@chili_chug @MCCgvfq @TheSaurus831 I never said flat tax but I wouldn't be opposed to it. I only asked at what point are the rich paying their fair share. All I hear from the left is that they never pay their fair share, but when is enough enough? Also, how is the wealth inequality destroying our society?

@LEEROY1179 @MCCgvfq @TheSaurus831 You unironically are. You think that a flat tax on what one person determines as being "wealthy" is some kind of gotcha question. That makes no sense economically in a pay-to-play capitalist system unless you want the middle class erased. Wealth inequality is killing our society.

Good comeback. Calling me uneducated when you still can't say what's a fair share for the wealthy to pay in taxes. We're also not in a great depression anymore, so I'm not sure those policies would be necessary at this point. It's also been proven that when you over tax the rich and wealthy they will leave. When the rich spend their money, it's always a good thing. But then again I'm too stupid to understand that.

@LEEROY1179 @MCCgvfq @TheSaurus831 You're not wrong but there shouldn't be a firm limit. There's no social or mathematical justification for income over 500k to be taxed just as much as income over 10million.

@chili_chug @MCCgvfq @TheSaurus831 So it seems to me you don't have a firm limit on how much the wealthy should be taxed. A much more sensical approach would be to look at how much the government is spending and what they are spending on. There's plenty of tax revenue.

@LEEROY1179 @MCCgvfq @TheSaurus831 Marginal and progressive tax rates are a plurality of percentages. Essentially, if you net over $500k, everything after should be taxed higher. Anything over a million taxed even more. Over 10 million, cap that at 80%. If you reach $999,999,999 you get a trophy. No billionaires.

@jordanzakarin Are you sure about that? Seems to me that the Democratic way of gerrymandering was completely illegal as stated by the state supreme court of Virginia.

Supreme Court rules that Republicans can gerrymander as much as they want without any voter input, Democrats can’t change a map even if voters expressly approve. Sham of a democracy, institutionalism will kill us.

@SenatorHick Free and fair election huh? I seem to recall Colorado trying to kick off President Trump from the ballot. Has Colorado turned over those voter rolls as well to the feds?

Senator John Hickenlooper
Tina Peters is guilty as sin and a disgrace to Colorado. She tried to undermine Colorado’s free and fair election system. When she was caught red-handed, she was prosecuted by a Republican district attorney and rightfully convicted by a jury of her peers. Reducing her sentence sends the wrong message to those seeking to undermine trust in our elections and it will do nothing to deter Donald Trump’s illegal attacks on Colorado. I strongly disagree with this decision.

@NYCMayor Trump has single handily done more damage to the US economy & working class American than any politician in recent American history. MAGA hates to see democratic socialist winning. NYC continues to prove that electing Mamdani was the right choice to make.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Grocery prices are soaring. Putting a fresh vegetable in your shopping cart costs 11.5% more this year than it did last year. We need not accept rising costs as forces outside our control. Government can bring them down. Here in New York City, City Hall will do just that.
ABC News@ABC

Grocery prices in the U.S. soared faster in April than any month in nearly four years, driving up the cost of everything from frankfurters to tomatoes to cupcakes, according to government data. abcnews.link/xPaGhxl

@chili_chug @TheSaurus831 So you're saying it's okay for the state to bail out the city? To the tune of 4 billion? Oh wait, I can't ask questions anymore since I'm uneducated.

@LEEROY1179 @TheSaurus831 Wait until you learn how much of the state's funds and wealth are thanks to NYC and it's taxpayers. You'd do well to do your research before speaking on matters of which you're uneducated.

@chili_chug @TheSaurus831 Lol. Just totally disregard that bailout from the state where taxpayers and other parts of the state had to pay for New York cities. Horrible budget. Not to mention the numerous business that are leaving that city. But then again it actually takes brains to think logically.

@blockhim2026 I'd also be willing to bet good money that most of those teachers won't last more than a couple years, if they actually do hire an additional 1000.
