It's usually a sign of delusion and an inability to deal with reality so they project their failures onto society.DerekJohnson said:

Your finest work. One of the things I like about your posts is how earnest you are, and yet lacking in self awareness. Kudos.TheKobeStopper said:I celebrate leftists succeeding in our current system.
Some would love to shove certain narratives down our throats like successful leftists are hypocrites, unsuccessful ones are just jealous. There is no amount of money we can make, no way for us to live, that you won’t criticize.
Hasan does a lot of good work for the left. Good for him.
They can't be better, so instead all of society must change to reach their desired utopia.
It's a strange combo of naivety and narcissism that your typical stupid but tries to sound smart person has. -
I've heard that before. Show me the proof that it discourages investment. I don't know about cap. gains, but income tax was much higher until the mid 80sWestlinnDuck said:
Why do progressive think that capital gains should be taxes as ordinary income? Capitalism works and taxing capital means less capital which means less investment and that means less jobs for the middle class and even poor people. If Elon Musk sells $1 billion of Tesla stock he would pay $200 million in federal taxes and before he fled Cali another $130 million in state income tax. So, paying $330 million in taxes compared to a secretary paying 16,500 on $50,000 (@33%) of wages seems pretty progressive to me.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:This is a bad look.

PPS The secretary wouldn't pay 33% either. -

Geezus. You want less of something, tax it. If you want more sloth, subsidize it. We tax regular income in blue states at over 50% for big earners. Musk left Cali for a reason. The US competes with the world for capital investment and that was one of our biggest competitive advantages - the security of the dollar and capital in the US and low tax rates on capital. The attitude that high tax rates and inflation don't really mean anything is not the thought of a serious educated person. Sorry (Not really, they are the thoughts of a dementia patient who is POTUS).Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

PS When the official US position was confiscatory taxation (90% tax rates) is was just theatrical posturing for the morons. No one paid it. Tax shelters were beyond prevalent and the effective tax rate remained in the 20 percent of GDP range. -

You really are a worthless piece of shit. Also, a coward.
You preach your morals, but fail to live them. Great life you’re living. -
Is it weird that people stuck in countries run communists flee to capitalist ones, but the opposite doesn't happen? Is it weird that someone posts about how hard it is for leftists to 'succeed' here? I haven't heard much about the communities of poor leftists that have fled horrible economies and democracies in America and Europe for places like Cuba, Venezuela, or Vietnam. I wonder why.

Which may tell us more about the USA than Russia.
