[QUOTE="texan, post: 1120914, member: 38206"] [B]And if you were born in 1844, and were 20 years old in 1864, and an anti enterpreneur / socialist level playing field / Anti rich / it is not fair type person, you would have stopped Andrew Carnegie from investing 40,000 dollars in Story Farm to keep him from earning over 1,000,000 million from his investment. In one year, the farm yielded over $1,000,000 in cash([SIZE=1]how horrible[/SIZE]) dividends, and petroleum from oil wells on the property sold profitably. He took that money and made Pittsburg, The Steel of the US, the Steelworkers, and the rest is history. [/B][B]Carnegie believed in using his fortune for others and doing more than making money. He wrote:[/B][INDENT][B]I propose to take an income no greater than $50,000 per annum! Beyond this I need ever earn, make no effort to increase my fortune, but spend the surplus each year for benevolent purposes! Let us cast aside business forever, except for others. [COLOR=#800000][U]Have you ever been to Pittsburg and seen what he gave and built? [/U][/COLOR] How MANY were paid and substained familys with his money and investments? Sigh......... [/B] [/INDENT] [B] You would have stopped him from this as it was not fair and he did not pay his fair share and "hid it" by using the current laws in 1864-1900. By the way, if one has a 789,674 dollar income for a year, what should the per cent be? 18 % or more? If more than 18.4% please go to this web site below and share this. This is the gross income of the President and his wife and their 2012 taxes and they pay 18.4% [URL]http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/submit-questions-and-comments[/URL] [/B] [/QUOTE]
