funny that she brought up Roosevelt as a hero figure. he literally started modern capitalism. the irony is just wow...
it's a great plan if you want to encourage the countries elite to pack up and leave. do you think Elon Musk would ever have moved to America with those rules in place? think any brilliant mind with money looking to start a company would come here any longer? the flame of economic power would be destroyed over night with such idiocy. obama was someone I liked. but this bitch makes obama look like a right wing extremist. she's so far left she's fallen over..

She's just catch phrases n buzz words bro...she has no clue how to do anything or get it done. She's an Instagram star....that's who people follow now...lol
The marginal tax rate was 90% under Eisenhower, a Republican. And nobody was running away from the country.
different world.
did you see what happened recently when the fed introduced a tiny interest rate hike? the stock market fucken drained of liquidity in a matter of 2 weeks. we are only up to 3% and you might think it's the great depression the way the market tanked. can you imagine breaking news of all bank CEO's, hedge funds, business owners, major corporations are about to be forced to give 70% of their personal earnings to the gov each year... lol. you would see 2008 all over again times 10.

Have you seen what the wealth distribution was in the mid 20th century and what it is now? It's insane how much the 0.1% owns now and how little everyone else does, and how much better it used to be.
The uber-rich have you guys so bamboozled that when they come to steal your candy, you reach out and hand it to them. Their victory is complete. Daylight robbery, looting this country while the middle class is standing on the sidelines cheering.
If you are making 5 or 10 mil a year, you can pay 90% on everything you make over that. Nobody needs that 11th fucking million.

I'm not bamboozled. I understand the wealth gap perfectly.
You made my point in terms of it being a different world. It should never have gotten this bad I agree with you. But it's not the eisinhower days anymore.
The rich are so powerful at this point they will bring the country to it's knees before they give away that much wealth. I know you'll probably say the country is already on it's knees but things can always get much much worse.
It won't apply to you unless you are in the 1% or more. If you are, you can afford it. If you are not, be thankful there are politicians like Ocasio-Cortez who are not themselves in that bracket, so they are not afraid to buck the status quo and do good for the common person.
You think McConnell or even Pelosi will be for taxing the uber-rich? They are uber-rich themselves. Don't get fooled by the fat cats telling you that increasing the marginal tax rates for multi-millionaires will cause doomsday. They have completely hoodwinked everyone and turned America into the biggest swindle ever perpetrated.

And I say that is bullshit. Of couse the rich politicians and their even richer paymasters will say that increasing the marginal tax rates for the highest brackets will be Armageddon. And I say nonsense. The 1% or the 0.1% are running the biggest racket on the planet, robbing this country blind. I read a paper recently on the amount of wealth that is being transferred just in the recent tax cuts from the middle class into the pockets of the uber-rich. It is obscene and like the frog in the pot on the stove, the middle class doesn't even realize it is being taken to the cleaners.
Anybody that doesn't understand the old saying of "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" is an idiot. I get exactly what you're saying. I'm not arguing it.
But I think you're crazy if you don't think a financial atom bomb would hit Wall Street and level Main Street in the process.
It would make the 2008 financial crisis seem like a summer breeze.
Try taking 70% of a pitbulls food. See if the teeth don't come out. You do not walk away from that fight unscathed...
