Musk says trump will crash the economy for our own good.

I would impose massive taxes on the rich and spread the wealth around. That is how Roosevelt ended the Great Depression and got reelected three times.

Actually, it was the War that ended the depression. Taxes went through the roof to pay for it. Tell you what, I still haven't seen any math from you. Are you going to do some or are you just going to be Barbie and say that math is hard?

In case you've forgotten, the question is, how much do you think you could get by taxing the rich more compared to the current budget deficit, and what are you going to do when the rich make their wealth and income (different things) disappear?

Also, if you want to bring back FDR's tax rates, bring back the deductions as well. I'd like to deduct credit card interest.

Military spending and employment is government spending and employment. The Great Depression would have ended sooner if the increases in government spending and employment had gone to things like infrastructure, health care, and Social Security.

Even with tax loopholes a high tax rate for the rich gives the government considerable control over their behavior.

Of course it is popular. There are far more deadbeats looking for a handout than there are wealthy people.

A lot of these so called "deadbeats" work harder than a lot of rich people.

How long do you think it will take for the businesses to end their factory contracts for assembly lines? To find a place and retrofit it or build a factory from scratch, having machinery custom made for product, finding new sourcing for materials and importing them, training a brand new assembly line, moving workers to area of their factories...some from China to keep continuity in the product....

The Corps will not feel the pain of higher prices, we will....they may slow in unit sales but the higher price they charge consumers will make up the profit loss from tariff prices....

The businesses have to really be hurt badly to make the expensive and lengthy move here...and they are not going to be punished, only we are with higher inflation through the roof....

It takes quite a few years to hit their bottom line.

Of course we will, we have been since Harris was elected…groceries for example have skyrocketed 25.8 percent since she was sworn in

Not sure your point. It’s why she’s losing

Specific spending cuts in domestic items is unpopular. Raising taxes on the rich is popular.

Raising the top tax rate and spreading the wealth around enabled Franklin Roosevelt to be reelected three times.

It’s not a popularity contest, it’s about doing what will work

WW2 was why Franklin was re-elected

Then why aren’t they paying their fair share in taxes?

She's not losing.... That's fake news....trump knows he's losing, that's why he is already making false claims of voter fraud....

Even our inflation rate was less than our European friends, by several percentage points lower....Biden also brought our inflation rate down in a record short time....

Spare me, he kicked butt vs trump in the economy, and stock market....y'all just don't get the news in your circles....

Haha xiden didn’t bring our inflation rate down in any record time.

The economy is far worse, hence why I record number of people say they are worse off

I'm not seeing you do any math. If you're not going to, at least admit you're just going on feelz and want to get the rich guy instead of really believing we can balance the budget just by gouging them.

If we're doing so well, why is FEMA cash-strapped and having a hard time helping the areas devastated by the hurricane?

I am not seeing you doing any mathematics either. You are just blowing hot air.

During the 1950's the top tax rate never got below 88% and was usually higher. What was so terrible about that? The average house cost two times the average two years wages. Men with only a high school degree could afford to buy a house, and car, and support a wife who did not need to work and who could stay home with the children.

 

[Hector12]

Then why aren’t they paying their fair share in taxes?

If they are working hard for low wages, they should not be paying any taxes at all.

Why not?

WW2 was why Franklin was re-elected

In 1940 most Americans were better off than when Roosevelt was elected the first time That is why he was reelected the second time.

 

[Hector12]

Why not?

Because of a matter of simple economic decency. You would understand nothing about that. When they got good things from the government without paying for them the Democrats dominated the United States.

Um FDR was elected the first time in 1933, he won’t reelection in 1936…and yes things were improving…and by 1940’we were in WW2

He was re-elected in

It’s indecent to think everyone should pay their fair share in taxes?

 

[sparky]

He says High prices and economic collapse are the price of the trump agenda.

Are you guys really gonna vote for this just to "own the libs"?

It would be the biggest self-own in history to crash your own country's economy on purpose just to be able to say you won.

Elon Musk agrees: Trump’s economic plans will lead to ‘hardship’

The former president’s wealthy allies are promoting the idea of economic collapse and high prices as a necessary side effect of Trump’s economic agenda

No. The fair share for the working poor is no taxes at all.

No. The fair share for the working poor is no taxes at all.

Why??? That seems indecent to expect people not to pay taxes

Taxes are what we pay to live in a civil society
