why can't yall read? This thread isn't about the possibility of paying for free college.

It's about bernie's specific plan to do so

LOL you're the one that can't read and made a thread sourcing something that has nothing to with Bernie Sanders plan nor the U.S.

I don't even want to hear it. You're just a hypocrite trying to damage control because you're too stubborn to admit that you're wrong.

We've been over this, the paper on FTT is directly applicable to Bernie sander's own robin hood tax.

Tim Worstall sources his paper in this article specifically about bernie's plans for a financial transaction tax.




You're the one who's wrong, you've got nothing factually for me.

No you're just making a straw-man argument and trying to string together two completely separate topics because you're a sore loser.

If what you say was factual, then more people would agree with you.

It's not a strawman argument if it's plausible that someone would hold a position opposite or opposing mine.


Are you arguing that bernie's proposed tax isn't a robin hood tax?

Because FTT is the same thing as a robin hood tax, therefore they're the same.

Just because you have no argument, doesn't make mine a strawman. I suggest you and the rest of the base learn what a strawman is

" A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent."


I'm refuting an argument directly advanced by Bernie Sanders, so by definition it isn't a strawman argument

Exactly, that definition directly applies to everything you say. So I don't know where you're confused on that front?

I'm honestly astounded this thread is still active. The only reason it's alive is because you are constantly trying to justify that you are right.

How many people will it take to tell you that you're wrong to finally get it through your head?

The only reason people go on your threads is because it's amusing to argue with you, not because anyone takes you seriously. I hope you understand that.

That's all I have to say.

You've got to be trolling now.

Of all the people on this thread who've said Im wrong, count how many didn't actually read the OP and Instead asserted their own strawman arguments that "because it works in Europe it must work here"

That is by definition a strawman because that's not what I'm even talking about.

The only dude who even came close had nothing about bias once I sourced the Executive Branch of the European Union agreeing with the paper on FTT's being terribly ineffective ways to produce tax revenue.


So by all means point out exactly where I make a strawman argument, and why it is one.
