You think every single person in America should have a big bank account and if they don't, it's their own fault? Let them extract all the money they want out of America because it's a 20 year olds or a struggling single mom's own fault for not saving enough money? That's really your position? |

Dude. Pound sand. I've been there, and done without for my family and kids more than I'd like to admit. Is everyone's current situation entirely their fault, absolutely not. But anyone...and I mean anyone can dig their way out in our current system. I get that our system can't function without winners and losers, but in my humble opinion the difference between being a have and a have not is all about choices in the vast majority of situations. |

![]() Since the poor dont pay imto the federal coffers how is it givimg money from the poor to the wealthy.
What you are sayi g is to use the government to redistribute wealth fro the wealthy to the poor to close the wealth gap. I thik its better to get the goverment off peoples backs ad the backs of compaies ad let the hard working people close the gap o their own.

Why not have zero taxes? That would be great wouldn't it? I'm sure society would work like a well oiled machine. No roads, no police, no firemen, no public schools. Just a world run by the greediest people in the world who take as much as they can because they can. Sounds like Utopia. You wonder why there are people too lazy work and don't want to contribute? Because collectively America has a "Fuck you, I got mine" mentality. That goes from the wealthiest, greediest, asshole guy all the way at the top, to the poor, able bodied, excuse making free loader all the way at the bottom. I got mine, fuck everyone else. Quote:
I think it's better if we don't allow corporate and special interests to dictate how our government runs and create schemes to steal all of our money. Still waiting for all that wealth to trickle down. Annnnnytime now. |

That federal income tax money was confiscated by the government from the upper 50%, so it didn't come from everybody. Most people in the upper 50% did a lot of work and made a lot of sacrifices to get there that those who are in the bottom 50% didn't do or make. What is the morality in someone who works 40hrs/wk while going to school to earn a degree. Then works their way up the company ranks holding off on a family until they have established themselves securely in a 6 figure job. Taking that persons money and giving it to someone who. Never had the initiative to work a 40hr/wk, get an education but chose to have a child out of wedlock?

I don't ask for handouts, I hate asking for ANY kind of help because I was made to feel like a burden and ashamed of it, like it made me weak. But you know what? Sometimes people need help and they shouldn't be ashamed of asking for it from selfish cock suckers who can only see life from their own point of view and can't understand the horrible shit some people go through in their lives through no fault of their own that completely warps their ability to function in life. How about we figure out how to help these people instead of ridiculing them because that obviously isn't fixing the issue. Almost seems like conservatives don't really want to fix the issue because these people are one more group they can look down on and feel better than while scapegoating them for all the problems in the country. Speaking as someone who works 40 hours a week, was homeless and never took government money, if my tax dollars can help someone who really needs it, that makes me feel good. I'm glad I can help someone out. As far as it going to "freeloaders"? I feel sorry for them. Their lives aren't this "welfare queen" life of luxury you guys seem to think it is. These people need therapy, life skills, social skills, work skills. How do you think someone like that gets created and molded? You think these people are happy? You think they want to be miserable free loaders with no future? |

Believe it or not, many are happy just existing on other peoples money. Most people with a good work ethic and initiative do what you did and improve their situation. About that $$ figure to cap every ones income, $200K? Once you put a figure out there, people making less will say it's to much, people making more will say it's not enough. Let the free market decide what people are worth.

![]() I will say this, the income gap is mildly concerning to me. I’m not sure what the solution is, but when it stretches to extremes, it will inevitably lead to some inequalities which in turn, could have dire consequences.
I think there are probably a lot of minor things that could be tweaked (mostly taxes and SS) that could/should be altered. SS should give people some peace of mind for retirement. And in its current state, it doesn’t. |

I don't like what we're putting into place in Arizona, which is targeting those that make $250k individual/500k couple... and doubling their income tax state-wide... and taking those funds for schools. Everyone should pay into schools, and you can adjust rates up... but it feels too directly robbing from the rich to fix budgeting issues and school shortages.

Funny you should mention (Dems) and handout since the Red states (GOP) are the ones who take the most handouts. Bunch of freeloading pieces of shit if you ask me. Am I doing this right? http://www.businessinsider.com/red-s...ernment-2015-7 Quote:

Why don't you start considering yourself blessed to have what you have instead of thinking you simply earned it all yourself. You didn't. You got the luck of the draw in some way shape or form to be where you are at. I'm sure you work hard and you've overcame your own hardships and I'm not minimizing those whatsoever but you could have been born to a drug addicted single mom who sold her pussy to get high. You could have been born in a million other situations where you would have turned out just like these people you're judging. But you didn't and you're lucky for it. Just like I'm lucky that I was born with some sort innate intelligence and sense of what's right and wrong or else I could be on a very different path morally right now and I'd probably be in prison.

Is it really the "free market" though? Is Trump attacking businesses an example of free markets? The powers at be manipulate what they want to manipulate then have the nerve to spew this "free market" bullshit and you conservatives eat that shit right up. It's a fantasy world, just like communism is a fantasy world. Stop acting like these GOP government talking points are a religion. Trickledown economics is bullshit. Raising taxes on the rich doesn't hurt the economy. They are selling you lies and you eat it up because it feeds your narcissism. You get to feel superior to the libs who want socialism and not to pull their own weight. You say you believe in small government, less taxes and free markets yet you vote for Republicans who spend like crazy, allow business interests to eclipse the interests of the people and you voted for a President who continually sticks his nose into the affairs of private businesses and picks winners and losers. You seem to be ok with idea that of the whole economic system collapsing because you don't like "freeloaders". You've been brainwashed into voting against your own interests and the interests of America itself in the name of "personal responsibility". Which is just projection because the conservatives who espouse that idea the most, never take responsibility for anything. They blame EVERYONE but themselves and the Republicans. It's always Hillary, Obama, liberals, poor people, illegals, black people and Muslims.The entire GOP is just reaction formation. They espouse to be everything that they really are not. Christian, conservative, family values. Patriotic and supportive of the military. All bullshit. Trump is true embodiment of his supporters beliefs and he is exposing them all for who they really are. The only ones who can't see it are his supporters because they are blind to themselves. Employing defense mechanism after defense mechanism so they never have to face the reality of their actions and who they really are. It's always finger pointing at the other. Well guess what, that "other", is really you. Last edited by Oblique; 2018-07-13 at 12:09 PM.. |
