ironic considering AOC majored in economics
Cool story... however you aren’t AOC. Quit being a sheep and research the numbers your self. Read about O’Malley’s millionaire tax as a starting point. As taxes go up, the money LEAVES.

but i thought this was a muh free market. if people leave someone will just take their muh place right?
yes and that's why i want to force them to bring the money back into the country and tax the fuck out of them. they don't get to hold the rest of the country and world hostage just becuase they're greedy oligarch slimeballs. but i'm glad to see you agree that a small portion of the world's population owns all the wealth. the laws in the US are clearly written for the elites. if we tried to evade taxes because we thought they were "too high" we'd be thrown into prison already. enough with the two tier system this country has.
they do it because they are megalomaniacs and sociopaths who want to horde as much wealth as possible. not because they are taxed too much. that's just the excuse they use. the effective tax rate for fortune 500 companies before trump took office was something like 13%.... companies like Verizon haven't paid taxes in over a decade.
it's the same with why jobs get shipped overseas. it's not as much about taxes as it is about paying workers nothing, giving them no benefits, no child labor laws, ect.
70% tax on income over 10 million is just a start. and it's popular.
As taxes go up, the money LEAVES.
So: what is the Federalist’s approach to the massive problems that we have re: decaying urban infrastructure; theft of public water supplies by Nestle and others; poisoning of the water table thru chemical leaks, illegal dumping, oil spills, fracking, etc; the lack of a secure and unified power grid, transportation; voter suppression; our senselessly fragmented and inequitable electoral “system”; toxic energy sources and production; police murders of citizens in the streets; prioritization of wealthy citizens above the rest of the population; the weaponization of press freedom, et cetera?
The US also needs to reduce the # of laws.
They are selectively enforced, which makes for selective persecution.
FVCK THAT.
So much of the destruction of the US comes from within.[/B]
e.g. the US military can destroy land & water with impunity -
This is exactly the sort of thing deep state and big corporate tag team us all on.a munitions plant miles upstream from here routinely exceeds the limits of toxins & cancer causing chemicals they allow to outflow into the Holston River here. pipes plant-wide have been in use since the late 40s, many of them. they are coated internally with these chemicals, but it would be cost-prohibitive for BAE (plant operator) to shut down & replace them all. every heavy rain is followed by their "water treatment" plant being overwhelmed. thousands of people downstream get their drinking water from the river & downstream lakes, as well as watering livestock, thus potentially contaminating our food supply. they have been THREATENED with fines, but i doubt any have been paid.
Art, we are talking military explosives, not bullets. C-4 for the Marines, and another that they melt down into SHAPE charges, plus the explosive that they fill in around the plutonium core of nuclear weapons so it compresses the core from all directions upon detonation. hell, if it was Winchester making hunting ammunition we would not be discussing it. at least, I wouldn't be...
