The Vermont Senator, one of America’s highest-profile Jewish lawmakers, said the Israeli leader was head of an ‘extremist and racist government’ and that the US campus protests against the Gaza war are ‘not antisemitic’
Elon Musk earns about $1.5 billion dollars/year with an estimated net worth of about $150 billion.
False. Elon does not earn $1.5 billion a year. That is not his income. His net worth has nothing to do with his income.
Musk should be taxed at 90% like we did for top earners during the biggest economic expansion in our nation’s history.
That is also false. Income was taxed at 90%, not wealth. We have never taxed wealth because it is unconstitutional. Also, the tax code was very different back then, and only 1 person ever paid that level of tax. People had many more deductions than they do now.
And that wasn’t my point; you’re trying to change the argument because you know you’re wrong.
No, I am right, as you demonstrated here that you don’t know the difference between income, wealth, and even how taxes have worked historically.
I would love for you to point out where I said I wouldn’t be willing to pay more in taxes. This accusation is a confession, it seems.
How much more do you think your tax bracket should pay to keep the current rates for all the other brackets?
I’m done pretending you’re a serious person arguing seriously.
Anyone can say “nuh-uh.”
I also never said wealth was taxed. I said his income should be taxed (in response to your question).
You’re misrepresenting my argument at every step like you always do. Your sealion question at the end is irrelevant; you have no idea how much I earn, and I’m not here to impress Internet strangers like you seem to be. Bet you’re real close to that billion though if you keep grinding!
Bet it burns you up that you can’t ban me from here.
I also never said wealth was taxed. I said his income should be taxed (in response to your question).
then why did you bring up Elon’s wealth?
You’re misrepresenting my argument at every step like you always do.
Then, be more clear. Don’t blame me because you can’t articulate your thoughts well. You are talking about wealth but claim you are not talking about wealth. Elon does not earn $1.5 billion per year. That is factually inaccurate.
Your sealion question at the end is irrelevant; you have no idea how much I earn, and I’m not here to impress Internet strangers like you seem to be.
You said you would pay more but when asked, it’s now sealioning? Never asked how much you earned. I asked how much more your bracket should pay since you said you would pay more.
Bet you’re real close to that billion though if you keep grinding!
Not even close and not even a goal of mine.
Bet it burns you up that you can’t ban me from here.
It’s so weird you try to turn everything personal instead of having a discussion. Instead of trying to talk about me, why not engage in the discussion?
And I’ll add back in the context that you’re desperate to jettison.
Let’s look at a situation that resembles the real world:
Elon Musk earns about $1.5 billion dollars/year with an estimated net worth of about $150 billion.
The median American income is about $70k/year with an estimated net worth of $193k
Musk should be taxed at 90% like we did for top earners during the biggest economic expansion in our nation’s history.
