I'm wondering if the next step down from the single issue voter is the multiple conspiracy voter
Unfortunately those Republicans who feel that way won’t vote for someone other than a Republican because the democrats are going to turn us all gay, trans, and eat babies while killing all the Christians after taking away all the guns.
they call democrats communists because they don't want to admit the republicans are fascists. ya know the ones we fought a war over and won.You wouldn't know a communist if Karl Marx rose out of his grave and wacked you on your decrepit brain.
I see tons of filth like you online say Biden or the Dems are communist. It's not tenable to create a functioning society with people so far gone from reality. You people are beyond help and are allergic to education and facts. All of you are a net negative on society and the entire human species.
They loved freedom and justice until people decided that it should include freedom and justice for undesirables.they call democrats communists because they don't want to admit the republicans are fascists. ya know the ones we fought a war over and won.
We want to tax the rich because they have the money. Return income and wealth distribution to pre-Reagan levels and we can consider backing off but not until then.lol. Of course you guys want to tax the rich. You guys don't pay taxes. Or very minimal. I also support any bill that tax you but not me.
Reagan was campaigning against wealth distribution inequalities before his presidency, but yeah, I'd settle for pre Reagan numbers. Heck, I'd settle for post Reagan top tier tax brackets for the $1 mil plus groupWe want to tax the rich because they have the money.

By "you guys," you meant the 71% of Americans polled, right?lol. Of course you guys want to tax the rich. You guys don't pay taxes. Or very minimal. I also support any bill that tax you but not me.

They convince the stupid that some day they can be rich and they would not want to be taxed in that fantasy world."Vast majority of Americans" have supported increasing taxes on the wealthy, not only for this purpose, but in general. Polls going back decades.
The real question is how the republican party lowers taxes for the wealthy every time they're in power, and never suffers the electoral consequences of doing so.
This is why Mexico looks like it does.Wealth inequality continues to increase. The poor continue to get poorer, the rich get richer. It can't last. Or rather, it ends with rich people in guarded compounds guarded by security forces that the rich can afford, who can fend off the poverty-stricken hordes. If that sounds like a bad sci-fi movie, just check India today.
The greatest trick the rich ever pulled off was getting poor rubes to go to bat for the poor downtrodden billionaires. Just distract them with tales of illegal immigrants and trannies taking away their freedoms, like shooting fish in a barrel.
Yea, I dont get it. Same with super restrictive abortion laws. But people keep voting for them. I will say, they are a lot more united than Democrats and deliver their message much more effectively. Gerrymandering also plays a big part in keeping them in office, as well as unequal senate representation and the anachronism known as the electoral college."Vast majority of Americans" have supported increasing taxes on the wealthy, not only for this purpose, but in general.

lol im not in the states, but I do pay a lot of taxes where I am at. I can and will pay some more soon as my party will push through reforms.. and thats perfectly fine by me.lol.

Its the tipping point of any democracy when any subset of the population gains so much power that they are effectively able to buy politics to advance the need of singular subjects. What you got going on with lobbying in congress, conservative media run by super wealthy to fuck ppls brains - is not so much different in concept, imo, than what you see with the cartels in Mexico(when are we gonna start capitalizing the c in Cartels?), its just another subset of the population that gained critical mass.Yea, I dont get it.

If you cant make them play by the rules then better shit them of society, to Dubai or whatever, they’d be more at home with other rich aholes anyway.A bit of role playing the devils advocate here....
My concern, how much taxing is actually available when taxing the rich? Could this be the excuse or presumed remedy for passing bills that increase spending? And what about Jeff Bezos? He could "do things" to get back at the people like raising shipping coats or refusing to accept returns? Or, Walmart might say they have stuff in stock when they really don't. Oh, they already do that....
If the corporations and Jeff Bezos have to pay more they will do what they always do, pass that tax onto the consumer. Like with daycare for all. The idea of daycare for all is so that families can have access to free or low-cost daycare paid with taxing the rich. But what if there isn't quite enough taxing the rich tax money coning in to pay for the free daycare? Then, mothers will still be paying for daycare they can't afford but now that paying is in higher personal taxes. So what's the point if a mother couldn't afford $200 a week for daycare yet now pays $200 in increased taxes? Whats the difference?
Don't mind me. I was just channeling the spirit of Ronald Reagan.
lol. Of course you guys want to tax the rich. You guys don't pay taxes. Or very minimal. I also support any bill that tax you but not me.
You must be trolling.lol. Of course you guys want to tax the rich. You guys don't pay taxes. Or very minimal. I also support any bill that tax you but not me.
also, a lot of people a lot richer than @ponyo support this bill and the politicians that are trying to pass it, of which many are wealthier than he is as well. Pelosi is worth over 100 million, and she is a big proponent of this bill. But he is so arrogant he thinks it's only the peons that want this bill to get through.
FFS. $250k household income is doing extremely well in almost every part of this country.You'd be shocked how fast 250, even 350k goes when you are actually saving as you are supposed/need to. Nobody gets pensions and paid hc plans in retirement anymore. You have to save your ass off. $250k = not broke at 80.

Ahh, the rivate sector argument. Surprised it took this long.Riddle me this? So why is it when a poll says the majority believe in something, we don't ALWAYS want, or do what the masses want? Also, which masses should we follow? The ones that fit political agendas, or the ones that might make this shithole of a world slightly better for those that care? If the so-called egalitarian rich are really OK paying more taxes, they would already be doing so. They can do it now...but they won't because it's a lie. The press and politicians love it because it sells.
Most of us on this forum are well off enough to not know first-hand about real poverty, food shortage and crappy living conditions. Let's face it. We all have internet , computers, phones and easy access to transportation and medical care of some sort. That's not always the case for everyone, even in the U.S.
How many of us on the forum actually volunteer in their church, food banks, homeless shelters and "safe shelters". I'd wager only a few on this forum. Start there, then come back and tell us that giving more money to the federal government will fix those issues. While your at it, tell me how much several trillion dollars thrown at problems in Afghanistan or Iraq fixed their problems.
We have these things because worker productivity is way, way up globally. The vast profits from those activities, under capitalism, accrue to the rich instead of the workers. Taxing the holy hell out of the rich will redistribute the fruits of labor back to the workers who created it. That the rich are unwilling to do this themselves is on them.Most of us on this forum are well off enough to not know first-hand about real poverty, food shortage and crappy living conditions.

Not exactly. I referred to Federal Govt. The lower you go, the more effective they become.Ahh, the rivate sector argument. Surprised it took this long.
Tell me how much Bezos et al are doing for those really poor people you describe? Face it the government is the only option for certain things.
Also, most here wanting tax increases would agree with your war argument. Guess what. War is just another billionaire handout at normal taxpayer expense, the exact thing people here are arguing to change.
