  1. its not called a "marginal" tax rate. its a "progressive" tax rate which is NOT a reference to the political progressives. it refers to how incomes are taxed at a progressively increased amount as income increases. we have that now! everyone pays the same tax rate on the same amount of money. for instance, right now no one pays taxes on their first 10k. from 10k to 25k everyone pays the same tax rate. from 25 k to 75 k - the same. billionaires are taxed at the same rate for their first 25k "earned" as people who make only 25k. as the income increases the tax rates increase for each higher income bracket. that's how all taxes work and have, pretty much, always worked in "modern" times. the only difference now is that the top tier tax rate is at the obscenely low rate of about 30% rather than at 70% what's wrong with demanding the elite return a portion of their wealth to the society from which it was stolen? no rich person ever went broke from a progressive tax system even as high as 90%. its income that's taxed NOT wealth already accumulated.

  2. +Nick… that's just crazy. cortez isn't a rapist, a womanizer, a tax cheat, a draft dodger, a racist, a habitual liar and profiteer. and she hasn't filed for numerous bankruptcies, stiffed her creditors and wasn't born rich and she isn't rich now. she and trump have nothing in common whatsoever.
