The richest 1% in the Netherlands pay relatively less tax than everyone else and their incomes have risen more sharply, according to new calculations by the government’s macro-economic forecasting agency CPB. Earlier research, based on figures from 2016, showed that people on the highest incomes pay less tax and the new figures, based on the period 2011 to 2019, paint a similar picture.

Nah, it’s over. When backed into a corner, FlyingSquid always seems to just latch onto some point, regardless of how tangential it is to actual point, because they think it is a “winning” point, and then won’t let go. I wanted to see what would happen if I relented on that distraction and just admitted to their implication, so we could go back to the main point. Apparently it means they run from the debate.
Although, in retrospect, I wish I hadn’t agreed to their accusation of lying, and instead claimed it was just a rhetorical statement, which is more accurate, and that I (obviously) couldn’t prove it. That probably would have been a better test. Agreeing to their accusation of lying just gave them an easy out.
To be honest, I have no idea what that image means.
Lemme go grab popcorn.

Oh it’s a cutout from a screenshot that shows the lines that trace comment depth. It implies there’s a huge argument going on.
Gotcha, thanks. Lol
Yeah I’m not sure why they bothered arguing with either an obvious troll or an idiot.
