First our federal tax rate will double, so you’ll have less spending money. A couple of lines from the socialism deal: *
1. “upgrading all existing buildings in the United States and building new buildings to achieve maximal energy efficiency”, telling every home, property owner to spend your own money to meet the new costly requirements. The cost of solar power for your house or property would be? Could you afford that today?
2. “overhauling transportation systems in the United States to eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector as much as is technologically feasible, including through investment in—
(i) zero-emission vehicle infrastructure and manufacturing;
(ii) clean, affordable, and accessible public transportation; and
(iii) high-speed rail”. The cost to replace our national transportation system? Telling us what type of vehicle to purchase and drive would cost me how much?
3. “spurring massive growth in clean manufacturing in the United States and removing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and industry as much as is technologically feasible, including by expanding renewable energy manufacturing and investing in existing manufacturing and industry“. The cost to these companies to upgrade their emissions system that meets today’s standards to the new standards would cost the consumer how much more? To expand energy manufacturing and investing to upgrade existing systems would cost these companies and federal government how much? The companies will transfer the cost to us the consumer?
4. “(ii) by investing in sustainable farming and land use practices that increase soil health; and
(iii) by building a more sustainable food system that ensures universal access to healthy food“. By investing they mean our tax dollars, how much? Government will decide what land use practices will increase soil health not the family farmer whose been doing for decades. Telling the farmers what to do?
5. “mitigating and managing the long-term adverse health, economic, and other effects of pollution and climate change, including by providing funding for community-defined projects and strategies‘. Mitigating and managing means they rule over us. Providing funding for community, federal taxes again? How many communities to find?
6. “providing and leveraging, in a way that ensures that the public receives appropriate ownership stakes and returns on investment‘. Everyone gets there fair share, is this the great battle cry of socialism”. If a national vote was today? YES or NO?

Pretty sure my landlord is a millionaire, so that wouldn't affect me. That's not to say I support this or that I wish for any private property owner to have to go through that. It just wouldn't come out of my own pocket immediately.
Remove niggers from the equation, and we already have that. I refuse to ever ride the Metro for that reason. They tend to be loud, filthy, and potentially dangerous.
Like alternating plots between crops and pasture does? Farming in the US is fucked right now precisely because the government has told them what to do. Did you know China gets most of its soy from us? Most of the corn is grown to be feed corn for our food animals. What a waste of a field. The wild plants which would grow there otherwise are much better feed. Skip the middle man, corn. Some of it is for ethanol, which is alright with me. It's a decent fuel for the engines which support it.
Sounds like a noble cause. I'm not a fan of pollution either. But how will it be implemented? We all know how it will be enforced, but it's the implementation that is important. Otherwise this line is just farting rainbows, a midweek meeting about synergy, a pipedream, or worse and most probably, a conduit for justifying legislature with a different agenda.
No.

Yes our government has flaws, if your landlord has to pay more, your rent goes up. Refuse to ride does not mean you won’t pay more required taxes to support our new green transportation requirements, every vehicle not electoral will need to be replaced, “mine, yours taxes pay for this. What a waste of fields to grow food for our food animals, I love beef, pork, chicken and salad. We all consume food. MAGA

Ditto, brother. I'm all for less taxes, less intervention, more freedom, and better food.

Didn't read your wall of text because your prompt is obvious. And I hate to break it you, but we already have forced (i.e., involuntary) re-distribution of wealth by way of funding social welfare programs through tax revenue. The vast majority of taxes are paid for by whites, kikes, and asians and the vast majority of welfare recipients are browns, muds, and scarves (across the board in western nations).
You best start believing in socialism - you're living it.

I understand your opinion, 40% of our population don’t even pay taxes. Who they are? Tax money is being abused by many different people, programs. Trump’s next 6yrs I hope will correct the abuse.

Of course it won’t, they are taking small steps of socialism to normalize the conversation. Setting it up for years to come. A form of indoctrination.

This. Dems have been playing this game for years- they have a radical take the most extreme position possible, then they come in and offer a "compromise" which moves everything further to the left, shifting the Overton Window for future generations.

The new green deal as you describe it isn't even getting traction among democrats
