Ocasio-Cortez floats 70 percent tax on the super wealthy to fund Green New Deal

politico.com/story/2019/01/04/ocasio-cortez-70-percent-tax-1080874

Trump hater here. Mainly because of his lies and cons and the stupidity he enables in his base. However this commie Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needs to go fast.

"Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is floating an income tax rate as high as 60 to 70 percent on the highest-earning Americans to combat carbon emissions.

Speaking with Anderson Cooper in a “60 Minutes” interview scheduled to air Sunday, Ocasio-Cortez said a dramatic increase in taxes could support her “Green New Deal” goal of eliminating the use of fossil fuels within 12 years — a goal she acknowledges is ambitious.

Ocasio-Cortez pointed out that in a progressive tax rate system, not all income for a high earner is taxed at such a high rate. Rather, rates increase on each additional level of income, with dramatic increases on especially high earnings, such as $10 million."

Has anyone mentioned the phrase 'capital flight' within earshot of this lunatic? I imagine it would lead to a rather entertaining triggering.

What a clown. That’s New York for you. She’ll become a limpwristed underling and wind up as Bernie Sanders ultimately. She gets posted way too much here. An insect.

She won't be around much longer making statements like that.

Lmao, enjoy all the people with money to leave the country in a month. We'll chill at the bahama's while you turn into Venezuela.

For some reason I cannot trust people where their teeth show at neutral expression. Black bleak eyes, teeth exposed nonstop – we need the goblin slayer.

Enjoy the global hit teams sent after all those traitors and making examples out off them to would be dissenters.

Actually, if corporations like Amazon, Apple and Google had to pay taxes, along with all these other big wigs from banking to big pharma it would not bother me.

The only problem is anyone targeted by this kind of high tax would flee the US, and all the employees would be fired.

NOW for the question: are there exemptions hidden within this massive tax bill? Who actually gets the govt subsidies? Why does she want to "upgrade" our homes? Upgrade our homes with what exactly!? That itself raises a red flag, because there is no hell of a way I'd support Google subsidies so the govt could force their shitty "smart" [SPY] products into my home.

Just goes to show that the Democrats don't vote based on intelligence. "We have to vote her in because its the right thing to do" lols

TRUTH

that's why you can't just tax corps higher, you also have to tax their goods if they decide to take all their workforce out of the US and hire people who are glad to make a dollar a day. moving production out of the US? fine, the iphone will now have a $1000 tax added to it if you want to sell it in the US. other developed countries will have to follow suit, then we'll be back to where we used to be. western economies and families will thrive with jobs since it won't be worth moving production if you can't sell it to your market, or the corps will be taxed so much, the country will have enough to take care of it's citizens. a socialist paradise, thanks to capitalism.

I'd support socialism if it included a plan to start WW3 and have America conquer the entire world and then set up a world government, because then there'd be no where left to flee too and the world capitalist economy couldn't isolate the socialist state, but rather the world socialist state would track down and destroy the capitalists.

Otherwise, without taking on this monumental task, socialism is impossible. Socialists are too cowardly and stupid to do what is necessary to achieve their goals. Imperialism is supposedly reactionary but it's literally the only way to avoid ending up like Venezuela when world markets decide you have nothing worth selling.

Found the scummy jew.

God forbit our masters leave. What will we do without all of that (((money))). Better let them keep extracting resources and labor so that they don't leave us. How could we possibly exchange goods and services without a middleman siphoning away our work? ;_;
protip: most of their assets are invested in American companies and many more own American businesses. They can't tax doge on those. Maybe a few will try and jump ship and liquidate their assets, but the majority will just funnel more money into "nonprofits" that work in their interest like they always do. The truth is they need us way more than we need them. Convincing you that they are the source of wealth is the greatest trick they ever pulled. Sure ocasio's plan is dumb, but not for your brainlet reason.

This right here. Democrat tax bills are always grandstanding combined with self enrichment. If the bill has no loopholes to make it an effective 0% tax increase and isn't used for insider trading I will be surprised.

