What do you think, would people earning over $250K a year miss 5%?
Yes.
They'll miss it.
It's theirs and shouldn't be stolen from them.
Sorry, I tried to make it a yes or no, but I messed it up. I bet not all of them would. There are many super rich movie stars who are Democrats.
I think they'd gladly pay 5% in taxes compared to what they do now.
I'm on board.
I think you deliberately misunderstood :lol: I meant an extra 5% to pay for healthcare.
I don't believe they would. I think it would be worth it.
Probably not that much. But hey, if they won't miss 5 percent, they won't miss 10% either. And really, when you think about it, isn't 15% a more fair amount. And 15% isn't really a nice even number, so how about 20%. And we need some more money to pay for some nice social programs so how about 30%. What? The poor? Pay income taxes? Hateful bigot! The rich need to pull their weight. 40% is more like it.

You want to force me to pay thousands of dollars for some other person's health-care because they didn't buy their own?
What about if everyone paid 5%? I'm pretty sure my insurance costs me and my employer more than that now?
It doesn't matter which party one identifies with. If something is taken from you by force and under coercion, you miss it.
If we all paid a percentage of our income then we could work together and provide healthcare for everyone.
Oh, no. The Democrats, especially the Hollyweirders, are the stingiest of all. They give their pennies serial numbers.
Not necessarily. I would be one of those who would be taxed the extra 5% and I think it would be worth it.

That is so untrue.
So this is about if they would mind paying 5% more than they are now?
If they were paying 40%, would they mind paying 45% instead?
If they were paying 45%, would they mind paying 50% instead?
If they were paying 50%, would they mind paying 55% instead?
etc etc
It adds up.

So donate it. Feel free to give your money away to anyone who will take it. That is your choice.
What should NOT be your choice is how much of MY money will be stolen from me.
What makes that untrue? Have you observed very many rich people and poor people on an up-close and personal basis?
What good would that do anyone? I can give $20 to every homeless man I see every day and it won't fix the healthcare system. That's the topic here.
Yes. Have you?
