Post-midterm compromises

both of us were joking. . . but what % are most of those 47% paying? not a lot

 

How does SS count? Because on the front end it is basically a pay role tax, and on the back end an entitlement.

SS was so popular because it took from the poor and gave to the middle class.

 

SS takes from everyone

 

Lower income generally start working younger paying into SS sooner and die younger than higher income people so not drawing as long

 

SS is taking from the poor and giving to the rich

 

I meant to say raise the tax rate on the top 2% and business, so that may clarify it.

 

Institute a surtax, I'm thinking 50% again, on all bank accounts over $2 million and raise SS for everyone in the 98%. Jail everyone that offshores their money, and send in the Navy SeALs, Army Green Berets, and Marine Recon units to storm every foreign bank and seize the money to bring it back. Park a couple of Ohio Class subs within launch range of the countries whose banks we are raiding. Ask the leaders of said countries if they want to play for blood. If they answer in the affirmative, tell 'em we' re their huckleberry.

 

What is the top two percent? 250,000 and above for a house hold?

 

If it fits.
