[Hoot Gibson]

Hooter, I assume this is your attempt to undermine the funding of these proposals.

  Shaming people with “wealth envy.” 

But let’s remember until the end of Ronnie years, the wealthy have always been taxed at higher rates to pay their fair share. 

Corporations often pay less in taxes than mechanics, sanitation workers, restaurant workers, etc. 
Considering how many of them we’ve bailed out over the past 50 years, maybe they should pitch in too. 

Despite the myriad of lame and disingenuous attempts to distract and divert, this proposal is intended to get people to work and in turn will help that American birthrate that’s been in the news so much this week. 

As far as that birth rate is concerned, We have two choices. 1.  Incentivize young Americans to have children. 2. Let in more immigrants.  (Oh boy, resident conservatives are filling their britches with that one )

Liar. The wealthy paid income taxes at a higher rate than poorer people under Reagan. We should not be incentivizing deadbeats and individuals who cannot afford to raise children without large wealth transfers from people who can afford to raise their own children.

Eliminating the corporate income tax and implementing a consumption tax would create a fair tax system that would allow anybody with a healthy work ethic to pay for the needs of their own offspring.
