This has been covered multiple tiimes. There's plenty for you to backread on the topic if you'd like to learn anything but something tells me that intelligence isn't something with which you're particularly interested.

    But the support from millionaires, some of whom would presumably pay the tax, shows that some millionaires are willing to accept higher taxes amidst growing concern over inequality and soaring fortunes of the rich.
    There's really not much else to discuss because there's no telling how many of those people would be effected. That's the first and easiest part of this.

    It's really just common sense. People want taxes higher on rich people as long as rich is defined as one dollar more than they make.

    Remember all those billionaires that promised money for Notre Dame? Saw an article today that not one has actually donated. Probably just a delay. It's probably not because they're having second thoughts on what they said.

    Again, it's just that easy. This is paint by number. You don't have to be a genius to understand how people act with their money.

    Governor of IL and current richest politician keeps offshore accounts and had toilets removed from one of his houses to duck $250k in taxes. He also SAYS he supports a millionaire tax in IL. Well, I would support something too if all of my money was offshore and it was cheaper to trash a place than pay the taxes. At that point, who cares what the taxes are. You're ducking all of them anyways.

    Someone has interest “in” something, not “with something.”

    For someone talking about intellect the irony is very strong.

    I guess I'd think that Drakan could answer for herself. In addition, you always seem to jump in with the most miniscule of grammar points while almost never addressing some of the major points in this thread, specifically when it comes to my posts.

    Anyway, yeah. I was typing quickly and watching TV. My bad. Sometimes I fat-finger a word or two as well. Thanks for swooping in and fixing the mistake. I don't think anyone else would have understoo what I wrote otherwise.

    I chime in every once in a blue but I wouldn’t characterize most of your posts in this thread as “points”, in fact I have a hard time ever understanding what your position is other than “ Libs”.

    we’re right on track for the ‘we need to start slashing into all the programs that benefit the poor, elderly, disabled, women, etc. because we can’t afford it’ phase.

    “The U.S. Treasury saw a 31% drop in corporate tax revenues last year, almost twice the decline official budget forecasters had predicted. Receipts were projected to rebound sharply this year, but so far they’ve only continued to fall.”

    Military spending will always be very high as long as the U.S. is responsible for keeping world order. Dangerous world out there.

    America could significantly cut it’s defense spending and still have the most powerful military on earth. I actually agree with Trump that other western countries need to foot more of the bill for their defense.

    Warren's native American thing has none of that. You look like the ass to keep bringing it up. Like, ok, she apologized for it, now what? Can't vote for her because of that? At least with the emails thing you could pretzel your mind into connecting it to her job as president.
    My hot take for the last year is that there’s a serious risk to Trump that Warren wins the nomination and he becomes so fixated on the Pocahontas taunts that he can’t focus on anything else driving her appeal https://t.co/RrCHqGJsPg

    I agree with this hot take.
