While this girl is dumb, so is Niel.

Niel's argument that if the 1% paid 100% of their income as taxes, they alone could only sustain medicare for 3 years.

Which means if they paid 33% of their income in taxes, they alone could sustain medicare for 1 year.

Which is what we call taxes

The point is they do that already, and pay for tons of other poo poo besides medicare. And as Neil was trying to drive home if you crank someone's taxes up to an even more ridiculous number they aren't going to stay here. It's funny she threw out the word socialism but only when the discussion hit 100%. As if taking 90% of someone's wealth to redistribute is cool. Her family is poor so of course she was raised that those rich jerks are what's wrong with the world.

lol @ everyone who thinks a 90% marginal rate is on total income, not on each dollar past a certain lucrative number like 5 million

going from 50 million dollars pre-tax a year to 9 million dollars post-tax a year instead of ~30 million is like going from 30 hot people scrambling over each other to suck your dick to only 9 of them boo loving hoo guess it's time to leave all your friends and home and business and go live in some tax haven

you don't pay 90 percent on everything. you pay 90 percent on everything over a certain (very high) threshold. economic growth for the middle class was strongest when taxes were near 90 percent on the highest bracket :)

Cavuto's vocal fry is from multiple sclerosis so at least he has an excuse, unlike dumb millennial women that think it makes them sound cool.

Yeah, but the ancient Greek man knew it was acceptable to be intimate with her under almost any circumstances. You know, sacking a city, disguised as a ram, random encounter while bathing in a stream, pretty much anything really.

all of these constitute a transaction in the traditional sense: gate open = transaction; pet ram = transaction; stream moves = transaction (you bathe strange man = transaction)

I should also note that if you're advertising your city as being "low taxes" rather than anything else it means you're indirectly admiting that your city is a shithole and the only reason companies would want to be here is taxes rather than because it has a good labour pool or good connections or even good living conditions for people.

Lol if you think that anyone was paying a 90% tax, even a marginal rate. There were poo poo loads of deductions and loopholes, the top 20% were paying like 30%. Tax reform in the 80s closed the loopholes and dropped the rate.
