    Her Twitter game is strong. That matters in America now. Fucking Twitter matters! Christ. Who cares what the argument is or if she is wrong. Her tweet had 170 thousand likes. That smashes the shit out yoda tweeter Trump. She comes off misinformed, doesn't seem to understand the concept of profit and why it's important you can't give shit away for free, but her tweeting game is strong. America is reduced to 140 characters of stupidity. She is a contender and people are listening to her.

    A grown man that couldn’t follow simple directions to not talk about practice and then cried like a bitch when the rules were enforced has the audacity to shit talk AOC.

    Born on third base, waiting for daddy to die so he can score a run, lecturing about free shit. Get the fuck outta here.

    She stupid and wrong...most if not all teams are owned as corporations that distribute revenues to the “owners” as dividends, so those distributions would be taxed as such and not as “income”...any that aren’t will be if something this dumb ever passes. It’s a dumb discussion because implementing it will just change how a bunch of people hide and get to their money...mainly will just give accounts and lawyers more work.

    The fact that a sitting Rep, most journalists, and a good chunk of society don’t understand this simple wrinkle in our tax code is pretty sad...

    I really enjoy the life cycle of right wing arguments.

    Last week her idea was going to destroy America. This week it won’t make any difference at all.

    Y’all making this too easy.
    This is her only idea? Another brilliant straw-man argument...

    Da fuq? I like how you talk like you know something when you don't.

    First, if AOC gets her way on the 70%, do you really think it'll be only earned income and would exclude realized investment income? How cute.

    Second, while the explosion of TV revenues and great collective bargaining skills against a weak Union have allowed NFL franchises to actually turn a profit. The majority of the owners don't make a sizable profit from the franchise. Their money is made in their bread and butter, whatever it is that made them wealthy.

    I do agree that most politicians, journalists, and our society don't understand the tax code.
    Go find where she is talking about taxing dividends at 70%...I can give you a long list where she talks about marginal tax rates at 70%:

    Or keep making shit up...

    Who cares how NFL teams make there money. Let's use the Patriots as an example...Robert Kraft is the "owner", but the team is actually owned by The Kraft Group LLC:
    https://www.thekraftgroup.com/

    They get the income from everything...stadium (where they make a good chunk of their money), licensing, etc. etc. You think they give Robert Kraft a $100MM salary, or do you thing they give him a nominal "salary" and distribute earning via dividends to the shareholders, of which is probably basically him and his family/kids.

    This is true, but its a media-driven phenomenon...a good example is HondoFS and his favorite "fact-checkers", where they have to basically say its true but its really false on stuff conservatives say. If is was a conservative argument and it was Crenshaw making it, do you think the AP article would frame the article as 'Crenshaw hits back' instead of something to the effect of 'Crenshaw shows fundamental lack of understanding the tax code by arguing with AOC...'.

    The media fuels it and drives it by giving her and others (Bernie, Warren) an open platform to spew nonsense without calling them out on it. Its why Trump in all of his craziness is still smart to be tweeting directly to everyone...it reduces the amount of "analysis" the media can do on whatever he says because what he says still gets out to (most) everybody, and they just add there nonsense of why we shouldn't believe whatever he says.

    Did you read what I wrote or just see I disagreed and started your rebuttal?

    I know exactly what AOC has said. There's no full plan right now. If this goes thru Congress, they will probably include all income, not just earned income. I also don't think it'll be 70%. (All shit I've written in this thread)

    I also addressed your NFL question. Do you really think the money Kraft makes from the Patriots is significant to his overall income? He didn't start an NFL franchise and become a billionaire. It was the other way around.

    I just look at her rack.

    Whatever she says is just like Charlie Brown's teacher talk after getting locked in on her chest. Same as with any other female.
