@Opus21121@BladeoftheS It's insanity that someone sitting on their ass collecting dividends is taxed lower than people breaking their ass. You can take that kind of capitalist fuedalism and shove it.
@Opus21121@BladeoftheS Then on top of that, W2 has FICA taxes too. While an extra 3.8% is only applied to capital gains after $200K in earning. Even Warren Buffet famously noted he pays a lower rate than his secretary did.
@Opus21121@BladeoftheS You can watch whole videos, man. They pay much lower taxes. Hell, my own taxes on my dividends are taxed lower than my W2 taxes. Long term capital gains maxes out at 20%, it's 20k on W2 work at just 50k income abd keeps going up to 37%. There's your unfair rate right there.
@Opus21121@BladeoftheS I told you how you lied by omission. Read it again. Total taxes paid vs tax rate. Also, it's not "theft", it's being part of society. Should rich people be allowed to become feudal lords who pay nothing to cops, fire fighters, teachers, road or sanitation workers?
@Opus21121@BladeoftheS You're the one being stupid. Or are you lying by omission when you never mention the tax rate and just mention the total tax amount? And what's wrong with the rich paying most of the taxes? They've got most of the money. You can't tax a person who has no money.
@JDCOM537@michaelt5656 It's being artificially kept low through backroom deals with China and flooding the market with our own strategic petroleum reserve. But that all only works for so long before the oil simply runs out.
@NassauExec No you won't. Republicans are bullshit wrapped in false promises sprinkled with half truths.
No one's falling for Republicans complaining about affordability anymore.
@Michae1Hinrichs@WendyCh80474263@elonmusk The ping is still very high compared to fiber, wifi or even cellular network. You can still surf the web comfortably but competitive gaming does still need that sub 5ms ping.
@LeotisBeaman@Gianl1974 So you've seen what technology can do yourself over time. The 386 just came out in '86, my phone's chip is something like 9,000 times faster.
@LeotisBeaman@Gianl1974 That's the cost today. It'll change in 5 years, definitely in 10. Besides that, it's not even solar we need. We need more nuclear but no one wants to build more nuclear plants. Like again, the chinese, while big oil bribes our politicians to stay on oil. Or worse, go back to coal
@LeotisBeaman@Gianl1974 You think technology will stagnate? Tell me, are computers today the same as in 1985...? No? They're more efficient and thousands of times faster? Imagine that. As time goes on, technology gets cheaper and more efficient. Solar panels will generate more and AI will need less.
@The_Spectre6@SenSanders Don't worry your little butt off. They'll figure out how to make the requirements so bad, even eligible people will have a hard time keeping it.
@Opus21121@BladeoftheS Nice misinformation there. Tell me, when bezos or musk or Zuckerberg sell stock, do they pay full income tax like a retail employee or a lower capital gains tax rate?
Kids, This chart is what happens when disingenuous people try to hide facts.
@LeotisBeaman@Gianl1974 Ah yes, because new forms of energy is communist. What an idiot you are. The chinese are SELLING solar panels and you're bitching about communism. Those communists are doing pretty good with their shiny high speed rail while our infrastructure crumbles as we bomb children.
@LeotisBeaman@Gianl1974 Fool! You think oil will be around the next 5 billion years? The sun will be. Wind will be. Eventually fusion will be figured out and then oil is all over. This entire crisis should lead to one of 2 results: a huge expansion of oil in previously untapped places or its elimination
