Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays

RACE was introduced in this thread by Turtle. That is a fact. Of course a fellow warrior of the libertarian right will be excused as he prostrates himself before the same altar worshipping the same gods and guzzling the same kool-aid.

He did with no race insinuation. And YOU SIR played the card...CLASSIC...your initials wouldn't be Eric Holder would they???

:ssst:

You would not know a race card if an entire deck of them fell upon you. I played no race card and I challenge and defy you to show where I did.

Go back and see who introduced RACE into this discussion of taxation. But since it was one of your fellow Right Libertarians you play ostrich, hide your head in the sand, and pretend otherwise preferring to attack me when I said it had no place here.

Why can't you be honest and recognize that it was Turtle who introduced race where it had no place?
 
Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays

Don't feel bad Turtle. Earlier I was accused of 'attempting to play God' and 'social engineer' for no unsubstantiated reason...musta got up 'crabby' from napping during the Florida debate (which I have NO IDEA why he would watch)...:lamo
 
Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays

post 1267 from Turtle

its like saying ten black murderers received much higher sentences than 10 white drunk drivers. absolute truth but then claiming blacks are treated more harshly than whites by the justice system would be clearly dishonest

Where was race mentioned before this in the discussion about taxation?

Lets try this again since everyone else understands it

you and Teamosil and Catawba are comparing working people and rich investors

you claimed that some comparisons are truthful such as claims that the TOTAL tax bill some middle class people pay is a higher percentage of their AGI than the single tax (federal income) that SOME rich investors pay

that might be truthful but its a dishonest comparison

So I chose a topic that is common for us who are lawyers-claims that black defendants are treated more harshly than white ones

so I used as an absurd a hypothetical as the comparison of all taxes vs one tax-blacks who commit murder vs white miscreants

its pathetic to try to attack this analogy which is an accurate description of both a truthful scenario and an idiotic comparison as what you all have done with total tax bills vs one of many taxes applied to investors

Your intent came across loud and clear Turtle. Loud and clear. Your point was unmistakable.

And who exactly is EVERYONE? You like to take the opinion of one or two of your fellow believers and pretend that the entire universe is standing behind you.

That's absolutely ridiculous. I've seen Turtle jump on Stormfront supporters harder than anyone. I think accusing someone of bringing up race inappropriately, when it clearly was not done by most accepted standards is certainly playing the race card.

See the problem is that you were looking for it. I saw Turtle making an analogy about two groups. YOU read into his adjectives describing the groups as racist. AND since you noticed it and made point of it THAT is playing the race card…Further you take the sanctimonious position to deem where ‘it has no place’. Again another sign of a race card player..

please go and look at post 1267 by Turtle. There was no mention of race here until Turtle brought it in.

If he had not been the first to introduce it, no one could have read anything into it. Why are you ignoring that reality? WAIT!!! Turtles lean and your lean are identical. So much for that.

I am waiting for you to spell out what you are trying to say about me using an analogy to prove that someone can say something that is truthful and then come to an idiotic conclusion

as is yours, Catawba and teamosils even if you have "undisclosed". so what.

You saw fit to bring race into a discussion about taxes when there was no reason to.

Perhaps you are looking into a mirror?

Whoever said that mentioning race in an example was racist? That's nuts.

Where do you get this word RACIST from? You are inventing things that were not there?

Why would you do that?

the tax issue compares two groups

my analogy was using two identifiable groups

you are trying to accuse me of racism-the fact that you started whining about race is obvious given your history in this area. and other posters are seeing this dishonesty in your posts

LIAR. I never accused you of racism in this thread.

But go ahead and prove me wrong with my quote calling you that. Or be a man and retract your charge against me.

I never started anything about race in this thread. You did in post 1267. Why are you lying bout that also?

That, my friend, is a 'standard liberal tactic'. They struggle to attain some social dominance they use this when any hint of ANY minority is mentioned, especially blacks. Its kinda like a trump card but they just don’t seem to realize it makes them look MORE racist…maybe one day they will get past this.

Do you even understand what you just wrote because I have no idea what you are ranting about. Then again, I have not consumed the gallons of kool-aid necessary for that sort of 'enlightenment' to occur.
