2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

They already pay all the taxes. Let's say you make 100,000 a year and you pay in payroll and income taxes about 27,000. That poor guy making a million has to pay 150,000 in taxes. It's NOT ****ING FAIR. That's 123,000 more in taxes. The outrage.

Or we could get rid of all the tax havens, shell companies, tax breaks/write-offs, etc and everyone actually pay the percentage of tax they are supposed to be paying on what their income is.

Do the math again.

Read your post again, and do the math. That's 25% vs 15%, and it's most likely due to what I would like to get rid of. Hmmm.

Edit: and that is not even starting on corporate taxes.

Pretty sure a lot of education resources and such could be had with $79B.

No. It's not due to what you're talking about.

This isn’t an either or thing.

My vote would be my proposal, see the results, then re-evaluate. There's a LOT of money not being paid right now due to the tax avoidance.

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

Yes but the fact that they’re avoiding taxes doesn’t mean they shouldn’t also be taxed at a higher rate than people who can barely pay rent. In fact that probably necessitates the opposite.

Bernie didn't lose the Presidency, Hillary did. Nader ****ed Gore right up the ***.

yo. half of the voting age population didn't vote. apathy is where scooby's blame is to be directed.

JUST IN: Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hilary Clinton reportedly said that she would consider entering the Democratic primary if she saw a scenario in which she could win.

If half of the customers in a store left without buying anything would we say they were apathetic or would we say the store was not offering the right products?

Therefore there IS NO difference between D and R??

Of course it would. The sane, rational, don't rock the boat centrist way.

Not a very useful analogy unless you somehow include the element of social responsibility. We are voting ("buying"), in large part, for the benefit of others. If we don't buy, goods will be sold anyway, but possibly only those or only at a price that harms those others you have a responsibility to protect.

NY Times...wrong.

edit: Proof:



They arent even hiding they are pulling crap out of their butt. They threw Clinton in to try and cover their butts for what they did to her in 2016.

Check this out! The Washington Post, which apparently we're supposed to trust, gets into the "Dems in Disarray" act. You might think it was the Dem incumbent facing impeachment and a majority of the country that wants him tried and convicted.

For the millionth time fellow libs/lefties/corporate sellout Dems/etc - the media IS NOT your friend or ally. Any of them.

So, Democratic voters are expressing concern about the election prospects in 2020, the WaPo publishes a story about it, but you're suggesting your fellow Dems ignore it, nothing to see here, move along?
