Comment on Affluent Americans are driving US economy and likely delaying need for Fed rate cuts - KESQ
BobaFuttbucker@reddthat.com 6 months agoI looked but it’s irrelevant.
Are you upset at poor people not paying as much in tax, or the ultra wealthy getting away with no paying their fair share due to the tax system?
If the first, what makes you think they should pay more when they’re already struggling?
If the second, then would you support tax reform that requires the richest to pay more into it without as many loopholes, and would you be willing to be one of those people paying more as a 5%-er?

It’s a 100% relevant. We can’t have a conversation if you won’t be intellectually honest.
I normally abandon a thread when it’s not productive. If you deny the real world then there is little value in a conversation.
All Americans should be taxed at a similar pain level. It encourages people to stop voting for stupid spending.

I like the pain level argument.
Then please directly answer the many questions I’ve posed which you refuse to acknowledge, like the ones in my previous message on this thread. It’s a two-way street dude.

It’s not my job is answer every strange question you ask. I focus on the ones that make sense and ignore the others.
We have a spending problem in this country. The democrat gave tricked to think it’s a taxing issue. It isn’t. We could take all the billionaires money and we’d still not cover our spending for a year.
We need to spend less.

They all make sense, some just make you uncomfortable.
I somewhat agree, but it’s not as simple as just that.
Can you please retype this so it makes better sense so I can respond? Or at least understand?
Have we reached the point in the Democrat President’s term where Conservatives remember that the national debt is a thing? How much did the last guy contribute to that vs the current guy?
