>White House senior strategist and former Goldman Sacks investment banker Steve Bannon is calling for a 10% federal tax increase on those making more than $5 million a year, The Intercept reports.
>Trump’s previous tax plan would have lowered the top tax bracket from 39.6% to 35%, but now Bannon is floating a trial ballon of instead raising the top rate to 44%.
>Bannon was head of Breitbart News before being appointed chief executive of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
>If Congress were to pass such a bill, it would only effect the 43,000 Americans who make more than $5 million per year. Such a proposal would decrease the federal deficit by raising $180 billion in new revenue over the next decade.
What's going to happen first Sup Forums? Republicans defending high tax rates for richfags or Democrats denouncing it?
Cut the loop holes, tax a low but fair rate, enough bullshit. And yes the Democucks will most likely be against it just because.

I don't give a fuck if millionaire Jews get taxed 44%
So long as the Democrats don't get their way and tax people making 50k-100k 60%.
Besides, wasn't it the celebrities and tech giants who were asking for a tax increase?
Henry Morris
THICC BOYZ
Juan Lewis
problem is its impossible to cut all the loopholes, because many of them are caused by the kind of world we live in. Free trade, free movement of money around the globe, corporations being treated as people, etc. these are all the biggest loopholes. and they cant be closed without a complete topdown revolution of politics.
But you cant do it all quick either, or you get the cuba scenario, where all the rich simply leave, and all the global corporations abandon their American operations as they relocate their HQ to ireland or China

Trump could find the cure for cancer and then leave it in pill form at the door step of every citizens. The Huffpost article titles would be.

I have not met a single person who can tell me why they hate Steve Bannon. All of the liberals I know talk about him as if he's pure evil, but when I ask them they just say "B-b-b-breitbart"
Caleb Butler

Zachary Brooks
"White House floats 44" No, Bannon made the suggestion, and even that to the best of my knowledge is only rumored, and unconfirmed.
Anthony Green
This is a tax on the Power-Elite. Those who dont even consider themselves Americans but "Global Citizens"
These are the faggots with Gulfstream jets who fly to Aspen to laugh at the poor people.
Bannon is right. Fuck these people. Fuck these jews.

Logan Russell
>so we just tax the shit out of the things they buy
You know 90% of the US population has no say over what Congress passes. Unless you are in the top 10% income bracket, your opinion is moot.
This is why we need to abolish government, it does the bidding of the rich.
Ryder Morales
>Read the Mussolini's fascist manifesto. Fascists were proworker
LOL you are fucking insane. Fascism was state corporatism. Hitler went so far as to ban unions.

Eli Barnes
>Republicans defending high tax rates for richfags or Democrats denouncing it? Democrats denouncing it. Tax the shit out of Jew celebrities and nigger athletes, those are the majority of people with annual incomes of $5 million or more.
Carson Sullivan
How do you spin a tax hike on the super rich into something about it being a Nazi trick?
Because that's the only characterizaton that gave on Bannon for all these months.
Eli Jones
>then we tax the shit out things corporations buy
AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT?
I'VE ASKED YOU SEVERAL TIMES AND YOU JUST KEEP SAYING TAX THE RICH LIKE BERNIE FUCKING SANDERS
Lincoln Gutierrez
Corporations run Congress so Congress will tax corporations who don't pay taxes.
Robert Harris

Alexander Johnson

Luke Wilson
>Koch's run the white house >Koch's supported Hillary instead of Trump lol Kochs are on the outs and they support the neoliberal Democrat order anyways, that bogeyman is now on the left side, enjoy them!
Hudson Perez
>he already said he agrees to raise taxes on the rich
Which he later backtracked on, did you forget that silly?
Easton Taylor
>Raising taxes on the very rich has been a rare policy that President Donald Trump has publicly espoused throughout much of his life. On Tuesday, he told the Wall Street Journal, “if there’s upward revision it’s going to be on high-income people.”
>“I have wealthy friends that say to me, ‘I don’t mind paying more tax,’” he said. White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders was pressed on Trump’s comment at a televised briefing Wednesday, and said that further specifics of the plan would be released shortly, with an emphasis on tax cuts for the middle class.
Carter Taylor
The boomers are shitting their pants right now.
They got fooled into voting for Trump who is completely against his own generation.
It's good that we have another 3 years before the election, we need to keep red pilling young because the old boomer generation will likely go 80% or more with democrats next time around.
> takes hikes on the rich; mostly boomers > medical insurance up to five times higher for people over 65 > closing the borders and illegals being deported at record highs; boomers are the main employers of them, benefiting off of cheap slave labor.
Trump is doing what's best for the country and the future generations. I think its going to be a tight election next time around.
Right wing cuck boomers thought Trump was going to give them cheese and shekelz but it turns out no so.
Aiden Moore
no read my other post .
Isaiah Butler
Again he back tracked and said everyone should get a tax cut.
And he sure as hell isn't talking about Donald Trump, Trump doesn't want to pay more taxes.

Bullshit detector is going off right here.

Angel Wright
Stop taxing income. Earning wages should be encouraged and rewarded, not reduced to pay for a bloated government. Instead tax property and purchases.
Benjamin Young
His base are richer than most Americans, you are telling me TRump will tax his own VOTING BASE?
Xavier Morgan
I like it.
I nor anyone ITT makes $5 mil a year.
And even if did make 5 mil a year, i assure you that a 10℅ tax increase wouldn't mean shit to me. Im stilo buying that 5th beach house EZ.
Is it "fair" Not in principle.
Does that mean anything? Nope. Life isnt fair. From a utilitarian point of view, it makes sense although unfair.
And no this isn't an endorsement of socialism. That doesn't make sense and has proven to fail. Anyone ne who jumps to that extreme as a counter to this sensical proposal, go fuck yourself.
James Powell
Why would I be against Jews getting taxed at 44%
Tax the fuck out of the personal income of the rich but lower all business taxes so they're competitive with Ireland etc
Brody Morris
Bannon got PISSED during the recession and got some heretical ideas (for the establishment GOP). So i believe it 100%
Owen Harris
Anyone who thinks this is a bad idea should read this:
its the cities where you have families of 5 living in 1 bedroom apartments but youre sheltered from that in the bubble you live in from living in your moms basement
Xavier Sullivan
also he wants to TAX the rich and lower corporate taxes to balance things that s different . he is against FLAT TAX AS WELL youtube.com/watch?v=M6mg4hNIxVs
Nicholas Cooper
>enjoy losing in 2020 again you retard
Trump's base are all poor. They are white and mostly middle to upper middle class. Yeah SOME white poor people voted for him, not a lot, most poor don't vote at all.
Angel Howard
This entirely. The Dems would be against it because Reps are for it, if not, then to please the demons that Hillary hides in her oversized pants. If they don't, then she'll sick her snatch demons on them.
Evan Bell
Oh and his base would be pissed as fuck if you raised taxes on them. but hey I thought democrats were the ones wanting to RAISE taxes all the time like socialist Bill Clinton and Obama?
Brody Phillips
They should tax Soros 100%
Jaxson Allen
When private citizens become rulers through the favor of their fellow citizens, these may be called civil principalities. One can reach this position through the favor of either the common citizens or the nobles, because the two classes are found in every city. The nobles want only to oppress the people, and the people want only to avoid oppression. From these opposing impulses can come three results: a principality, a republic, or anarchy. When the nobles feel pressure from the people, they try to make one of their own the prince in order to protect their privileges. When the people feel they cannot resist the nobles, they try to make a fellow citizen prince in order to protect their rights. You can never satisfy the nobles by acting honorably, but you can satisfy the people.
