Even if it's the government, it is still theft. We have examples all through history of governments stealing from its populace by means of taxation.

Bullshit. Taxation isn’t theft.

Really? So, you're saying no government in our worlds history has used taxation as means to steal from their populace? You really believe this? Wow.

Give me an example of it happening in post-Revolutionary War US.

I don't bring it up like others on here, but you suggested a 99% tax bracket. To any rational person, that is theft.

99% on income over $10 million a year. We have had 90% tax brackets in our lifetime. It’s not unheard of.



*out lifetime is not you and me personally but the general population.

Just because something has been done doesn't make it right. You do realize this, right? Any rational thinking person would agree that a 99% tax bracket is theft.

You realize that there’s bipartisan support in the population for AOC’s 70% rate on income over $10M, right?

It’s virtually the only thing the bases of both parties agree on.

Or inherited it

So when people die, you want to dictate what happens to their $ instead of honoring their wishes?
Inherited $ was still earned by somebody at some point, yes, unless it's Lottery $.

Great. Why should their kids get a huge advantage because their fathers were rich?

Because that’s the reason their parents work so hard. I work Hard so that my kids may have a better life. What a stupid statement that was Tangplay. Idiotic even. I work hard for my kids. Why is that wrong? I dont work hard so that lazy losers can take my hard earned earnings.

70% LOL so stupid.

Eisenhower was a thief and a socialist. It's the new math.

Republican revisionist history.

Nobody remembers the ACA was originally a Republican idea. Then Obama stole it. Said he Did Care. Now it's history.
ObamaCare. Removed the pre-existing condition loophole the Ins. corps. had.
Saved my life.
F the rest of you.
I'm alive.
Thanks Obama!

Bullshit. Taxation isn’t theft.

It is when you tax people at a higher bracket because they are more successful. A usage tax is fair an income tax is bullshit.

We’ve had a progressive income tax system for over 150 years. The idea that it equals theft is dumb.

99% tax is theft and dumb. Par for the course for you.

You realize that a 99% tax rate isn’t actually going to happen and that we’ve had 92% rates on incomes much lower than 10M in recent history?

Last night , Trump said :

“We will never be a socialist country” in a taxpayer funded building , to a tax payer funded congress , to the heads of the greatest socialist funded military the world has ever known. This comes after he gave 12 billion in socialism to farmers and demanded billions for a socialist wall.

Yup.

This.

Fox News and republicans have spent so much time calling people like Obama, who was slightly left of Nixon, dangerous socialists that now that actual left policies are coming out....theyre not prepared.

I'm sorry, why shouldn't we tax the ultra rich? Most of us know the difference between making 35k/year....to 75/k......to 250k.....to 10m. And most of us ain't making 75k.

Ummm....Because it's a form of thievery. Just because some people have more than others doesn't give people with less the right to take it.

Bingo. Spend less time posting stupid comments and more time working on your career. The rich are not rich because they stole the money they are rich because they worked hard for it

some of them are rich because they stole the money, or inherited it. Most of them worked for it, but not all of them.

It's high time to tax all Religions, Cults, Bibles, Korans, Torahs, Churches, Temples, and Mosques

Um, the Bible and the Torah and the Koran are books. How do you tax a book?

Put it inside a pay toilet booth.

Have to agree with cccp on this one. My mom worked hard all her life, but made no effort to save any money for her retirement. (She actually told my sister that she was going to enjoy her life and not worry about later.) Now, she is 89 years old and (hopefully temporarily) in a situation where she needs 24 hour/day care. Guess what? She has no money other than her social security and can't afford it. Guess who is stuck paying for it? I told my son last night, that his mother and I would never put him and his siblings in that situation. It sucks and it is unfair to me and my siblings. My mother expects us to pay for her care because she didn't plan for the future. I won't do that to my kids.