70% tax on income over 10 MILLION per year. More than reasonable.

Why not over 6M$?

DOES THIS BEAKER CUNT NOT KNOW WHAT FRANCE IS?

The other problem is that these things usually end up screwing over small businesses since almost all of them are sole proprietorships.

They are (partly) protesting in favor of these kinds of polices as opposed to taxing the working class, which is what the gasoline tax was.

doubt.jpg

And when the upper class flees the country who do they think will get taxed for these "carbon emissions"?

Good fucking riddance.

The highest rate was even higher under Eisenhower. It was 91% in 1950, 1951, and 1954 - 1959. It was 92% in 1952 and 1953. It wasn’t until the Kennedy tax cut (which raised revenue but killed jobs and lowered wages) that the highest rate was 77%.

You believe the myth that rich people are the source of wealth? lol jews and porky are one and the same my dude, congratulations for defending what you hate most.

What do you mean? Displaced workers can innovate a new, better gas chamber (preferably one with steel, not wooden, doors), but outsourcing has coincided with higher unemployment numbers.

She's a phony.
Should have been 100 percent.
Whatta bitch.

its part of the american dream. americans know how fucking lop sided the system is and even the poorest american will refuse to fix it because they imagine themselves being in that position one day and want to benefit from it.

Even some progressives who agree with her are not fans of her seeming ignorance on key issues.

Politicians read off telepromptors. Their job is charisma, not knowledge.

What a Communist Retard…

What with all the socialist Zig Forums shitters in this thread? Let's get this straight, very high taxes on the super rich doesn't work. The UK tried it most of the last century, and all it did was make every pig run for tax havens.

Taxation is not like a list of people the government plans to rob, it's a policy that applies to everybody, even poor people, who will be potentially rich. Let's say a rich guy, decides he doesn't want to be taxed, leaves the country and sells his business to his workers for no gain; congratulations to those workers, they now have to bear the 70% tax.

Rich people don't make anyone poorer except from comparison, the problem here is that socialists in governments keep blowing the budget on retarded schemes, when they aren't joining forces with neocons waging proxy wars.

I thought most of the methods by which super rich people get paid weren't covered by income tax

She's Hispanic. Of course she doesn't know

I'm Irish you idiot.

If the (((Rich))) left America it would be great again
whats your fucking point capkike

Yes, they will just take buildings with them and leave. Land too. Every piece of machinery in their handbags. Noone will find out those gold bars in their luggage. Cars can be fit in their pockets.

Wait, they're allowed to leave anyway?

✔️

You know your delusions are not real, you're not actually one of the rich, right?.

Who is "they", you dumb commie?

Oh and look at that, the 1950s were some of America's best years. NO capital left the country and there was a healthy middle class.

REALLY MAKES YA THINK

I want to remind you commies that back then Europe was mostly rubble and that left the US as the sole industrialized nation intact enough to be the sole supplier of infrastructure worldwide, which obviously made the US very rich. Also, almost every country taxed the top margin at above 70% so there wasn't any incentive switching domicile to a bombed out yurop or any other 3rd world shithole.

Which is entirely irrelevant when physical location of the rich doesn't matter. You can open a branch in some Tax haven and claim your local industry somehow owns this non existent office millions for licensing.

Zig Forums: We should hunt down the Jews wherever they escape to! …but leave the bourgeoisie alone or they'll run away!

Zig Forums: We should hunt down the bourgeoisie wherever they escape to! …but leave the Jews alone or they'll run away!

Nazbol gets mocked as a meme, but you faggots can't explain why your inconsistent bullshit is more logical. Jews are a problem and capitalists are a problem, and yet, even when you admit this, you chicken out with some weak excuse to let either one off the hook depending on whether you are far-right or far-left. Communism always failed because Jews claimed it. Communism existed before Marx - it was invented by the WHITE Frenchman Francois-Noel Babeuf - but the Jew Marx co-opted it so that it would only be a trick and instead of equality of white workers put Jews in power over all other peoples. Meanwhile, capitalism lets parasites take from work they played zero part in, and then conservacucks complain about welfare, even though capitalism impoverishes people enough to require it. In a true Nazbol state, welfare wouldn't be needed because all workers would make from what they produce without parasitism either above or below.

