🎓 Dr. Freemo 🇳🇱 @freemo@social.cleverlibre.org

@MikeBon except i didnt argue otherwise. I asked you to give an explicit example of a loophole and how it favors the rich. The fact your throwing a tantrum cause someone responded and was willing to explore your assertion says a lot about you though.

@Pat it has nothing to do as a fillibuster... even if you coukd eliminate the fillibuster how do you intend to change things? Youd have to create a constitutional amendment if you want to grant abortion as a right. A law, as as i can tell, wouldnt be able to grant a right.

@MikeBon No i am actively trying to engage and understand your views and discuss them.. you were doing fine but as of the last few messages seem to be quickly progressing towards a tantrum.

@MikeBon haha ok waste everyones time then adding no value and blowing hot air if thats what you want. Lol

@Pat right and they cant. A simple majority is not enough to address roe v wade

@MikeBon then move along. Do us both a favor if you feel that way. No need to announce it.

@MikeBon No one is fooling anyone, we are trying to have a discussion. Either engage in that if you wish or feel free to move along.

@Pat How ya figure a simple majority would not be enough.

@MikeBon you can file as self employed even if you dont have a business in the typical sense. In fact every person who is washing windows, doing odd jobs, etc are all under business taxes, and these are the kinds of jobs we expect the homeless to do.

The idea that 1099 basdd worked isnt an option for the poorer end of the spectrum is nonsense. In fact quite the opposite, most rich people, even if they own the company, are working for tbeir own company as a w2. There are quite a few barriers that specifically prevent the rich from getting tax breaks forcing thrn onto a w2 for their own business.

@MikeBon i specifically didnt use the word exclusively.. give an example of a tax cut that benefits the rich and hownit would need to be changed to benefit everyone. Then we can discuss it.

@MikeBon

I can think of a ton of cuts and benefits you get on taxes for the poor.. still waiting to hear you mention one and how you think it favors the rich. I suspect they exist i just cant think of one off hand.

@pmonks

@pmonks @MikeBon

Simply stating it is so (again) doesnt get us anywhere. Which specific tax loophole do you think is exclusively availible to the rich, happy to discuss

@pmonks

No one has presented an example where thry are exclusively or favorable towards the super rich. Everyone has access to them.. if you think there is one only the rich can use im still waiting to hear what one you mean

@MikeBon

@pmonks @MikeBon

We are talking the super rich here, so you are by definition excluding people hovering tax brackets

@pmonks @MikeBon

How isnpaying 100k in donations to save 20k in taxes a loophole or even an exploit?

@pmonks @MikeBon

Do you have a specific example. I mean im not argui g the tax shstem is perfect so if you want to abolish a specofic writeoff be specific

@pmonks @MikeBon

That is a bit irrelevant since they are spending far more on charities then they save on a deduction.

@MikeBon @pmonks @QasimRashid

Yes they legally use the writeoffs and other benefits availible to everyone. If there is a specific writeoff you feel is unjust or only applies to the wealthh im open to discuss

@rabbitear not too hard, start by getti g everyone yubikeys and setting them up with pgp keys
