No one making less than $400,000 a year would see their taxes go up under the plan. Instead, Ms. Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. Congress has previously rejected many of these tax ideas, even when Democrats controlled both chambers.

    My situation is not normal, but I was able to find a market with no/little competition by creating a foothold before anyone else did, and make a good living with it. I also remember what it was like to struggle with money and am aware of the struggles others are facing right now.

      As any good communist would do

      And now, like any good communist would be, you’re super upset that a central authority wants to take more than 37% of what you produced for yourself (since you have enough) and allocate it somewhere else, where there might not be enough. You’re saying you need to keep it for yourself, so you can keep doing communism with it.

      This is like communism 101, I feel bad for ever suspecting you of dishonesty

        I could be taxed at 100% and none of what I was taxed at would be allocated where it could do good somewhere else, you would be lining the pockets of capitalists and the military industrial complex.

          Wait, are you saying that sometimes the central authority amasses all this money and power, and then doesn’t do good things with it? Even though they’re saying that they are?

          Holy shit. I think you might be onto something…
