The ‘17 $2T tax cut gave $.83 of every $ to the very richest corporations & individuals. The tax rate has been the primary weapon of oligarchy in creating a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% over the last 40 years. Do not let them get away with not discussing taxes.

#WealthTax of 2% on $50M+ and an extra 1% on $1B+ would put a lot of “How are we going to pay for it?” questions to bed.

So does MMT. You had a podcast about this with Stephanie Kelton, remember? If the general public isn't inundated and educated with MMT and fiat currency, we'll never have the ammo to defeat the deficit myth. Please help!!

Imagine taking the time to make the world a better place instead of always complaining and worrying about whether or not someone is paying their "fair share" of taxes to a corrupt government.

Not taxing (taking) is not the same as giving. Would rather look at the shell game the politicians and oligarchs play leveraging (skimming) our taxes for their gain.

"Discussing"?? PAYing!!! How much IS too much??!! How long IS too long? How rich is too rich? Corporations shouldn't be rich, people should be rich. Corporations aren't alive, people are. Corporation's merely business, people much more! Are you not sickened by their GREED??!!

And done so by Republicans using reconciliation which Mitch just said today wasn't cool now to do with the stimulus. Bipartisan fetishism and "pragmatism" can punch sand. People are stealing formula to feed their babies.

@FactSparrow Did the 2017 tax cut give 83 cents of every dollar to the top 1% richest Americans?

It's okay, they're going to get away with it.

A tax cut isn't 'giving' people money. It's simply not taking as much money from people. Dimwit.
