    Prove your claim the rich are contributing the "lion's share" to the nation's income now.

    Well, according to this site (http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/household-income-quintiles), a household in the top quintile contributes about $202,000 to the nation's income, while a household in the 4th quintile only contributes about $92,000 to the nation's income. Clearly the rich are contributing the lion's share.

    Why are you intentionally misrepresenting your source?

    Your source shows the income of various groups. Your source says nothing about what anyone "contributes."

    I called you out to "Prove your claim the rich are contributing the "lion's share" to the nation's income now" not fabricate things.

    The nation's income is the sum of all individual incomes, no?

    So if I have an income of $10,000, then my contribution to the national income is $10,000

    It's called adding.

    Nope. You're simply asserting without evidence, support, or even rational argument, that the income someone gets is equal to the contribution the make, because it suits your political ideology.

    Your assertion that the "rich are contributing the lion's share" to the nation's income is thus shown as nothing more than unsubstantiated, baseless say-so based on partisan ideology.

    Right. So what you call "the nation's income" is the sum of all gross personal incomes of all the people in the nation, right?

    Your assertion is based upon an inference you are making without evidence, support, or even rational argument, that the income someone gets is equal to the contribution the make, because it suits your political ideology.

    You've utterly failed to show any prove or evidence that your inference is accurate.

    Your assertion that the "rich are contributing the lion's share" to the nation's income is thus shown as nothing more than unsubstantiated, baseless say-so based on partisan ideology.

    Asked and answered.

    That has nothing to do with whether the income someone gets is equal to the contribution to the gross personal income they make.

    Which you've utterly failed to prove.

    Your analogy is ludicrous. . . . International trade is a symbiotic relationship. . . . If ANYONE is a bully, it's Trump; MAGA, I'm King of the Hill!!!

    Sure, discourage competition with foreign markets so that U.S. CEOs can collect EVEN LARGER nine-figure salaries with included bonuses and stock options. . . . TRICKLE UP???

    It's simple math. National income is the sum of all individual incomes. If I earn $10,000, then my contribution to national income is $10,000.

    And the upper quintile contributes the lion's share of the national income.

    says who, I support Tariffs, if Trump gets republicans to support them, win\win

    I also think we should raise corp taxes by 10% and offer any corp that doesn't outsource US jobs gets a 10% tax cut - Trump giving the corps tax cuts with no strings attached was a mistake

    Repetitive and already addressed.
    Repetitive non sequitur.

    But having shown you cannot prove your claims, you're engaging in sophomoric games.
