    I know conservatives suck at factual things like science and math, but 63% and 90% are two different numbers. Oh and the highest marginal tax rate isn't "taxing businesses" either.

    Pro tip: next time you see somebody say "citation needed" it's probably because the thing they're responding to has no basis in reality. There's no work for me to do here, I know what AOC has said and I knew the comment I was responding to was a complete fabrication.

      Are you being facetious candyland? It is hard to know. I do know 80% of my lyft drivers are Venezualan. I live in the States. I am going to guess on this one, but I bet 0% of lyft drivers in Venezuela are from the states.

      Even if there was work for you to do here, no one would hire you.

      According to a Google search, cnbc states, there is 280 trillion dollars of wealth in the world. The world.

      There are 7.53 billion people in the world as of 2017.

      280 trillion ÷ 7.53 billion = 36363.6363636.

      Let's just give everyone 36k and start over.

      But that's it. This is your one chance. Can you make it on that for the rest of your life??

      Can you???

        Finally something we can agree on. I 100% support your assertion that the only two possible choices are the richest 1% of the population having 50% of the wealth and the poorest 50% of the population having 1% of the wealth...or everybody having the exact same amount of money. There’s literally nothing in between.

            Your reductio ad absurdum argument that the only way to improve in the current economic system is the most extreme other end possible. I agree with you that there’s absolutely no possible way to find something in between that’s more fair for everybody.

              I love that you took the time to study logic. I reduced it to the absurd to show you in basic concepts that there is NO possible way to do what she promises. Keep on studying logic.

        Don't go down that railroad and assume wealth just exists and isn't created.

          I am being facicious to prove a point to this person that there isn't all these riches for the taking from other people.

          If we actually divided it up as I stated above, most people would be broke again in less than a year.

          Keep in mind, to actually implement that would mean no one would have a job either.