Capitalism is garbage, and Jews use it to get rich, and then co-opt the solution, tricking the world into being cucks for capitalism by turning communism into Jewish monarchies where a single Jew or good goyim rules with a Jewish backed cabinet called the politburo. All tricks, all the time, and you fall for them all the time. The biggest trick of all is thinking that we can't do something because otherwise our oppressors will just move about. Then what we do is hunt them down across the Earth and FUCKING KILL THEM.

You cowards afraid of World War 3 shame our race. You'd rather sell the white man out to the capitalists or the Jew. Tax havens aren't an excuse - you destroy them. Jew havens aren't an excuse - you destroy ISRAEL!

Not something that happens in the 50s though. The sophisticated tax evasion we have today is thanks to electronic money transfers, back then they would have to fly the crates of cash out of the country themselves.

Venezuela died because they relied too much on globalism and exporting their main resource of Oil

government relied on oil to fund their retarded socialist experiments, in free economy people will always create something else too, because not everybody works in the oil industry

She is the future and our survival

Can we all just ignore AOC now? The left wing is clearly trying to harness meme magic with her.

And the tax code as it exists helps create the typical selfish profile for billionaires so it's cyclic system propogating this wealth inequality. The federal government hamstrings themselves by not taxing the rich enough. They miss out on all the potential revenue that should be paying for infrastructure, public works and welfare programs to provide a stable platform for working class Americans to build and improve their lives. Instead, we rely on "trickle down" bullshit hoping that the wealthy will use their tax breaks for the public good which never happens. The wealthiest individuals invest only in furthering their self-enrichment and corporations take tax breaks and divide it among boardmembers or use it for massive stock buybacks to protect themselves from accountability from shareholders and employees. On top of that, there's still the pervasive issue of tax evasion. Despite having low tax rates, you still see the wealthy exploiting loopholes and tax havens to lie about their taxable income to pay even less. We can not afford to continue to expect the rich to make these long overdue investments domestically. Just let the federal government get those domestic investments directly by taxing the rich and budget appropriately for these programs we desperately need.

I know that you've probably never worked a day in your life, but I hope you enjoy finding out what 'crippling poverty' actually looks like on a national scale, retard. Enjoy your country being carved up by foreign governments and businesses. Enjoy being in an even worse state than most of Africa.

Socialism is MUCH further away from freedom than capitalism

I'm sorry is Zig Forums another Zig Forums or something because I can't believe the cuckery on this board?

It is a stupid argument that assumes that all bureaucracies will become corrupt and self-serving.

Additionally, capitalistic economies still have bureaucracies.

The illiterate calling the literate dumb. That's a good one.

Shut the fuck up kike

No one pays the highest rate. The only rate that matters is the minimum because it is the one you have to pay. Case and point, we collected roughly 35 billion in taxes in those years (roughly 300 counting for inflation) and roughly 1.15 trillion in 2008 when the top rate was 35%. We collected MORE taxes with a lower higher rate, and coincidentally had a shit economy when we did so.

Wanted to post the eEconomics vid about this but I can't find it, so here is the one on roads.

70% is she our of her fucking mind!?

As Owen Benjamin recently pointed out, lavishing Miss Cortez with publicity only – and there is mo such thing as bad publicity – makes her stronger and more popular, possibly creating her as s Democrat Donald Trump. Better to ignore her! That said, while her knowledge of economics, American government, and even reality may suck, there is nothing wrong with making a typically goofy, innocent dance video while in school, or at any other time in your life.
– Ghost Who Walks

Nope. This is what they actually believe.

As someone pointed out on another board: There are around 360,000,000 Americans today (and growing). Lets cap that as of now. $1,000 per month would total $360,000,000,000 (360 billion) per month. In one year - 12 months - this would cost $4,320,000,000,000 (4.32 Trillion) PER YEAR.

