A tax analogy, who's really paying their fair share?

then he goes on to talk about killing the poor and killing anyone who wants to support the poor in an organized fashion.

i mean, i could understand voting against helping the poor schemes i disagree with, but to kill the people who support them and benefit from them "righteously"?

that kid is psycho and needs major help.

And your taxes were wrong from your original claim.

Explain to me how you didn't get called out. LOL.

sorry i proved all of you wrong after laying a days in the making trap, just gonna have to expect those from me. i lay traps all the time.

And I call people who want a health care mandates worked into the taxes, moochers. What's your point? It's not a logical one...

As long as the government uses illegal taxes to steal from me, I'll steal right back.

His idea was to replace these government programs with a guaranteed minimum income system, funded with a negative income tax. Yes, wealth redistribution... the father of conservative economics is a socialist!!!!

Not sure what you're getting at.

A guaranteed minimum income system is what a large percentage of this country is running on now, and that's why this country is going to financially collapse.

Taking from some to give to all never makes sense, regardless of the angle you approach it from.

If you are actually asking that question with seriousness, you're so far out of it, it's just not funny.

No, I really do not understand how in a Real Democracy, not this sham of a nation but you all seem to believe the illusion so in a nation that has a habit of bringing Democracy to the rest of the world how taxes decided upon by a majority would be theft of the minority in opposition.

The minimum wage you are referring to is set and controlled by Big Corp in the interest of Big Corp. He is referring to a completely different system in which the minimum wage would be set in the interest of the society -details you know?

Also, taking from some to give to all doesn't make any sense if there is an even or somewhat even distribution of wealth. In a society where 20% of the people control 85% of the wealth- well actually That doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense to Me at all! That means the huge majority of the society, 4/5 of the population only controls 1/5 of that society's wealth. How could that happen in a society that boasts equal opportunity? Make some sense of it for me, could you?
