oh, I'm sure certain transplants costs 300k or more.
They shouldn't.

of course they do
they can afford it
it ingratiates them to people like you and it kills off their competition.
but Your idol Buffett has made sure the government won't get any of his estate
why do libs use Buffett as justification to jack up the taxes on those making 200K or more a year?
The only hatred I constantly see comes from the envious who blame the rich on their failure to achieve.
I think you are clueless about me but then again given how short a time you have been here I can understand your confusion.
what hurts the middle class? they pay less taxes than the top 3-5%
Atlanta’s corporate giants pay widely varying tax rates to Uncle Sam under a murky system that allows companies to reap tax benefits from mergers, overseas expansions and other moves.
Some cut their taxes the hard way. Delta Air Lines expects to pay no federal income taxes for several years, it said in regulatory filings, because of tax credits stemming from huge losses in recent years.
But it appears that other highly profitable companies pay federal income taxes significantly below the top corporate income tax rate of 35 percent, regulatory filings indicate. Sometimes, that rate is lower than the typical middle class family. And sometimes, it’s nothing.
Companies don’t disclose what federal income taxes they actually pay, but some tax experts say so-called “current” income tax expenses disclosed in their regulatory filings are a good indicator. Companies also disclose the total of their yearly cash income tax payments to all state, local, foreign and federal jurisdictions where they operate.
A review by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of tax disclosures by five of the largest Atlanta companies showed:
- Coca-Cola’s “current” federal tax expense — not counting “deferred” taxes that might not be paid for decades, if ever — was $470 million last year. That was only 6.5 percent of the $7.2 billion in pre-tax profits that Coca-Cola reported for its U.S. operations in annual disclosures to investors last year. (A Coca-Cola spokesman said the company actually paid federal income taxes “significantly higher” than $470 million last year. It also said its federal tax rate worked out to 38 to 39 percent because its taxable income was lower than the $7.2 billion reported to shareholders, but didn’t release supporting figures.) Story continued. . .
Who cares if the rich get richer?
That's never been a problem in any civilized society. Rich people have money to spend and that grows the economy and that means jobs grow.
What should scare the living **** out of you is when a bunch of self-proclaimed elitists arrogate to themselves the authority and the power to decide who is making too much money and how they should be punished for being successful.
There's not one word in the Constitution of the United States or in the Declaration of Independence that says people who succeed in life should be punished for their success.
People like Warren Buffet? OF COURSE he wants people punished for making too much money. The ranks of millionaires was swelling every year, until Obama, and that meant there were too many nouveau riche moving into his beloved Laguna Beach and taking up the parking at his favorite restaurants. Every REAL American must question the motives of anyone seekin to punish success. Punishing success is unamerican.

Sure if you have a for profit system like America as opposed to private companies running as a non-profit in Japan.
I sense such anger in these posts of yours, why do you think that is?
Your use of vulgar language, highly emotional words, unfounded accusations, popular demoralizing slang, general aggressive attitude etc., it honestly does not make you look very good. I think its that kind of close mindedness that creates problems for our country.
I would really like to know where all this hatred you have is coming from?
I also am wondering why you think anyone who is on welfare must be completely able to work yet does not do so? Has it ever occurred to you that welfare was created for those who have disabilities and or who experience inevitable hardship, who truly need help?
Just a few thoughts.
I am impressed with your ability to pick up on this so quickly. Welcome to the forum! :sun
Japan also makes great cars. I have read that all employees involved in the manufacturing process are paid very well, included in the decision making process and many other way that their employees are treated better. Yet somehow here in the U.S. we seem bent on treating employees like crap and making the decision making process only in the hands of a few ... our cars are also crap ... hmmm .. perhaps we should be taking notes
I am a civil trial attorney, among other things.
assistance? secretary? assistant? Huh?
The U.S. makes some great cars. They are rated right now among the best.
Name a politician who claimed that the successful job creating policy of Ronald Reagan, Supply Side Economics, was a "mistake of the past", and you got yourself an idiot teleprompter reader who's trying to keep people on his plantation.

Right now? Like what years? I ask because in my experience and everyone else I know's experience, U.S. cars aren't that great at all.

From your daily practice here at the Court of Debate Politics, and haven't won a case yet! But to be fair, you do number your personal opinions! That's got to count for something, right? :sun
I am a human being....who believes that all men & women are deserving of certain human rights, political rights, and respect.
do you feel differently?
...and that believes that busineses should be controlled, have no right to decide on how to run their business and have no control on how much to pay their workers.
please do not be dishonest about my views. I never said nor suggested anything like this.
The United States of America has a minimum-wage law. Do you consider this to be Communism?
Communism? Do you understand the term you just used?
No, but I do find it breach in rights and harmful to minorities and the poor.
No, but I do find it breach in rights and harmful to minorities and the poor...
on the contrary, minimum-wage laws PROTECT the poor and minorities.
do you think employers should be able to pay their workers $1.00 an hour for a 40 hour work-week, in the USA?
Yeah you and the other welfare socialists are the winners. That is why you do so well without government taking care of you

No, it cuts the minorities out of the picture even more than they already are due to putting due to lack of skills that are at the moment far superior in whites. If it wasn't there these people would just get hired at lower rates due to less qualifications instead of just not getting the job.
What is the value of a ten dollars if it buys what a $1.00 bought before it took place?
Isn't it great how, even with their far superior skills, the white capitalists require the subsidization of massive bailouts to stay in business?
