@DaniDanis Then it should have been quite trivial for the meme to provide a source... funny that.

@DaniDanis Hahaha ... yea no.. the obligation to provide sources is on the person making the claim, otherwise you look manipulative and dishonest, particularly when those claims are hyperbolic as these appear to be at first glance.

@DaniDanis @elfunrokr

Google is not a source, the hits that google provides are not objective sources... this response is the same as "I heard people say it somewhere" which is the same as admiting this post has no credibility that the poster is aware of.

@deedeeque No one said anything to the contrary.. and no it isnt a complicated thing to understand (but discussing like a mature adult appears like it could be a problem for you).

As I said, the billionaire tax rate in america is higher than most of europe, even when you dont count the double taxation, which is relevant because usually the middle class use pass-through taxation schemes and dont experience the same double taxation.

"he" here is my step-dad. he is the one who knows Biden and Trump.. I only know them through him.

@GatekeepKen In the USa the billionaire tax rate is at about 30% (37% federal + 12% state give or take)... which is higher than most countries.

Also keep in mind most billionaires experience double taxation, the company itself is taxed, then the billionaire is taxed too.

@admitsWrongIfProven

He has been a family associate since before I was born.. My dad is conservative, my mom is liberal, I'm left of center, all of us think Biden is a slime ball who says whatever works in his interest regardless of his real feelings... So no I dont like him.

That said Biden can come across as charming, so I dont like him because I know better, not due to a gut reaction. Trump on the other hand (also an associate of the family) is disgusting and doesnt hide it, so not sure he is much worse, but he does "feel" worse sinc ehe just makes you feel sick when you hear him put down his wife (something his kids do too)

@TruthSandwich

@Gaythia Nice!

@TruthSandwich

As you point out... me, I'm nothing if not honest.

@TruthSandwich @ech

You are nothing if not consistently ignorant.

@TruthSandwich @ech

Thats a weird way to say you refuse to learn or ever question your beliefs.

@freepeoplesfreepress @mia

Lets apply this logic to all the things that kill people then... lets make sugar and carbs illegal, lets make cars that can gonpast 25 mph illegal, lets make bleach illegal too.

The idea of cutting access to tools to fix a problem cause by people is absurdity to me. Guns save lives, thry dont just take them. If it werent for access to hand guns that can shoot rapidly i could be dead within the week right now, so yea this is a pretty seriously bad take despite the good intentions.
