A Point Musk Has Not Considered

What was income?
Total income all sources? $23 Tn.

Do you want to pay 50% cap gains on your IRA?

Income taxes make up the bulk of federal revenues. Payroll taxes are #2. Together they made up 87% of federal revenues.

If you want to pay for the current levels of spending with taxes, you will need a big increase in income taxes- marginal rates of 70% or better, and you will have to reach deep into the middle class with that rate.
 
I think our planet is worth whatever it takes
So, I'll put you down for being fine with spending 50 trillion more on top of the 36 trillion we already owe. Meanwhile, you attack Republicans for not being able to control spending.

To save the planet?
Yup
 
Being as how none of them won, they never got the chance to lie to me.

You can't say that.
Well, we can also say that they lied to you but you just never got the chance to find out.

However, this goes back to the point I made several posts ago. You, and others like you, have repeatedly voted for losers and the net result of that is less and less people are voting for these kind of candidates and voting R's and D's instead. That's means what you are doing is not working. So, your point is why continually vote for the same ole, same ole, and keep on getting the same bad results when you are doing the exact same thing yourself in continually voting the same ole, same ole way and getting the same bad results. Isn't it time YOU did something different and had a different approach?
 
Musk ain't in charge, Biden is. You could say that as a foreigner Hussein Obama only had a rudimentary understanding of the US. government.

A Point Musk Has Not Considered

Elon Musk is determined force a shut-down of the federal government. As a foreigner, Musk only has a rudimentary understanding of how the U.S. Government operates.

As Musk is eager to see Social Security and Medicare cease to exist and force tens-of-millions of retired and disabled Americans into poverty and homelessness, does he understand a government shut-down will not accomplish this?

“If the federal government shuts down this weekend, work at numerous publicly funded agencies would slow or stop altogether, while millions of government employees would stop receiving paychecks.”

“But Social Security benefits would still go out”

“Social Security is considered a mandatory program, and it's not funded by the shorter-term continuing-resolution bills that have kept the government operating in recent years amid Washington political gridlock.”

So, crafty old Elon will have to wait until next year, after dictator trump enters the White House on January 20th. He, trump, can then, by royal proclamation, declare Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and other programs defunct. This action should have the millions of trump cultists dancing in the streets.

The post quoted here demonstrates not only chronic TDS but a woefully dismally inadequate understanding or intentionally dishonest expression of what Elon Musk wants/believes and understands and what a Trump presidency will be.
 
Then you have no business attacking the other side for not getting spending under control when you would willingly add another 50 trillion dollars worth of debt onto our already out of control 36 trillion dollars.
Yup
The planet is worth every penny
It is the best planet we have

Maybe. But if they would have i would not support them again.

People have always voted (d) or (r).

Brainwashed.
 
As I said, the space program has led to many tangible and intangible benefits to mankind. You may be able to break it down dollar wise and the tangible items but not the intangible ones. You are the side who is always touting up science and call the other side science deniers and yet, here you are, calling for the end of science.
How have I benefitted from sending people to the moon or sending probes to mars? How have I benefitted from NASA employing a former war criminal member of the Nazi party? If NASA had not existed, how would my life be so much less fulfilling?

I've never heard musk say he wants to eliminate Social Security. You wouldn't happen to have a link for this would you? :linky:
