Yeah, yeah, Orange Man bad. Got it.

Now let's discuss the subject.

This is the woman who says she wants what she calls "Democratic Socialism" like they have in Sweden.

In Sweden the average taxpayer can pay 50%, I think. Pretty sure I heard that somewhere. Anyway it's a lot for the average wage earner.

And she can't pay what it already is in America. So what's she going to do if she gets her wish. Yeah I know she's only talking about the top 1% of earners getting tax hikes. I imagine they believed that in Sweden too.

In any case I imagine there would be tax breaks for those like herself in Progtopia. So she'd be doing all right. But what about the people stuck where she was before she joined the political elite?

And isn't it what they call hypocritical asking others to pay more when she's not even paying what it already is?

We're also a Social Democracy.

But even if you could explain all that here's the real point. Trump isn't pushing for others to pay higher taxes while he's not paying his.

AOC is doing that.

Hell no, he's celebrating cutting his own and everyone like him's taxes. At the expense of regular people including those fucking dumb enough to think the rich should pay less taxes than they do!

Wow lets see I got my Taxes cut, how do I know because I was taking home more of my pay after taxes than I was the year before, and I am very far from being rich. My tax return would have been smaller but for my driving for uber again and OH wow I operated at a loss and got even more money back. As for ppl bitching about not getting as much back as last year on their tax return there is a very good reason. That extra money they got on their pay checks was what USED to go into your taxes and you had to wait all year to get it back.
