    No one’s saying this, this is a straw man.

    …and then you go on to spew exactly that talking point at length.

      Fuck off, liar. This is what I identified as a straw man:

      it’s such a serious threat to the country’s financial stability that we should chicken out and stop taxing the rich.

      Now quote me “spew[ing] exactly that talking point” that we should stop taxing the rich. You won’t, because you can’t, because I didn’t.

      Shameless, pathetic liar.

        …you do understand that “stop taxing the rich” in that sentence doesn’t literally mean set it to 0%, yeah? The only strawmanning here is you taking things way too literally. You still argued exact the thing I was talking about, i.e. that taxing them might make us lose revenue therefore we shouldn’t do it.

        Also, ad hominems get you blocked, so bye bye

          “stop taxing” doesn’t mean stop taxing

          calling a lie a lie is ad hominem

          Fuck all the way off, pathetic liar.
