The push for socialism is on the rise. More and more Democrats are running on this since Bernie Sanders had so much popularity.

Can you survive 70-90 percent taxes? If you can’t, what will you do?

You're also very ignorant, this isn't new

The rich were paying MARGINAL TAX RATE OF 70% IN 1980

After which policies changed, loopholes were created, and now they pay less than you and me

You really need to read

Its annoying to teach you things

You don't even know what marginal tax rate means

It doesn't mean taking 70% of someone income

You're really ignorant

Making vague statements like 70 to 90% that is easily misconstrued is why I hate both the left and right side. Too many ignorant folks fall for the fearmongering that both sides purposely do.

Do you make 11,000,001 a year?

If not, dont worry about the 70% tax.

So much selective hearing going on.

So I should just ignore everything that doesn’t concern me? Whoa

How logical is it of me too protect rich people, while I'm paying more taxes than them?

This is crazy talk to me

Maybe because they are helping you.

Do you have employer matching 401k plans and employer contribution health plans?

I am all for a flat income tax and adding a federal sales tax to pay for health care. The more discretionary income you have, the more you spend. The wealthier will automatically pay more. No forms, no loopholes.

Shhhhhh. You’re rational thinking is going to offend someone

Really they used to have pensions, now mt small retirement is attached to the stock market , which makes who rich?

They're not helping me, companies forced by law to to do certain things for the workforce

Individuals aren't companies dude

Throughout history, it has happened when capitalism has run amok and/or has been perverted.
