general

why should someone pay maginally more taxes because they make more money?

why punish someone for working the system

if they can so can you

What do you want me to say gent. America is fucked and you are never fixing the handful of fundemental problems you have because of (((some people))) who happen to own (((banks)))

Billionaires don't pay taxes, that's the main problem

see though thats the lie of the american dream

You aren't actually affecting them at all, you're just fucking over the smaller people who had to work for wealth

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”

"I have low motivation so the american dream is a lie"

I think tiered tax brackets are fundamentally fine btw

just it should not be so high that earning millions is not worth it

perhaps

im sorry, im on my way to a masters in chemical engineering from university of michigan, i wasnt aware i had low motivation

like a 5% increase every 100k to a point

anything over 40% is fucking stupid

is fine

The nepotists you hate maintain power, bernie is one of them

and im being generous with saying 40

Dolf, I pay 40%

it's insane

and like, how it is handled so the first X dollars is one percent, then the next Y is another percent, and so on

is fine

it's a travesty

go to a good state without income tax

"The top marginal tax rate in 1960 was 91%, which applied to income over $200,000 (for single filers) or $400,000 (for married filers) – thresholds which correspond to approximately $1.5 million and $3 million, respectively, in today’s dollars. Approximately 0.00235% of households had income taxed at the top rate." literally during the golden age of the middle class

ok

your point?

Pohato, do you not understand, how debilitating high taxes are

am i supposed to agree with that because its the golden age?

to the people... working for it

91% is insane

91 is fucking dumb

might as well have just made it 100% then fucking commies

like, say first 100k is 30%, next 100k is 35%, next 200k is 40%, that seems fine

but 91%

fuck that

It's a jewish instinct to try to undermine his host nation

not my jewish instinct its not fuck that shit

I still have my eye on you dolf

also

the country lasted for 133 years without income being taxed, and now we are many trillions in debt with taxes

yes we know how brackets work

at least I assume everyone here knows

no one paid their taxes, so that's true

somehow i doubt they all do pika

i still love that CNN said the world is like 200 trillion in debt

like indebt to who

Mars

they are not stupid because they do not want to be taxed to hell

that's why Elon is going to blow it up

man i fucking wish we could live on pluto

Pohato, tell me, why I should consent to working for 60% of the worth of my labour let alone 9%

Higher taxes almost always fuck over the middle class

also i love the fucks comparing the feds in portland to the gestapo

because you are paying to live in a country where you have rights?

ha

HOW IS THAT NOT THE GESTAPO

ha

but why would I not, just work 1/10 of what I do now

that's my point

I would like some of those slimeballs on top to pay more than their fair share, but we need to work smarter to do that

your taxes go towards public schools, police, fire departments, should i go on?

who cares

because portland is burning their city to the ground

why would I, or any of my employees put in the work, if we reap none of the reward?

Did he just say gestapo

public schools are bad

thats how the feds arent the gestapo in portland

we had police and fire departments before taxes

the feds are staying in their FEDERAL building, its 100% self defense

I don't hate all taxes, I like roads, and schools, and sewers, and everything else that allows society to function

every single "peaceful protestor" in the street should be either arrested or shot

fuck roads

Antifa rioters getting rounded up is fine, portland is hell to live in because of thos epeople

also fuck kids

I hate, that we're treating the taxpyers as a money-printing machine

Have you not seen these seasonal antifa attacks

Minneapolis burned to the ground due to inaction

Antifa has been allowed by the police to run free for years

and their governor and mayor want 500 million to fix it
