And if not Trump, he's the kind of republican that Respectable People who may stay home and not vote for trump will vote for, so may be helpful to down-ticket GOP candidates, which is an even bigger issue in a lot of ways. The dems need an energized base and the non-chud republicans to stay home, because there's no swaying Trump's death cultists, who are going to come out and vote for him no matter what.

I'm originally from this general community and my dad still lives down there, so I'm well aware of how much of a dickhead DeGroot is. Overall this failing shouldn't have much impact on the state, if at all but the local community down there could be fairly devastated based on the debt they've taken on for this. The scale is immense and the amount of work done so far in terms of land acquisition and prep is pretty significant.

e: haha, my dad is recorded as one of the local residents speaking to the board. Wow, small world.

He will run even though he won't win, simply to ruin the chances of an actual progressive candidate to win vs trump.

He heard 70% tax on billionaires and he was like "no, gently caress poors, they should be grateful, and grovel at my feet that I give a minuscule amount of my earnings to charity"

Tbh, as an average American voter, I’m disturbed by what I’ve been told are AOC’s plans to raise taxes by 70% on everyone. I certainly can’t afford a tax hike like that; personally, I’d trust someone who spent their career making money than a first-term congressperson who just wants to spend it!

It's not a 70% hike on everyone JFC.

People don't understand how taxes work.

The more you make, the more percentage of your income (in each tax bracket) you pay.

You are taxed basically nothing on the first <12k you earn, then some more on money you earn in the next bracket, and the percentage is higher for income in the next bracket up, etc until you hit the number that is your taxable income. The percentage of your income that this is equal to is known as your marginal tax.

You are not taxed at 70% on every dollar you earn, you would be taxed at 70% on every dollar over a certain (really loving high) amount.

For example, these were the numbers for 2018

10%


$0-$9,525


10% of your taxable income

12%


$9,525-$38,700


$952.50 + 12% of the amount over $9,525

22%


$38,700-$82,500


$4,453.50 + 22% of the amount over $38,700

24%


$82,500-$157,500


$14,089.50 + 24% of the amount over $82,500

32%


$157,500-$200,000


$32,089.50 + 32% of the amount over $157,500

35%


$200,000-$500,000


$45,689.50 + 35% of the amount over $200,000

37%
Over $500,000

$150,689.50 + 37% of the amount over $500,000
