Between AOC and Andrew Yang there is actually a lot to be excited about in politics. AOC would be perfect, and taxing everyone on there 10 millionth and one dollar and up at 70 percent would make America number one again. We would all have free health care and dental and our governemnt would be so rich, schools would be better, teachers would get paid more, and we can finally start paying back the national debt. Defecit spending needs to stop. But let’s be realistic. The elite will never let her happen. They just wont. I will settle for Yang and his thousand bucks a month to everyone over 18. Tired of Trump’s greedy hate and dividing everyone.
OP, if you want to catch up on a serious discussion, feel free to check out Yang's thread. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.php?threads/official-andrew-yang-for-president-2020-thread.296602/
This thread is simply democrats and non-republicans, who do you prefer? They are both running for the Democratic party, so thry have a chance of winning the presidency, unlike Bernie.
You can tax the wealthy at 100 percent and still wouldn't be able to pay for all the social programs the far left is proposing.
Republican? This is not about directions or sides. It is about taxing people who make over $10 million a year more, which 99.99999999 percent of the population wants. Not because they do not make that much, but because at some point too much is too much. The fact that companies like Amazon and netflix provide value is great, but they have shut down many small and large businesses. How is it they pay no taxes? And they want to automate everything wich is also fine, but at least pay your taxes. Or give everyone over 18 a thousand dollars a month to compete and take some of the edge off. Many who graduate college are unemployed and more women are graduating than men (70% to 30%). College is not for everyone, especially men. It will raise the minimum wage because people wont take these low skilled, low paying jobs unless they are fairly compensated.
I don't know who told you Amazon and Netflix aren't paying taxes. I'm pretty sure Amazon and Netflix both pay state taxes and at the same time create jobs in the state. Also, UBI was proposed by Yang because he believes automation is taking jobs away from the working class. I have no problem with that but as of right now the unemployment rate is at 4 percent. We're just not there yet but that doesn't mean we won't be in the future.
Amazon pays no federal income tax for 2018, despite soaring profits, report says https://www.usatoday.com/story/mone...18-federal-income-tax-report-says/2886639002/ Netflix Posted Biggest-Ever Profit in 2018 and Paid $0 in Taxes https://itep.org/netflix-posted-biggest-ever-profit-in-2018-and-paid-0-in-income-taxes/ Apple Successfully Avoids $50 Billion in American Taxes https://gizmodo.com/apple-successfully-avoids-50-billion-in-american-taxes-1822189738 What is real is these are three of the leaders in tech and they paid no income taxes. These are just three examples of the biggest companies everyone knows. Unemployment rate is not an indicator of quality of jobs available and number of above minimum wage jobs available which you can live on. It does not include people who want jobs but are no longer searching for jobs because they have given up. It is a deeply flawed statistic. Lets not use it as an indicator of how well the economy is doing. If you want to, then please go flip burgers or work as a butcher in a factory for 3 months and report back about how well these folks are doing.
Yang is right, it needs to be a VAT if you actually want tax revenue. Tax rates don't pay for things, revenue does and the correlation between rates and revenue isn't really there in the US federal tax system.
If "they" includes AOC, I guess my only option is Yang. Yangs shtick is the $1000 UBI. Nevermind that will never pass, he is not addressing any other issue out there. Sadly Trump is much more qualified than Yang will ever be. Im not sure why you would ever think Bernie has a lower chance of winning than Yang or AOC in 2020. You really should catch up on the political landscape. Here is a freebie: AOC is ineligible to run for president. So again, go see Yangs thread where UBI is being discussed in a serious manner.
Someone pointed out that We give Isreal 10 million dollars a day But Isreal has Free universal healthcare and Free College Why are we ok with paying for them to have free everything but thing having it for ourselves so taboo? Rocket River
Ironically all three of these companies are heavily influenced by liberals. Which goes back to what I have said in the past, Liberals are all about freebies and welfare until someone starts lifting the dollar from their pocket.
The age should not be 35. What makes 35 any different than 29? Bernie ran for his own ticket on an independent party. In order to win presidency in the United States of America you have to run Democrat or Republican. That is the only way you can be president in this country. Bernie Sanders is neither so he can never be president. He is more of a distraction than anything.
Liberal, Republican, left, right. It means nothing. Blaming is not the answer. We have two good candidates coming up who can actually make some decent changes and that is what’s important. It seems some people only want to talk about the past and blaming and that is not the answer to a better future.
Because by 35 the unicorns and rainbows imaginary crap has mostly been beaten out of them, and the constraints of reality are generally understood.
That happens by 25 easily in todays america. Add 5 years on top of that and 30 is perfect. We dont need old greed or what what you put it as, deperessed individuals leading us.
Is there a fourth option: not a Republican, Trump is too much of a piece of **** to enable by supporting a wall that he idiotically claimed would be paid for by a foreign country, I don't think you're going to get 100,000 people or whatever to pay 70% of their income and nobody's going to ever support UBI.
