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:

friend = government then?:mrgreen: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
Check your facts. they ABSOLUTELY do.
Tell me which word you didn't understand.
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"
They absolutely do not

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...
Actually it is the top 5% that pay a majority.
Your subjective opinion. Sake of argument, I say yes they do.
Yet another example of the inefficiency and corruption inherent in government redistributing for half-baked notions of fairness.
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?
Your subjective opinion. Sake of argument, I say no they do not
More like another example of how the wealthy steal from the working class.
your sweeping generalization reveals your flagrant class-based bias.
My niece likes to engage in this type of behavior, repeating everything I say.
The burden is on the people, who are soveriegn. They decide how our tax moneys are to be spent.
reality seems to be absent from that point
