jtssrx Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Do you understand republicans and democrats who support the current tax code are to blame? The only fair tax is a flat tax period. also what does it fucking matter how much money they have. The 14th amendment affords everyone equal protection under the law. Ya despite how much money you have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 It's how you start the conversation that we should be taxing wealth instead of earnings. Like taxing unrealized gains. Brilliant. Fucking brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another inconvenience truth like likes of @Mainecat and @spin_dry aka @ActionfigureJoe want to pretend dise not exist . And if you dare suggest we start by cutting all spending by 25% the you get the @Angry ginger telling you how irresponsible that would be and how it will collapse the economy . Every time . I have now moved on from 25% cuts accross the board time for 25% accross the board then another 25% targeted cuts . And the targeted cuts start with all aid to any non American person or countery or coalition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nop just what I believe and always have. Unlike some who cry about not taxing enough and then defend the spend . Then in the next thread complain about people who don't have there personal financial house in order . But almost as funny as you crying about the evil of capitalism when you your self are 100% invested in the system . Yet for some reason you are above it all .

And the targeted cuts start with all aid to any non American person or countery or coalition. the economy is so dependent on government spending at this point those kind of cuts would destroy it. while I agree we need cuts they need to be slow rolled when the private economy expansion can support it. Trump had the perfect opportunity to do this and the Biden admin does now as well. But neither will man up and reality is no politicians going to. Using 2015 as a baseline A 3% cut in 16,17,18 from there would have been perfect and in effect with holding back cola increases would have been close to 18-20% net in an expanding economy. Shit no lessons were learned from the initial injection after the pandemic as well giving us 2 more rounds of injection we did not really need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back then there was 0% tax on capital gains. Try to educate yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
