By CHRISTOPHER RUGABER AP Economics Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Since retiring two years ago, Joan Harris has upped her travel game. Once or twice a year, she visits her two adult children in different states. She’s planning multiple other trips, including to a science fiction convention in Scotland and a Disney cruise soon after that,

Well let’s tax them more and stop that. That may we will go into a recession where the less affluent will bear the brunt of it.

          @BobaFuttbucker As do you, it seems 🤭

          Bringing things back to the subject at hand, when it comes to taxing the rich and ultra rich, it might be worth asking if you want the people who are paying your salary to be poorer, and for that money to go to our interest in the national debt instead of to you.

            “No u” is not that sick of a burn, im actually disappointed you couldn’t think of anything else and had to pivot topics.

            The richest can afford to be a little poorer more than the already poor can afford to be a little poorer, especially as the cost of living continues to rise and wages continue to stagnate.

            That’s not my opinion that’s literally how it works. Big pile of money can be used to pay for things more than small pile of money.

              And you think that the rich would just eat extra tax costs rather than do layoffs, even though you think they are greedy?

                I don’t think they will without being required to. But I think they should.
