Hell, even 45% of R's support it. 59 percent overall.

America was doing just fine when the the marginal rate was 70% and higher. In fact it was during the biggest expansion of the middle class the world has ever seen.
I love how under capitalism the workers are held hostage by capital. Any move against them they threaten to "tank the economy". I say tank it, then nationalize all essential products and services. When people aren't in fear of going hungry or can't afford medicine, and are not longer hostages of capital, then and only then can the true potential of the people be realized. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

10 million annual taxable income ?
That doesn't affect very many people, (around 100,000) and certainly none that can't afford it. I doubt it would do that much economic damage on it's own, our economy boomed in the past with rates that high. I don't think it helps all that much, but it is interesting that so many R's are for it. The party has a some new members who aren't as interested in protecting the rich? ------------------------- "The truth is incontrovertible. malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." -Sir Winston Churchill Edited: 01/15/2019 at 12:21 PM by WG |

But to your point, no, it probably won't happen soon because the Democrats are just as much in bed with the capitalists as the GOP. It will require the takeover of the party, or a new party.
Libertarian socialists are one the rise. "Libertarian" isn't as scary as "anarchist", but means the same; no trust of authoritarians and horizontal structures. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

Well you might not see it on the news but capitalism is failing here, and the downturn correlates with Reagan. Could be taxes, could be the destruction of unions, probably both, but when 60% of Americans don't have $1000 in the bank that's unsustainable. Medical costs remain the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy, and the cost of higher ed is through the roof.
1% has like 90% of the wealth, so the future is socialist or barbarism. Your personal firearms won't be enough to protect you. The proliferation of firearms means the poor are well armed too. Bullets don't care if they come from a Dan Wesson 1911 or a Hi-point. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

Reagan undid what kept America prosperous for 50 years, and trump was a reaction to the declining fortunes and social status of mostly poor white people.
A revolution is coming all right, in fact it's inevitable. Wealth will be redistributed one way or another to restore balance. It's likely that a white minority will try to turn to fascism to maintain control, but they will fail. We will bury them. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

I would love to see it tried. We would get to wipe out a lot of progs and thereby remove a lot of insane/stupid people from this country. But, as I said, it won't happen, not in our lifetime.
Let me ask you something. Why would all of these immigrants make the trip to the U.S. and, once established here, want to make it a shit hole so as to resemble the country they fled from?

This is the third reference to, "them moving here to make it a shit hole."
Do you have multiple aliases or did you all receive the same marching orders? ------------------------- I was right. |
