No one making less than $400,000 a year would see their taxes go up under the plan. Instead, Ms. Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. Congress has previously rejected many of these tax ideas, even when Democrats controlled both chambers.

    Do you not agree your taxes this last year were too high? Is that the level you want them frozen at?

      Dude they’re going to put me in prison for being a Democrat and shut down the elections in the future, they’re trying to deport all the Mexicans, everyone is fine with all of Palestine being exterminated (or close enough to “fine” not to stop it). The planet is dying, the oceans are boiling. A lot of places people used to live are literally killing the inhabitants now. All of Florida is so dangerous to housing that it’s functionally uninsurable.

      So no, I don’t give a shit about my taxes, or yours. It’s also relevant that Biden / Harris have been making some attempt at income equality so that the rich will pay more than 0% tax and people will start to make more than 8 bucks an hour and rent will be less than half my income. But honestly, even those are sort of second tier concerns. As far as things I put genuine worry into, taxes don’t even come on the fucking radar, and if they do yours, I want your life.

        The only thing they’re attempting is to stay in power. They don’t give a flying fuck about immigrants, Palestine, the planet, the oceans, Their primary concern is staying in power and it doesn’t matter if it’s the red fascist or the blue fascists. The outcome is the same. They all take money from the same corporations, from the same bankers, from the same lobbyists. for the same outcome.

          Ah haaaaaa

          All of a sudden your totally bizarre take on what is important makes sense

          Carry on

          For future reference, I think the “lowering taxes is a SUPER important goal” stuff should be separated from the “I am SO far left that I can’t tell the difference between literal Nazis and insufficiently progressive centrists” stuff. It’s incongruous in a very weird way, and taxes are just not an issue that will get a lot of traction on Lemmy. Focus on Gaza instead.

            And to answer your other 2 points, there are no immigrants/illegals on stolen land. and there should be no corporations so regulation wouldnt be needed.

              Dude you can’t walk it back from “I make $400k a year, taxes are my chief concern” to abolishing corporations and saying you’re a communist now

              I can send you my cash app if you want to do some “from each according to his ability” tho

                I never said they were my chief concern. I said everyone’s taxes should be lower, and that would include yours if you pay taxes.

                from each according to his ability

                Pertains to a society as a whole, not someone that just wants to take from the system. by offering your cash app you are just wanting to take.

                  Not true. I already gave you some valuable feedback on your hustle. I can’t promise that you’ll make any more money if you implement my recommendations, but it will improve your job performance, if you take it on.

                  It’s okay though. I am happy to provide it for free.
