Note to Occasional Cortex: When you add up federal state income, Medicare, Social Security, state income, property, sales, license, and more taxes, they already are!

To piggy back on your post.

Citizens of Puerto Rico do not pay Federal income tax, so they do not get to vote in Federal elections.

It seems that “no taxation without representation” also means “no representation without taxation”

It’s already being done, it’s legal, take it nation-wide. Net contributors can vote, net takers cannot.

Thanks for the review, I had forgotten about this. Good to be reminded from time to time.

Hell, why not 99.999% income tax, sweets? Heck, why not 105%?

stalin had a ‘green new deal’ -— the millions of corpses mouldering in the death pits of his gulags

I see ‘evolution in action’ likely for this arrogant and stupid leftist/neo-commie

Hey stoopid valley girl, you tax wealthy folks like that and just like wealthy are leaving N.Y., N.J., Calif., etc due to high taxes, you tax America’s rich like that and they all will move to another less stoopid country.
and to think, this is the NEW thing the dems have to offer?

The UK tried it at a 95% surtax in the 60’s. The Beatles sang about it and a lot of wealthy earners moved to other countries...:^)

Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
‘Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
‘Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
‘Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.

Why stop there? How about giving anyone with bank accounts above a certain amount a ‘haircut’? Get the banks’ cooperation (possibly, not legal because I thought that was private information) by giving them a percentage of the spoils. Prevent the cash from going missing by only allowing limited transactions of the account holders, and limit the amount of wealth that an individual can have in precious metals, too. Of course, the rich politicians that make all the rules will have their accounts off shore where they still have some level of privacy and protection from this govt. sponsored extortion.
