    It's funny when you sometimes pretend you are some sincere poster.

    So, you don't want to point to conservative cities so we can compare crimes? There's a few of them, and their crime rates are just as comparable to liberal cities.

    It's pretty obvious that roxrant and others here neither understand nor care why once again, some of our cities are in justifiable uproar...

    I’m talking about current cities that are doing the trifecta of burning, looting and murder . Which city is representing these culmination of those 3 attributes the best ? ...we heard of the trifecta of wash hands, wear mask, social distance well the purpose of this thread is to identify which cities are representing all 3 Forms of the ugly side of protests which have been burning, looting, and murder or attempted murder.

    For instance we know Baltimore is a murder city but you don’t see the burning or the looting so much...I want to proclaim which city does all 3 most consistently by identifying weekly examples...this is our stated mission in this thread. Meanwhile you have rashon trying to play pictures of what happened over the course of 1000 years without any context ...it’s kinda like how Black lives matter narrowly focused on black lives that are affected by police or possible racial implications Only. Full stop ....

    this is a very narrow brush that does not consider black lives overall such as the policeman killed that was black based on riots or the Wendy’s chopzone or Chicago killings of black children .All lives should matter and not just a very select few.

    facts.

    The distribution of the tax burden is an important issue impacting the debate surrounding tax policy as the 2020 race for the White House heats up. When looking at the income tax alone, the federal government’s largest revenue stream, current numbers from the IRS show that America’s code remains very progressive. Lower-income households face negative tax burdens, with effective rates rising with steadily as income increases. This suggests that any kind of tax plan intended to pay for a massive spending program like “Medicare for All” or student loan forgiveness would have a hard time raising sufficient revenue without dramatically increasing taxes on middle-income households.

    A responsible tax system eases the burden on those at the bottom striving to work their way up. But it also should be careful that the marginal rates at the higher levels don’t provide disincentives to greater earnings and productivity. Making one of the most progressive income tax codes in the world even more progressive risks doing just that.

    Can we not agree that murders and other violent crimes are occuring in conservative cities at the same rate as liberal cities?

    Very vague graph without empirical data which still shows “the highest” earners pay more tax . Thanks but next time if you want to show fluff, just post an ad for my pillow

    The graph was compiled from empirical data. One graph shows the wealthy pay a higher rate but still a vastly lower rate than previous. The other graph shows the wealthy becoming much more wealthy as the tax rate was reduced. Or as you call it, fluff.
