    Is this guy aware that the Democratic party of Andrew Jackson bears little resemblance to the Democratic party of Nancy Pelosi?

    I wish I had a dime for every-time someone on the right supported a tax cut for the rich....

    Income taxes are unconstitutional as they are not apportioned. Corporate taxes are legal.

    We can't even get to that point. I'm trying to get these people to understand that taxes are not the government's money. It's the people's money that the government takes. They don't make it they don't do anything to bring it in they just take it.

    I know of nobody on the right that say this. When it comes to Ordinary Income, the "rich", not sure how you define rich, pay a higher percentage of tax. All that earn ordinary income must report their gross income and then are allowed to take any deductions and credits. The result is their net taxable income. The income tax brackets are progressive. The more your net income the higher your bracket and the more tax you owe.

    However, the very wealthy invest their income and their earnings they make on those investments are taxed on at the lower capital gains tax. They can take advantage of IRS deductions that lower wage earns can not.

    That is the problem and that is why we need tax reform. Something Democrats have never done, even when holding the House and Senate. To be fair, neither have Republucan.

    The Trump tax cuts helped all ordinary tax brackets. Low income earns pay zero to a small percentage of their net income. Those in the middle bracket pay more and those in the highest bracket the most.

    Trump did not give the Rich a break. The rich are just able to move their earnings and take advantage of legal tax loop holes.

    Extortion scam run by US government and international bank swindlers. Both Democratic and Republican parties are involved.

    I despise what was done to African Americans. I learned a lot listening to the entire hearing today.

    the United States should have gave the freed slaves the wages they should have earned, but we didn't. I cannot see a way to do that now.

    what I see is a post 60s United States that stopped segregation, passed equal rights laws, established many programs to help black minorities: and a Country where most of us, especially the younger generations, get along and are against prejudice.

    In other words, the Country has given back to the descendants of the slaves that were cheated.

    Also, and I am not taking away what the Country did wrong, but the Africans rounded up up their own people and sold them or traded them for goods to slave traders that shipped them to the U.S. For profit.

    Not only the very wealthy. Normal middle class people invest money in retirement fund accounts taxed at the capital gains rate. And of course without the ability to do this people would never be able to retire.

    the left wanted a bigger permanent tax cut for the working class

    republicans called this a middle class tax cut, but the mega corps got a permanent mega tax cut and the working class got a smaller temporary tax cut

    Until you are paying the highest effective rate, you have no argument.
    Pay your fair share

    Did you really just quote a single individual — on an opinion piece — and then two articles talking about that opinion piece, that didn’t even endorse it, as being something that “the left” is pushing?

    Wow, really digging that hole for your integrity deep ain’t ya?

    Indirect taxation was made constitutionsl with the help of Aldrich (Rockefeller's son in law), the international bankers that became the FED and Wilson. May they all rot in hell

    Reparations aren't coming from the right.

    Perhaps you think its an insane idea.

    But its not coming from the right-and the left are the ones pushing identity politics.

    Reparations have actual support — low support at around 21% — but still it’s an actual movement and has been for several decades. It has existed since slavery was ended.

    One person posting on an opinion piece does not represent anyone besides himself.
    Less than 1% of the population is a fluke, not a movement. This is .0000001%

    Try again

    You still didn’t answer my question, do they pay you per post or is it a salary type deal?
    I pay our marketing company 600 per month for 20 posts a month — granted they contain artwork, images, and well thought out remarks but still — for 25 posts a day that’s gotta net you around 2K a month minimum.

    I'm sure that if the Uncle Tom doesn't want any reparations, other people will be eager to get his share.

    Q- Why doesn’t Trump, man of the people abolish the Fed and IRS?

    A- Because He’s just another whore for them.
