A-O-C Proposes 70% Marginal Tax for Green New Deal

[Toddsterpatriot]

"Ocasio-Cortez's 'Green New Deal' aims to eliminate carbon emissions within 12 years.

It'd be easier to eliminate idiots in 12 years than to eliminate carbon fuels.
At least carbon fuels are useful.

What is the problem with trying to push our technological capacities to the furthest extent possible?'

Who needs technology, just walk.

What's your problem with pushing our technological limits...

I agree, nuclear reactors, not windmills.

So why should a gold-plated con man with little or no regard for the truth or the quaint notion that wealthy scum bags like him have a civic duty to pay taxes get away with paying no income taxes in 1978, '79, '92, and 1994?

get away with paying no income taxes in 1978, '79, '92, and 1994?

If someone had no taxable income in those years, why would they owe taxes in those years?

Friends in high places?

If someone had no taxable income in those years, why would they owe taxes in those years?

If someone had no taxable income and that same someone had millions of dollars in income during those years, that same someone and his corrupt cohorts obviously bribed politicians of both major parties for favorable tax laws.

If someone had no taxable income and that same someone had millions of dollars in income during those years

You're confused about the definition now? LOL!

I'll try to dumb it down for you.
You make $10 million in year one. You pay taxes on $10 million.
You lose $5 million in year two, no taxes owed.
You make $3 million in year three. Your $5 million loss is carried for forward, no taxes owed.
You make $2 million in year four, you still have $2 million in unused losses, no taxes owed.

Is that clear enough?

that same someone and his corrupt cohorts obviously bribed politicians of both major parties for favorable tax laws.

Obviously DURR!

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: 'No question' Trump is a racist - CNNPolitics

"There is 'no question' that President Donald Trump is a racist, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview that aired Sunday night.

"Speaking on CBS's '60 Minutes,' Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat, told Anderson Cooper that Trump 'certainly didn't invent racism. But he's certainly given a voice to it and expanded it and created a platform for those things.'
"'Do you believe President Trump is a racist?' Cooper asked.
"'Yeah, yeah, no question,' Ocasio-Cortez replied."

Your problem is we think she's a fucking loon.

Trump is certainly no racist. He was correct about the Mexican judge.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

She's nuts.

She's the Anti-Trump

Will you cry when she moves into the White House?

You think she isn't sufficiently racist?

I'll try to dumb it down for you.
You make $10 million in year one. You pay taxes on $10 million.
You lose $5 million in year two, no taxes owed.

How did you lose that $5 million?
Did you have $0 gross income and become homeless or did you exploit tax laws specifically written to allow parasite like Trump to avoid paying their fair share of income taxes?

Taking advantage of existing tax law doesn't make one a parasite.

That you are too stupid to understand that Donald Trump is one of but 300M people who do so is of little concern to anyone else..

You mean like Berkshire Hathaway at one time owing 1 billion in back taxes, but they are OK because liberal cheerleader Warren Buffet owns it right ? I am curious as to what you think "fair share" means.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

"In an effort to fund policies that would reduce fossil fuel and carbon emissions within the next 12 years, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has proposed a tax rate on the super-rich that is more moderate than U.S. tax policy during parts of the 20th century.

"In a video clip released Friday, she tells journalist Anderson Cooper of '60 Minutes' that taxing incomes above $10 million at a 60 percent to 70 percent rate could be a good step..."

"The approximately 16,000 Americans earning more than $10 million are at the very top of the top 1 percent of earners. Such a tax could bring in approximately $720 billion over 10 years, according to the Tax Policy Center’s Mark Mazur."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Proposes Perfectly American Tax on Ultra-Rich

Over the past forty years, the richest one percent have seen their share of national income increase dramatically, and fossil fuels have been partially responsible.

Maybe it's time for fossil fuels to pay their fair share of taxes?

So kill the economy then ?

Any time some one says tax the rich, it plays well on the left.

Why do you think the left resents one-percent parasites who get rich from bribing politicians for favorable tax and trade policies?

The Trump Family’s Tax Dodging Is Symptomatic of a Larger Problem

They don’t mind them when the billionaires are funding their impeach Trump campaign.

Trump owes his election to a billionaire:

Reclusive U.S. billionaire Robert Mercer helped Trump win the presidency — but what does he really want?

"The day after U.S. President Donald Trump learned that a gossipy White House tell-all included quotes that his son was 'treasonous' and his daughter 'dumb as a brick,' Trump's mysterious billionaire backers Robert and Rebekah Mercer did a very rare thing and publicly fired back."

Leftists wouldn't have any trouble taxing all billionaires into extinction; what's wrong with conservatives?

Do you people have a program with the names of people or groups you think helped Trump win because that shit seems to change randomly way to often

Did you have $0 gross income

If you lost $5 million, that's worse than making $0.

Neither AFDC nor TANF have anything to do with what I wrote, and yes there are tons of people who at the end of the year get a net credit tax return, which means they get a "refund" check that is larger than what they paid in. If you can't admit that, then there really is no need to discuss things further.
