And the best part is, most boomers are on the back 9 of life anyway, so they'll more than likely never be affected by having to be the ones to pay the debt off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point the finger where it belongs at Washington DC..there have been a lot of boomers who never signed on to overspending by our government and have said we are saddling the next generation with this debt.

Or try to close their tax loopholes Socialism and playing class warfare are not the answer. Instead of envying the wealthy and wanting to see them punished for being successful I want to see more people getting wealthy. We all benefit from it. If they weren't paying their fair share I would feel different but in most cases they are. Remember this too that businesses do not pay taxes anyway. Whatever increase in taxes are put on them will just get passed on to consumers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That already exists through the massive income disparities in this country. A slightly higher tax isn't punishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great job market we have now will disappear because why would anyone in business want to build a new business or expand their business if they are only going to get penalized for it? Here is a great article from a very liberal senator (George Mcgovern) who ran for president in 1972 about what he learned when he started his own business after leaving the senate and how he found out how wrong and destructive his liberal policies were to business and how he would have done things differently if he knew what he found out as a business owner.

MLD Woody Posted July 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Yes, why would anyone want to get rich if they're now getting slightly less rich. I mean why bother at that point? I'd rather make minimum wage than make 7 figures with a slightly higher tax rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also laugh at your premise of taxing the "Super Wealthy". Like they're going to sit around in a country that's going to tax the shit out of them.

OldBrownsFan Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 Some Bernie facts: Bernie Sanders Didn’t Make a Paycheck Until He Turned 40 "Despite a prestigious degree, however, Sanders failed to earn a living, even as an adult. It took him 40 years to collect his first steady paycheck — and it was a government check. “I never had any money my entire life,” Sanders told Vermont public TV in 1985, after settling into his first real job as mayor of Burlington. Sanders spent most of his life as an angry radical and agitator who never accomplished much of anything. And yet now he thinks he deserves the power to run your life and your finances — “We will raise taxes;” he confirmed Monday, “yes, we will.” One of his first jobs was registering people for food stamps, and it was all downhill from there. Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could barely sink a nail. “He was a shi**y carpenter,” a friend told Politico Magazine. “His carpentry was not going to support him, and didn’t.” Then he tried his hand freelancing for leftist rags, writing about “masturbation and rape” and other crudities for $50 a story. He drove around in a rusted-out, Bondo-covered VW bug with no working windshield wipers. Friends said he was “always poor” and his “electricity was turned off a lot.” They described him as a slob who kept a messy apartment — and this is what his friends had to say about him. The only thing he was good at was talking … non-stop … about socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off. https://spectator.org/65498_bernie-sanders-didnt-make-paycheck-until-he-turned-40/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbambo Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 It's a small percentage that win the women's fifa world cup. I think it's unfair that they get to celebrate it all (even though they practiced day and night) and we should tax them. We should have the lead ass couch women replace the team in the parade. Who cares how they got it...it should be shared equally. It's the same when it comes to starting a business but the dems think we should take from the winners! losers!

Westside Steve Posted July 11, 2019 Report Share Posted July 11, 2019 So basically we are talking about K through 16 instead of K through 12 correct? I doubt that will move the goalposts one way or the other. But it will make a four-year degree a worthless piece of shit, not much different than a high-school diploma.
