a UPS driver making $170k under the new contract, married to an elementary school teacher making $80k, is gonna hit that level of "rich" https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/08/10/ups-driver-pay-new-contract/70571518007/ https://www.silive.com/education/20...he-average-salary-for-new-york-educators.html
Is there any detail on this story? Raise taxes by how much for what income brackets exactly? They mention the tax liability percentage for the top percentile earners but don't contrast it with the overall income percentage for those percentiles, that detail is huge when trying to determine if a tax is just.
$170k plus 80k is so far from “rich” Lol - With that income a family will be lucky to live paycheck to paycheck under Biden times
this was floated a couple of weeks ago, in part because of NYC dealing with migrant relocations to the city https://www.fox5ny.com/news/nyc-migrant-crisis-state-lawmakers-pitch-tax-hike
It's purely semantics, whether it's "rich" or not doesn't matter when determining if a tax raise is warranted for that income bracket. Income isn't a lone way to determine "rich" either, a 250k income with a 10+ million dollar net worth is "rich" IMO, a working couple with kids making 250k with a net worth of 100k is a working-class/middle-class situation and a thousand miles from being "rich" IMO. But again, the semantics here hardly matter and the wording is just tinder to light an emotional/political fire. Whether a certain income bracket deserves a tax adjustment is mostly a math problem.
There's zero detail in that article / news segment, how can we be outraged, or inspired or whatever with out detail Nothing here yet
can't help you there, I am guessing this is simply the same Green New Deal/climate action tax hike she has advocated for over the past several years. Sounds like it simply has had new life breathed into it
If you're responding to the first sentence of that post - If you're responding the the 2nd sentence of my post - Ok.
dude . . . we're talking about Democrats. There are no details, no long-term plan. Just highfalutin' "tax the rich" slogans. c'mon now
can't even find the letter on Jabari's web page, that's how proud he is of it . . . if you can find it let me know https://www.nysenate.gov/senators/jabari-brisport
How about you finish that post that the website crashed deleted, champ. I agree it seems silly for them not to have details here, although I really don't understand the circumstances surrounding the proposal.
