Many of the ultra rich would be just fine with higher tax rates and have come out and said it.

Many liberals would like higher taxes for the rich and even going a down a little in order to create programs that would help people such as expanding medicare or the fact that social security exists.

Most conservatives are against government programs to help others.
Secondly, why are trying to force your morality on others?

We shouldn’t have a system that leaves the needs of the deserving poor to the voluntary whim of the rich and powerful

If you did what she did, given all of the circumstances of it being the US capitol, etc, would you expect to get shot?

If I were the murderer, I'd expect treatment in kind. Every day of my life in wait for a hot eternity.

Agreed
That's why he's a Democrat!
Which brings the question to you. Why are you a Democrat?

It was unfortunate, but the ultimate, “play stupid games, win stupid prizes” she was actively coming through a barricaded window.

If true, then you are stupid.
Only idiots want to give D.C. their money instead of spending it on their family.
I hope you don't have children.

CEO #1: We promised you all raises. You will still get them, but they may be cut.
CEO #2: We are firing 4/5ths of our employees
Both are example of budgetary cost savings
Somewhat true. But in scenario 2 are you just firing or reducing head count capacity overall?
You might have actually increased your expenses there if you have to rehire.
What were really talking about here though I'd the difference in financial budget planning and live action.
Congress is responsible for setting the budget. when they plan the budget slashing growth is definitely a cost saving for that activity. It also means that with inflation, population growth, and economic growth expectations they are effectively shrinking that part of the government overtime.

No. Especially after the other cops behind her didn’t find it necessary to shoot her.

Who do you take from now? Corporations? Are you aware that corporations are just people? And a lot of average folks own these corporations. If you have a retirement account or participate in a pension plan, you're one of those average folks who has an ownership stake.

I take it you don't understand how taxes work.

Besos model is to take losses for as long as possible and grow revenue until eventually he just cant expand anymore.
Reality is we probably need to tighten up business expense rules, reduce tax deductions credits for corporations, and then cut then cut the rate hell probably in half and you'd still increase the effective rate. There is that much pork in the tax credit game for corporations.
It's hard to even compare our corporate tax rate to other countries because of the pork.

Funny. It’s always “tax the rich”, never “help the poor.”
