"There's plenty of money in the world. Its just in the wrong hands" ** -- TpkeHoo 01/14/2019 11:00AM "Philosopher King" BS ** -- MasterRusty 01/14/2019 6:16PM There's probably something to that statement. -- KaHOOnah 01/14/2019 6:08PM What he said wasn't great -- Fuzzy Dunlop 01/14/2019 1:00PM Except he's been asked about it and has doubled (by now triple, quadruple, -- CharlestonSC 01/14/2019 1:23PM He's made that point directly -- Fuzzy Dunlop 01/14/2019 1:36PM That's a shocker. 3/4 of Americans think other people -- BocaHoo91 01/14/2019 2:29PM You mean extremely populist position. Gee, 3/4's of Americans favor someone -- Hoodafan 01/14/2019 2:22PM So? It doesn't make it the wrong thing to do, either -- Fuzzy Dunlop 01/14/2019 2:28PM You just defined populist. What about the 47% or so that don't pay any Fed -- Hoodafan 01/14/2019 2:42PM "You can't get more fair than that" -- Fuzzy Dunlop 01/14/2019 2:51PM That is a progressive plan. It's 5% additional on everyone above poverty -- Hoodafan 01/14/2019 3:04PM So you're saying that 47% pay no taxes? That's bullshit and you know it. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 01/14/2019 3:26PM According to the WSJ article I linked, the bottom 60% of filers -- BocaHoo91 01/14/2019 4:03PM It's pretty freaked up. But every time someone cuts taxes on the upper -- Shenhoo 01/14/2019 6:55PM Pay no Fed Income taxes. That's what this populist position is talking -- Hoodafan 01/14/2019 3:36PM Thank you for acknowledging the obvious. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 01/14/2019 4:14PM Thank you for catching up on what I said all along. :-) ** -- Hoodafan 01/14/2019 4:33PM The 60% is aggregate income taxes. So at the upper end of the 60% -- BocaHoo91 01/14/2019 4:04PM Thanks for clarifying. That makes a lot more sense. ** -- Hoodafan 01/14/2019 4:07PM Here's a WSJ article on the progressiveness of our tax code -- BocaHoo91 01/14/2019 2:39PM I’m confused - populism is still bad, right? -- ResistHoo 01/14/2019 2:34PM That group does bear a much larger share of the tax burden. The -- BocaHoo91 01/14/2019 2:31PM I'll put you on the other 25 percent of that poll, then -- Fuzzy Dunlop 01/14/2019 2:39PM I view those as paying the same RATE. Obviously the $500k/$100k person -- BocaHoo91 01/14/2019 3:45PM 75% of VA residents say we should double the tax rate for NOVA residents! -- Hoodafan 01/14/2019 2:51PM We vote to keep our money and let you downstate shitkickers fend for -- WahooRQ 01/14/2019 3:38PM I suppose the historical weight of deeming yourself the arbiter of such -- CharlestonSC 01/14/2019 12:03PM Agree! I'm working hard to try to fix that, though. ** -- ResistHoo 01/14/2019 11:24AM At least he's honest about his goals. ** -- Hoodafan 01/14/2019 11:12AM "Corporations need to pay their fair share" ** -- Tuckahokie 01/14/2019 11:09AM I'm fine with corporations paying less. I'd like to see the corporation -- Late 80s Hokie 01/14/2019 11:24AM Out of curiosity, what form would you like the higher taxes on -- BocaHoo91 01/14/2019 12:56PM I can't say that I have a comprehensive tax plan, but -- Late 80s Hokie 01/14/2019 1:35PM I'm fine with the top marginal rates being reset to the previous levels -- BocaHoo91 01/14/2019 2:18PM
