Goddamn, that's some extra retarded logic

60 or 70% on income above $10 million sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Why is it reasonable?

I think 60-70% over $50k is reasonable.

You should be embarrassed for even thinking you had a point there.

Someone please tip off this fruit loop that the Fed Gov't doesn't need to take money from all of us peasants....after all they are the all powerful and all knowing Feds... with the stroke of a pen they can take whatever they want from people, businesses, states, etc... then do with it as they, our betters, see fit.

If she wants to run around like an idiot, why not give her some pointy scissors to carry while she does it?

Anyone making $10 million a year will hire a good CPA who will figure out how to dodge this.

Let's try this again.


Anyone remember this: Obama Uses IRS to Target Tea Party Groups

Then we add in a little of this: IRS Can Revoke Passport for Tax Reasons

And to wrap it all up, we get a clown like Cortez in control, or Sanders, or Warren, or anyone of the socialist whacko's. They suddenly raise taxes on "the rich" to 70+% and where are you gonna go?

Is it really a stretch to see where the federal gov't could use the border wall against it's citizenry? Oh, and just so you remember, the TSA is guarding every airport and shipping port out of the USA. But please, by all means, run to Canada. Another stalwart of socialism that I'm sure once there, you could escape from......

60 or 70% on the income you make sounds pretty reasonable to me.

At what income do you feel that rate is unreasonable?

Why on earth would 60 or 60% EVER be considered "reasonable"? Ever? Geez. Some of you are, as my grandfather used to say, eat up with the dumbass.

False


Top marginal rates didn’t come down until 1982. Try again, piggy.

Like always anyone wanting someone to pay this rate on income is not in the same earners' bracket. Errrybody thinks the rich owe them.

Tax rates should be raised on whoever earns more than me, and adjusted as necessary as my own income goes up.

Ocasio-Cortez wants to turn America into Venezuela.

We already have a Venezuela, it's in Venezuela. Maybe she should go there.

I see a secession of states coming up. The socialists can all go live together and pool their money for the masses. The rest of us can go and enjoy our own wealth and success and tell them to frick off when they come for a hand out.
