Whoever voted for this idiot should be exterminated. She is about as smart as Anderson Cooper.

She's a birdbrain. We're going to get all sorts of gems of stupidity from her over the next two years.

Thoughts like this never enter her head. Either that or she believes totalitarian state power should be used to force people to remain and pay the taxes.

As far as leftist memes go, that one is pretty funny and in the top 10th percentile.

They should be. But more likely they will bestow her an honorary professorship in the next year.

Exactly!

Rich people don't stay rich by voluntarily giving all of their money away. They find a way to remain rich.

On the flip-side, brokedicks will always remain brokedicks. Not because of bad luck...or "greedy capitalist". It's because they perpetually make poor financial decisions, which is the reason they are brokedicks in the first place.

She's so far left and insane that I can't help but wonder if she's secretly pro-MAGA and ran against the previous incumbent Democrat so she can sabotage the Dems 2020 chances

Please tell me that a sitting US congresswoman did NOT use the phrase "tippie tops" during an interview on national TV.

That's literally how it works now. That top 1% pays a massive chunk of this nation's collected taxes

This little CBO graph is completely ignored by liberals, but shows that the percentage of the tax burden carried by the rich is greater than the percentage of the income they receive.

The good news is that our representatives in Congress never intend themselves to be affected by the tax laws they pass, so they put in loopholes for themselves. As long as citizens are able to exploit the same loopholes, we’ll always be able to give marxists a fat middle finger.

It's pretty much meaningless and wouldn't raise any revenue

Anyone making 8 figures a year isn't reporting it all as ordinary income

ETA - with a few exceptions like top tier professional athletes

But most people with that type of income aren't reporting it all as ordinary wages

What's stopping leftists from doing this voluntarily? I've been told all conservatives are uneducated hicks so surely none of them are in this tax bracket.

Yep, raising taxes to 70% is just an "anything". What's next? Her buying a pack of gum getting a thread created.

/sarcasm

Memes like that require a shred of truth.
