>>509252090>Assuming your opponent is ignorant because they disagree with you is silly.I don't.
I assume you're ignorant because you spout ignorant things.
You complain about talking points, then you go off and spout a whole boatload of them. Talking points with no basis in reality. You misunderstand what I was saying - my point was that you think you're educating me when you're just spouting off a bunch of shit I've already heard, used to believe, and, after I looked into them myself, came to understand as complete bullshit.
>No. I am saying the New Deal did fuck all to get us out of the depression and actually caused a recession. Very different. This right here is a talking point, for starters. There's very little proof of this assertion outside of claims made by right wing rags and most economists would laugh right in your face for making it.
The New Deal helped spread the wealth that was produced from the manufacturing boom coming out of the war. Most economists would back that statement. You can cope all you want trying to dismiss it as mainstream opinion but what it all boils down to is that you can't prove the situation would have been better *WITHOUT* the New Deal because that didn't happen and historical evidence of your assertion doesn't exist.
>No, I understand it very well. The problem is every time “pay their fair share” is mentioned I get taxed as well.That's because the people with wealth control the conversation and the system. They tie your interests into your interests.
I'm not talking about raising taxes on people making tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even single digit millions here. I'm talking about increased taxes on every dollar made over ten million, a hundred million, and a billion.
That doesn't affect you. And yeah, there is something you fail to grasp here - you fail to grasp that the highest tax bracket is as low as it is precisely because that's how the wealthy people you're arguing in favor want it.
