Right-Wing Challenge: Fair Income Tax For The Top 50% vs Bottom 50%

[citygator]

spending originates in the house not from POTUS,,

Boomers are still, to this day, 50% of congress. 60% of the senate, 40% of the house which is the lowest level in 30 years. It your debt.

the entitled brats are the ones enjoying the comforts they have that we never had and complaining about how they got them,,

By stealing the money. You borrowed it from your kids and their kids and pay yourself an unearned stolen social security and healthcare.

most of them take up a large part of the 50% that pays nothing into the system,,

they should pay their fair share before complaining,,

You deadbeats trying to distract us from yourselves. You are the deadbeat and that is how the other generations will remember you.

Greatest Generation: Sacrifice
Boomer Generation: Deadbeats
Gen X: The Business Generation
Gen Y: The Technology Generation
Gen Z: The Generation that has to fix the deadbeats mistakes

If you spend $100T buy collect $60T leaving a $40T debt… what are you? Fiscally responsible or a deadbeat? You think poor people are passing laws and spending bills?

Jesus you are a self righteous deadbeat. You think your shit doesnt stink but everyone else’s does.. That is typical Boomer mentality. It’s everyone else’s fault you guys left us where we are.

I’ll explain MATH one more time. If you taxed the bottom 50% at 100%.. meaning you took all their money.. it wouldn’t cover the deficit much less the 3 Xs bigger budget. This is on the boomers and wealthy for getting into office and voting to not pay bills.

all that is meaningless,,

50% pay little or nothing into the system,,
'

thats the opposite of paying a fair share,,

50% make nothing and have nothing… that’s not fair. I suggest you trade places for that lavish life. I’d bet you are a SS deadbeat in the bottom 50%.

Here is the challenge and it is based on next year's budget.

You need to raise about $2.4T in personal income taxes just to be $2.0T short of next year's expenses (Trump's plan) in a way that allows people to also live a life.

Fire up the chainsaws and start slashing everywhere. Cut spending until it's balanced. We do not have a revenue problem. We have a SPENDING problem.

Lazy as shit response. The republicans only raise spending, they don’t lower it. No one is lowering it. It is easy as pie to raise taxes. Democrats have done it. So did Bush. No one has ever cut spending.

Look. The difference in you and me is that I have practical solutions for practical problems. Someone like you just runs around pretending the poor (which have no money) are the real problem and talk about cutting spending that can’t be done.

The Orange God and Elon the Genius just did NOTHING with DOGE and put together the largest deficit spending bill in history.

if they make a paycheck that should be taxed like everyone else,,

and if they arent working while collecting welfare they should be forced to work or not receive welfare,,

You aren’t working and you are receiving welfare. I 100% agree with you. End boomer social security and Medicare TOMORROW and you wont see me bat an eye.

Boomers worked and paid into the SS and Medicare systems their entire working lives.
Boomers earned their SS and Medicare benefits by paying for them.
You whiny sh!ts need to do the same.

You deadbeats trying to distract us from yourselves. You are the deadbeat and that is how the other generations will remember you.

You obviously don't know what a "deadbeat" is.

Greatest Generation: Sacrifice

Mostly gone

Boomer Generation: Deadbeats

Grew America, you're welcome.

Gen X: The Business Generation

Next generation to retire, and they will want their SS and Medicare, that they paid for.

Gen Y: The Technology Generation

Have significant changes to deal with, AI as an example, the $39T Debt, and a declining population

Gen Z: The Generation that has to fix the deadbeats mistakes

Kids that are just starting out, 14-29 years old. Will they become communists? Will they get smarter than prior generations?
Will they get jobs, get married and have kids, or just live in their parents' basement?

You aren’t working and you are receiving welfare. I 100% agree with you. End boomer social security and Medicare TOMORROW and you wont see me bat an eye.

We are paying taxes, and we paid for our SS and Medicare benefits dumbo.
I'd sooner end Welfare, Medicaid, and all the democrat programs rife with fraud.

No, you don't. You simply screech, "MORE, MORE, MORE!" when anyone mentions taxes.

You're projecting.

Did your welfare payments arrive today?

Dude… if you pay your car bill but owe $40k in credit card bills you don’t get to keep your car. You under paid operating the country by $40T. You saved nothing. Burying your head in the sand like a child and screaming you paid SS doesn’t make it so. You left $40T behind you. You saved nothing. It’s not hard to put together.

You obviously don't know what a "deadbeat" is.

You are a deadbeat. See above.

I stand by what I said. The boomer generation is the worst generation by far. Deficit spending, unnecessary wars we lose, life expectancy started reducing under their watch, divorce rates out of control.

History will not be kind to the deadbeat boomers.

They have 60% of the senate today and still 40% of the house. No other generation is close. Boomers rule. They also ruin.

SS is unfunded welfare. We owe $40T. There is no money for you.

youre ignoring the topic and making personal attacks because you cant refute my argument,,

if you paid into the system its not welfare when you collect from what you paid into,,

$40T debt. You saved nothing. Pretending like there are two buckets is a fantasy. There is just money we have and owe and we owe $40T and have none.

Dude, you don't know WTF you are talking about.
Social Security is separate from the Federal Budget, not one ****!ng Federal dollar was borrowed for SS.
Medicare is designed such that it is partly paid for with taxes and partly on the Federal budget.

That $40T debt you keep whining about was "borrowing" to pay for defense/wars, Welfare, Medicaid, Foreign Aid, and other things like fraud.

You are a deadbeat. See above.

You have no clue what a "deadbeat" is.

I stand by what I said. The boomer generation is the worst generation by far. Deficit spending, unnecessary wars we lose, life expectancy started reducing under their watch, divorce rates out of control.

Obama, Biden and Trump added the most to the debt. Don't blame boomers, blame stupid politicians.

They have 60% of the senate today and still 40% of the house. No other generation is close. Boomers rule. They also ruin.

That $40T debt was generated over the last 25 years. This congress or the next will need to deal with it.

My recommended new revenue streams to start paying down the debt are:
1. Add a 4% Federal Sales Tax on all sales (gains ~$400b/yr)
2. Add a 2% financial transaction tax on ALL financial buy/sell transactions (stocks, bonds, derivatives, bitcoin, etc.) (gains $180b/yr)
3. Remove the cap on SS tax, and raise the ages from 62/67 to 63/68 (saves SS)
4. Remove Capital Gains tax break (39% to 20%) gain is ordinary income. ($100b/yr gained)
5. Tariff revenue $350b a year goes to only debt reduction.

Added together, $400b+$180b+$100b+$350b = $1T/yr to only be applied to debt reduction.

its about a fair tax system not your feelings,,

50% pay little or nothing with some taking more than theyre putting in,,

thats the definition of deadbeat and not paying their fair share,,
