With only around 500 billionaires in the country

[Rustic]

Why are the expected to carry the weight of the other 300 million?

They aren't. The millionaires are as well. . Oh and why? Because they pay such low wages that the 300 million need welfare to get buy. Pay more in wages or pay more in taxes.

Robin Hood never worked

Socialism works and we have the "richest poor" in the world, to prove it.

Still missing the point or are you just a lousy capitalist who doesn't understand the concept of leverage.

Oh, I don't? Then why not treat us to a few scenarios of this leverage you speak of?

Is one percent of the People owning ninety percent of the wealth, not self-evident enough for the right?

What does that have to do with leverage? If you want to talk about leverage, the top 10% of wage earners in this country pay over 70% of all federal income taxes collected while the bottom 47% pay absolutely nothing.

And that is a problem why? The job creators aren't creating enough well payng jobs. Since they aren't they should expect to pay taxes.

Wait a minute, can you tell me where it's written that "job creators" are obligated to us to create X amount of jobs? Do you think that's why people open up businesses; so that you and I have a job with a livable wage?

I simply can't understand how you people think. You don't see how ridiculous that is. That's like saying if you make over 50K a year, you are obligated to get married and have a family, or you are obligated to decorate your house at Christmas time and Halloween. And if you don't, you should pay a higher tax.
.

I can. Only the right appeals to ignorance of the capital gains distinction, for full employment purposes.

It is why some on the believe the capital gains distinction should end for firms having unfilled positions for more than a quarter.

No, not really. There is alway the nagging reality of giant fiscal gaps with their government debt and deficit just like us. If country has any debt at all they are already a failure till get out of debt.
Their citizens are taxed so much that they're stupid.

So, no, there is no such thing as a successful socialist/communist government in all of history. By the way: socialism and communism are the same thing... Just spelled differently.

You really don't know what you are talking about.

In a way, communism is an extreme form of socialism. Many countries have dominant socialist political parties but very few are truly communist. In fact, most countries - including staunch capitalist bastions like the U.S. and U.K. - have government programs that borrow from socialist principles. "Socialism" is sometimes used interchangeably with "communism" but the two philosophies have some stark differences. Most notably, while communism is a political system, socialism is primarily an economic system that can exist in various forms under a wide range of political systems.

Wow! You're just chock full of Hannity bites aren't you?
Try paying taxes when you're bringing home 15K/year.
How about that comment of yours that money is unlimited?
Didn't work out too well for pre-WWII Germany, did it?

So I sound like Hannity? I don't know. I don't watch or listen to him, but I'll take it as a compliment.

Sure people making 15K a year should pay something in income tax; we all should. If everybody had a dog in the fight, maybe more people would pay attention as to how our government wastes money.

That's pretty stupid. So they should pay taxes just to collect it back in welfare. Real efficient. You must love big government.

No, I don't like big government, I like everybody being treated the same in this country. Democrats love to divide people into groups, and then decide which groups they hate and which groups they favor.

Businesses open up for one reason, and that is to make a profit. In order to do that, most businesses hire help. They offer jobs and you either accept the job or you don't, but it's not a social obligation on the part of business.

If you don't possess a skill or trade that is worth the pay you want or need, that's not businesses fault, it's yours. It's up to you to make yourself worth more money.

Somebody has to pay and you can't squeeze water from a rock. Create more good paying jobs and more people can pay.

Plenty of decent paying jobs out there, but Americans don't want them. They want their Obama Phone, their SNAP's cards, their Obama Care. Why work?

Only the right is disingenuous enough to appeal to ignorance regarding capital and its influence under any form of capitalism.

And, the right's class warfare is showing whenever they complain about the least wealthy not having to lobby Congress for a tax loophole large enough to drive a yacht through.

The right is driving class warfare? What about the left? Watch the Democrat debates coming up and tell me if you don't see them launch an attack on the wealthy in this country. They do it in nearly every debate. You know, those evil rich people that are hoarding all that money so you don't get any? Watch and see for yourself.

So whatever one side does gives the other side the right to be overtly stupid also?

No, just pointing out to you that it's the left that drives class warfare--not the right.

 

[Kosh]

Why are the expected to carry the weight of the other 300 million?

Why do you give a fuck about the problems of billionaires? As far as I am concerned they can take their precious money and take a hike if they feel that having full access to a compliant government in the best country in the world to be wealthy is just too expensive.

Notice how the far left mantra of "equality" does not apply here.

Socialism doesn't work anywhere, anytime. The only thing that works is capitalism, which in this world is always hobbled to one degree or another by socialism.
