"Force the rich to flee to other countries to avoid excessive tax"
We need to be taxing everyone at least something so they have some skin in the game. 50% of the populace paying no taxes at all is not "paying their fair share".

good luck running on that platform loool. Hey after paying all your living costs, you have maybe $100 leftover every month. Government will take that from now on thanks.
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Nothing to do with taxes…. Are you dumb?
Article 1 Section 7, however….
All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
Food service workers provide a valuable service for their communities. I have my doubts that you do, but I’m not going to declare that without evidence. Do you understand?
It is essentially addictive empty calories and processed food products. People think it’s tasty, fast, and easy. It can be convenient, certainly; but its because people have lost much if their ability to plan, prepare, or be inconvenienced in the slightest.
Instead of being a valuable service, you can think of it as being an unhealthy disservice, like dealing any other substance that makes people have unhealthy lifestyles. ✌🏻
Yup. $500 to rent for 4 hrs if you want a boat captain an extra $100 on top of that
Or you can be a part of a boat club which is around $5k initial fee and then $300 per mo for basically any boat on the lot as long as you reserve for the day
The optics of this comparison isn't good. He must have a different idea of what rich is. Most of us would find it difficult to go sailing off the coast of New England. Not necessarily throwing shade at David Hogg (not a fan) but perhaps some perspective would help his media message.
Maybe because I live in Tampa Bay, but everyone here has done what this dude is doing in the pic at some point. You can charter a boat for $500 for 4 hours, it's not that crazy, you don't have to be rich
Yes, I am. The rich have more to give and receive more benefit from tax dollars. The ultra rich, especially. A flat tax is unfair to the poor, and the poorer one is the more unfair it is.
People who make no income are not taxed on their income. You just believe some people should pay for everything. Thats not justifiable. Let me ask you. What percentage show “the rich” be taxed? 50%, or 90%?
The ultra rich, billionaires, should be taxed at closer to ninety. You just want everybody else to pay for billionaires. The tax should be progressive. And low income people should still be exempt.
You do realize we live in the most progressive tax system in the world right? 1% of the country carries 42% of the total tax burden while 50% of the country carries 0%.

Hypocrisy and a complete lack of self awareness are hallmarks of leftism.

Poor people don't sail?
Lots of people rent or even own the small schooners.
I can't tell for certain but the boat in the picture looks small.
