Oh you gonna lay facts on me?
GG @Deleted User, you just advanced to level 1!
1. For one all of the programs that Bernie wants to add it will cost about 13 trillion
2. If you literally taxed everyone in the US who makes at least a million a year by 100% you would only end up with 3 trillion
1. The programs are highly unlikely to cost any more than $1 trillion, as republicans forget these are the same things FDR once wanted, and FDR did similar things
2. Even if it did cost more than $1 trillion then no more than $3 trillion as it is hard to spend much more
3. If we can afford $1 trillion in tax cuts for the rich then we can afford Bernie supported projects
4. What about the poor / needy who CAN'T pay for such things like school, medical bills, food, homes, but the rich can afford getting a $1 trillion tax break which can save many lives from the effects of homelessness.
5. The middle class can also be taxed if they make a sustainable wage paying for even more
6. My family cannot afford many nice things because of the current rate of taxes (we make less than $200K including taxes)
7. If that is fair then why did we lose out on $1 Trillion in tax breaks for the rich
TL:DR of this:
It was proven once, it can be proven again. Also the taxes on the rich should be raised while the poor (who cant afford it) get taxed a lot
And even more of a fact $1 trillion is very high, as FDR paid only less than half of a trillion
Btw, I think FDR is the 3rd Greatest President but he did get some help from the war
As America is amazing at making money from World Wars
Just wanted to say that
Gtg now
Cya
Cya dude
Were you guys talking about the New Green Deal?
British Gamer, what are your first and Second greatest presidents?
Because Iβd argue heβs second, just behind Washington
Okay
@DralTor Washington and Lincoln
Then FDR
FDR is one of the worst Presidents. Him, Lyndon B. Johnson and Obama
Ulysses S. Grant, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson are my favorites
Iβd put Lincoln 3rd
Not at all. He was great
He destroyed the hope of a civil south
They were harassing blacks.
And they still do to this day
Jefferson is in my top 10
I live in the south
Itβs a backwards hell hole
Not to the extent that they were following the Civil War, though.
He essentially undid the civil war
Whites were straight out carrying out vigilante justice on blacks. Grant just kept that under control
All those union lives lost in vain
How about JFK?
Opinions on him?
I like Jefferson as well
Not so good
I disagree with you. He reinforced the main idea behind the civil war which was to end slavery
He should have called off the Bay of Pigs invasion
In order to do that blacks needed their rights protected
Tbh, Bay of Pigs was the standard Cold War screw up every President has to do
