"But How Are They Gonna Pay For It" Will Be All We Hear About Covid Relief - Answers

[DanieRains]

1. Same way we will pay for the $8 Trillion Trump borrowed to prop up his disaster.

2. We make the 1% pay taxes at the same rate working people do.

3. Ask the billionaires who are sitting on $50 Trillion in wealth, and don't pay diddly in taxes.

Just be ready.

That's right. We tax wealth, not just wages. Problem solved!!!

1. A lot of that wealth should have been

paid in wages and would have been taxed then. Think Walmart, Amazon, Lyft Uber etc

2. If we just reverse the $1.9B Trump tax cuts for the wealthy, don't we create a "wash"? nt

lower congressional wages to $25k annually. Max.

4. Or "The Covid Relief will pay for itself"

It will stimulate the economy and generate enough growth and tax revenue. Call it trickle up!

10. I have no doubt it will pay for itself. As will an infrastructure bill.

I see these programs as investments that will increase our country's value.

The Party representing the already wealthy shouldn't complain. It will increase their wealth more than anybody's.

Targeted, widespread spending stimulates our economy far more than tax cuts of equal value.

5. I like Liz Warrens tax on the rich idea...imagine that..

the ultrawealthy ..could bring in billions in revenue...

Pays a 2% tax on the $950 million between $50 million and $1 billion, and a 6% tax on the remaining $19 billion,..sweet!!! Let's get it done..(I understand this proposal is also on Sanders website)..

7. My standard answer to that question is

"By taxing the living shit out of people who have so much money they wouldn't even notice if you took half of it away from them."

8. Just give them a dose of their GOP Serpent Lubricant: "It'll pay for itself with increased growth."

9. Tax and tax

As Harry Hopkins, the great aide to FDR, once said: We will tax and tax, and spend and spend, and elect and elect.
