How much do you know about lightning?
"Its a big country, we have 300M people and every day one of them is struck by lightning but only one in 5 of those people is killed.
"We generate about 240 'luckiest people on earth' every year so it shouldnt be too surprising to you that we still generate some winners in the great game of Capitalism, not matter how much the odds are stacked against you..."
All it takes to get rich in this country is the willingness to work for money. I personally chose to work for, and enjoy, other things in life, so I do not begrudge anyone who is put in the effort the fruit of his labor.
Offensive to Goldman Sachs or Ralph Nader?Would it be less so if it applied only to those earning in excess of $50 million per year?A 70% marginal tax rate is brutally egregious.
The richest 10,000 taxpayers?
Phil's Stock World
No. It would still be egregious.
The government should never take that high of your income at any level. It's offensive.
Does your 6 figure chump change ballot effect the same change as Warren Buffett's or the Koch brothers?Do you believe there's a point where concentration of wealth makes "one personne vote" meaningless?
Does every dollar vote? Or does every person?
Because I make 6 figures, is my vote counted more than your minimum wage salary from Burger King?
Idiot

Bill Gates didn't get rich in a vacuum.
He did get rich through exploitation of government's prime directive to socialize cost and privatize profit.

Come on man. I worked my ass off all my life. No one forces anyone to work at anything they did not want to.

"Poor house?" He's talking about people who could buy you and sell you at a net loss seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, and not move a decimal point in their holdings.That's because they're being taxed into the poor house, asswipe."The vast middle class no longer has the purchasing power to keep the economy going. (The rich spend a much lower portion of their incomes.)

And unless you're sitting on at least ten million dollars these are people who regard you as something along the lines of a cockroach. Yet you're an apologist for them.
One person; one vote becomes meaningless when big money vets the candidates before you and I cast our ballots. When parasites like Buffett or the Koch brothers choose which candidates you or I are allowed to vote for, your six figure income and my $600/month SSA check have exactly the same chance of changing anything fundamental about how the rich rule in the "Land of the Free."Does your 6 figure chump change ballot effect the same change as Warren Buffett's or the Koch brothers?Does every dollar vote?

I will ask the same questions again that relate to your assertion... you fucking idiot
Does every dollar vote? Or does every person?
Because I make 6 figures, is my vote counted more than your minimum wage salary from Burger King?
What my money buys or 'changes' in the private sector where my money is spent is not pertinent to your assertion
Absolutely.Do you believe there's a point where concentration of wealth makes "one person
Do you think Obama bought the election?

The government subsidized Microsoft? When did they do that, before or after the bogus anti trust lawsuit?

There's also the tax bias favoring debt over equity investing that both Republicans AND Democrats in DC have been inflicting on this country since the mid 70s.
Bill is a real smart guy; however, had he tried to start Microsoft as a non-profit, I'm not sure Wall Street would have responded as positively to his genius.
I dunno about you, but I sure am enjoying all this $1.25/gallon gas we're making with the Iraqi oil we took over.Are you suggesting those serving the Empire in Afghanistan and Iraq volunteer their time or should we send the bill for their service to BIGOIL?Indeed. I like pointing out to those who demonize BIGOIL that government makes more money on a gallon of gas than BIGOIL does.I find it down right embarrassing that We, The People collect taxes on a retail level - Imagine how much money we'd save on the IRS bureaucracy alone if we instead collected on the wholesale level.
How about the US Sixth Fleet?
Shell or Exxon-Mobile?
I don't think requiring the rich to pay the same percentage of their income in taxes as their secretaries and cooks will add another third of the workforce to the unemployment line.Two-thirds of all jobs in the US are created AND destroyed by small businesses.
No rich people needed.
So you want to add another third of the work force to the unemployment line?
Do you?
