"And honestly, this makes sense. Billionaires would still have private jets and mega-mansions, but the climb for the rest of us wouldn't feel quite so impossible."

Why? Why would it feel more possible?

What taxes would we reduce on the guy making $75K?

What other benefits would that same guy realize?

-More prevarication..

Questions you're incapable of answering is your prevarication at work, not mine.

You're so funny.

It's fine to want everyone to pay the same rate. I agree with that.

But I'm asking about how it actually helps joe 6 pack.

You really don't know. This is just about whining to you.

-I answered it, as did Snoofy.

Speaking of prevarication ... ..

-the climb for the rest of us wouldn't feel quite so impossible."

How would it feel not quite so impossible?

-It gives Joe a more level playing field on which to compete, as was mentioned... and less biased media in his ear.

You really don't have a clue? You're just making up platitudes.

You're a horrible liberal. You're the ---- Charlie Kirk would pull up to the microphone to embarrass

You can't tie a single meaningful benefit to Joe from the increased tax rate on the billionaire.

"less biased media in his ear."

Huh?

Clearly nobody can cite a real benefit for Joe.

Avoiding the reality that the answer is beyond them.

It's an important thing to understand

Maybe the 5 year old can help. You've admitted they understand it better than you.

I'm not going to answer for you.

I want everyone to pay the same rate as well.

Why? I have reasons. But you're embarrassing yourself with these moronic platitudes

I'll check back tomorrow.

Do you realize how ------ you are when you're needing Snoofy to help you?

Anyway ... ..

"If they were taxed like a household making $50,000 to $70,000, the gap between them and the middle class would start shrinking."

And you can't say how. Because you don't know. You might as well say if we tax the rich more, ice cream tastes better.

-That you are blind to equal justice

I'm literally the only one with their eyes open.

This is fun.

But I need sleep

"If rich people paid more in taxes, let's say on wealth earned, that money could be invested in national healthcare and education (things conservatives hate). It would increase and prolong social security. Be invested in rebuilding aging infrastructure and modernize the nation.
Hospitals and schools can be properly funded and equipped."

See, these are the words corky couldn't find. Clown makes an attempt to draw a line from additional tax revenue to where it might benefit Joe 6 pack.

Corky is either too lazy or dumb to at least try and muster up a response to my question.

Those are pretty big longshots to happen no matter how much tax revenue we collect from the wealthiest.

Social security will be saved within itself. IOW, the beneficiaries of SS will be footing the bill to make it stronger. Education funding at the federal level is way too taboo. If States want to fund it, then they can pass taxes on their wealthiest and get to it. or even the county level. Good luck.

Those things are all worthy of being done and being funded by our wealthiest......obviously there are political obstacles.

but my only real reason to piss off corky with my responses was this statement he made....." but the climb for the rest of us wouldn't feel quite so impossible."

It was a "feeling" statement that I wanted him to explain better.

But he couldn't. I knew he wouldn't do it. He's just so used to spewing platitudes with no real thought being put into it. That's why he can't actually discuss it. Rather, he just tries to insult and attack his way around discussing it.

-We learned that Eb didn't read and or comprehend the article.

a 12 year old could understand the article. In fact, it was written for someone at that level.....no wonder why you loved it so much, why it spoke to you.

I guess you must struggle to find articles that you can comprehend....and you found one.

Good for you.

but you couldn't answer a simple question the reason is obvious. You really have no clue how the world works.

Chatgpt isn't going to save you from being an imbecile. In fact, it only draws more attention to it.

LOL

Poor thing.

-Non-responsive surrender post...

That describes everything you posted on this entire thread.

especially the last few.

You completely surrendered and everyone saw you do it.

And you're lying. You don't feel great. It's obvious.

-And you not grokking how a more level economic playing field would be helpful to a lot of people... is why you are are a Republican to begin with.

this is the equivalent of calling me a pedo....because I've kicked your sorry ass around this thread and you've got literally nothing to argue.

You proved that you don't understand how any changes would help anybody. Oh, they certainly could.....but you were unable to communicate any of them. You proved you don't understand this issue enough to comment on it. You just post your cute little chatgpt article and shout "yeah!!!" hoping that's as far into the deep end you'd have to go.

Then I asked you to swim in deeper waters and you jumped out of the pool and cried like a -----.

And you already know why I'm a republican and how it's got nothing to do with taking a position on this issue.

Which, BTW, I don't disagree with you on. You're hoping nobody noticed that I agree with you. I just asked for some clarification on your part and you flat out couldn't ------ do it.

You might be the dumbest liberal on this site.

The dumbest liberal on this site. worth repeating.....

-Why is the result of an AI query thread worthy?

It gave me an opportunity to have fun with Corky....so it's hard for me to criticize it.

57

yet another lie. You're not expecting me to do that. You damn well know I don't do that and never have.

just keep lying......it's not like the truth is helping you.

"More money in the Treasury means more ability to fund health care and other public benefits."

really? I'm all for fiscal sanity and responsible growth.

But let's examine that theory...

let's analyze the growth of Tax receipts over the past 15-20 years.

in 2009 the receipts to the US treasury was $2.1 trillion
in 2022 the receipts to the US treasury was $4.9 trillion

over 14 years that's 6.2% annual growth.

pretty damn robust growth in tax receipts.

"you'd been drinking?"

Again, this is your argument.......proving you have nothing.

I know you obviously threw in the towel on being taken seriously years ago but you don't have to cry about it.

take your L and live with it. It's not my fault you're not taken seriously here.

simple doesn't mean fair

and the lawyers and accountants who influence our government aren't in favor of simplifying anything.

Neither are the politicians. There is almost no support for it.
