People in both political parties better watch out for those who know how to use Twitter:

So in Cortez's universe, the kid who found a way to shorten the chore time for all kids and made millions off this idea, all the while employing thousands and giving others more time to be productive in other things, deserves to be taxed at an astronomical rate simply for having and implementing a highly profitable idea.

The problem is, she's lying... They aren't just coming for the billionaires $... They are coming for everyone's $... This song has been played over & over throughout history.

Yes...because no billionaire ever started with a $10/hr job.

They all stole it or inherited it (from someone in their family that stole it...obviously) so they should be punished by the government and the money given to those that are less evil.

Is everyone to the right of unabashed socialists always labeled as "far right"?

AOC:


"You're poor so it's ok for you to not pay your "fair shair" or anything at all because that shadowy selfish rich bastard has more than you and even though he pays more taxes than anyone, it's not enough to off set your 0 contribution. And that's not fair to you."

Walker is arguing against the lunacy of it, but he needs to speak in facts as opposed to nonsense. Here are the proper rebuttals

1) rates are already progressive, such that the top 1% earn 35% of all income but pay 59% of all taxes.

2) The pool this rate would impact is very small, and would not generate the revenue necessary to push her non-sensical radical agenda

3) historically rates at this level are seldom realized because it becomes cheaper to engage in tax avoidance strategies

Then the billionaire in town stops starting new businesses because of his increased taxes, closes up the businsses he has in town, and most of the town’s citizens become unemployed.

all republican elected officials should have 1 response to her every time she Tweets at them:

“AOC that’s a great argument. I’d love to challenge this and other platforms you hold over a nationally televised debate. Please pick a time and place”

If every single one of them do it she’d eventually have to step up and do it or stop tweeting at them. Win win for Republicans.

Imagine you and your sister do chores. You do really hard ones and she does easy ones. She gets $10 and you get $50.

When you get home, your parents take $30 from you, give $5 to her and keep the difference.

Imagine if you did chores and after all that, you kept $20 and your sister kept $10 with $5 earned chore tax credit.

You want to make your room nicer and have enough room for your friend to sleep over. Your parents charge you $10 to put in a sleeping bag, but your sister protests to the “family board of city supervisors” that you aren’t providing enough affordable sleeping space for her friends. Your parents take your $10 and rule against you, citing fairness in sleeping space. You then offer to provide a sleeping bag to your sister free of charge if you can just have one; your parents still say no.

She doesn’t know what marginal taxes are


Hint: what she’s talking about has nothing to do with marginal taxes
