In other words, fraudulent misrepresentations

Both sides do it but the Democrats are masters at controlling the language and weak Republicans go along

How many Republicans have you heard talk about only having two sexes, a few but they should refuse to go along with the concept of people choosing their own pronouns

Gee, I wonder if it has to do with sky-high interest rates and funding a foreign war?

It’s it a matter of fixing anything it’s switching the tax burden to people who can easily afford higher taxes

Ask yourself how do we close a 30 trillion dollar deficit we’ve gone beyond the point of economic growth fixing the problem

Ask yourself is it right to tax people for their social security benefits

Is it fair that during Covid a huge number of billionaires were created

Is it fair that Bill Gates can earn a 20 to 1 investment return tax free

We are in a dire situation and everyone needs to participate in fixing the problem

Go after the wealth. see how fast it vanishes. GLTW.

it’s NOT a rich tax problem.

It IS a to few tax payer problem.

it’s also a spending problem. (the main problem)

BTW I believe we are past the tipping point and there is no coming back.

The rich are international—they are all powerful—they control all governments....you are like a Roman citizen ranting about the Gods...Zeus is so mean...

I do agree we are past the point of no return because neither party is committed to or capable of reforming the system

The rich are international but they do still operate in the largest economy in the world

That meter still have the ability to tax their earnings inside the country

We have beaten this subject to death.

I actually know rich people.

They would laugh at your comments and I won’t dare repeat what they would say about them....

Nice version “Catch me if you can....I have an army of lawyers and politicians in my pocket...”

Actually I know rich people too so your argument about how much you know is immaterial

We are 30 trillion in debt and spending nearly a trillion a year in interest especially as interest rates skyrocket, tell me what these wealthy people you know would do about that, unless they don’t consider the debt a problem

The problem with people like you and others is either they don’t understand the problem or they could care less about the problem

I do understand the problem.

The difference between your view and mine is I do not think there is a solution.

Whether I “care” or not is irrelevant—that is how liberals talk.
