IDK, didn’t it sort of work out in the Middle Ages?That is not a sustainable way for an economic system to survive.

Do you not understand our progressive tax code? 2nd, 15% on investment income, could use some work. 3rd, under $50K and you don't pay a dime (potentially). 4th, pump out a kid or 3 and EITC can get you $3K per kid back when you never paid a dime in. NOT A DIME. 5th, lawmakers will funnel those $$ somewhere else, like the social security/medicare insolvency. 6th, just like the sugar tax proposals...poof and still a bunch of fat people. 7th, give $$/benefits to illegals that suck resources and are a net loss to the economy...Imagine if those rich people actually paid the same percentage of tax as we do. A lot of that money could potentially be reinvested into the economy or at very least, the infrastructure and social services. But may as well also hope that unicorns exist.

And somehow our billionaire president has managed to convince the peasants that he is one of them.... Too P&N?It worked for a while, when you kept the peasants ignorant and disease-ridden, living in the slop, for generations on end. They were too sick or dead and too stupid and too thoroughly convinced that their God had demanded it be that way.
...then they learned to read and eventually a lot of heads started rolling. I guess this is kinda what we are voting for again?
And then there's the comprehension problem.Reading causes so many problems.
Don't delude yourself into thinking the other 435 in DC don't consider you a peon too.And somehow our billionaire president has managed to convince the peasants that he is one of them.... Too P&N?
Funny thing. If you look at the list of the richest people in the US, most of them are on the political left.
So are you willing to tax them more now?
