87,000 is not the rich

The cities are the economic engines of their states.

Cities don't create any wealth, they concentrate it from outside.

 

[Vegasgiants]

If I needed a hairnet for work I would more than likely be voting for Democrats.

So you got fired? Lol

The democrats would disagree with you.

Uh....no. They are the financial powerhouses of each state

If you only knew...lol

No they wouldn't. 400,000 is the mark

 

[Big Bend Texas]

87,000 is not the rich

The top ten starts at 152k.

 

[Vegasgiants]

If you only knew...lol

Hang in there bud

 

[SweetTea]

No they wouldn't. 400,000 is the mark

And how much should those who make that much be taxed?

 

[Vegasgiants]

The top ten starts at 152k.

You dont get to near 90% until you hit 87,000

 

[Big Bend Texas]

No they wouldn't. 400,000 is the mark.

And when it began it was only the top 1%.

The problem is it's never enough.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Yes,despite Democrat policies, not because of them. Since when do Democrats like big business?

So… not poverty stricken hell holes.

 

[Vegasgiants]

And when it began it was only the top 1%.

The problem is it's never enough.

The problem is it's never too little for you guys

 

[Vegasgiants]

And how much should those who make that much be taxed?

45%

 

[Big Bend Texas]

Ok so I was wrong. The top ten only carry 72% of the total income tax burden.

Why should they be paying any more than 10% of the burden?

 

[Big Bend Texas]

The problem is it's never too little for you guys

Well it's their money, not ours.

Why should they be paying any more than 10% of the burden?

Because they can well afford it and it would be better for Americans

 

[Big Bend Texas]

45%

Why?

 

[Vegasgiants]

Well it's their money, not ours.

No its ours actually. If we say pay up.... you pay up
