You do realize the main reason this system is broken is due to the excess granted the entities you defend? Yes tax the rich at a rate used during the last big financial crisis they created. I think it was around 90% back in the times of the great depression.Then run all their lobbyists out of Wash and elect some people who can pass a constitution test like I did to get through 8th grade. If we did this and then gave tax incentive for domestic job creation with wages that helped recreate the middle class, this country would turn around. Will this happen? No way. The rich and their flunkies have sold the idea they are necessary, much like the fuedal lords did to the serf population.Only once the lords greed has robbed the peons of their daily bread will they throw this yoke off and willingly step into a new one. History does repeat and in general does not lie.

thought it was a great comparison which people should have been on board with.

simple fact the lottery isnt money earned or the more they receive from taxing other people

this thread went the way i expected it too decades of communist and socialist programming cant be broken through in one thread.

people really do need to look up communism and marxism

You need to look into modern economics and corporate law before you post over your head. Some basic Political science would do you wonders also. In all you are the perfect serf for the new corporate feudal lords. Defend the Lord as from him comes my existance. All who question his take of the crops are treasonous and a burden on the good lord. In all quite entertaining if it was not for the fact there are many like you.

That is the thing about the internet that is so wonderful. Folks who believe they are Billionaires using abstruse analogy to defend an indefensible position.Just one for you to try out.Tell me how a CEO has earned a bonus which totals more than the labor costs?Give me some billionaire inside info on all the hard work that has gone into that bonus money. On second thought just save it and take some of that billion dollar portfolio and make some jobs like you claim your class does....LMAO

pretty clear that alot of people who have posted in this thread arent job creators.

it is also pretty clear that those who push for higher taxes on the rich really means that small business earning between 100k to 400k gets his taxes raised and his operating costs continue to rise and yep

he has to let people go putting more people out of work who now arent getting paid

fyi other ways to become rich than running a business its called investing that anyone can do

And you are? I am hiring ten people at the end of this month. How about you?

Very clear you yourself havent a clue of how the economics of this issue actually operate, as you spew nonsensical talking points about how we have to allow the very richest of

Why are you pretending that being critical of the tax rates of the top 1% of wealth holders related to that demographic in any way?

What an absolute joke!

Look up marxism? ARE YOU KIDDING?!

NO ONE should be allowed to amass that amount of wealth. The only way that it's possible to have people with such wealth is to have the rest of the people poor. It is also a skewed system. People with more money go to better schools, get better grades, get better degrees and wind up in better jobs, this is a fact. For anyone to argue that a kid from the projects has the same oppurtunities in this system as the son of some uber wealthy banker is delusional, absolutely delusional.

Also what one will notice is that it's mostly who you know these days and connections matter, nepotism, well the guy who goes to the super expensive billionaire school will be making friends with the future CEO of Goldman Sacchs or whatever, another way in which it is skewed.

I have read the entire thread and feel that it is almost as close to trolling as you can get without being explicit about it.

The fact that you even think its okay that 1 per cent controls the majority of the wealth proves that you're not an empathetic person and you are not concerned with the daily struggle of the people oppressed by the psychopathic globalists that you obviously think are just GREAT!

Nobody is talking about small businesses but about billionaires like yourself who admit to no job creation with your money only that you leverage monetary positions. And this creates jobs and promotes the general welfare How? Is it wrong for you to pay handsomely for making money using only the change of hands to profit? Is it not a great idea to tax your selfish arse to death unless you put that money to work in the system?
A logging analogy is appropriate. You cant clear cut and not replant.In fact timber companies are taxed if they dont If you are not ¨replanting¨ you deserve taxing. That is how money stays active in an economy not selfish hording.

yeah you are from the because all those evil rich corporations get alot of stuff from other people.

what people use to called subcontracting which became "outsourcing" every attempt at going after the top has disastrous consequences down the chain.

nothing in this country is made from beginning to end in this country

So, let me get this straight. You personally have stock portfolios worth over 1.4 billion dollars? Or you work in an investment firm that has those portfolios?
