No one making less than $400,000 a year would see their taxes go up under the plan. Instead, Ms. Harris is seeking to significantly raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans and large corporations. Congress has previously rejected many of these tax ideas, even when Democrats controlled both chambers.

      Fucking lol, yeah right homie, I’m unconvinced and all my comrades will be similarly.

      I’m an actual anarcho-communist, and nothing you’ve said makes me think you have even the slightest idea what communism even is.

          I’m gunna wager you’re a lying sack of shit and aren’t a communist at all. See, only one of us can be right, and it isn’t you :)

          If you are a commie, prove it. Nothing you’ve said so far (and I’m not going to dig through your post history; I have standards.) leads a person to believe you… so make me believe you.

            I’m not communist because I said taxes need to go down? No one that has any form of communist in their name would be advocating for taxes of any sort. Or does it bother you more that a communist actually makes a decent living? Or that my business is setup as a coopt where everyone makes an equal portion, has equal equity, and equal input in the direction of the company? A business where everyone owns what they produce?

              Everyone in your business makes $400k per year?

              How many employees do you have?

                  What in your mind is a normal salary in an American business? Out of businesses in America, how typical do you imagine one would be that pays every single employee $400k per year? You seem to think these things you are claiming are pretty plausible, so I imagine you picture it as being pretty typical (or at least not comically outlandish), yes? Or no?

                    My situation is not normal, but I was able to find a market with no/little competition by creating a foothold before anyone else did, and make a good living with it. I also remember what it was like to struggle with money and am aware of the struggles others are facing right now.

              Yeah I just bet someone whining about not getting enough of a tax break runs a co-op.

              Bullshit. Go home. You aren’t fooling anyone.
