Hmmm. I wonder why we "leftists" won't just pay more voluntarily. Eh, Gasbag?
I also wonder why you self-professed undertaxed leftards don't voluntarily pay more tax. You should know better than me since I'm not the phucking hypocrite that you are. So, the top 1% of taxable US income earners pay 40% of the federal income tax. In February 2020 let us know what was wrong with the US economy which was generating the highest increase in US middle income wages in decades. Not enough tax revenue to fund public education which sucks? The actual truth is that the "income" of the wealthy doesn't include increases in their investment portfolio. When they die, this "untaxed" wealth is subject to a 40% federal estate tax rate. For some reason, the ultra red state of California doesn't have an estate tax. You should fix that. You suck at this.
The White House noted that its estimate of the tax rate for the wealthiest households is "much lower" than other groups' estimates of top income tax rates. The administration's takes into account income from unrealized capital gains, which is not typically included in this type of analysis.[/b]
A permanent upper class defined by large, lightly taxed inheritances is perfectly fine with Gasbag.
How much of other peoples money are you entitled to there fagbag? What's your estimate?
The dazzler would say a whole bunch of his money but he would only do so at gunpoint. That's the way he rolls.
My effective federal income tax rate is a lot higher than any [/b] estimate of the 400 wealthiest families' effective rate. I'm don't think I should subsidize them more than I already do.
Noted. But you know that's not going to change, and Bernie, Elizabeth Warren, and AOC are no different than any of the republicans that you blame for this problem.
It's not going to change as long as lower middle class whites from sparsely populated rural districts vote GOP or Manchin.
That's really dumb, you know. The entire west coast is dominated by democrats, and they can do whatever they want. And as we've already pointed out, raising taxes just to do it isn't the answer. What is it that you want to raise the taxes for? Let's see some solid policy analysis. How much money is being spent on homelessness in Seattle? Should we spend more on that?
If you want to change the subject to local governance, start a new thread. This is about taxes at the federal level.
You blamed magatards for not having higher taxes. I pointed out that states can enact taxes, including estate taxes. Feel free to look that up anytime. And you know that innovation by a state can in fact lead to changes at the federal level.
