Oh, so all of a sudden Hugo from New Jersey’s not good enough to get a red underline?

“stop taxing” doesn’t mean stop taxing

calling a lie a lie is ad hominem

Fuck all the way off, pathetic liar.

Fuck off, liar. This is what I identified as a straw man:

it’s such a serious threat to the country’s financial stability that we should chicken out and stop taxing the rich.

Now quote me “spew[ing] exactly that talking point” that we should stop taxing the rich. You won’t, because you can’t, because I didn’t.

Shameless, pathetic liar.

it’s such a serious threat to the country’s financial stability that we should chicken out and stop taxing the rich.

No one’s saying this, this is a straw man.

It’s just a simple fact that there is a ‘sweet spot’ when it comes to maximizing tax revenue. It’s the same as if you’re selling a product for $10, then 100 people buy it, and you assume that you’ll double your $1000 profit if you sell it for $20 instead, but then the number of buyers went down to 10, and now your bottom line is $800 less, instead.

“Just tax them more” is not the simple/obvious solution it appears to be on the surface. Also, people don’t just not react when stuff like this changes, to protect themselves; just compare tax revenue presently to what it was when it capped out at (iirc) 91%.

And even IF ‘turning that dial’ simply increased tax revenue, it needs to be combined with that revenue being spent productively, for it to make any difference at all. Hell, I think the US already brings in more than enough tax revenue to do everything we want it to do, if it was doing it as efficiently as it could be.

Someone needs to read up on “capital flight”, this is a known phenomenon we’re talking about, not speculation.

Well, the purchase is probably already made by the time this is seen, and for those who see it, they probably just ignore it similarly to EULA popups when installing programs.

When the fuck did Asmongold become the largest POLITICAL streamer?

He didn’t, not even close—the OP just made that up to augment the ragebait level of their post, lol.

and then goes on to say “why would you add people to your country that don’t speak the language” in English and not the native tongue of the tribe that the land was stolen from

The irony of this is that people who are hardline isolationist/against immigration use that having happened as fuel for their argument, because ‘look what happened to the Native Americans when Europeans were able to immigrate en masse’, and they argue that that’s what’ll happen to them if they allow immigration now.

Yeah, the voice someone’s born with is definitely what should be focused on, when it comes to criticism.

I have watch history turned off anyway so I wonder how it’s deciding that I should watch these clips.

This is why, lol. Since his videos are generally popular on YouTube, if you have no watch history for your recommendations to be based on, it’s just always going to feed you whatever’s popular, which will include his stuff.

You’re doing it to yourself, in other words. I actually have watched a couple videos of his in the past, and yet, because it’s rare, I never see his videos being recommended to me. Hell, in my experience, stuff recommended to me is rarely similar to things I’ve seen more than a month or so ago.

If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.

I mean, I really don’t want to bike in the rain, but that’s no big deal for someone in a car, lol.

The fact that even with the fees charged to the restaurant and to the customer, the majority of these apps still aren’t even profitable, lol.

Yes. Those people consider things like this part of the “cost of living”, not the luxury that it is.

On average, people have more of an issue overspending than they do underearning. That’s why even among people making six figures, 1 in 4 of them live “paycheck to paycheck”, which people assume to mean ‘barely make enough to make ends meet’, but what more commonly means ‘deliberately chooses not to save/spends every dollar earned’.

Okay, now it’s $74. Now what?

This seems reasonable, honestly.

He’s not the president.

Doesn’t make sense to compare a rate of an outcome (without even knowing how often that outcome was sought) with an individual attempt whose outcome is not even known yet.

When Mangione IS actually given the death penalty, this ‘argument’ will actually amount to something. Dumb until then.
