By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Since retiring two years ago, Joan Harris has upped her travel game. Once or twice a year, she visits her two adult children in different states. She’s planning multiple other trips, including to a science fiction convention in Scotland and a Disney cruise soon after that,

Well let’s tax them more and stop that. That may we will go into a recession where the less affluent will bear the brunt of it.

    You do realize the lower earners in this country pay taxes too, yeah?

    Then you didn’t look at the chart I provided you. We can’t have a conversation until you educate yourself on the topic. About 1/2 of Americans pay nothing in taxes. Zero

        I looked but it’s irrelevant.

        It’s a 100% relevant. We can’t have a conversation if you won’t be intellectually honest.

        I normally abandon a thread when it’s not productive. If you deny the real world then there is little value in a conversation.

        All Americans should be taxed at a similar pain level. It encourages people to stop voting for stupid spending.

            Then please directly answer the many questions I’ve posed which you refuse to acknowledge, like the ones in my previous message on this thread. It’s a two-way street dude.

            It’s not my job is answer every strange question you ask. I focus on the ones that make sense and ignore the others.

            We have a spending problem in this country. The democrat gave tricked to think it’s a taxing issue. It isn’t. We could take all the billionaires money and we’d still not cover our spending for a year.

            We need to spend less.

                The Democrats tricked you into thinking it’s a taxing issue.

                    This president has been one of the worst. The last president who really did a decent job with spending was Clinton. Otherwise, they have all spent more than they brought it.

                    The Democrats want you to believe if the top 5% paid more then all our problems would be solved. It wouldn’t. We spend too much as a country. The only way to tax our way our of it is everyone pays their fair share and stop expecting 5% to pay the bulk of the taxes. The top 5% pays the bulk of the taxes far larger than their income.

                    You can tax your way out of stupid spending.
