[NEWS] Annoying Orange proposes $54 bil increase on military spending

[LeisureSuit912]

"The Bernie Sanders “free college” plan would already cost some $70 billion a year as a starting point. "

That's still about a tenth of the $601 billion we spend on our military every year.

actually 62 billion, first of all, and donald Annoying Orange has no intention of making the wealthy pay a cent for any of this

64billion > 52

and donald Annoying Orange has no intention of making the wealthy pay a cent for any of this

...Why should they?

[IkeTheGeneric]

I guess all those random-ass federal budget cuts really meant nothing after all

Yes because the rich will pay for all your taxes. They wont just loving leave and refuse to invest in your country.

64billion > 52

i think the argument here is that a overall better educated nation is more beneficial than an increase on military funding, not that 64 is a bigger number than 52

Oh

Yeah then in that case I agree, but 64 billion a year is pretty forgetin steep

[IkeTheGeneric]

They wont just loving leave and refuse to invest in your country.

You're right, they won't. It would be silly to believe otherwise that a majority of the richest Americans would leave america if their taxes increased.

64billion > 52

Oh

$654 billion yearly for the military > $64 billion a year for educating america

...Why should they?

are you asking me why rich people should pay taxes..?

Yes because the rich will pay for all your taxes. They wont just loving leave and refuse to invest in your country.

...That's what I meant when I  said they would pay for ALL your taxes

[PhantOS]

if college was free there would be significantly more people with college degrees, they would get payed more & pay more taxes towards the government

when the military fires a tank shell, it flies across the land and hits a vehicle, destroying it in the process and costing the government about $2,000 dollars every time.

i think the former is a better deal

[IkeTheGeneric]

...That's what I meant when I said they would pay for ALL your taxes

I gotta be honest, if you think about it really hard, expecting a majority of a demographic to break the law seems a big fictional after a certain point. I am pretty sure they would pay their taxes no matter the tax hike so long as it wasn't increased by a ridiculous margin.

they control 99% of the nation's wealth, they'll live if pay more on their taxes/are actually forced to pay their taxes instead of evading them

Taxing the 1 percent by up to 90% like what Bernie wanted is pretty loving ridiculous. Also the video in my original post explains why this doesn't work

if college was free there would be significantly more people with college degrees

More like you will be put on a 10 year waiting list because of how many people that are trying to get in

You are beyond deluded at this point
