    It is pointless to try and have a discussion with you as you will merely claim you have already refuted anything posted, as you routinely demonstrate and refuse to answer direct questions to you. Your history of obfuscation well documented.

    And of course your claims of white flags, no white flag offered as I expect you will fallaciously claim, go waste someone else's time and patience.

    Further making it pointless by your own admittance you don't know what you are talking about when it comes to taxation.

    And they keep on sprouting the same nonsense regarding the temp hike in revenue. They worship the ground of the Clinton/Gingrich tax cut but they don't even want to get back to that level of taxation. Clinton presided over a balanced budget, so lets get back to those bracket and deduction levels after adjusted for inflation so add 50% to these brackets with 20 grand for married filing jointly and 3,500 per kid (after inflation)
    0.00+ 15%
    $42,350.00+ 28%
    $102,300.00+ 31%
    $155,950.00+ 36%
    $278,450.00+ 39.6%

    so the average joe making 90,000 grand gross with 2 kids gets taxed at 60 grand for 15%. How come the republicans now think that taxing the people making 1mill a year at 29% now is an assult on their freedom but Gingrich/Kasich/Clinton thought 39% and a 20% capital gins was a panacea?

    I ALWAYS disagree with Faux Fake News. They LIE!

    For example, in your post you quote them as saying:
    "Warren’s signature "wealth tax" – which she says would help pay for progressive plans including universal child care, free tuition at public universities and colleges and her government-run "Medicare-for-all" health care system ...."

    Let's see you find a direct quote by Warren were she makes that statement using the word "including". She seems to state it as an "either/or" type of thing. So as I said, Faux Lies.

    I have no idea what inane argument you are trying to make and it refutes nothing in the study the University of Pennsylvania. Claiming her plans do not include universal child care shows a total lack of knowledge of her plans.

    So IOW you have trouble with comprehension of a brief statement of refutation. And who claimed her plans don't include universal child care? It appears to be another indication of a comprehension problem.

    Are you denying her plans include universal child care? Still waiting for you to refute the OP and the study cited.

    Are you going to answer or just dodge and weave?

    You demanded I show you, if you don't deny it then why do you have to be shown?
