Good one !
So, if someone deserves to earn 1000 times more than you, then he also deserves only to pay 100 times more taxes then you, right ?


Klein,

You spend 60 hours , 7 days a week selling hotdogs.

I do not work at all, I rob, collect social benefits have sex and take drugs all day.

You make 1000 times more than me.
You should pay 100 times more than me.

You convinced me --this is a great world.:happy-very: 100 times more is not enough. You should pay 500 times more. ???????

Sure is odd the GOP supporters always compare their wages with people living on no wages or welfare.

Why not compare them with people you actually worked with - all those pre-loaders that work pt and most times 2 jobs to make ends meet ?
They deserve to pay a higher percentage of taxes then the rich, too, right ?

If I ruled the world things would be different! In the mean time I just go with the flow and shake my head in amazement over what goes on around me. Thank goodness for alcohol!

Poor poor Klein, why is it that you ignore that most of the "GOP supporters" on this forum have said over and over, that the *tax loop holes* need to be plugged ? Tell me why Klein, I want to know TELL ME.....RIGHT NOW!

Which tax loop holes do you have in mind ? I haven't heard 1 single example, yet.
So you're a cripple and can't Yahoo ???



"A tax loophole is an exploitation of a tax law which can reduce or eliminate the tax liabilities of the filer. Quite often the original wording of a tax break is used to justify the use of a tax loophole. Several years ago, for example, a substantial tax break was offered to small companies who invested in SUVs and other heavy vehicles for their transportation fleets. Because the tax law allowed for 50% personal use, small business owners could upgrade their own personal vehicles to SUVs and still receive a tax credit. This exemplifies a tax loophole -- the original intent is not illegal, but the definition can be exploited for personal gain."

Klein,

Let me try this again. Equal opportunity not equal results.

You work 80 hours per week selling hotdogs to provide for yourself plus to take advantage of some of the finer things in life such as the great vacations you always speak of. You do not work harder and longer to pay higher taxes for the lazy hamburger seller.

The hamburger man living in the same "system" as you works only twenty to thirty hours five days a week. He complains that you do not pay your share--in the real world-- REALITY --you pay much more than him for your hard work.

The hamburger man claims you are "rich" and have taken advantage of the system. He believes that before you go on any more vacations you must pay for his vacation because he cannot afford to becuse he has seven children from three different women.
It is your duty to work harder-educate my children,pay for their healthcare and pay for their food stamps.

On top of you working longer,working harder, paying the most in real dollars to the government ---you are not thanked by the hamburger man --he has contempt for you ==you are an evil ,greedy ,not paying your share person.

That is what we have come to today. In the U.S. there is now a battle to provide school children with dinner as well as lunch.

1. I do not have children
2. My taxes already pay for their education
3. My taxes already pay for their free lunch
4. My taxes already pay for their housing
5. My taxes already pay for their food stamps --b'fast lunch and dinner

Now I must pay for a Second Dinner --or its my fault that the food stamps were used for drugs or gambling ???

"Tax the rich? Taxes are usually how they got rich -- or did you forget this is all about how they own the government in the first place? Abolish the state. It's the only way."

I'll give you a contra example :

I live in a small town, everyone works and most people have their own small business.
I earn my money selling hotdogs 7 days a week, others have a motel, restaurant, hardware store, grocery store, showmaker, you name it, everything a town should have.
The local farmers even sell their produce and meats at the weekend fair.
Most local kids already have their future planned , which is to take over the family business that has been around for many generations.

However, things turn around dramatically when Big Wall Street moves in.
Walmart, Safeway(windixee or whatever), Home depot, Mac Donalds, Super 6 Motels (hotels), etc move in.

Mama & Papa shops go out of business that were actually good money makers in the past.
Mama & Papa are also forced to work for Wally or Ronny at minimum wages now.
Their kids have little future ahead, they'll need to move or work for miminum wage themselves for Big Wall Street.
The farmers are forced to sell most of their goods, for far less, to the big chains, because they can't compete at the weekend market with those new low grocery prices.

The town that once flourished is no more. The dollars that the town did once accumulate all goes to the big corperations and their shareholders.
It's literally being sypfoned away.

Big Corps (like Godfather Cain) tells the towns people, it's our fault we didn't work harder to get where we wanted to be.

Now take this to the national level - that's exactly the problem countries like the US have. The money is mostly gone from all the "towns people" (citizens), therefor big corps (Big Wall Street) is heading overseas to get more.
In all honestly how many more TV's can someone sell in the US when there are already more TV's then rooms per house ?

Anyways we know the outcome : Big Corps sitting on trillions of dollars, while the average folk is living from paycheck to paycheck - that's if they even get one with no jobs around , nor any in sight.

Those millionaires sure balked when they were given a chance to actually donate to the gov't. Backpedaling much!! They wouldn't put their 'money where their mouth is'.

Klein,
Why don't we go back to living in caves and teepees ?
Hard work is punished bottom line.

If you want to go back to the very early years of the pilgrims in North America---John Brantford the first year suggested that all work together to build and create food to feed the people.
Same system,same opportunity --many worked very hard --some hardly worked--that was the first shot at failed socialism.

This is a cafe associated with the LARGEST transportation Corporation in the world -----well over 100 years people have been employed with great salaries and benefits that mom and pop delivery services could never give them. Should we get rid of UPS and expect the local truck driver to supply jobs,benefits and opportunities ??
