"Global Warming Skeptic" Caller Now a Tax Expert Too Apparently

WAY TO GIVE HIM WHAT FOR SAMMY!

To be honest the lower tax = more/less tax revenue is probably a case by case scenario.

It did happen in Portugal that lowering the tax burden (in the middle and lower classes ) did increase tax revenue. That was a very special case because the wages were so low, that the economy was dying because a big percentage of the population couldn't afford basic needs.

I don't see that being the case in the USA, and tax cuts for the riches is definitely no the way to increase tax revenue.

Omg I was crying laughing when Seder was talking about the secret bureaucrat caviar economy!!!

Why would anybody try to argue with Sam Seder

The caller was brilliant and accurate in his opinions about his past call regarding global warming and did not mis-characterize the information he shared. The radio host was irrational and unfounded in his opinions that he asserted were factual when, in fact, they were and are not. For your examination below, one of many scientists ( a nobel laureate in this case) who contend the global change argument is unfounded:

The caller wasn't citing anything right wing or political. His numbers were factual, a much braoder example and much more compelling than the isolated Kansas example offered by the host.

Even Warren Buffett one of the riches people in the would even said rich and the corporations need a tax cut was bullshit

This guy must be killer at parties

This was painful

This is a super fun convo post AOC.

When this dude said they will use the money in a way to avoid taxes I thought to myself, "BINGO"

If you tighten tax loopholes and Force them into that situation the only way they can avoid taxes is to invest into the company. If Medicare for all is passed then that removes Medical benefits. Paid Leave, Maternal AND Paternal Leave are added, Paid Vacation, Bonus's and even Wage increases to avoid taxation. My guess is most are too selfish to use this easy Tax loophole though and will end up paying the fucking taxes in which case the government can take it and create Jobs with it instead.

Sorry Caller but you need to take a course in Econ. smh

Is this the guy from American Splendour?

Fuck those underwater universe leeches and the bureaucrats that send the capsules to them, they're all corrupt!

The post call discussion about the «caviar economy» had me dying 😂

This guy should call in and tell Sam how great the Trump Tax cuts were at increasing revenue.

- EVERY time they cut down taxes the revenue has gone up.
- Reagan? Kennedy? Kansas?
- Well, you can cherry pick all you want...

oh he is back with totally made up on the spot numbers and naming sources that nobody can verify or can be shown the source didn't say what he claimed.

Whatever happened to this guy?

Masterclass "Calling BS"

“am not a expurt in keanzus”

This guys not a bad dude but he's just flat out wrong. His entire argument is based solely on the idea that scientists, fucking scientists man, are trying to get rich by helping provide for a bettering future on earth for our civilization. Put some respect on what these guy do, its inherently noble.

The idiots that call into the show always reminds me of that scene in Inside Out, "these fact and opinions all look the same"

Does cutting taxes increase Revenue? It depends. If you cut the payroll taxes of the middle class in particular, they generally spend that money on goods and services, circulating it back into the economy. So, depending on the effective tax rate, it theoretically could increase net revenue down the line.

However, if you cut the Corporate tax rate for large publicly traded companies, they have a couple of choices: either spend that money back into the economy by raising wages or making business upgrades, or passing the savings on to consumers; OR, they can keep it circulating in the Stock Market by way of stock buybacks and shareholder dividends. Setting aside the enormous loopholes, investment earnings are taxed at a much lower rate than earned income from payroll taxes.

This is EXACTLY what happened after the GOP deep corporate tax cut in 2018. Payroll taxes went down slightly, and corporate taxes went down significantly. Companies did not spend it into the economy, but kept it for themselves and their shareholders as capital gains. Tax revenue plummeted, and we now have the largest deficit in history. Thanks, GOP.

Pretty sure this is Edmund Kemper calling from prison

Turk is a delusional idiot.

Sam, please ask these callers why they don't cross reference their sources. I am struggling to understand why they follow their ideology to the point where they ignore facts. I really wonder if these people can be educated about science and facts. This caller seems to be trying but his ideology lands him on the wrong websites.

Sounds like Bobo from O and A.

The guy is just word salading he doesnt have any clue what hes talking about

why am I having all these 5+ year old clips popping up on My feed the past two days?

isnt this the racist old man from the other videos?

I think I've heard this guy on The Atheist Experience once or twice.

This is why the volus don't have a seat on the council

Unbelievable

Lmao

“Give me one reason.” Jesus

Dude, he’s 10x dumber than last time.

Lmaoooooooo, was that Bill Clinton at the end? And "drag their body to the park" 😭😭😭

Reagan EXPLODED the deficit. Not enough money to cover expenditures. Huge debt increases.

i want to rebut with the Caviar anecdote..

This was beyond satisfying to listen to people like this who rely on sounding intelligent while actively lying about the information they provide. Losing that forced calm demeanour when they're actually fact-checked is therapeutic

Obviously our tax dollars go to the underwater economy aka Atlantis

This caller’s voice reminds me of an actor from something.
Maybe Hazel from the umbrella academy?

This was such an own, that the guy should have to pay a 99 year lease before he gets his life back.

To be fair, Sam, if that tax money goes to help certain people, the Right really does think it is like making the money evaporate.

BTW, yes, if you cut taxes, it is like putting the economy on cocaine. For a little while there is some stimulative effect, less and less each time but still some. But so little of the money goes to the ordinary person, and it is balanced out by them losing the services they would have had if the state had provided them, but now the state is not receiving that revenue anymore. Meanwhile, the bulk of the tax windfall goes to the rich, who don't need it and whose life is barely affected by it. They don't hire more people, because there is very little new demand for products, and so that money mostly goes into stock buybacks, which artificially inflates the stock market. Soon it crashes, and every possible benefit from the tax cuts (other than enriching the rich) is swept away until the next time.

As a bureaucrat (albeit at the state level), I have never eaten caviar in my entire life. Even if such food sounded appealing to me, the fact that my income is pretty close one way or the other to the national average, I doubt that I could afford it, anyway.

Holy shit this guy.


Dude, a when people say "I don't want to take a survey, thank you" that doesn't mean that they are picking the negative option of the survey.

If you ask me "are you in favor of X?" Me saying "I don't want to answer" is not saying I'm against X, it means I want to be left alone despite whatever I believe and don't want to take part.

These calls are still amazing even after all this time

There are so many angry, lonely people that feel like calling and screaming at Sam will make them less of a loser. And they are wrong.

"I have a lower top tax rate always equals higher tax income ideology, but I refuse to discuss a state where that ideology was tested and failed. Because discussing a direct example of my ideology would be cherry-picking."
