Trump's National Debt Insanity.

[Highlight]

As everybody knows, Trump says he wants to lower the National Debt. And he wants to do it by giving tax breaks to the wealthy. As if some "trickle down" BS is going to solve that problem. That is pure insanity. Or maybe you could call it evil. The choice is yours. I will tell you how things stand. The U.S. is around 36 trillion in debt. The top 1% in the U.S. owns around 49 trillion. The top 50% in the U.S. owns around 156 trillion. The bottom 50% in the U.S. owns around 4 trillion. Who can be insane or evil enough to believe that the bottom 50% who own 4 trillion are going to be "trickled down" upon enough to pay off 36 trillion.

There is only one way to pay off the National Debt. TAX THE SHIT OUT OF THE WEALTHY!!! Or how about this. Outright seize 36 trillion from the top 50% and pay off our National Debt with it. The top 50% can then decide how to divide up the remaining 117 trillion between them.

Moron.

The irony is that over the last 15 years, it never once occurred to label the spending under Democrat administrations as "debt insanity."

Threads like these are the least geniune, because most of the leftists who post them were present when it was going on.

why not go after the working middle class too .. after all they make up a large portion of the 50% that have a combined total of 156 trillion ..

The last time this nation was debt free was in 1835 under Andrew Jackson that lasted for one year. For 188 years and counting we have been running up the national debt under Republican and Democrat presidents and with Democrats and Republicans controlling Congress. Anyone who thinks this debt can be fixed by just taxing the rich more or just cutting spending is living in a fantasy world.

Pointing out trump's insanity should not surprise anyone. What could you call someone who said Biden was killed years ago, and was replaced with clones and robots, other than crazy?

Put your money where your mouth is. Tell me what is moronic about what I said.

 

[hjmick]

Don't give this schmuck attention, it's not worth your time.


I'll tell you how this thread will go... no matter what you post, no matter how factual, you will be wrong, Lielight will be right.

I see my thread flew right over your head. If they taxed the wealthy, they would have had all the money they needed.
Neither would there be a National debt.

I'm not sure, but I think that top 50% included the top 1%. Though I could be wrong.

The 156 trillion I quoted for the wealth of the top 50% isn't a fantasy. It is a reality. Look it up for yourself. As for cutting spending, what do you think we should do without. Doctors? Nurses? Teachers? Scientists? The Military? Etc. etc. etc.

Forget it, you're dealing with Trump cult loonies. Trump could empty their bank accts, leave them penniless, lock them & their families up & burn their house to the ground & they'd still grab their ankles for him.

Dealing with these nutters is pointless.

You said this in the OP:
"There is only one way to pay off the National Debt. TAX THE SHIT OUT OF THE WEALTHY!!! Or how about this. Outright seize 36 trillion from the top 50% and pay off our National Debt with it. The top 50% can then decide how to divide up the remaining 117 trillion between them."

1. Before Reagan the top tax rate was 70%. All it did was make tax attorneys and lobbyists wealthy.

2. Reagan cut the top rate to 28% and got more revenue.

3. We need to eliminate itemized deductions. 93% of us use the standard deduction, that should be 100%. No capital gains tax break, add a transaction tax on all financial transactions, add a Remittance Tax on all money sent out of the US to pay for the wall and ICE, remove the cap on SS, make Welfare a 2-year lifetime max like Clinton had, make Medicaid 50/50 with states, keep the Tariffs, etc. Then cut spending to the bone to get to a surplus to pay down the Debt. With interest at $1b we'd need a $2T or $3T surplus to make a dent in the Debt.

4. You want to "seize" wealth. The Constitution has the 4th Amendment that protects us against unreasonable seizures. Your ideas are worse than Hitler, Stalin, Mao, or even Putin are doing. You would have no one left who knows how to run a business or pay taxes.

What do I call that?

Irrelevant to the topic.

If you can do little more than divert from your own shortcomings, that must mean I nailed you on the merits.

Good evening.

How is giving it to the wealthy? Why can’t you fkers ever explain it

My shortcomings don't include believing in robot clones. The president of the US believes his predecessor is a robot clone. Are you really going to try to pretend that doesn't matter? That's nuts, I don't care who you are.

Because they are LYING out their filthy festering lying mouths that's why.
