Warren: Yeah, We'll Raise Your Taxes If We Regain Power

[Slade3200]

The SALT legislation was sloppy and didn’t take into account cost of living in places like New York and California. That said you bring up fair critiques on the progressive tax agenda. Just wish people like the OP would present the facts in a honest way

The cost of living in those areas is high in part because of progressive policies fueled by high progressive style taxes.

Add in laws designed to make building new housing as expensive as possible, and you get your blue coastal cities.

Yeah I live in Cali and Texas so I understand the political differences and think Cali can learn much from Texas. But the cost of living are so high more so because of supply and demand. The market is valued and what people will pay for it. Simple as that. Taxes do have an effect but not as much as S&D

I think you underestimate the amount of local taxes one pays in places like NYC.

How am I underestimating?

Sales taxes, state and city. all the fees added to services and your bills, from your cell phone to your electric bill. add in all the permits and licenses businesses need which adds to their costs and you start to get an idea of what escalates prices.

I agree but the major driver of the cost of living is real estate and rental prices. We might be paying an extra buck a gallon for gas and a buck more for a happy meal, but the significant expense is housing.

and a lot of that is self inflicted via zoning laws and building codes that have no other purpose but to drive up prices or prevent building of denser units.

50-90% tax rates not out of question.

Elizabeth Warren eyes 50% tax rate, says Dems will end Trump tax cuts if they take back Congress

And eliminate 1.5 trillion from the deficits the tax cuts created.

FakeDave lying his ass off again. Tax revenue is up and Dave is a lying sack of shit.

There are definitely obstacles design to prevent growth, especially in affluent areas. But it all comes back to supply and demand. That’s ultimately what determines the costs

I am already paying taxes. KCMO has so many random taxes, it is crazy.

Fortunately, I am selling my business and close August 1st. It will be someone else's headache.

50-90% tax rates not out of question.

Elizabeth Warren eyes 50% tax rate, says Dems will end Trump tax cuts if they take back Congress

Let’s be honest here with your headlines mr weatherman. She wants to raise taxes on the top earners and corporation and use that money to help the middle class and poor. I don’t neccessary agree with warrens plans but you can at least present them honestly.

(edit) - not the same as the stories headline no. but she did say she'd raise taxes all through the story. (/edit)

"Elections have consequences. Just Senator Elizabeth Warren, who suggested that a 50% to 90% personal income tax rate for Americans is not out of the question. Warren made the shocking admission in an interview with CNBC.

Warren also promised that Democrats will end President Trump’s tax cuts if they take control of Congress in November 2018."

i really don't care how much you make, 50% and higher is just stupid. you're making it necessary for our richest and brightest to leave the country or take other measures to protect what they earn. this "entitlement" to others work is killing any motivation people have *to* work at times. we do need to figure out how to lower the costs of education and invest in our own people somehow. not socialism and give it away - no one respects what they are given in as much as what they work for and earn. period.

but to your point - this wasn't weathermans headline - i clicked it and this is the one the link / page generates and that they use on their own site. we're told to use those headlines in here so people don't go making stuff up and i'd prefer it like that but not my call.

there is simply no good way to present warren and NOT make her look the fool.

They all want to live in the greatest country on earth by none of them want to pay for it.

Twenty trillion in debt is not going to pay itself off.

But raising taxes will?

Nope. You know as well as I do raising taxes isn't the way to go. Hell you get more money back into the economy by lowering taxes.

As for the debt, raising taxes won't help that at all. The only thing that will is a Govt. on a budget.

Tax cuts in times of a recession are good. Tax cuts that just raise the debt in other times is stupid.

HW Bush had to raise tasxes.

If you are going to spend it, you need to fund it.

Since when?
and when are we reforming entitlements......because nothing else matters.

The ACA was fully funded.

The Republiucans don't know the meaning of being funded.

fully funded? The ACA didn't have a public option, so how was it fully funded?

Wow. Just wow.

The ACA pays subsidies to those who met certain guidelines. That is outgoing money. It was funded through a series of taxes & fees.

Are they up as much as they would be without the cuts?

Wages go up, taxes paid go up. Don't credit El Cheeto's tax cut for that.

Ta cuts to the poorer & lower middle class spur the economy. Those tens of millions Trump gave himself are not.

This is what is wrong with the tax cuts. The rich & well off corporations don't need them.

Wow, you are a greedy little bastard that is completely clueless. Bad combo.

Tax cuts for people that pay virtually no taxes spur the economy? You must have attended a government mandated public school. You clearly took the short bus.

I see you resort to mocking disabled & mentally disadvantaged children like a good little POS Trumpette.

How am I greedy when I don't like the tax cuts? If I were a greedy little **** like you, I'd be cheering for those tax cuts & not caring about the deficits they will create. That is you,. YOU like this, not me.

Sure, A lower middle class family's ta cut might not be that high. But, there are a lot more of them thbat those in Trump's bracket.

These people will spend that tax cut in the economy. The wealthy, not so much.

I did attend a public school before I attended top universities & earned my degrees. This is why I know shit & you don't.

If you recall the Obama tax cuts, they were centered on working people - not the wealthy. Not wealthy corporations. They were given to those that will spend it, not bank it.

Trump is as ******* moron as well as hos ignorant uneducated followers. You are proof.

She's so silly she thinks tax-increases are a winning platform.

It worked for Bill Clinton.
