She's an insignificant bug splattered on the windshield of Congress right now, and if she keeps floating ridiculous ideas like a 70% income tax, she'll be scraped off in the next primary cycle. She's got only marginally more influence over the Democratic agenda than you are I do. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

I don't have an answer for you however, why is every time someone disagrees with a policy you turn it into a race/gender bias?

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Why do you think it's because she's a woman and not because she may literally be the dumbest member of congress? She's a constant source of entertainment. It's people like you that make everything about race and gender. (01-04-2019, 10:12 PM)copycat Wrote:(01-04-2019, 01:45 PM)Adam2012 Wrote: Why do right-wingers have such an issue with women?

I'd split the difference and make it an even 50%. I'd also legalize marijuana and tax the crap out of it and raise the taxes on alcohol, cigarettes and gambling, while giving a 5% tax cut to people who make under $100,000 yearly. I bring home troops stationed in countries overseas and create bases along our own southern border with check points where there can be continuous patrols. No need for a wall then.

When that person is paying a smaller percentage than the middle class which averages 35%? I sure do and I do it with a smile.

You forgot to mention the possibility of our government spending less money as well, but im sure that was just an oversight. Also, married couples need to make between 400 and 600k to pay 35%. Is that what you consider middle class?

I'm just taking the national averages that I googled. No, that is definitely not middle class. IMO, middle class is $100,000 to $250,000. (01-05-2019, 10:15 AM)flsprtsgod Wrote:Whatever.

You have nothing to contribute to this conversation. You want taxes to be zero. Every tax offends you. we get it. Go be offended somewhere else, you sensitive snowflake.

You appear to be confusing the top marginal rate with the effective rate. Taxes are, like, complicated and stuff.

If you had any reading comprehension you'd know that he was claiming that middle class taxpayers pay less than 35%. If the top marginal rate is 35%, then those at that rate DO pay less than 35%. Those below $400K which includes all of the "middle class" don't even pay that as a marginal rate. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"
