@JamesFallows @nprfreshair @ddiamond It is for me! We can push it the front if we create a tidal wave of questioning about testing.

.@JeffMessineo: @JamesFallows & NPR are just entertainment for those who already dislike Trump. They've only ever *helped* Trump by being a tantruming opposition. It's always been incredibly easy to undercut Trump where it counts - to his base - but they obviously aren't capable.

.@JamesFallows is so afraid of questions he won't allow comments. He could easily ask a Trump proxy tough questions (written by others), but he's afraid of that too. MT @Revivalist_1925 We can push [Covid19 issue] the front if we create a tidal wave of questioning about testing

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@rusteenh: the more fundamental cause is lack of open debate, & those who enable groups that are allergic to debate (Trump, @nprfreshair, MSM, Dem/GOP leaders, etc). If NPR had ever asked a Trump proxy a tough Socratic question about policy, Trump would be a *lot* better.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@FelinaBlanc: whether Trump did/didn't do what @nprfreshair accuses him of, he's getting away with it. That's because people like you enable worthless entertainers like NPR, rather than really pressing them to finally do their jobs & ask leaders tough policy questions.

Trump won & will win again because of those like Fallows. They simply aren't smart enough to figure out how to undercut Trump in ways that'd undercut him to his fans. MT @JamesFallows [Trump lies, I tells you!] MT @ec_blueearbooks [FOAF claims he almost joined Nirvana]

@JamesFallows @JeffreyGoldberg @TheAtlantic No one had these misgivings when Jake Tapper was doing the same thing during the Obama years.
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@TeresaKopec: you pretend Obama fans accepted slightly-tough questioning of their idol when that's completely wrong. They reacted the same way Trump & #MAGA do now. Also, @JamesFallows pushes anti-American NeoLiberal policies that led directly to Trump winning.

.@JamesFallows: #TheAtlantic is too cowardly to allow comments & you're an urcoward. That aside, how are you & yours different from Hannity? Hannity deceives for Trump. The Atlantic - incl you - have constantly deceived to help the rich lower wages by lying about #immigration.

@JamesFallows @edbott similar arguments made in favor of AMT when adopted (and also not indexed for inflation)
Ed Bott's avatar
From @edbott
@pmohme @JamesFallows I think $1 billion is a pretty good starting point, esp. in an era of low inflation.
Paul Mohme's avatar
From @pmohme
@edbott @JamesFallows maybe so, but 65% is flat out confiscatory...and won't affect most ultra-rich who create foundations...

From @edbott
@pmohme @JamesFallows On the other hand, the country survived w/ higher estate tax until the 80s.
James Fallows's avatar
From @JamesFallows
@edbott @pmohme Through most of modern history US had much higher taxes, income and estate, than now.
Paul Mohme's avatar
From @pmohme
@JamesFallows @edbott you mean most of the 20th century...extended Depression (1930s) and stagflation (1970s) resulted.
Ed Bott's avatar
From @edbott
@pmohme @jamesfallows You think that high income and estate tax rates were responsible for those economic events? Srsly?
Paul Mohme's avatar
From @pmohme
@edbott @JamesFallows yes, tax policy of the 1930s prolonged the Depression: https://t.co/WhGonCjo0V
Paul Mohme's avatar
From @pmohme
@edbott @JamesFallows similarly, higher taxes contributed to stagflation: https://t.co/BRQCZvn54t

From @edbott
@pmohme @jamesfallows Well, that’s a fascinating read but has nothing to do with estate taxes. It argues for indexing marginal tax rates.
