>Cortez fanfare is so triggered by everything. "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Congressman Steve Scalise on Twitter with a condescending tone Saturday after the Republican lawmaker criticized her 70% tax bracket proposal." >The same as they do on these boards.
Rep. Scalise said Republicans want to let Americans keep more of their own hard earned money and the Dems want to take away 70% of your income to give it to leftist fantasy programs.
Ocasio-Cortez replied by saying, “You’re the GOP Minority Whip. How do you not know how marginal tax rates work?” >This exact phrase has been used on these boards; >How do you not know how marginal tax rates work?
Ocasio dems are running a media campaign for her to boost popularity because she is unpopular. This is why the Ocasio threads have been none stop and the false reporting on a manufactured media event surrounding a dancing video that was released during the mid-term campaigns.
DO NOT LET MOSSAD DO ANYTHING TO ALEXANDRIA OR ANY OTHER CONGRESSPERSON

Louisiana here, hope Scalise gets Speaker in 2020 when these dirty liberal fucks get voted out
Anthony Rodriguez
Who’s this broad Cortez?
Levi Bailey
Yes. The Cortez crew is now trying to make her popular, because she is not, by threatening Rep.Scalise with another sniping attack. This is the guy that got shot by a bernie democrat socialist and the media covered for him. Remember this guy
It wont be Mossad. It would be Americans since she poses a dire threat to our country.

A marginal tax rate is the tax rate on income set at a higher rate for incomes above a designated higher bracket, which in 2016 in the United States was $415,050. For annual income that was above cut off point in that higher bracket, the marginal tax rate in 2016 was 39.6%. For income below the $415,050 cut off, the lower tax rate was 35% or less. In the United States in 2016, for example, the highest marginal federal income tax rate was 39.6%, applying to earnings over $415,050. Earnings under $415,050 that year had a lower tax rate of 35% or less.
With a flat tax, by comparison, all income is taxed at the same percentage, regardless of amount. An example is a sales tax where all purchases are taxed equally. A poll tax is a flat tax of a set dollar amount per person. The marginal tax in these scenarios would be zero.

You're clearly not trying hard enough. I don't have any college degree whatsoever and I still pull in $80k doing graphic design with skills I learned mostly on the job.
And I bet the people saying this had no idea that a fellow demoshart tried to do exactly what they're calling for not too long ago because they're uninformed retards who gobble up corporate media propaganda like pig feet.

Announcing a sage is a bannable offense.
This needs to change. We have thousands of new users ever single week and none of them know what a sage is. Nobody reads the FAQ. I understand why this is a rule. I have been here for a decade and I remember the sage bombs. But even that was better than what we have now.
We are in a new era. There are political actions committees, advertising firms, psychology professors and troll farms that see the Jow Forums community as a resource to be exploited. There are massive amounts of time, energy and cash being pumped into researching the type of OPs that trigger a pavlovian response to bump the thread. This isn't a conspiracy theory this is documented fact. The only way to fight this is to make sage cool again.

>congressman investigating pedophulia continues to have his life threatened makes you think
You went out somewhere and copy pasted something. That's not really the answer that someone who understands what a marginal tax rate is would give.
I'd expect something more like.
Split up all your income into groups of $10. These groups are called margins. Every $10 margin that you have gets taxed at a different rate. Your first $10 gets taxed at 0%, so you pay $0 in taxes for that margin. Your second $10 gets taxed at 10%, so you pay $1 in taxes for that margin. Your third $10 gets taxed at 20%, so you pay $2 in taxes for that margin. And so on. If you have $30, you will pay $0 + $1 + $2 = $3 of taxes in total.
The tax rate that you pay for each margin - 0% for the first $10, 1% for the second $10, etc, is called the marginal tax rate.

Why the fuck are Republicans being so fucking autistic when it comes to Cortez? She is literally a non-issue 1 term unless they keep memeing her infinitely to give her free press.
Seriously just ignore her, don't act like some rabid follower of her is her responsibility. If I follow and or support marco rubio and then just started saying "KILL BERNIE WITH A GLOCK 19" is Rubio responsible for me? No. Just stop foaming at the mouth over a lame duck commie and focus. Otherwise you'll be giving her unexpected support
Chase Allen
Well, it was better said then I could have ever. :)
>Why the fuck are Republicans being so fucking autistic when it comes to Cortez? The leftists are the ones spazzing out when their own rules are applied to them. Eat shit, faggot.
70% for openers! Let her talk her ideology into a shallow unmarked grave! Let her talk, let her talk, let her talk... She's like a dyslexic salesperson with ADD...

That shit has been dropped in a lot of ocasio threads. I never read it and assumed it was shilling for Ocasio.
AfterI read it and understand now. I retractI was wrong about you and im sorry. You and I are right and this is more evidence of there little troll army infesting the boards.

Obamacare was a democrat plan. Pretty sure that was drafted by insurance companies to mandate that everyone get insurance. The republicans have never done something that bad.

>How many people do you think haven't heard of Ruby Ridge? I bet if you asked 100 people under the age of 40 if they knew what Ruby Ridge was, you'd be lucky if 5 of them had even the slightest idea. And if they were under 30 or 35, its more likely that none of them would know about it.
Elijah Long
I’m not so sure. There’s been tv shows and documentaries. I guess it might depend on where you picked 100 people from..
Imagine being an Ocasio believer before she pulls a Bernie and is either forced out by the democrat establishment or sells out to the democrat establishment

>the Dems want to take away 70% of your income to give it to leftist fantasy programs. Which is a standard bullshit Republican line as they are intentionally dishonest to serve their donors. The top bracket is 70 percent of your income for each dollar made above a certain amount so this will not affect your average Joe Republican. Ooooo some guy on twitter said something how horrible!
Daniel Howard
they;re called tax brackets, not margins. Marginal tax rate refers to the rate paid on the 'marginal' (last/highest) dollar earned. We should be talking about effective tax rates rather than marginal (because it is mathematically impossible to pay 100% of the non-zero marginal tax rate) but marginal tax rates get headlines.
