How the Constitution reads:





How the Democrats view the Constitution:

I'm shocked that a Socialist wants to redistribute someone else's wealth.

I bet if you changed it to any politician worth more than $1 Million, then Bernie would STFU.

The measure would direct new tax revenue toward one-time $3,000 payments for individuals in households earning $150,000 or less, meaning a family of four could receive up to $12,000.

Why the $150,000 cutoff? That’s just a couple of middle class workers in many major metro areas. Two teachers with a little experience, nurse and a welder, etc.

So dems aren’t for the rule of law now? Because SCOTUS held that a federal wealth tax was unconstitutional nearly 100 years ago.

A lot of right wingers were cheering Trump's $2,000 per person "tariff dividend." This is the back side of the same coin.

---

The rationale was to reimburse for the increase in prices. Re-balancing trade was thought to be necessary and after the fact has had minimal negative impact on most people who don't farm, and by the way he did help farmers, but he didn't send $2000.00 to everyone.

Are you not able to admit tariffs worked? They worked so well dimtards in congress ran to the courts to stop them.

Now what is the rationale for the billionaire money giveaway?

I remember when Millionaires were the bad guys.

Funny to see most people that would benefit from 3k be against it because they don't want to tax billionaires.

3k to households is a better use of tax funds than the billions of dollars from the common mans taxes that go to foreign countries or to making one interceptor missile to protect Qatar

Because people with any semblance of self-worth don’t feel entitled to other people’s money. Tell us…why do you feel entitled to other people’s money? What have you done to deserve it? Be specific.

Good lord. Your knowledge of how taxes work is pathetic. This is a new tax being proposed. You and I agree the spending is the problem. Not the revenue.

Free money is bad economic policy.

The right side of the political aisle used to believe this. Conservatives still do.

Call it a "Trump Rebate" and there will be universal support here.

Naw, frick that household income cap
