I favor a flat tax where corporations pay the same rate as individuals but the argument cited by the OP never impressed me. The fallacy I see is that it's based on "taxable income". With thousand upon thousand pages of tax code defining what is determined to be taxable income, I have no confidence in the basis of the derived percentages.
Apparently, everyone you know is stupid, irresponsible or both.Apparently everyone you know is pretty fucking well off.
Because they choose to do soThe majority of people spend all of their income
Biden doesn't "CONFLATE"! Individual and corporations are in the top 10% of taxpayers. REGARDLESS.You are conflating individual taxpayers with corporations.
No that's you ignorant biased communist supporters attitude.The Golden Rule
He who has the Gold, makes the rules
Because they have to EATApparently, everyone you know is stupid, irresponsible or both.
Because they choose to do so
There is no way a Bank can continue to gives loans without new money coming in from deposits.The problem for you is that I can do math. There is no way Social Security ban pay current beneficiaries without new revenues from current payors into the system. Ergo - ponzi scheme.
The rest are receiving disability payments of some sort.Are you under the impression that the only people receiving Social Security are from 65 to 90 years old?
Hmmm, wrong. When someone deposits their money in the bank, it then can loan it out. However, a bank loans out your money, which creates obligations like mortgages which are claims on tangible property, To pay back your money, the bank can sell the mortgages to get cash to pay what you deposited. A Ponzi scheme doesn't use your money to buy tangible assets. It simply spends the money you have deposited. There's no way to get any money to return what you have deposited other than new deposits from fresh suckers.There is no way a Bank can continue to gives loans without new money coming in from deposits.
Therefore, by your reasoning, Banks are just a Huge Ponzi Scheme.
My goodness dude.
Think before you type.
I see you are stuck on stupid again.Everything you posted is perfectly consistent with a Ponzi scheme.
What does that have to do with percentages? Why would you expect a lower percentage than anyone else? I thought you retards were all about "paying your fair share". What happened to your principles?Easy Peasy

Here's the difference: It's theoretically possible for all the depoistors of a bank to get their money out. In fact, it's highly likely. In the case of a Ponzi scheme, on the other hand, it's impossible for everyone to get their money out. The people running the Ponzi scheme have already spent most of it, with nothing to back it up. And that's what SS has to back up its obligations: nothing.I see you are stuck on stupid again.
If people rushed to the bank to get their money, which I hope never happens, then that bank would NOT have the funds available to give EVERY depositor their money.
Quit being an Asshole.
You are wrong, but most RWI's can never admit they are wrong.
WTF?The people running the Ponzi scheme have already spent most of it, with nothing to back it up.
Kind of like Social SecurityHmmm, wrong. When someone deposits their money in the bank, it then can loan it out. However, a bank loans out your money, which creates obligations like mortgages which are claims on tangible property, To pay back your money, the bank can sell the mortgages to get cash to pay what you deposited. A Ponzi scheme doesn't use your money to buy tangible assets. It simply spends the money you have deposited. There's no way to get any money to return what you have deposited other than new deposits from fresh suckers.
The main point here is that a bank has funds to repay your deposits. A Ponzi scheme doesn't. And that means the bank can pay back all the people who deposited money, not just the initial set of "investors."
Yeah to the tune of multiple billions a year. If we're going to keep this system in place where SS Disability is a thing; we need to actually fund SS.The rest are receiving disability payments of some sort.
It happens to do with the wealthy being more capable of paying a higher tax rate than poor peopleWhat does that have to do with percentages? Why would you expect a lower percentage than anyone else? I thought you retards were all about "paying your fair share". What happened to your principles?

Conservatives look at Social Security as some type of savings accountThe rest are receiving disability payments of some sort.
