A decent argument for 3%, lulz no. Even the countries that try it don't even do more than 1% because they aren't crazy. Most of them do less than 1%. The Democrats are so far out in left field, they are making the socialist Europeans look like staunch free market capitalists in comparison, it's hilarious.brewster wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 11:43 pmI had a huge chuckle this week from a letter in the Times citing Biden's age as the reason they were supporting Bloomberg.

I'm still sticking with Warren, she's a much better public speaker, though against Bloomberg that is admittedly a low bar. 8 years ago I voted in the primary for Hillary because I thought a black man was unelectable. I think the electability thing can be overrated.
That said I think she's seriously fucked up with the 6% billionaire tax proposal. There was a decent argument for 3%, it would simply slow the growth of their fortunes, but 6% starts to be an existential threat.

That’s my favorite part of her platform. We’ve achieved the greatest wealth disparity in history.brewster wrote: ↑Sun Nov 10, 2019 11:43 pmI had a huge chuckle this week from a letter in the Times citing Biden's age as the reason they were supporting Bloomberg. Bloomberg is a year older!

Re: Poll: What is the most overrated sport
Faggots. You'd rather the poor were poorer, provided the rich were less rich. Envy is a helluva drug. Drive all the wealthy out of America, that will result in more taxes for the poor people you claim to care about so much, oh wait, it won't, it will result in less taxes for the social programs you champion and y'all are out to slay the golden goose.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 10:03 amThat’s my favorite part of her platform.

Re: Poll: What is the most overrated sport
Well the actual solution would involve ending corruption in government. Odds of a high progressive tax are much better.StCapps wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 10:04 amFaggots.

Either way, this is end-stage capitalism. Nothing gets fixed until the pitchforks are out.

Re: Poll: What is the most overrated sport
Capitalism has just gotten started, it's nowhere near the end game. Nothing gets fixed by bringing out the pitchforks, that will just make things worse. Slaying the golden goose is a terrible way to solve income inequality, if that is even the result, which it usually isn't.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 10:17 amWell the actual solution would involve ending corruption in government.

So then the solution is to sit tight and vote until the food riots begin. Good plan.

Re: Poll: What is the most overrated sport
Better than making the problem worse and inciting the riots. Just because a plan isn't perfect doesn't mean you should try a far inferior plan as if that is best course of action.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 3:54 pmSo then the solution is to sit tight and vote until the food riots begin.

You want the world's problems fixed overnight, and if you can't have it, it's just because no one tried your stupid plan that has no chance of fixing the problem overnight, you just think it will, because wishful thinking is a helluva drug.
