      He was a sheepdog who’s job was to keep disenfranchised voters rounded up in the party with illusions of having a seat at the table.

        Oh look, the taxes are theft guy (who will vote for Trump) is here to say how little someone else knows about economics.

        I’m sure all that wealth will start to trickle down any minute now though.

            What I have said is the tax system should be fair.

            By reducing the amount that the people who benefit most (by orders of magnitude) from our society pay into it. Yeah. That sure sounds fair to me.

            What an intelligent and viable solution!

                    Wait, I thought you never said that?

                    That paper ignores people’s capacity to pay.

                    Even the Bible recognizes that a poor widow’s mite is a bigger ask than a wealthy person’s contribution of a larger portion of their income. That was written two thousand years ago, but somehow conservatives still haven’t come to the same obvious conclusion.

                    Our society is specifically set up to funnel money to oligarchs, and then they cry about having to contribute to that system? Boo fucking hoo.

                    The rich already pay more than their fair taxes.

                    Yeah. Don’t listen to this guy.

        and he has no clue how the economy works

        That’s the thing. He knows how the economy ‘works’, it’s just that it works for the ruling class and not for everyone else.

        Guess what? The only way to reduce the disparity in wealth is to reduce the disparity in wealth. This means those who have too much will get angry because they have less so others can have more.

            Sorry, I’ve already replied to you explaining basic economics.

            You’re the one who doesn’t understand, and linking sensationalist blogs doesn’t help your credibility one iota.