How is America going to pay for that.

Inb4 tax the billionaires! Any billionaire that would not flee the US would be a total fucking moron if there was a 70% against them. I know if I was rich, I'd say "see yah, commies, I'm retiring in Panama!"

you wouldn't give every child 1000 per month, so the number is much smaller. also, over 1trillion per year is spent on the military, outspending the next several nations combined. if you took a fraction of that every year you'd have enough to fully fund, (take your pick) free health care for everyone, free tuition, all infrastructure paid for, etc.

I never understood why people believe this. People somehow think that all our problems would be solved if we threw a (relatively) small amount of money at it. And then they demand that instead of putting our money into better places we should give more money to the idiots misspending the money. This is, of course, assuming that these people are genuine and not just using it as an excuse to gain power. Then it's obvious why they say this bullshit

Fact: If you taxed every rich person 100% you still can't pay off the yearly spending deficit. What has to be done is cut the massive 1 trillion yearly military budget down to size, end foreign aid of all kinds including to israel, and pare down the government's mostly useless agencies to something manageable.

Yep. And even if the rich were faced with a huge tax, they have enough money to flee the country and live elsewhere anyway… then the govt couldn't fund this BS.

Sorry, but you can't have an economy that taxes businesses that much. It would immediately bankrupt 99% of businesses. Which would KILL jobs like crazy. In one year you'd have the middle class rioting like they are in France, only with guns.

Accelerationism is the way to White's Freedom.

Accelerationism gets you a massive police state that cracks down on the people. As well as destabilizes society as a whole. Sure, it wakes more people up but the conditions and human misery come with it, and it fucking sucks for 99% of the population. You might as well support someone like Soros if you really want that because what you'll have is massive foreign invasions like Germany and Sweden, third world poverty everywhere, gun bans and shootouts, a record tally of suicides (typically those who can't stand living under communism), gulags, censorship enforced by gunpoint, hyperinflation (you won't be able to afford barely anything and have to ration everything you have), etc. In other words despotism and chaos and mass death.

Ask Venezuelans how they like accelerationism of communism. Better yet, visit Venezuela for a whole year and you might change your mind. Communism must be resisted not embraced.

Well, that is the idea.
To make people so uncomfortable as to fight back with lethal force.
Any other idea about how to gain freedom?
Because the time for the (((democracy))) game is exhausted and the demography change have put Whites against the wall. It is to fight or surrender.

*tax on people with ten yachts because they don't need an eleventh yacht*

Oh nice

*So that money can be given to the ultra rich who tell the politicians exactly what this bill will say*

The environment is important. Climate change is a faggot scam for funding like the drug war and every terror attack the government plans then stops..

Income inequality is real. Most humans are slaves. Government should heavily favor the working class.

All these fucking retarded faggots do is make the problems they supposedly want to stop worse. "Huh huh yeah the libtards " dude you believe that a comic book says you are god you arent any better. Holy fucking shit great choices here

The government and the elite DO NOT FUCKING CARE about the health of humans . They want people dead. They are not even of this world either and don't care about the future of Earth. They are literally just here to make sure humans dont advance. If the television is telling you something the opposite is true in 100% of cases.

If somebody can't entertain both ideas ( taxes bad, but they could be good) (murder bad, but protection of family good) (crime bad, responsible drug use good) , then they are not a human being. A true human being would want to understand both sides so that they could concert people to their version of truth. A non human just wants to disrupt and cause chaos. Their entire life goal is this delusional self supremecy thing where they have a trillion Facebook followers who lick their feet, they don't care if they have aids as long as they get attention because all attention spent on useless causes leads to a faster extinction of the human race. Hate to break it to you dumb fsggots but that's about everyone in the world including your family and friends.

At the end of the day no matter what you do it probably wont make a real difference.
At least with accelerationism you can pretend like that was your plan all along.

The (((System))) cannot be saved, only demolished.
Trump was the last chance and he blew it.
