  1. Agreed she believes in taxing the rich, and wears a tax the rich slogan...not hypocrisy. Rubin's gullible conservative fan base will miss the obvious here.

  2. Rubin at 3:00 'Is it true that the rich aren't paying taxes?' Strawman Dave, no one is saying that. Again, what is your solution to regulating greed? Thank you. From your own chart the top 1% make about twice as much as the bottom 50%. That is the problem. And most of that income is made by investing in the work of others via high rents and low wages, in the words of Peterson tyrannical power forcing the masses to the bottom of the hierarchy.

  3. Dave, I know triggering your gullible conservative fan base is kind of low hanging fruit, and of course being a sycophant for ideologues is a good money making gig, e.g. you and Shapiro, but wearing a tax the rich dress doesn't make AOC a hypocrite. She is pro tax the rich. I hope that helps. But lets try this, here is my solution to regulating greed, tell me you get the benefits. You might also review the Scientific American paper Income Inequity its worse than you think...the income inequity gap grew to 350x from 20x in the last 50 years. Here is my plan: List the benefits to the economic and mental health of the nation from my idea on income inequity and regulating greed: INCOME EQUITY: The most common political solution to the struggling poor in the US is raise the minimum wage. This has the flaw of harming some small businesses and increasing inflation, and places the burden equally on struggling small businesses and ultra wealthy mega corporations. Here is my solution. Guaranteed federal housing program; you work 3 years at any job and you qualify to buy something, with a mortgage at 30% of your income. This is funded by a 70% marginal tax rate above $400,000 per year including capital gains. Get the working poor out from under the thumb of wealthy investors. 3 years even working at Target qualifies you for an affordable mortgage. You still have to pay that mortgage like anyone else or you default.

  5.  @ninjagirl226  I am talking about greed in the general population...the wealthy profiting off the work of others. How do you regulate that?

  6.  @ninjagirl226  You are missing my question. What is your solution to regulating greed? This requires a policy that limits the ability of the wealthy profiting off the work of others, simply to become ridiculously rich, beyond the amount of money necessary to live a fruitful life.

  7.  @stevemeszaros5132  How is wearing a tax the rich dress hypocrisy? She believes in tax the rich.

  8.  @alicepyne-jahneke8042  That isn't hypocrisy. It is spreading her message both to foe and friend alike. You go to their party and you tell them what you think they should do. If you go to their party and don't spread your message, then you are a hypocrite.

  9.  @Thesavagesouls  AOC is pro tax the rich, she wore a tax the rich dress. Rubin is wrong, that is not hypocrisy.

  10.  @irenec7665  She is wearing a dress that supports her belief, to share that belief among people of influence. It is the opposite of hypocrisy. Share me the link that wearing that slogan is an ethics violation.

  14.  @irenec7665  The homes are built or bought like normal. It doesn't effect the seller or builders. The federal government could buy homes or stockpile land for the program. List the benefits. It takes no time to find the answers but you can't find them? Weird theory.

  16.  @MichaelWright-xq1iw  I repeat. What is your solution to regulating greed? The wealthy profiting off the work of others? A flat tax is the opposite of regulating greed. I gather you don't have one. So here is mine. List the benefits. 70% marginal tax on income above 400k including capital gains funding a home ownership program for anyone with a three year work history.

  17. ​ @MichaelWright-xq1iw  I repeat. List the benefits to the economic and mental health of the nation of my home ownership plan: The most common political solution to the struggling poor in the US is raise the minimum wage.

You still have to pay that mortgage like anyone else or you default. As for your 8-10% flat tax the result would be: 1. The federal government would go severely into debt. 2. Thousands or millions of federal employees would lose their jobs. 3. A collapse of social security, medicare, and the military. You gave me a long list of home ownership increase? Remind me. As for your 'the bottom 46% pay no taxes'...cool when did that happen? I don't have to pay taxes this year? BTW prior to Reagan the marginal tax for top earners was around 90%. Did all rich people move to China then? Get the greed out of DC and there will be trickle down? How does that happen? Less than 100th of a percent of US citizens are federal legislators; how much do I get from my share of this 100th of a percent of people who can't be greedy?

  18.  @MichaelWright-xq1iw  Ok, you can't figure out the benefits of my home ownership plan. No problem. Here they are, if you dispute any benefit please specify: BENEFITS: 1. Stable housing costs of those crossing from renter to owner increases spending power for restaurants, vacations, better clothes and appliances etc, thus boosting the economy via demand. 2. Home ownership is hope; depression and crime reduce. 3. Above 400k there is little incentive for real estate investors to buy more property and little incentive to keep raising rents. This opens up the market for smaller investors, and by reducing rent costs increases spending power and thus demand. 4. Above 400k there is little incentive for business to keep wages low, thus wages increase and more employees move into higher management positions. My plan also reduces student loan debt. See if you can figure out how. 1 in 4 people work for the federal government? Can I see the stat? So if it 1 in 4 the immediate loss in jobs from cutting the federal budget would be something like 50 million jobs wouldn't it? The illegal base line budgeting of the federal government? Like the military? I agree cut military spending by at least 70% so we stop arming other countries and fighting their wars.

  19.  @MichaelWright-xq1iw  ok we agree on the benefits of my plan. My plan also helps small business... See if you can figure out how.

  25.  @tomharrison6607  Again; List the benefits to the economic and mental health of the nation. My plan doesn't penalize achievement; it penalizes greed. Above 400k/yr most money is made by investing in high rents and low wages, profiting off the work of others via power, not achievement.

  27.  @bassboostwoof6123  Rubin/Shapiro fans don't get how strongly these two guys spin stuff to the right. It isn't about objective analysis, it is pandering to their conservative gullible fan base. In a recent Rubin report he calls some democrat reporter a partisan clown; without noticing that he is describing himself.
