  4. Economically we have had the same president since Reagan or worse. That includes President Obama. In fact it was only the present president that exercised much in the way of leadership towards any kind of serious infrastructure reinvestment.

  9. No rich person became poor because of taxes. And it's called a graduated income tax. You're not paying 71% of your total income, you're paying 71% of a particular bracket of income.

  10. Even during the time of these taxes that they're talking about, the only way they would have taken 71% of a million is if You had already made 1.5 million. Which was the starting of the top tax bracket for single filers, and 3 million if you were finally jointly. So you would have paid 91% tax on your fourth million-dollar mode if you were filing jointly or Any money you made after 1.5 million if you were filing singularly. (Dollar values I'm giving you or adjusted to 2023 standards with inflation.) The wealthier you are the more you benefit from the state. A poor person does not drive as many benefits from living the United States as a rich person does and therefore the rich person actually owes more taxes. Even at a 91% tax rate you're still motivated to make more money. 90% of a million still means you made $100,000 after your 1.5 million. Rich people who do not pay the amount that they consume are parasites, not people being ripped off.

  17. It's points on a board. How else do you get to feel better than other people? The parasite class needs an infinite amount more than everyone else around them so they can always feel better. It's how they know they're winning.

  20. Newton believed in alchemy. Obviously we should get rid of calculus. I wonder what it's like to live a life so deprived of nuance that you feel that if people are not perfectly right at all times they are absolutely wrong at all times.
