there are a lot of unemployed people. the first plan basically promised them like 4k/month. now 2k on top of that with this plan. the government is gonna pay tens of millions of americans 6k/month

 

[Freedman]

70% would never happen.


Believe it or not, that's what the tax rate was during the so called "golden days" of this country. And they were paying that while also paying a living wage.



Not that I think it would work with our current society. We need to figure out how to not be so wasteful with the budget before taking even more money from anyone else.

The real wealthy people that it would effect are making most of their money from investments/assets and not income. I think the capital gains tax is somewhere around 20 percent. So some 1%er is probably paying a lower percentage of taxes than you. And don't forget there are tax deductions, write offs, "accounting magic" , etc so alot of folks don't meet their full tax liability hence the "refund ballers" every year. That also happens for the rich but instead of a 5 thousand dollar refund they pay 250k in taxes instead of the million they were technically supposed to

You'll never convince politicians on both sides to tax the people lining their pockets.

It's not realistic, they'd raise taxes for the working class before stepping to their overlords.

 

[Scott Larock]

Funny thing is, if the people refused to go back to work there is a chance for this! They'd have to do this to keep some resemblance of an economy going.

It all hinges on people saying, "I'm not dying on your job".

For the first time in a loooong time the chips are in our corner.

Right now we're the NFL players bringing the Owners to the table. We have a chance of saying there will be no games (economy) unless you meet our demands!

Just as the situation in the NFL however, you have players (these guys in the thread saying hurry and send us back to work I have mansions to pay for) who are too shortsighted to recognize the opportunity.

Yeah if the media makes it bigger than it already is and people get on code, this is a time to change the system the problem is America is run of an image of I'm successful and you're lazy/broke so most likely people will spit in their own face just to prove their better than what they consider the lower half. They'll go back to slave as long as they feel they're better than __________ people.

• Monthly direct cash payments of at least $2,000 to every adult in the U.S., and an additional $1,000 for every child for up to a year;
• A nationwide moratorium on all evictions and foreclosures;
• At least $30,000 in student debt relief;

• 
  
  a cheaper option that would still give people incentive to find work whether part time or full time (when the situation improves)
  

• 
  
• 1200 @ unemployed without benefits. $800 at part-time employed. $400 @ full-time employed. $200 at each child dependent
  
• i would not pause evictions or foreclosures for a year. i would pass some type of rent control.
  
• 1 years worth of payments for the standard plan (not income dependent/graduated etc)

This is ridiculous. I don’t see how they could present this with a straight face.

Canadians getting theres but we supposedly the best nation in the world

 

[Mr Rager]

Progressives once again leading the way for the working class individuals of America

 

[Mr Rager]

I’m in no way a conservative, but this sounds absurd

But 2 Trillion dollars appearing out of thin air to bail out corporations is not absurd ?

 

[Mr Rager]

Right. And if people aren't working then where the fukk will the tax revenues come from to pay for this?
Please get these clowns the fukk up outta here

Maybe from the billionaires who NEED American workers to run the industries that they profit from

 

[Secure Da Bag]

But 2 Trillion dollars appearing out of thin air to bail out corporations is not essential ?

 

[I Really Mean It]

I’m in no way a conservative, but this sounds absurd

But passing trillion dollar tax cuts that only benefit the wealthy and corporations with multi-billion dollar valuations isn't absurd. Ya'll have been trained well.

 

[JT-Money]

Idiot Democrats could've put this on the table during the first stimulus. When the market was crashing and Republicans we're scared shytless. They probably would've gotten everything they asked for and more because Trump was terrified of being the scapegoat.

Worse party leadership in the history of politics.

Good luck convincing them to go with that plan.
