I love when people think they are part of the 1% Fact if you make 50k a year, around $45 of your taxes go to welfare,food stamps and social programs. $2k go to corporate subsidiaries annually. Also learn how taxes work. The proposal would not be that anyone that has a net taxable income over 4 million dollars would pay 45% tax. It is that anything over 4 million dollars made in net taxable income would be taxed 45%. Big difference. Not even sure how much actual income it would take to reach 4 million taxable but I am sure no one on this forum is close to that annually. FDR and Jefferson are some of our greatest leaders in history. See what they say about progress. Why do people continually back and support this? This is both a democratic and republican issue.
