Hopes were high. My fingers were crossed that maybe this time they would be different. Took a grand total of 36 hours to deflate. Maybe next time.
Not 70% tax.

Top tax rate doesn't matter much for revenue generation.

It's a wash in the end.

Yeah, I was just referring to the misleading nature of "70% tax" leaving out the keyword "marginal".

Wash my butt. Revenue line is pretty straight and the top rate plummets. Where does that suggest that the revenue is coming from?

ummm...it means that the people who make more than $10 million a year will pay what they believe they should and not a dime more.

This isn't complicated. If you raise the marginal rates to 70+%, the people who make that kind of money will figure out how to hide it -- legally.

Honestly. I know you think you're playing gotcha, but all you're really doing is demonstrating your ignorance.

You too, Plano. You should know by now not to jump on the Geezer-policy-economics train. Derailment is inevitable.

That doesn't have anything to do with anything.

It's simply a historical fact that the ultra-wealthy take far greater advantage of the loopholes they can when they feel they need to.

lulz

Trump's tax cut closed a great many loopholes. And the shrieking and rending of garments was almost biblical.

Moreover, the harder the government pushes, the likelier the ultra-rich are to move their income and assets offshore.

So, if the loopholes were closed, what caused the deficit to spike? Would that be something that's expected to take a few years to pay off?

Sorry, I know Google exists, I just have a hard time on political matters finding credible sources.

We just need some thrifty or skinflint dems to rein all that useless spending.

Heard on NPR this morning that the Talib expletive got roughly 5 times as much media attention as the Steve King white supremacy remarks...
