what would you do? pass a law saying people
can no longer earn money when their net worth hits a certain level?

Big picture Jim big picture. I bet our personal income tax % is higher than theirs

I know this is complicated but most of their wealth is a result of the value of their business...they are doing well because their businesses are doing a lot of business.....maybe we should restrict their ability to do business so they can't do so well?

Unfettered capitalism is Amazon inflating its prices on essential items by as much as 1000% during the pandemic while Jeff Bezos refuses to provide sick leave to his warehouse workers.
But they’re making money and who would claim that profiting off a pandemic is bad, hmmm....

Capitalism, free market, individual liberty, unalienable rights, and more, were all pretty much fettered during the lockdowns. Some crony capitalists did well, a whole lot of smaller businesses were destroyed.

yes, we don't fetter capitalism at all in America :rotf2:

Sadly it became necessary due to this administration letting this virus get out of control and with death tolls on the way to 300,000 or fearless leader continues the messaging that exacerbated the problem from the beginning, even when he knew the facts up front. But wait I’m confused a DeBarr stated the economy was making a robust recovery, is that only for the few and the small get screwed. Conflicting messaging how can this be?

do you just pull on a string and repeat the same thing over and over?

This isn't about the ability of some to make money its Pandemic 'Profiteers'

We taxed war profits , this once again is more corporate socialism

Its funny to see conservatives attack immigrants for stealing jobs not paying taxes

But when corporations and business make billions , and these profits never are shared with employees via pay or health care, what do conservative say to employees find another job if you don't like your pay, and they praise the companies for making money and for not paying taxes

this is gibberish

Big picture Jim big picture. I bet our personal income tax % is higher than theirs

maybe. but obama has a democrat congress to change that if he wanted to, and he didn’t.

their rate is only lower than mine and yours, if their income
comes from capital
gains and not ordinary income. i don’t have a problem
with capital gains tax rates being low enough to encourage people
to invest. maybe you make it more progressive above certain amounts.

for all the liberal whining on this, obama and the democrat congress never tried to fix it. there’s a reason why.

The U.S. population has more than doubled since the 1960s, when most of the country’s major infrastructure systems were designed. Many are reaching the end of their lifespan, and are dangerously overstretched, experts say.

What do you think the tax rate was on the upper crust when all these aging roads, bridges, railways and utilities were built? Just where do you think than next major slug of money should come from, just what segment of the American tax paying public do you think probably can easily survive a tax bump to finance long overdue infrastructure repairs?

we all use the roads and bridges, we all have to pony up. The wealthy will pony up, and pay a disproportionate share, as they always do. It won't be enough for the Reds, it never is.

This incessant fixation of what 0.01% of the population is doing. Who cares?

funny republican gave billions in tax cuts to the rich

but now are saying the covid relief bill it do big and now are concerned about the Budget .. rather than helping the Avg american

more lies.

he also doubled the standard deduction, and increased child tax credits. neither of these provides any benefit whatsoever, to the rich.

when you are forced to
lie to defend what you believe, it might be time

Jim your like a dog under the table while every everyone around the table is eating the finest meats your excited when those at the table provide you with piece of Gristle.. convincing yourself they gave that out of concern for your well-being and improving you existence... saying see even us dogs got some. Stop lying for them thats what they want

fact - part of the trump tax cuts doubled the standard deduction, and greatly increased child
tax credits. my
liability went down by about 2500 a year. that’s not gristle to us.

all you have is made up bullsh*t. you’re wrong. you’re demonstrably wrong about the tax cuts. working families with a couple of
kids hit a big break. that’s just fact.

it would be easier for you if the trump only helped the wealthy. that’s just not what happened.

again, when you have to deny reality to defend your beliefs, you’re in a cult.

Would you like some cream on top of your cherry picking?

(1) did he double
the standard deduction?

(2) did he expand child
tax credits?

(3) do either of those things help the elite wealthy?

answers. yes, yes, no.

you want to argue that more could have gone to working people, you get no argument from
me. you claim, as harris just did in the debate, that the cuts only helped the wealthy, and youre lying.

also fluffing employment, pre covid?

are you afraid that if you say one complimentary thing about trump, that everyone will hear about it and vote for him? are you afraid you’ll die?

i don’t get the need you all have to deny reality that doesn’t fit the orangemanbad message.

Bottom line: after four years of “Fire and Fury” and “We fell in love”, North Korea has more nuclear weapons and a more advanced ballistic missile program.

It was a near impossible mission. Kim Il Sung has only power and potential nukes between him and a Ceausescu type execution. His people would kill him if they could. He ain't giving up his power. He ain't giving up his nukes, or at least the always imminent threat that he's about to have them.

Trump had a reasonable idea which pertains to rational people who are willing to make deals that are win-win. But the current dictators in NK and China are in the precarious positions of losing everything including their lives if they give up their power and democratize their countries. China's dictators have no intention of making fair trade deals because they would require ceding too much power to their own people to create the competitive capitalistic workforce and businesses to generate the wealth to compete in the Western marketplace and the growing capitalism in the Pacific Rim. The CCP requires an actual slave labor force and coercive economic relations with struggling nations who are willing to be seduced into the Belt and Road initiative as well as the theft of Western tech intellectual property and the ability to sell cheaply to others while it puts barriers to those others from significantly penetrating the Chinese market.

The old notion beginning with Nixon that Trading with China would eventually make it a Westernized capitalistic free market economy with democratized governments has proven a pipe dream because the CCP leaders have too much invested, including their lives, in holding dictatorial power over their people, and in becoming militarily strong enough to threaten anybody from toppling them.

And they conveniently spread this strange virus into the rest of the world just as Trump was pushing their economy to the brink of destruction.

Trump is no longer singing the praises of Xi.

Trump thinks he's competing with him and wants to flash his negotiating brilliance, while previous Presidents knew they were ABOVE him and could dictate terms or let North Korea suffer the consequences. Kim's now emboldened by the promotion of the Trump Org.

Decided for my next chain saw carving I’d attempt a portrait of Trump, I think it captured his essence don’t you?

Yeah, those previous Presidents really did a bang-up job of dictating to NK--sarc (for Got Strippers).
