Earl.Of.Trumps Posted January 4, 2019 #26 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Now, here is what we on the right knew we should be afraid of from one Ocasio-Cortez https://www.mediaite.com/tv/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-calls-for-super-wealthy-to-be-taxed-70-to-fund-green-new-deal/ Yessir! Right on queue, the newb leftist moonbat has created a way to "get the rich bastid's money". 70%. Cool. And like all mad, greedy socialists, she'll promptly get rich people to get their money OUT of the US and the economy and employment figures will plummet. Way to go, Alexandria, the greedy socialist dictator wannabe. It didn't take her long, eh? I told y'all, you have to really look out for the neolibs. 4 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tax rate in the US used to be 70% for the super rich. In fact, at one point it was 94%. Upping taxes in order to fund necessities like war or pull your country out of debt is something your country has done on numerous occasions, quite successfully. 2 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't even passed any legislation yet. I think it's very simple, she is a she, she is not white and she is a liberal, she meets all three requirements for the next liberal media darling, not that there is anything wrong with that. 3 1 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make 100 million dollars a year and are taxed 70%, that means you make 30 million dollars a year. And what she's talking about primarily are those who make hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

And what she's talking about primarily are those who make hundreds of millions of dollars a year. At the end of the day, they'd still be fabulously wealthy. The original idea with making the tax rate like that was to incentivize corporations into using their profits to expand production or increase worker's pay so they could deduct it as business expense and minimize the tax they pay instead of paying it out to shareholders or into the owners pockets. So if a company were to make a million in profit instead of paying a 90% tax on the million they would expand the factory, buy a new fleet of cars, modernize, give pay raises, etc. Our current system has us handing the companies profits to the shareholders who apparently like to stash them in offshore accounts. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one suggested here is anything up to 10m is just taxed normally, then anything over is subject to the 70% tax. My heart bleeds for all the millionaire welfare cases this would produce. 4 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and who was it that first cut taxes in order to stimulate the economy and raise tax revenue...? DEMOCRAT John F. Kennedy. Those democrats are long long gone. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't seem to be making many jobs with all that wealth (in many cases.) There's been a culture change - the wealthy used to fund big public projects (build libraries and give endowments to keep them open) - putting their names on a lot of things while giving back value to the community. Nowadays I don't see as much of that, though many do have foundations and support global and national projects. But yeah, making them pay a bit more wouldn't hurt us or them. Or at least closing off some of their loopholes. 2 Top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When these "rich bastids" start putting their money in other countries, you make sure to lecture them.
