Rich people buy stuff through there business accounts and write it off on their business's and take it home and use it. At least the poor man's deductions are for something that is needed to feed, house, and clothe their family. What exactly is equal about a rich business man getting to write off a 10,000 massage chair?
The problem here is that you must establish an Equality Bureaucracy to determine what is fair and what is not. Next step, you will determine that it is right to set wages and prices. Smacks of communism, imo.

Mind pointing out where the Constitution allows for 20 year corporate charters? Also, where is it written that "Corporations were meant to have endings, they were started to fill needs, and ended" ??
Mind learning history?
states were in charge of this, you know the whole republic thing.
I don't want to read an entire history book. I want you to show me where the US Constitution declares that corporations shall live for 20 years. I want you to show me where the US Constitution outlines which "needs" were valid for corps to fill, and where corps would be formally "ended".
Show me that. And a fallback onto "states rights" is not acceptable.edit on 3-10-2011 by mishigas because: (no reason given)
current potus and others who have sponsored and financed that good little wall street protest.
Same question as before.....got some proof?
the ideology that is flowing through the streets right now and for the past week is more of the same and largely influenced by obama and his supporters to change the narrative of failing policies and failure of leadership and failed idealism.
What does this even mean? Are you talking about "rap", as in a rapper? If so, I think we can assume a lot about why you would say such a thing.
so here comes the wall street protesters just a slightly hipper rap
That quote was made by Rahm Emmanuel. Not Obama. RE was pushed out of the White House because he was too extreme when compared to Obama's "agenda". This is quite disingenuous.
where we go from here expect obama to never let a "good crisis" go to waste
my fellow americans you are so damn seriously gullable

I dont really care what you want. You need to read the sentence and process it, former and latter is to be assumed. Don't get mad at me because you failed reading comprehension.
(constitution AND the republic) Not And/or not US constitution.
Are you denying that corporate charters were corrupted, giving rise to the possibility of super corporations?
This is historical fact, and I also mentioned the court case used to corrupt the charters. What else do you need to understand, they lost the revolution, then convinced Americans and YOU they are the good guys.edit on 3-10-2011 by no time because: (no reason given)

Obama is the biggest hypocrite of all time. While he is raking in the millions, Obama is telling everyone that capitalism and corporations are horrible.

So basically you've been brainwashed by years and years of "trickle down economics" bull#, which is proven not to work, and the baseless brainwashing that anything involving regulation, government intervention or more taxes for the rich and powerful, who can afford it, is "evil communism" and now you're mad that you're even hearing opposing views? Pretty pathetic.
Obama might be a bull#ter and have no real intention of helping the lower/middle class but that doesn't make the actual argument invalid or "communism". You clearly don't know what communism is and are also too brain washed to think that there aren't some good parts to almost all political philosophies. We should take the best parts of all instead of just label stuff "evil communism/socialism" and brush it off like fox news.edit on 3-10-2011 by darkest4 because: (no reason given)

Just so we can all enjoy a little intellectual honesty about this topic:
"Contrary to general assumptions, low and middle income earners do not pay the bulk of federal income taxes in America. Because our income tax system is progressive, high income earners automatically pay a higher percentage of taxes on their already higher incomes. This has led to a scenario where the top 1% of income earners (and incoming earning couples) now pay more income taxes than the bottom 95% combined. While arguments can be made one way or the other about who should pay more or less, who does pay more or less is a subject about which there can be no confusion."

Such posts!
Neo correctly points out that there is divisiveness, a class warfare that the president is encouraging, and look!
The Obama defenders dig trenches, blame banks and the wealthy, and volley insults that would put poo-flinging monkeys to shame.
Want change? Change the law makers. This anger at people who work hard and succeed is what the socialist/income distribution folks want.

They don't need to work hard, these folks do their work for free.
Some work hard but many benefit from corruption.
