I theorize a bunch of drinks logged in a little too late. Pretty distributing

The proposal was 70% of income over $10 million, wacky.

It's pretty sad that most people don't understand very basic civic issues. I wish our public discourse was more about substantive issues instead of Trump Tweets and AOC.

The right’s denunciation of AOC’s “insane” policy ideas serves as a very good reminder of who is actually insane.

The controversy of the moment involves AOC’s advocacy of a tax rate of 70-80 percent on very high incomes, which is obviously crazy, right? I mean, who thinks that makes sense? Only ignorant people like … um, Peter Diamond, Nobel laureate in economics and arguably the world’s leading expert on public finance.

it's basically arguing about an ideal though, the actual impact would be nil. something that would matter would be reforming taxation of capital gains.

A congresswoman posted a tweet of her having fun and dancing and then I posted it on gE.com/pit and then some people got upset

Fiscal conservatives. The horror!

Institutional Control · « **Reply #771 on:** January 07, 2019, 07:58:00 AM »

What's a fiscal conservative? A Republican President and Congress just increased the national debt by $2 trillion in two years.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #772 on:** January 07, 2019, 09:03:31 AM »

I'm well aware of this. It's like he's a bad president or something. Thanks for your input, MM.

I find it weird Wacky makes a statement, and then it’s either proven wrong, or he’s asked to expand on a point. Then magically he pivots and says he’s either well aware of something that he had just been proven wrong on, OR backtracks and doesn’t answer the question asked.
