I am proposing a 99% income tax on all liberals (progressives what ever they are calling themselves this week), with no write offs. $0.99 of every dollar you “earn” for your trashy movies, books, fake news, bad political tv shows and just bad tv shows will be taken and given to the poor you always whine about taking care of. Let’s start with your money getting re-distributed and see how that works before they start in on mine. Oh and before you say that it’s unconstitutional, isn’t that what Obamacare does to Doctors???
10% flat tax NOW, it’s good enough for God, it’s good enough for the U.S. Government.
Pass the amendment to cap spending!
I think the first few on the list for the income distribution they so crave should be George Clooney, Matt Damon, Oprah and George Soros.
I wish we had a congressman with the you know whats to drop this bombshell bill on them, just for the hypocrisy show it would bring!!!

michael_68_1999 (Diary) Thursday, March 4th at 1:09PM EST (link)gladly would pay that much of their income — because that would mean higher taxes for everyone, and much greater power given to progressive government, which they then could influence.
If they have no money
Randy (Diary) Thursday, March 4th at 3:09PM EST (link)They have no influence… once the government takes their money, they have no further power or influence. That is the evil secret that liberals/progressives don’t understand, once government removes your ability to “pursue life, liberty and happiness”, you become a “subject” not a “citizen”.
They should be challenged to walk their talk.
Common_Cents (Diary) Thursday, March 4th at 4:46PM EST (link)Where in the constitution does it say you are restricted to pay the minimum taxes due?
If they want all these programs why can’t they write in a little extra every April 15 to the treasury? If they believe in govt so much why don’t they put their money where their mouths are?
There was some ridicule of the GOP by DEMS after the health care photo op saying why don’t these REPS give up their cadillac govt health care if it is so bad and unaffordable?
I’d turn right around and say, why aren’t you paying extra in taxes to be a good example in supporting all these programs?
Obama=Golfer in Chief, Leading from,
behind, the Back Nine.Leaders don’t create movements. Movements create leaders. Get involved. Your future depends on it.
Govt “invests” YOUR tax money for POLITICAL return rather than economic return.
AMEN
