Cory Booker On Dems’ 2020 Victory – Americans WANT To Pay More Taxes Because They’re ‘Patriotic’

I know China tariffs are derailing the thread but you do know that America is holding the tariff playing cards. The maths is very simple. China buys a great deal less from America than you guys buy off China. So China can only raise tariffs for so long until it runs out bullets. Then America just continues applying more tariffs to more products. China will be forced to deal. If they don't, they lose out big style.

 

Yah you called that socialism a decade ago. Yet when trump wants to make my guacamole cost more, you’re silent.

 

Only if those tariffs actually stop us from buying those goods, or make us buy less. Otherwise we just pay more and life goes on.

 

The United States is the #3 producer of avocados.

 

Is this how you troll a thread?

 

What Booker means is that most white people are patriotic so they should pay more taxes. Most blacks (like him) are not patriotic so they shouldn't have to pay anything.

 

Not enough to meet the avocado toast demand of millennials

 

I can’t find that part of his proposal

 

aren't you willing to pay a little more and buy American avocados help American farm works make a living wage?

 

Nobody’s forcing you to but guacamole.
That’s the difference

 

You mean buyers can decide and not the govt?? That seems crazy!

 

like Obama care? opps never mind

 

So are you one of Cory's fans clambering to pay more tax to the government?

 

No. But people who have lots of money and think the govt should have more money have one obvious option that they never take advantage of.

 

Precisely. Is that what you wanted with trump? More Obamacare like policies?

 

One man pissing on a forest fire

 

Yes!

 

He is right, Trump fans love their country so much, they don't even want to sacrifice 10% in income tax to support their fellow countrymen, who they call moochers and takers.

Instead, it is me, me, me, free money now trough tax deferments, screw the future generations. That's how much patriotic Trump fans are, they just want to wave the flag, but they won't sacrifice.

 

So patriotism means sacrificing part of your hard earned income to those who don't work, who won't get off their asses, can have free food and housing, medical, schools, transportation, free cell phones, discounted or free utilities, etc. Ok, so the ones who don't sacrifice part of their income, the beneficiaries of patriots patriotism, those who have never given back must be unpatriotic.
The real me, me, me people are the ones who do nothing but take, take, take and never give back.
States that voted Republican in the last presidential race are far more likely to be generous to charities than those voting Democratic, a report by the Chronicle of Philanthropy suggests. Eight of the top 10 more charitable states voted Republican in 2008.

Read it and weep.

 

Weird . . . the political left frequently accuses any Right of Center patriot of either being a hate filled White nationalist or being in support of hate filled White nationalists, and now here is one of the worst of the leftist offenders in that regard actually having the unmitigated hypocrisy-infused audacity to issue an appeal to patriotism for the purpose of taxing citizens into an early grave? Sweet!

 

Americans are willing to pay more taxes if the increased revenue goes for improvements in infrastructure. https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/new...more-fees-taxes-to-relieve-congestion/539836/

 

It just shows how out-of-touch-with-reality the Democrats are.....we WANT to pay more taxes so THEY can be in charge of wasting the money?? LOL

 

You mean to help American instead of paying for unicorn farts?

 

Spartacus is my hero. He's the most flimsy of democrats. I can't wait for him to get into the debates. I have stocked up on the popcorn.

 

Whether or not Trump's tariffs on China, etc kicked in is not the issue. Bloggers on this site have said, on many occasions, that they wouldn't mind paying more. Tariffs are taxes on the American people, same as any tax. You fellas understand this, yes? And tariffs have kicked in.
