And just think, she actually has a degree in economics in which she learned that the Laffer Curve doesn’t exist and people love to work to have their wealth confiscated. Toss in Cali’s 12.3% top rate and our super wealthy Hollywood leftards would get to keep less than 18 cents on the dollar. Sweet.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez sat with Anderson Cooper for an upcoming 60 Minutes interview set to air this Sunday, a portion of which has been released as a promotion. In the released segment, Ocasio-Cortez reveals how exactly she suggests paying for the environmental agenda known as the “Green New Deal” — with remarkably higher tax rates for the super wealthy.
Ocasio-Cortez suggests in the clip that in her esteem, people should be doing more to pay their “fair share.” When Cooper pressed on how she could possibly pay for the deal, she pointed to the progressive tax rate system in the 1960s, explaining that if you earn 0 to $75,000 a year, you would only pay 10% or 15% in income tax.
She continued:
“But once you get to the tippie tops, on your $10 millionth, sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60% or 70%. That doesn’t mean all $10 million are taxed at an extremely high rate. But it means that as you climb up this ladder, you should be contributing more.”
Cooper replied that she was proposing a “radical agenda.”
“If that’s what radical means, call me a radical,” she said.

Hey Hondo, do you think she is calling for an increase in payroll taxes? Because according to you, there is no difference between payroll and income taxes.

Think of it as one of a handful of WestLinn's anthology series' that date back to the Woodshed.RedRocket said:How many times are you going to recycle this title?

If the headline fits

Why not recycle it? It's a reoccurring theme. Kind of like the "Religion of Peace" followed by a story where Muslims slaughter innocent people in the name of their religion, or "Diversity is our strength" followed by a story where some illegal immigrant murders a police man or "Hondo sticks his head up his ass" followed by pretty much every post Hondo posts here.

you must acquit? ... wait. That’s not right.

Sound familiar to today's fascists?

The Laffer Curve simply asserts that at a tax rate of zero, government receipts will be zero, and that at a tax rate of 100%, government receipts will be zero. Gasbag loves to throw "the Laffer Curve" around like it's some sort of evidence that he's a super deep intellect. We don't have confiscatory tax rates now. No one--not even the pretty girl--is proposing anything that is remotely confiscatory.

70% sounds pretty fucking close to confiscatory to me.

Confiscatory is definitely too big of a word to be understood around here. You might get a "fuck off" or "you are a dumbfuck" response tho.HHusky said:The Laffer Curve simply asserts that at a tax rate of zero, government receipts will be zero, and that at a tax rate of 100%, government receipts will be zero.

Well we know that "income tax" is too big a fucking word for you to understand Hondo. You ended up spouting fucking gibberish about how payroll taxes are really just income taxes.2001400ex said:

Problem wiping his own ass and dressing himself in the morning. Try reading dumbfuck.RaceBannon said: -
So no one. And she is correct that in the 60s it was 70% top rate and in the late 50s it was 90%.RaceBannon said: -
Yeah, I wouldn't even want that last million if all I get to keep is 300,000.SFGbob said:70% sounds pretty fucking close to confiscatory to me.
-
No one said that anyone is paying that rate now dumbfuck. But she is advocating that rate for some people. Hondo did you know that even when the rates were that high back in the 50s and 60s the top 1% paid a smaller percentage of all income taxes than they do today? Now how could that be?

There were lots of easy shelter opportunities before the 1980s. They are largely gone now. The socialists are not proposing to bring them back.

Hey it's what the Founders believed. The were all about confiscating the wealth of their fellow citizens in order to give it to other citizens so everyone could be more equal.RaceBannon said:

H has a real hard on for inherited wealth. I think he is envious that daddy isn't leaving him any wind fall so he resents those that are getting one.
