That’s what taxes are like in those countries always held up as examples of successful socialism.


    Does Canada or Denmark tax everyone at over 50%? Is there any industrialized country with some form of socialized medicine that taxes all of it's citizens over 50%?

    Again, nice troll.

      so which choice did you make?

      1, it didn't happen
      or 2, if it did happen that his campaign teamed with the Russians, it doesn't matter

      Maybe try taking a crack at arguing with this piece written by a former federal prosecutor. Otherwise you're just making an empty declarative statement based only on your political leanings.

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

It’s very easy to do that if you live in Utah, if you’re kind of clueless about the insularity, hatred and contempt that’s held by these people for the business community and landlocked states like Utah. Fortunatley, contrary to their belief, not everyone with a moral compass believes the things that they do.
          Stop with your arrogance and elistism. Good grief.

            This is what Sanders, Harris and Warren want. Biden too, as he’s now sprinting to the left.
            none of that would pass both houses. Frankly, there aren't even enough socialists in the House alone to pass 50% tax rates. There is a better chance of Trump handing Putin our nuclear codes.

                Of course SU is allowed to have opinions about Denmark’s system and Canada’s system. I guess he is immune from his own designation of ugly American.

                  Kind of reminds me what people said about Trump. Congress will reign in his dumber ideas and neutralize him.
                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    Kind of ended up being true in a way because most of what Trump has done has been completely around Congress. They haven't stepped up to stop him on much, but the courts have on several things. But Congress really hasn't actively supported him on much either, other than some traditional stuff like a tax cut bill.

                      Because I think the numerous lies from him and those around him about his and his campaign's actions around Russia are not in dispute at this point.
                      The Mueller Report will be a big disappointment. This is playing out predictably. Investigation drags on for a long time, a few Trumpians get twisted up and charged with perjury and/or obstruction. They find some tax violations and maybe some obscure campaign finance issues. But a smoking gun on Trump himself? Nope. Nothingburger.

                      His campaign's actions around Russia are not in dispute? Do you only read CNN and the Huffington Post?

                      • Given the times, this wish is probably a vain one, but I hope our next President doesn't Tweet. I confess I find Trump's incessant tweets (often a dozen a day) entertaining, although not the way he intends. I'd like a smarter, more thoughtful President from either party who has better things to do with his/her time than to throw out a never-ending stream of tweets that reflect the author's superficial and banal thought process.

                          Federal courts have done most of the heavy lifting reigning in Trump's dumber impulses. Those will be severely tamped down for the next 2 years w a Democratic Congress, too.

                            I don’t care what Canada and Denmark do. I want you and BS and the others to stop trying to turn us into Denmark or Canada. We’re not the same, and we’re a lot more successful. Where do you think most of the health care innovation comes from?

                                Denmark’s top end 60% tax rate applies to people making over about 55k.
