The dem Debates Thread

[koriwhat]

I wasn’t wrong. The 70% tax rate in AOCs proposal wouldn’t apply to anyone you listed (except I guess Delaney but I glossed over him the same way everyone else does).

"except"... god damn you ing libs!

[DarrinS]

Id bring back the tax rates we had in the 50s, back when the country actually had a strong economy and middle class.

Yikes!

[Spurtacular]

Why was it strong then?

Innovation. Suburban growth. Strong market economy. Etc.

[Spurtacular]

Eunuch Reck - You still haven't told us why Booker and Harris cancel each other out.

and almost 0 illegal immigration.

[Will Hunting]

Innovation. Suburban growth. Strong market economy. Etc.

So we had innovation and a strong economy while also having high taxes on the rich? Glad we can agree on that.

Amy Klobuchar Net Worth: $1.5 Million
Amy Klobuchar is an American lawyer and politician who has a net worth of $1.5 million. That's not enough to make her one of the 70 wealthiest members of the Senate. (https://www.celebritynetworth.com/ri...har-net-worth/)

Elizabeth Warren Net Worth: $8.75 Million
Elizabeth Warren’s net worth is generally estimated at between $3.7 million and $10 million, but you have to add another $1.9 million to that for her house, according to CNN. That makes Warren a wealthy woman. CNN boils her net worth down to her “average net worth” of $8.75 million. The reason her net worth is given as a range is because disclosure forms for U.S. Senators only require a range to be listed. (https://heavy.com/news/2019/06/eliza...ren-net-worth/)

funny how these fools talk about high taxes for the rich yet one of the richest on stage wouldn't advocate for that 70% tax hike, can you guess who that was? either way, these frauds won't speak of their wealth because it'll backfire no doubt.

all above 10 million fo rmore taxes something they are almost in but not quite

[koriwhat]

yeah, will hunting was going out of his way to protect tom delaney

you can laugh all you want while still being a dip who's wrong.

you sir/madam/it/they/them are a ing dip !

Over taxation is a suppressor. This is a very basic economic concept.

Your mom should have used the coat hanger when she was pregnant with you.

[Will Hunting]

You just admitted it didn't suppress anything in the 50s.

[Trainwreck2100]

Your mom should have used the coat hanger when she was pregnant with you.

are we sure she didnt, but somehow ed it up

[Spurtacular]

You just admitted it didn't suppress anything in the 50s.

The average marginal rate was reasonable and even lower than today. And the high eat-the-rich marginal rates were not applicable in the way they would be today.

[Will Hunting]

So you're OK with returning to the tax code we had in the 50s then?

[Trainwreck2100]

Id bring back the tax rates we had in the 50s, back when the country actually had a strong economy and middle class.

I assume you'd adjust that for inflation first

[Will Hunting]

I assume you'd adjust that for inflation first

Yes.

[Spurtacular]

So you're OK with returning to the tax code we had in the 50s then?

I just said it doesn't apply in the same manner.

I'm not saying you shouldn't have a gripe with the elite rich. Most of us do. But you are presupposing that the govt. is a good economic distributor; it's not. It's pay for play, and the rich will find their own ins and the expense of the workers.

Also, you are presupposing that great success needs to be punished. That's foolish. If I do an enterprise that pays to that magnitude, my at ude is the business can off if they come at me for ninety percent. That you didn't build that stuff doesn't fly with me.

[koriwhat]

Your mom should have used the coat hanger when she was pregnant with you.

So you want people who disagree with you aborted?

Thats pretty ed up,tbh.

[spurraider21]

[Will Hunting]

koriwhat, I'll freely admit that I would prefer for someone as re ed as ducks to have been aborted.

all i see is irony, being two faced, talking out one side of your mouth, being spineless, and just being the good little lib that you are.
