Not so fun fact.

1. Need to campaign on this

300% increase in corporate income taxes. National debt could be eliminated if they paid their fair share

[Silent Type]

2. Unfortuantely, the National Debt would not be eliminated by tripling corporate tax rate. Wish that were true.

We'd still have an annual Deficit, which increases Debt.

[GiqueCee]

4. But it isn't a reason...

... to NOT make those greedy, thieving SOBs pay taxes commensurate with the billions in quarterly profits they rake in.

Corporatism is the toxic tapeworm that is devouring our democracy from the inside out. It has to be stopped.

[Cheezoholic]

6. Yes, the top 1% needs to understand one thing and they don't care

Millions and millions have died and continue too, to save this experiment that allowed them to make the billions they have. They gotta pay. It's that simple in my mind.

14. Not sure what your point is aside from the national debt is a problem.

How is that relevant to the point of the graphic?

[Silent Type]

16. The point is simple, there is no simple solution to our Debt problem. So we will continue to ignore it, making

it impossible to pass major and costly healthcare legislation, child care, education, climate, etc.

And, very few Congresspeople -- including most Democrats -- would support tripling corporate tax rates.

[KPN]

17. Okay, I see. Be reslistic. It's hopeless so let's don't do anything.

3. Money buys good politicians. Ask the NRA.

It bought the Supreme Court, didn't it.

[DENVERPOPS]

5. The purchase of the Supreme Court

Came AFTER the NRA funneling massive foreign donations, (esp Russian Oligarchs donations) to Trump and also Many Senate and House campaign funds......and probably several State Governor's Campaigns........

And the forerunner to it all in 2010: CITIZENS UNITED

If you asked every voter, "What can you tell me about something called CITIZENS UNITED" there would be precious few that would know what you were talking about......Seriously

10. a friend of mine once said that everyone has a price.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. And the tax ate of 94% under Eisenhower on the wealthy, the numbers of which have exploded. It's a mess

[IronLionZion]

8. The job creators will trickle it down all over us

just you wait. Any day now. Be patient.

[onecaliberal]

9. I agree. On the same day Garland investigates the congressional insurrectionists.

[KPN]

15. Yeah, trickle down worked for about 5 or maybe 10 percent of the population

at most. For the other 90 to 95%, it was trickle up. … A bass ackward way of doing things!

[AllaN01Bear]
