That's not $534,000 taken away, you realize? That's what you have left. And that's still a fucking ton.

Why would we put the party that has lost five of the past six popular votes in total power? That simply doesn't make sense.

Yes I realize that.

That is 36% percent of someone's income. That's huge.

40% is nothing, especially to someone who earns hundreds of thousands a year.

I can guess that you're one of those people who wants to punish success by taxing it away from the successful.

You realize that 40% is less than 100%, right?

I mean, I'm not even sure this is an argument, or just someone bad at math.

Nothing to do with punishing success. It has to do with paying your fair share.

No, it isn't. Maybe when you grow up you could move out of the USA and realize just how fucking low the taxes are there.

My 'fair share', as it were, would be the exact same percentage as other people. A Flat tax is the only system of taxing that doesn't punish the wealthy.

No, a flat tax is fucking idiotic. There's a reason it isn't used in any sane country (or any country, for that matter).

No, the USA needs to get its shit together and raise them to the levels it used to have in the golden days.

Morals are subjective, and as such as irrelevant. And no, it's a fucking horrible system.

I don't understand how the GOP glorifies the 40s/50s and is against everything that made them that way.

No, it isn't. A fair share is a progressive tax system. There's a reason every single country on the planet uses such a system.


Hint: It fucking works. Deal with it.
