Don’t ya love it when Republican fear mongers use the “he/she will be paying 95% in taxes” as if it’s 95% from the first dollar earned? It kills me that so many American dumb-dumbs don’t see this for the obviously dishonest tactic it is. They literally believe that if someone earns $5M they’ll pay $4.75M in taxes and only get to keep $1/4M for themselves. Even though they’ll probably never see those kind of earnings the unfairness of that is absurd, so they vote against their own interest. I’d say they deserve it, but…
Yeah that tweet would, by itself, put a fairly short term (like <10 year) expiration date on his career. I’m always shocked by the level of short term thinking going on at the top of our society.
It’s like they really truly can’t see that even the most successful capitalists (where supposedly short term thinking is great) are all long term thinkers.
We spent hundreds of years trying to drill long term thinking into our leaders as hard as possible, but since 1950 or so we just threw that out the window. I really wish I understood why.
The worst politician in American history blah blah blah. #4everHilldawg, owned this fool’s “soul” 187 times during the campaign, won the popular vote by 3 million even after the Comey letter and Russian meddling.
