She saying capitalism depends on socialist policies.

A bit of Obama-esque "You didn't build that!" mated with a fairly typical tactic for the weaker minded Dems: take something us 'deplorables' like, and try to link it to a Lefty policy position. All it ever ends up being is a weird, patronizing non-sequitur, because they think we're too stupid to notice the feeble bait and switch:

If you like capitalism, you need socialist tax policy!

A real Christian supports abortion! (I call this one the Nancy Pelosi special).

If you support fairness in sports, you'll support the 6'3" 230 lb "woman" with a d*ck and a 5 o'clock shadow who harms "her" his opponents!

If you support the Second Amendment, you'll support "common sense" gun control in support of it!

Of course I support choice in schools, that's why I want the government to mandate everything possible about education without parental discretion!

Of course I support choice in healthcare, that's why we need to socialize it!


The pattern isn't hard to recognize, because it's always just a right wing statement forcibly melded to a leftwing policy in a fashion that would make Frankenstein pull away in disgust...

Of course I support basic math skills! That's why I'm co-sponsoring the 2+2 = Trans-5 Act of 2025! [AOC, probably...]

If a salaried American citizen faces increased rates, he pays more tax. The boss isn’t going to cut his salary.

I don't see a connection there. Am I missing something? Did you mean to say, "The boss isn't going to raise his salary"?

“It is better to collect 5% of trillions, than 40% of NOTHING!”

I suspect the screaming and stock market declines are due to the likely increased ability to collect corporate income tax upon reindustrialization of the US.

NOTE: The US government could make the US shareholders (or their stockbroker or mutual fund) pay the corporate income tax instead of the corporation.

No!

When I was young, if my income tax was raised significantly, I’d probably ask for a salary increase and look for new and better paid employment if I didn’t get it.

It’s not that we need more taxes, it’s more like we need less government.

I think all congressional raises should have to be approved by the voters.

Amy needs to read "Atlas Shrugged". She clearly doesn't understand the concept of capitalism or individual rights to life, liberty and private property.

I don’t believe in capitalism but I do believe in the free-market value-added economy.

And corporations DON’T PAY TAXES, they simply pass the debt along to the citizens why buy their goods and services.
