No - as I showed in my reply to my mistake, that $1.4T tax break isn't just for upper class. Some of it was the ACA, some was EIC, some of it was for children. It was across every tax bracket.the upper classes are given a $1.5 trillion tax break
Poor reading and comprehension skills Steve, but at least you have Gordon WAY beat. Did you do well in English or history? I mean, I failed a couple papers by grasping things so wrong.This is actually just incredibly disgusting. You're blatantly implying that only the upper quintile is productive and that the lower three have no contribution to that wealth. Whether you understand it for yourself or not, you actually want to see a return to feudalism.
But I am not implying anything. That is just a simple fact that is inconvenient to your position.
I said the Upper Quintile is PAYING TAXES. They make a NET CONTRIBUTION to the tax structure, and the lower quintiles make a NET LOSS to the tax balance.
That is just the way of it. They cost more than they produce.
Implying I have a moralistic position on that of feudalism... do you have a temperature?
Really?
Keep your head and think clearly - all I am saying is the poor are not some cheated group here, and that they pay NO share of taxes, so any tax cuts really can't help them without being a negative tax. Which they already get to the tune of about $29k.
Tax cuts could only really benefit though who are paying a NET IN, without giving more away.
Again, said nothing of the sort.The GDP per capita of India is ~$1800. The GDP per capita of the US is $52,000. Either that transfer of wealth is worth something to help those slovenly lower quintiles be productive, or you think wealthy Indians just aren't as productive as wealthy Americans. How 'bout that exceptionalism.
TRY actually grasping my commentary. Or at least coming close. The wealth transfer as Ryan pointed out, is about $21,000 per person, with an extra $9k thrown in for the poor.
We are so fucking rich, compared to the world, compared to ALL of history, and still you are bitching. Dude, be happy you were born here in have some cash america.
Your position hurts everybody in the long term. It strongly reduces long term growth for short term gain. It is not morally better. It just feels good now.At least we can drop the charade of "I care about the people at the bottom", since you clearly see them as unproductive leeches.
And like I said:
A FLAT TAX ruins all of your arguments. I would take all of that away, and tax every one after $35k or so at the same rate, rich or poor, no subsides, no credits. No benefit to corporations, or anybody rich, and remove the ability of the politician to have any chance to change it. Flat and even and fair.
