Do You Want Higher Taxes?

the top 2 percent are paying more income tax than any other group of the similar number of people so you are completely totally and thoroughly dishonest

and your juvenile attempts to copy my posts and respam them is childish

The top 2% are not paying their share of taxes. They are the biggest recipients of govt welfare, without which they'd be poor.

stop the lying
 
There's more to the obscene bonuses and salary the rich are getting. We don't have to pass a law limiting pay; just pass a law so that the corporate committees that decide the pay and bonuses aren't loaded with the executives friends.

Can you define friend? Then differentiate between that and an acquaintance? Maybe they could never have met before even though they both work in the same industry and are high level executives. Do they have to prove that or just say it's so? Meh no bloated bureaucracy here. Move along. :roll:

For the rich, a "friend" is anyone who can help them steal more money from the middle class.

Really? I thought the the top 2% had almost ALL the wealth in this country and by default paid an overwhelming majority of the taxes.

They have most of the wealth, and they want it all.

And they don't pay a majority of taxes
 
Tell me which word you didn't understand.

I understand completely. you said "For the rich, a "friend" is anyone who can help them steal more money from the middle class."

The government taxes the people and the subsidizes big business. Oil subsidies, bank bailouts, any of these ring a bell? Not to mention it's borrowed money and We the People get to pay the interest! What...A... DEAL!
 
Hong Kong is not a free market, not by any stretch of the imagination

Let us know when you can come up with an example of a free market that has lifted its' people up from poverty. "Closest to a free market" does not mean "A free market"

Remind me why I have to give you an example of a country that has been completely free market. I gave example of technological advancements that took place in the free market. A country can have a mixed economy and still have advancements thanks to the free market. I listed examples a few posts ago.

Btw do you realize you don't refute anything with evidence? If you have proof Hong Kong "isn't a free market by any stretch of the imagination", feel free to post it...

Your subjective opinion. Sake of argument, I say yes they do.

They are the biggest recipients of govt welfare, without which they'd be poor.

Yet another example of the inefficiency and corruption inherent in government redistributing for half-baked notions of fairness.

For the rich, a "friend" is anyone who can help them steal more money from the middle class.

This sweeping generalization reveals your flagrant class-based hate.

Because you claim that a free market exists. The free market is a rightwing scam invented by the rich to dupe the wingnuts who support them.

And mixed economies are not free markets. You dont seem to even know what the term means. Hong Kong subsidizes its tech industry

More like another example of how the wealthy steal from the working class.

your sweeping generalization reveals your flagrant class-based bias.
 
Wrong again. They do not pay taxes in proportion to their income

You switched arguements. Which are you going to argue? That they don't pay the majority of taxes or that they don't pay the highest percentage of their income?

I didn't switch anything. Which is why you won't quote me to show that I've switched.

My niece likes to engage in this type of behavior, repeating everything I say.
