I had no idea shamans lived in iowa


To be fair, it's estimated there are 205 Americans that fit into that category and their annual income works out to about 20 billion a year in total (based on 2017 figures). Warren's two cents on the dollar tax (increase I assume?) only adds up to 400 million dollars.

Unless she's saying let them keep two cents on the dollar, I, too, struggle to see how everything adds up.*

*Americans should have free healthcare, though.

She obviously is talking about money that is offshore which are in the Trillions in addition to what is in the US.

Is she just going to tax income, and not wealth? I don't know the plan.

it's a wealth tax, not income.

Yeah, I'm not intimately failiar with her plan. Just going off the quotes in the tweet and looking at it from a basic taxation perspective where it doesn't add up to much more in the coffers.

Hard to tell from the tweet. There it looks like it's applied to annual income but from what RD says maybe it's different.

I've posted a link above.

She is pretty smart. Sure she wont do a 'Biden'.
 
She is also clearly making an estimate of Off Shore Assets.

Its a reasonable assumption on her part.

I'm mean, it's infinitely amusing to hear Republican supporters talking about the stupidity of people believing politicians (especially at the Iowa State Fair where they're probably earning below the median American income) but it does go both ways. If she's considering offshore wealth, Warren's figures are based on estimates that are difficult to validate.

I don't dispute that.

But it is far more reasonable than giving a tax cut to the top based on Voodoo Economics. Trickle Down...which has no basis whatsoever.
 
The fact is Warren's plan will definitely bring in enormous revenue. Its a matter of getting an accurate number.
One other factor that is not being considered is the source of this wealth may well reveal money that should never have been earned. Therefore fully being confiscated.

Yes. It will take force.

But hey. With power an 'offer can be made that cannot be refused' eh? ;)
 
That is a distinct possibility in view of the direction the Democratic party machinery is taking.
I don't even think it's that, I think it's just that his supporters will all get out and vote. You can't say the same for people on the left.

"Trump is a racist and he's NOT MY PRESIDENT!"

"Did you vote?"

"umm no"

That's literally thousands of people.

I see Bernie is using Cardi fecking B to appeal to younger voters :lol:


I wonder if they discussed drugging and robbing men? :lol::lol::lol:

As far as I know Cardi's never owned up on the vile transphobic shit she's said, so I'm not exactly buying her as an ally of the downtrodden.

Also, yes, Trump will win, I think.

You are speaking of enthusiasm.

If the Dems nominate a damp squid like Biden, yes. they will lose.
 
The Dems are pathetic. Trump will win hands down. In fact if he didn’t utter one more word between now and the election he’d still win

Pretty sure she said that she said it and apologised like a couple years ago.

Completely honestly, if you ever find this I want to see it. I know many people who love her and I spend my life biting my tongue.

All I can find via google is her denying she posted a 'transphobic meme'. Which I don't know much about. It is her lengthy rant about how if a man cheated on her she would trick him in to having sex with a transwoman that I'm upset by.
