Trump 2025

Quote: SOOPOO

I just did my google AI question. It told me the top 1% pays 40.4% of all federal taxes. So 1% of the people pay 2/5 of ALL the tax revenue! That’s AFTER they’ve ’taken advantage’ of all the loopholes and special exemptions and benefits you want to eliminate! So you think 1% of the people should pay the same as the other 99% combined? Get it up to 50%?

When is enough enough, really? Should only the top 1% be taxed at all?

As I’ve said many times, I’ve paid more in taxes than an average person earns most years. And was fine with that. Just please stop with the ‘he’s not paying his fair share’.

It’s basically the liberals demonizing successful people.

the new tariffs are really taxes disguised as tariffs that will be paid by everybody including the middle class and those below who are struggling

You vote for the party that promises to raise taxes. You should be happy.

No

I say only raise taxes on the upper income earners

if Soopoo and people in his bracket make $1 million a year I would estimate that after Fed and State taxes he clears at least $600,000

he could live very nicely on clearing $450,000

if a man makes $400,000 in a year I would estimate that he clears $250,000 after paying Fed and State taxes

he could live very nicely clearing $180,000

Quote: AZDuffman

Ah, so like most liberals you like higher taxes ON ANYBODY BUT YOU!

Typical cheapskate liberal loser!



Who are you to judge that? Sounds like fascist talking points to me.

You are just the typical greedy, selfish liberal who cares for nobody but themselves.

Quote: PotPie

no, I didn't say ANYBODY BUT ME

I was referring to anybody who is not a very high income earner - millions and millions of people

about 153 million people file Federal Taxes -

increasing taxes on only the wealthy would mean that about 140 million would have no increase

obviously not just me

but you knew that - you just said "ON ANYBODY BUT YOU" to justify calling me names

you can call me any name you want - means nothing to me - and to all of the others who you call names

who am I to judge that____ you ask________?___________I'm a person expressing my opinion just like you and everybody else is here

Almost every liberal issue I vote in favor of doesn’t benefit me personally.

Duffman almost always means himself when he says selfish. Does he agree with Ayn Rand /John Galt premises or not. Let him say he doesn’t and just LOL about it
