• Biden's IRS plan spawns a liberal war

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 31 09:29:30 2023
    Cuz those 2%'ers don't really want to pay their fair share.

    Anyway.....love to see the intralib culture war. I always knew that the lower upper class would not want to fund the socialist leanings of their liberal party when the bills come due. And the ultra rich will always find a way to avoid their taxes just
    like Bill Gates avoids discussing any details of his relationship with Epstein.

    You've confused McArdle with a liberal. If you want a real tax war, look
    at the Republican proposal for a 30% national sales tax.

    The Post has a non-liberal living in their midst? Careful, don't doxx her...her life could be in jeopardy.

    The Fair Tax Act introduced by Representative Earl "Buddy" Carter would abolish income, payroll, estate and gift taxes.
    You'll be paying your fair share.

    Really now. That concept originated outside the RWNJ echo chamber.
    Shmoos like scottw are not obliged to acknowledge any such jabber.
    They are only required to obey their thought-masters like redstate and RT.

    So when you pay... it's regressive. When someone else pays, it's just their fair share.
    I got it.

    As the new cliche goes, show you don't understand regressive taxation
    without saying you don't understand regressive taxation.

    Reminds me of Carville tonight.
    "That (dumbass) McCarthy wouldn't understand socialism if it....."
    (and then a few seconds later)
    "I don't know what they mean by socialism, it's just a word...."

    I think the Child Tax Credit is ageist.
