    No one’s saying this, this is a straw man.

    …and then you go on to spew exactly that talking point at length.

      Fuck off, liar. This is what I identified as a straw man:

      it’s such a serious threat to the country’s financial stability that we should chicken out and stop taxing the rich.

      Now quote me “spew[ing] exactly that talking point” that we should stop taxing the rich. You won’t, because you can’t, because I didn’t.

      Shameless, pathetic liar.

        …you do understand that “stop taxing the rich” in that sentence doesn’t literally mean set it to 0%, yeah? The only strawmanning here is you taking things way too literally. You still argued exact the thing I was talking about, i.e. that taxing them might make us lose revenue therefore we shouldn’t do it.

        Also, ad hominems get you blocked, so bye bye
