income is just the vector, we can talk about the Warren 2% wealth tax which I fully support. If you have 50 million or more, you have to pay 2%. Sounds pretty fooking reasonable to me.

Awe. the old trickle down reaganomics trope. If the rich are not rich, then it won't come my way! Does not work that way and has never worked that way. The best capital to start a company is to save it it yourself. If you were able to save money its a lot more direct than hoping some old rich...

Well said, but I would also like to add that its not just the 1%. The lower 90% of just the 1% group feels poor relative to the top 10%, etc etc. Its' this stretching effect the starts with the 3 more wealthy people that own 50% of the entire country. This stretching effect have a gravity on the...

Yep. I evicted my neighbor because he was smoking indoors when I had a new born. Then I went to city council and got smoking in multi -unit complexes in my city banned. I'm cool if you smoke, but you gotta do it outside if you share a wall I'm really a jerk to jerks :)

its really simple Yup, which means I pay less or at least having more services for me to use (i'll take what I can get). Do you like paying less or do you like sicking up for the rich? its cool if you do, we seem to have a lot of temporally embarrassed millionaires in this country. :)

Correct and good point, so are you for un-banning full auto small and large guns ?

wait, this guy? https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/andy-ngo-right-wing-troll-antifa-877914/ to the point:

Are you arguing that guns are safe or you don't want your rights taking away? I understand the latter and I think in honor of parents who lost kids to gun violence, I;'m personally okay jumping through a few more hoops out of empathy for my fellow Americans. Buying a gun should not be easier...

100 years ago? It's not better than it was 40 years ago! Sure, saving is great advice for anyone if they can even save. Many can't. You're providing upper middle class solutions to everyone? I just want to know why people that make 612k a year stop paying more taxes. Are we saying when you...

okay, but I'm not asking how to solve the decidit problem. I'm asking how solve the economic inequality problem. :\ Lets face it, the dollar does not go as far as it did 20 years ago because standard of living is outpacing pay and has been for some time.

The progress tax rate should go up to 99.999% as you approach the GDP of the entire country. Its purely hypothetical but it should be a function with a curve, not brackets at all. First, I get you feel that "the government does a terrible job with expenditures." Think of it like a pie. We are...

You have a point, but i think in practice the income levels are so diverse in this country a flat tax would really hurt the poor. I mean the tax would have to be 20% or 25% to even come close to what the government makes and that would be way higher than the poor pay now. And they already cant...

They can with private sale exemption, so why not close that loophole with universal background check?

The strawman argument --- and I'm gonna knock is down in 2 seconds. Car related fatalities and injuries have gone down with improvements to seatbelts, airbags, steel frames, safety measurement devices and enforcement of DUIs. <-- all things regulated by the US government in addition to a basic...

Glad you feel that way and I'm sure you feel more safe when criminals that break into your home don't have a gun because they can't buy one :)

Why do we force people to get drivers license?

Well, then why do the top 10% of people own 76% of the wealth? There is clearly a gap and its in fact growing and has been for decades. If you don't like big government, I understand, lets just take the simple model and call the taxes a pie. Its going to be some aggregated number we all pay...

You don't seem to be reading what I'm writing man. Answer my SMG question. How many deaths to SMG's cause each year and ask yourself why are they still banned?

Under the current tax code you me and pretty much everyone except the 1% 'ers bare the full burden of the tax brackets. 10% $0 $0 $0 12% $9,700 $19,400 $13,850 22% $39,475 $78,950 $52,850 24% $84,200 $168,400 $84,200 32% $160,725 $321,450 $160,700 35% $204,100 $408,200 $204,100 37% $510,300...

"problem with liberals" maybe the problem is with stereotypes no? I don't care about defending anyone in my home. If someone was gonna break in in the middle of the night intent on killing me, then I'm dead with or without a gun, It won't matter. I'm asleep! 2nd Amendment also asserts a well...
