In the 1960s when the top marginal rate was > 70%, the top 1% accounted for 16% of total income tax receipts. Today the top marginal rate is 37% and the top 1% accounts for 40% of total income tax receipts.
Apparently it hurts their feelings.The dancing banana always triggers Deplorables nicely.
You'll notice that the MAGAts never respond to this fact.
MAGAts are sooooooo dumb (and gullible).
We. Told. Them. So.
Fox has a lousy track record when it comes to factual accuracy (and that is putting it very mildly), and no one is saying illegal border crossings didn't happen on Biden's watch. None of what you say here supports your claims about an "open border policy" in any way.
Irrelevant, and also not at all surprising. Right wingers love their propaganda.
For once, you're absolutely right. I'm 99% sure you didn't quite mean to say what you actually said here, but you're right in any event.
If the number is unknown, how do you know it's "into the millions"? And even if we did know the number, that still wouldn't mean in any way that what they were doing had been legalized.
And yet in all the years you've been bleating about "open borders", you've never put up a shred of legitimate evidence to that end. And yet you and you alone know the truth. Right.
The only source I could find for any of this was that paragon of honesty, Lindsey Graham. If he told me the sun was shining, I'd look for my umbrella.
They want to prevent millions of Americans (not undocumented immigrants, Icanthelpit, Americans) from losing their health insurance. That, of course, is a bridge too far for the Republicans, who would just as soon no one but the rich had affordable health care.
Letting the Trump tax cuts expire would take care of that.
Yes, we know what keeps you up at night.
You spent how many paragraphs whining about undocumented immigrants, and it's the Democrats who "need to stop playing on people's emotions"? As for budgets that exceed revenues, your side lost any and all credibility on that one a very long time ago.
Or simply stop shoveling ever more money to the already rich and swearing up and down Lucy won't pull the football away this time...
Those statements require documentation. In the 1960's there were not enough income tax loop holes to allow the ich to avoid paying high income taxes. A high top tax rate gives the government considerable control over the economic behavior of the rich.
Math isn’t your strong suit.
Fair enough. The source is the Tax Foundation. Here are the articles for citation.

You can gaslight anyway you want, all you want. Schumer is responsible for shutting down the government and Schumer alone owns it. Fox isn’t responsible for Democrat failures, democrats are. When brainwashed people like you worship your talking heads, believe that Trump has zero accomplishments it really proves you’re separated from reality, from the facts and from the truth. You suffer from TDS.
Republicans control all 3 branches of government, but somehow Schumer is so powerful he can single handedly outmaneuver Trump?????
Republicans = 53
The Senate has a procedural provision called a filibuster. Google it
And how does that stop Trump, whose self claim to fame is that he is excellent at making deals, make a deal that would only need to sway 7 Democrats?
An entire paragraph of nothing but venom, and we're the ones who are "separated from reality"? It is ever so easy to believe your own propaganda, isn't it?
Who are you to say what should or shouldn't be included? No one elected you to anything.
If it's going to affect people's coverage when the government shuts down - and it is - then it's relevant.
I'm...sure that made perfect sense when Newsmax explained it. But the truth is, the Republicans hate it not because it's a failed program, but because it isn't.
That is a remarkably eloquent description of Republican economic policy ever since Reagan, that is. Congratulations.
The trope you're angling at here would be a lot more convincing if Trump had ever once done anything that would benefit anyone but bigots and billionaires. But he hasn't. (Note I say "done anything", not "said he would do anything", which he has done any number of times but has never delivered on any of them.)
I’m sure if you think about it you’ll figure it out.
Why don’t you explain where Biden’s green new deal money went. He lined the pockets of his rich cronies.
Lol. History will not be kind to you stupid fucking MAGAtards.
Yeah, how dare we call the folks behind January 6 extremists or threats to democracy? Come on, Icanthelpit, even for you...
The people you're referring to are mostly pretty well educated. They know what's what and who's really at fault.
You’re too funny. Either that or you’re truly intellectually disfunctional. The WH did their job. The house republicans did their job and the Senate republicans minus 1 did their job. 7 Dems were needed to pass the CR. The majority of Dems voted against the CR. That’s on the democrats for not furnishing enough votes to reach 60. That’s not incompetence, that Schumer sabotaging a republican initiative, like he always does.
Have you seen Portland lately. Leftist LOONYTOONS shooting at ICE and killing people. Yah you nutwigs are control. ROTFLMFAO
