We need rich people to guide this country economically? That's a plutocracy
No stock market? No 401ks? That makes zero sense and displays a learned helplessness.

I'm thankful for all taxpaying Americans.

In the past 70 years the tax rate for the top 1% has dropped nearly 50% and now the 1% pays a lower tax rate than the middle class after 2017s tax cuts. I don't understand how it's unAmerican to ask the wealthy in this nation to pay their fair share. Seriously, think about Jeff Bezos who has to spend 1.7 million to equal the rest of us spending a $1. His company, Amazon, spent the past few years paying 0 taxes. ZERO...This year they got hit with 1.2% tax bill only about 23% less than the average taxpayer.

Been a few years since a got any type of check from the govt. including tax refunds. Can you say the same?

:biggrin:

I make my own checks, Fidel.

There have been a bunch of pure morons post on this board over the years, but I must say you may very well indeed be the biggest one of them all.
