Typical republican response: all doom and gloom, no logic or rational thinking.

Guess you didn’t read the article or just can’t figure out how taking more money from people would reduce the amount of money they could spend which would cause the country to go into a recession.
It’s basic economics.

That’s just fearmongering man. The rich being slightly less rich is nowhere near the problem you may think.

If the government seizes less of nueromancer’s wages nuero is likely to either spend it, which stimulates the economy, or invest it which also stimulates the economy. As long as Neuro does not bury or hide it under a mattress the money will stimulate the economy as well or better than the government seizing and giving it to someone.

Greed is literally the desire to have more of something. Sometimes it’s money, sometimes it’s power, it can be other things too.
Your accusatory comments do nothing to further the conversation. You’re just mad at liberals because you’ve been told to be because they take things. This is part of what keeps us from uniting as a population to tackle issues that affect us all.

They don’t get the concept it’s not greedy to want to keep some of my own money for myself.
I’d take liberals more seriously if they’d be willing to increase their taxes but their solution is always taking someone else’s money
