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

That broad is so fricking stupid.
This is your idea of Twitter wit?

Well, Walker at least gets it.....

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.

I love how, in her world, there's always an evil rich person lurking in the shadows

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.

It's hard to encourage innovation and achievement by punishing it.

It's a fallacy that people think they're entitled to 70% of your shite?

She just learned about marginal tax rates like 5 days ago now she's the subject matter expert?

Her useful idiots thrive on boogeymen and emotion. That’s what makes her dangerous.

And AOC, with her immense intellect, proceeds to take a base analogy and treat it as a case study?
I mean. . .what?

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

Why do billionaires deserve to pay a greater percentage of their income than someone who makes 20k a year?
For the record, I make good money and I feel that I should pay a higher rate than people who make $50k a year because I already have everything I want and need. And trust me, people making $10 million a year don't care about the money. It's just the measuring stick for success. Money for the ultra rich is about ego, not about what it can buy.
