How much are the 35 richest Republican lawmakers worth, between them?

[goaded]

What do you think their opinion is on tax cuts for the rich?

$350 Million ($10 million, on average)

$700 Million ($20 million, on average)

$1 Trillion ($29 million, on average)

$2.5 Trillion ($71 million, on average)

No idea, see results

The answer is $2.5 trillion.

And I ask the same question of the Democrats: how many millionaires and billionaires and using the same numbers you used?

[goaded]

Good question. I suppose you could look it up.

[goaded]

That was easy: en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_current_members_of_the_United_States_Congress_by_wealth

Democrats made up 7 of the top 25, 3 in the top 10, albeit back in 2018/2019.

[onedarkcloud]

Nah, I got my answer, by the way, from the way you answered the question. You knew the answer before you asked the original question

[goaded]

What? That the answer is a lot fewer than Republicans? Republicans who are voting themselves a windfall.

[onedarkcloud]

Yeah, I guess the number has kind of shut down since Trump shut down the millionaire-making process in Congress, with DOGE closing the billion-dollar slush fund windfall. Democrats have to go back to earning it and have to declare it for taxes

[abc3643]

TRILLION? I think you skipped billion.

[goaded]

Bother! Yes, of course you're right! Oopsie! Have a thousand MHOs.

[NathanDavis]

doesn't matter Red or Blue...

just between BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street... there's at least 25 trillion dollars combined investing on pretty much every S&P 500

and yes... also funding campaigns for both sides, and the lawmakers of BOTH sides investing their money back to all these three powerhungry behemots so...

[goaded]

How many Democratic millionaires do you think will be voting for this bill?

[NathanDavis]

the same number of Democrats who supported Bernie Sanders to lead the taxation against the stupidly rich... when they had the chance

barely any or none...

[NathanDavis]

money talks...

[Avicenna]

Did all of those rich Democrats in Congress ever raise taxes on the wealthy to suit Bolsheviks like you when they controlled it? And they always pretend they want higher taxes on the wealthy when they’re propagandizing.

As usual, you understand nothing about the US or US politics.

Now, let’s take a look at the UK and Germany and see who pays taxes there..,….

[exitseven]

not as much as the Pelosies. They have a net worth of 450 million dollars. Paul Pelosi has racked up an astonishing 100% win rate on his stock picks. He must be an economic genius.

[goaded]

As usual, whoever told you that chose to double the number. I'm with you on not allowing share trading by lawmakers and presidents, but bear in mind that Trump has made a billion on crypto that even he said was a con.

[exitseven]

I heard this on the radio on Thursday. Even an exaggerated number is a lot for a job that pays 175,000./year

[goaded]

You should change the channel. Of course "an exaggerated number is a lot", that's why it was exaggerated, to make you angry and distract from the facts.

[onedarkcloud]

No, it was all insider trading using what the general public was not privy to, to stuff their pockets

[lightbulb27]

wow. that's what happens when you inflate as part of a consumer driven economy and are smart enough (in position) to capture the gains.

i have to assume they don't want to tax themselves too much... certainly not taxing their wealth.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

2.5 Trillion, why am I not surprised -_-

And Trump pretends to be a man of the people.

[OddBeMe]

Can't dems are better here, but at least they ain't cutting Medicaid for poor people

[WindAtMyBack]

Who cares? It's irrelevant.

[goaded]

Not if they stand to make millions by voting for something that kills people.

[WindAtMyBack]

You are making assumptions that you can't make.

[goaded]

Not at all. Tax cuts give them money, Medicare cuts will kill people.

[WindAtMyBack]

Tax cuts don't give them money. It was already theirs.

As for killing people, bullshit. The cuts are mainly to weed out the leaches, who are a huge portion of the recipients, probably a large majority.

[goaded]

Will they have more money after a tax cut or less?

No, it's a disgusting lie and dehumanising, to boot, that most people on Medicaid are "leaches", even worse than lying about them not working, when most of them already are.

[Sal_Monella]

I am trying, but failing to care.

[msc545]

Too much.
