The Trump Teddy Roosevelt parallels are becoming more evident daily. Both came from privileged. Both knew the dangers of letting the elites

and letting the elites control everything and call all the shots. Both put the average patriotic US citizen taxpayers first. Indisputable. That’s why Teddy is on Mt. Rushmore and the elites want to destroy it.

Teddy Roosevelt believed that a graduated income tax, where higher earners paid a higher percentage of their income in taxes, was a more equitable system than relying solely on tariffs. He publicly supported this idea in his 1907 State of the Union address and continued to advocate for it throughout his political career.

Seems tRump is going in the OPPOSITE direction, trying to CUT taxes on high earners and INCREASE tariffs. Parallel, perhaps, but moving in OPPOSITE directions!!

@georgelong @jackjjackson
It's cute how you guys keep reposting the insults you initially posted that caused the hostility warning🤣😂

You guys were soundly beaten on the question of whether the mandatory deductions from a paycheck by the government known as payroll taxes are in fact taxes.

Georgie even gave the game away when she wrote that payroll taxes are "called that because they are withheld from paychecks. The government requires employers to collect taxes for them."

Indeed🤣😂😝🤣😂
@jackjjackson Nope. Because of lower capital gains rates, even income taxes are regressive. Add in payroll taxes and they're even more regressive.


Most Americans pay more in payroll taxes than income taxes

@georgelong Funny thing: you never cite any DATA to support your claims!

@georgelong @jackjjackson You guys can't deny that payroll taxes are "called that because they are withheld from paychecks. The government requires employers to collect taxes for them." So instead of logic or evidence, you've shifted to insults. And you keep saying you're going to quit the conversation, but you CAN'T STAND to see the W2 form and pay stubs that PROVE you wrong🤣😂


Notice the three separate deductions from the net wages. Notice federal income tax, SS tax, and Medicare tax are ALL withheld from net wages. Notice the FICA total takes nearly as big a bite as the income tax.

Unless you're counting the Lakota Sioux tribe, whose land it was, and from whom it was stolen, then your post, as usual, is BS.
The difference is that T.R. was known for his courage, while Trump is known for TACO.
@LeopoldBloom "courage" at that time in the USA meant shooting lions that trappers released for you and invading the Philippines for sugar planters. Very manly.

You ladies seem jealous of both of em. @LeopoldBloom @Roundandroundwego

Yep. Teddy’s Bone Spurs kept him from storming San Juan Hill.

I appreciate your “jam radar with nonsense” trolling style, but this is a poor attenpt.

@jackjjackson I rest my case

Both elected by the Americans to crack down and stay the brutal course, averting socialism.
jackjjackson · 70-79, M
Agreed. Good riddance to bad rubbish. @georgelong

You’ve triggered the hostility warning. I’m done wasting my valuable to time on you. You being no value to the table. @Kwek00
georgelong · 46-50, M
I agree and plan to do the same. @jackjjackson
georgelong · 46-50, M
One can only hope so. Interesting perspective.
georgelong · 46-50, M
Thanks for adding common sense to the discussion. @jackjjackson
@jackjjackson In your eyes, is tRump's tax cut sacrosanct??
jackjjackson · 70-79, M
ABSOLUTELY @ElwoodBlues
