    Yes. Remember them well.

    Hint: we aren’t in the 90’s any more, Toto. Now go polish your ruby slippers

    Good, so you agree there's many other factors out there and that cutting or raising taxes doesn't have a huge influence on the GDP growth.

    I care.

    We can't afford our current burn. How in the holy fuck are we going to pay for this?

    And don't tell me raise taxes on the rich. There isn't enough money there no matter how hard you try to get blood from a turnip.


    This plan is beyond FS.
    But you support cutting taxes on the wealthy and corporations.
    Fuck off, shill.

    You don't have the mental fortitude to understand economics and the velocity of money.

    As such, you should kill yourself.



    We've been down this road. Last year tax revenue went down or was basically flat from the year before with Yuge growth. Do you understand Revenue as a percentage of GDP?
    Moar divert and deflect. Fuck off.


    Better yet, kill yourself.
    Strong agree

    You're not following the lefty logic of a late are you? We spend trillions of dollars each year of petroleum based energy, therefore we'll save all kinds of money if we turn completely to green energy. And since all money really belongs to the government a dollar in tax money and dollar in private money are no different.

    We'll just confiscate all of the money spent privately on energy and add it to the existing tax dollars being spent on energy and we'll have plenty of money to pay for all of it.

    When you deal in pure Kunt logic all is possible.

    How will raising tax rates to 70% increase gdp?

    I don't support 70%. That being said. Raising taxes on the wealthy won't hurt the GDP growth. Remember the 90s?
    You mean the period where we controlled government spending and cut the capital gains tax?

    Tax rate was lower in the 90s for individuals. Other than that, great point

    Too bad for the socialists that we have actual evidence of which system was able to innovate and afford clean air and water and which system crumbled in poverty and environmental degradation

    So naturally the socialists in America choose the system that failed and left a stain on the earth

    It takes a lot of economy to afford to do things clean and America and the West can do it. Socialists can't

    Dupes

    Water purification plants, the things that make water drinkable, are publicly owned. The pipes that deliver that water are publicly owned. If you’ve ever had a sip of clean water in the US it’s because of democratic socialism.

    The police, fire department, highways, airports, public transit, parks, the FBI, the Secret Service, social security, Medicare are all democratic socialism. Your capitalist utopia was built on the foundation of what you now demonize as socialism.

    So you can fear monger all you want but your message is being delivered via the internet which was create by people using government grants and doing government research.

    B-b-but Venezuela!
