    Well, in my ideal scenario, everyone would 'hurt' equally. It would not be fair to make any one group 'hurt' more than another.

    Cool bananas :)

    In regards to the rich (the vast majority of them, who do share their wealth with their own), they're literally doing exactly what so many Progressives say should be done. Looking after each other. If more Progressives made the effort to care for their own, then the social issues they complain about wouldn't exist.

    9-5 for me would feel like a part time gig.

    What makes me sick is how pathetic the libs are with their outright hatred of people who work hard. It’s rooted in the worst human trait of all, jealousy.

    Not really, Obama started from the bottom of a recession, Trump's +48% DJIA since election day is from a relatively high point.

    Yup, Nazis demonized people based on race, the LW demonizes people based on economic class.

    It's less envy, than wanting (desperately) for it to be down to something other than their own choices.

    You have no right to be subsidized by another no matter how much you think it does or doesn't hurt

    You didnt fix the problem in 2008. You kept the malinvestment and debt train rolling and failed to let the banks that blew themselves up and the bloated inefficient corporations from dying the death they deserved. In fact, you rewarded them.

    They praise government when it spends which only makes the rich richer. Then they cry about the rich and the growing wealth gap.

    Wrong!

    There is ZERO credible data to support that bogus allegation.

    There is also ZERO credible evidence that the "rich" have "created" any jobs because of their WELFARE for the WEALTHY taxcuts.

    FTR poor people are more motivated when it comes to working than the wealthy,

    There is zero credible data for your claim.

    Are you paying the highest rates?
    Until then, you are on welfare, courtesy of the taxpayers that earn more than you, and have been all of your life.

    Who can forget the Obama Admin policies of QE...soaking the rich on Wall Street with cash, while Main Street continued to suffer.

    Hey, the Dems had to pay back their party bosses at Morgan Stanley

    Perhaps.

    However, a flat tax rate will harm the poor, whom have far less discretionary spending money than the rich, much more than the rich.

    I do not think this is fair, and this is one reason I will never support a flat tax rate. Like it or not, as citizens of this country, we all stand or fall together, imo.

    Otherwise, no complaining when the poor band together and use their power of voting (which is just as powerful as yours) to vote in politicians whom will benefit them more than the rich.

    The rich don't want a war with the poor. There are many, many more of them.

    To bottom line it: Junk food is fast and easy compared to buying, preparing and serving healthy food. But, cheaper it's not.

    Yeah, Trump had to resort to tax forgiveness and tax cuts.

    Yes for the middle class...hence the record low unemployment and booming economy for all of America

    Sorry, didn't mean to just laugh at you.
    It's just funny how predictable falling back on talking points is for the right.
