The extreme right is so obsessed with AOC that they get online to comment on every move she makes and every breath she takes. Pay attention to the biggest liar in presidential history, Individual 1. He will announce more lies tonight. I won't watch but I will be on the WaPo and WSJ as their servers crash from all the fact checking they will post from the lies that are coming. Stay tuned.

Cortez continues to be a gift to conservatives, showing the world once again that the Democrat Party is about to implode. If she won't engage with people and show some semblance of reason, then how is she fit to lead? Right now, she's going to get run over in Congress.

Well, if you've got Whoopi Goldberg calling AOC out, then I guess you could say the left-wing nuts have actually exploded.

Ponderosa, be serious. You do not want this bimbette to be your president or anybody's president. This country is still very much at risk and still sits one Democrat away from America ceasing to be a free republic.

Has nothing to do with age, race or gender, don't be silly.

If Nancy the Nazi hasn’t already had that conversation with Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, it will not be long before it happens.

The point is, those who benefit the most from our system should be the ones most willing to support its upkeep. The rich will always be rich, regardless of the income tax imposed on them. Those who do not want to pay taxes for the upkeep of the country make the statement that they want to live in an inferior society.
Glad you are retired comfortable.

Tell me how these people "benefit most from our system" will you? Lets take almost every top athlete in every sport, all of the top actors and actresses. How are they "benefiting the most from our system" and are you implying they use more infrastructure than we do?

Wow

88% of federal income taxes are paid by the top 20%. Most of the top 20% do NOT make the bulk of their income on capital gains...that would be the top 5%....many small business owners who risked everything to fund their start up....like me.

This means that in NY and CA, when you include state and local taxes, some people will be paying over 80% in taxes. Thats just absurd, regardless of how much money anyone makes. The federal government does not have the right to take 70% of anyone's income, taking ~30% is questionable, especially considering how wasteful they are with it.
Just for the record, my original thread was combined with some other thread. My original thread title clearly called out that this was a 70% bracket.

AOC is a moron & has been since day one.

Even Whoppi told her to sit still and learn the job.
