalize your own inherent extremism.
We don't believe everyone who became wealthy cheated...but many of them did cheat, and many others exploit the system in order to maintain the status quo.
You all cut taxes just 12 months ago, and the result has been an economy heading right for a recession. You've already tanked the market...a recession is extremely fucking nigh now.
Oh, and don't think you'll be able to float away on a lifeboat.
Those shits have been burned to a crisp and are at the bottom of the bay.
A few things:
1. Back before Reagan, the tax burden was far more equitable and the middle and lower classes paid a larger share of the burden. But then you morons cut taxes, which resulted in people suddenly not paying any taxes, and the burden becoming less equitable.
2. While they pay 55% of the income taxes, the amount they pay is half of what it was before Reagan. So you are trying to lead people to a false conclusion by pretending that because they pay a larger share (completely your fault, by the way, for cutting taxes in the first place), that it's somehow unfair, but the part you leave out is that the amount they pay is about half of what they used to since their rate is about half of what it was in 1980.
3. When you make lazy, bullshit arguments like this, be aware of your flank because they're so easily smacked down, and the problem is put right back on you.
4. If you're crying crocodile tears over the burden the wealthy pay while ignoring the fact that their rate is basically half of what it used to be, then you're a duplicitous, lying piece of shit who deserves no respect. Ever.
Full stop.

Democrats want to punish the successful with higher taxes.
They pay a larger share because you cut taxes, idiot.
You and your core principles are the cause of the very thing you're complaining about, you asshole.
You lean on the same meme because you lack the ability to formulate your own response.
That's because of your poor character, bad instincts, and awful judgment.
Or, it just reminds me of you, being the emotional wreck that you are.
Conservatives have to make this about punishment because they tacitly admit that most of the wealth wasn't attained fairly, morally, ethically, or honestly.
No, it's because you're incredibly fucking lazy and you lack creativity.
So you just steal the work others do.
What a lazy fucking nobody.

Revenues can increase and deficits still go up. We have been over this and I have schooled you before
