@tvmetz@RBReich We can adjust structure on what and how “value creation” is measured and awarded. As complex as tax structure (and universal health care, other approaches to public safety net etc) or as simple as adjusted minimum wage. Simplistic either/or constructs are silly.
@JustinHavens10@RockChartrand@RBReich Been a long time since I took stats, but I don’t think this says what you imply. The % is of wealth, not of population. A subset of middle’s becoming uppers does not account for all that wealth movement. Nor does a bigger pie. Apologies if I am misrepresenting your conclusion.
@docmurdock@allenanalysis Michael, your crowd needs controlling, but not by paying them as an easily deployed militia and pointing them at political opponents. Or at institutions. Or at demographic groups.
@BGwhatsaname@garrytan@RoKhanna I don’t blanket disagree… or agree. And I bet you don’t either (military, etc). But this is about tax policy, and like some of the huge societal issues (healthcare perhaps), there are places where caring for citizens collectively makes sense. A growing wealth gap is one for me.
@garrytan@RoKhanna If you’re right, perhaps a better solution is to federalize it. Then those folks can decide if they want to leave the country. I bet many will stay (1% not a convincing opportunity cost), and we’ll be fine without the others. Plus better health outcomes.
@MeidasTouch Always appropriate to ask what the fuck is wrong w this guy. But anymore it’s more appropriate to ask what the fuck is wrong with anyone who supports or works with him? Can they not read? Or think?
@TrustDML Christ is King? After a whiny diatribe like that? Toughen up, buttercup, and keep JC’s name out of your poser mouth. And you’re welcome for the engagement.
@Michael_Voris@Acyn Folk off Domer with your “liberal commies are evil” poser cos play. Don’t act as if you have issues with accuracy while simping for this admin. I sense a hypocrisy in you that dates to the earliest power structures you twisted in your favor.
@2jamielynn@Bubblebathgirl Christ on a cracker, JL! Grow a pair, pull on your big girl pants and accept your boy made this kind of discourse normal. And it was said on a Nazi-friendly platform w a lot of latitude.
