    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
