Manchin says tax on uber-wealthy is "divisive"

[Coventina]

Um.....how, exactly?



330,000,000 / 20 ?

1. At this point. He's the one that's divisive

[Claire Oh Nette]

2. Right...

It divides the spoils the uber wealthy billionaire class stole by design from the rest of us.

Clinton managed a surplus with a top marginal rate of 39.6%. Methinks Make the 700 pony up another 4% on every dollar over $1,000,000,000, AND make every single church Tithe while we are at it.

Elon Musk worries about losing $10,000,000,000 of the $36,000,000,000 he "earned" last Thursday. And Manchin denies workers in his own state the dignity of making $31,000 per year with an increased minimum wage ($15).

We've been living in a feudal system, whether we like it or not, for decades. Thanks, Reagan.

I'm starting to think Yang's UBI should come right out of Musk's and Bezo's and the other Billionaires with a Bs pockets.

Corporations should have to increases wages and salaries before a dime of dividends is ever distributed to the shareholders.

3. Yes it is . 99% to 1%

Nothing to worry about!

4. Some reporter

Should ask Manchin if using the Roth IRA was intended to be used for founders stock so they can avoid paying taxes. Secondly should they be able to borrow against their stock earnings to avoid paying themselves a salary so they avoid paying taxes.

5. Divisive to whom? !!!!!

[Volaris]

16. Mitch McConnell would be my guess.

[JustAnotherGen]

6. So is a SALT Cap

But he went along with that.

[pandr32]

7. Apparently over burdening the poor and middle classes is not divisive

Because we ordinary folks are taking it on in heaps, directly and indirectly.
Where is Manchin on this?

[Coventina]

8. On his boat, apparently

[pandr32]

9. LOL!

True.

[Coventina]

14. *grin* n/t

[lagomorph777]

10. One big underwater rock away from heaven.

We can dream.

[Coventina]

13. LOL!!

[leftstreet]

11. Schumer will probably strip him of his appointments

That's what McConnell would threaten to do if he couldn't keep his people in lock step

Yeah, any minute now...

12. After they are taxed, they are still very rich. So

why have sympathy? Who would complain when they still have so so much after the tax? We should hear this from the rich? Who are you that wants so much? They won't say because we will fight them however we can.

15. "Divisive, as it will divide my donor's cash from me." -Manchin, probably
