Debates


This a long, detailed but an excellent description of our tax system and why the richest nation has such a crushing deficit. The speaker is a Harvard Law professor.

Yeah but who likely looks up WSJ articles or the federal register. What we do like is to see what members on the forum think about such things as this very article that you are telling us about . Summarize it, and tell us what you think about it . …..it’s a debate.
Last time I went on a beach stage, and pulled out several pages of some article to read aloud, they used a hook to pull me off of the stage.
But go for it. To each his own

Massachusetts passed a millionaires tax a few years ago and all the billionaires complained and threatened to leave the state but then they never did and the state used the $6 billion in extra revenue to fix all the failing bridges and roads in the state.

Wherever you live, if the infrastructure and essential services (think schools) are failing you, it's not the immigrants fault. Its the tax system rigged to prop up billionaires.


The billionaires and multi millionaires depend on that infrastructure.
