All the new billionaires and millionaires is part of the worst inequality d u h. Sanders is talking about 52% top rate, Reagan had a 50% top rate when he had his success-then they went nuts and changed it to 28% when he was leaving, the kiss of death for the middle class and our infrastructure. Just remain calm brainwashed functional moron. It was 90% under Eisenhower and 70% under Kennedy. And you jackasses think we're communists. Brainwashed idiocy. Experts say there are about 12 million illegals. 50 million is brainwashed idiocy. Change the channel to get some fresh air and read something. Read any newspaper in the world that is not published by Rupert Murdoch. Poor America. Thank God he's going to die soon.The
That's because they make about 80% of the income now, super duper. Every country ever has had a progressive tax system because if you have a flat tax like we have now if you count all taxes, the rich get hugely rich and everyone else suffers. That's why we have the worst inequality and upward Mobility since the 1890s and in the modern world. Great job! Only brainwashed ignoramuses like you make it possible. The GOP propaganda machine is a total disgrace and so are you.Actually, brainwashed functional moron, taxing the rich their fair share and cheap education and training would free people from the GOP trap of crap jobs, and give the Non Rich all kinds of good programs like Health Care daycare paid parental leav good vacations good infrastructure living wage etc etc. every other country modern country has all that stuff and we are the richest country in the world. Stop being a dupe....nobody is in favor of Communism, you brainwashed functional idiot. Everyone is talking about socialism which nowadays everywhere but your idiotic propaganda world is known in the modern world as fair capitalism with a good safety net. You have pure s*** for brains, super duper.
That is pure BS. A safety net is helping people who need help and getting out of everyone else's way. That is not what you are talking about. You want to trap EVERYBODY in crappy government plans which are horrible for just about everyone, and give useless leaders more power over us. You are calling Republicans brainwashed and stupid, but at least we are smart enough not to put our future's completely at the mercy of career politicians.
We tax the rich their fair share. Last time I looked they are paying like 80% of taxes. You cant tax the rich enough to give everyone free health care and free education and expect there to still be rich people. This is the common thinking thread with both communists and socialists. hate the rich, punish the rich, the rich are the root of all problems etc. but then they cant stop there either... they will have to equate being white with being rich, aka (white privilige) in order to advance class division and animosity.
Education would be much cheaper if the system wasn't so top heavy. Funds are being syphoned away from actual educational needs at a rate much higher than the rest of the modern world. Throwing more money at it isnt going to fix that problem, only increase the corruption.
sure sure, tax them 110% then. They do have the power at that level to take their money elsewhere. we have the worst upward mobility? really really dupe? then explain why in the US the number of millionaires is increasing more than anywhere else in the world. Including minorities increasingly. We get it though, that Socialists would like to stop all that. Generational wealth is a sin according to you guys.
furthermore when you have an imported lower class of illegals which is probably anywhere from 30 to 50 million people, many of whom were illiterate in their own language, it sort of skews that wealth disparity number, AND it doesn't help the native born US citizens who are homeless and living on the street of getting the attention they need in getting back into society.
