Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “New Green Deal”

[MadMax]

Sox is a fool but at least he hasn't turned into a full on troll like some of the others.

I compliment you and this is what I get?

Sorry, was meant for the gentleman before you.

We’ve hit a place where in our lexicon calling someone a fool is complementing them. Think about that for a minute. Strange times.

The best part for me was how much I agreed it was a compliment.

It’s actually a terrible insult

 

He actually believes and supports Trump

Way better than supporting AOC and these other communist idiots.

The only rate that matters is the effective rate you end up actually paying; of course that's never the rate that's gets bandied about. Even if that 70% rate was implemented, it would only apply to earnings above a very high cutoff point.

earnings above 10M annually

Socialism has failed every time and everywhere it has been tried.

Except for SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Public Schools, Interstates, etc, etc, in the US.  Or similar programs all over the world.  

 

Simple Tux.

Most of our allies (pre-Trump) have far higher tax rates and far more sweeping welfare programs.

 

Is the UK, Europe's center of banking (up until Brexit), socialist? Canada? France?

 

No one is talking about becoming the USSR or Cuba or Venezuela. Having social programs does not make a country socialist. 

 

The real problem is that Republicans have been throwing the word socialist around as if they know what it means. It’s been going on for at least a decade now. Anything to the left of Fox News is socialism to them.

Well actually there are some in the Dem party, maybe a bunch, that want to go even further than the European countries go.  Like AOC and here stupidity.  Taking over healthcare and having massive regulation and taxes is socialism and not supported by the majority of Americans.  Now say libs wanted to be more like other countries that are more socialist?  Then why mention BS like 70% tax rates?  Europe and Australia are around 45% for top earners.  Justify your case with that.  Sweden and Denmark are close to 60% and these libs are higher than that.  By the way the US is now at 35% so it wouldn't sound so ignorant or be as big of a stretch to consider 45%.

 

I'd feel way better emulating Canada and could sit and listen to the arguments on both sides.  I refuse to take seriously these socialist Dems who have no clue.
