Nearly half of US households escape fed income tax

Sounds a lot like Income Redistribution to me, now where might that have come from?

 

If that was actually the case, I might agree with you.

 

Instead of worrying about who pays what tax, which is kinda a law and kinda a Bush law if anything, why not worry about the concentration of wealth?

That is the match that usually lights the fire of revolution.

The very, very high percentage of wealth in such a small percentage of people is not all that healthy, it leads to....well what we got going on today.

And the wealthy are able to get the middle class, who are loosing ground through the whole process, to do their bidding by emphasizing hot, but not necessarily, germane buttons. But the middle class are loosing ground to the wealthy, not the poor.

Read a little "real" history, not textbook history, of the US from 1880 through the Depression. We have been here before and it was not all that pretty.

Try a little Howard Zinn and then try a little Paul Krugman.

The "symptom" exposed here is of a much greater problem than taxes.

PS: Try reading a little Marx too. Remember, Karl did not have a theory of morality; he had a theory of history. Thus, Marxism was not about right or wrong but about what will happen in history. People tend to forget that and ass/u/me Marx wrote on or designed some give away/wealth transfer plan. Nope. History.

 

Oh, crap you done done it now.

Yeah. Like I'm gonna listen to a guy who can't spell "losing".

 

Is this what you were waiting on Lasalle?

This has to be the quote of all quotes, so now Bush is responsible for paying taxes? Are you kidding me? It all started with Bush huh? Man you really are quite the historian.:thumb:

Why exactly should we worry about this? Because they have it and you don't? Oh I get it, it isn't fair.
Tough sh!t pal, you will find fair when you see the ferris wheel on the horizon. You will find sympathy between sh!t and syphilis in the dictionary and you will find a hefty paycheck when you work for it. Here is some history for you, you cannot mulitply wealth by dividing it.

Again, why are you trying to keep up with them? Why are you dependent on someone else to make your life better, why can't you do it on your own? I don't care if my neighbor drives a lexus or moped. I live my life and if I want something I go buy it. If I want it but can't afford it then I work harder and I save for it. I don't go knock on his door and say I want what you have and it is not fair that you have it and I don't so you must give it to me. Didn't God say something about this ... I think there may have been 10 of them. 15 if you watch Mel Brooks movies but that is another story.

Sure have and you don't have to go back that far, only to Woodrow Wilson, why don't you tell us how that turned out?

Oh you must be talking about the other Marx, Tirks favorite 80's musician Richard.

What is your first name Vladamir or something. Karl Marx was one of the biggest opponents of capitalism to date. For someone who advocates reading it is apparent you haven't done much of it, or maybe you are just not understanding. Contact the gumbo knucklehead and ask him to pass along his hooked on phonics and reading is fun collectors edition set when he is done with them. It may take a while though.

 

Yahtzee!!

For a guy that types fast you don't think much.

Somehow in the bunker, black and white world in which you exist you seem to not understand that there are other thoughts out there beyond the sophomoric gibberish you pound out on the keys.

Noting in my post said I was for or against Marx, just pointing out that huge separations of wealth is not good, or do you have an example of a long term society where vast differences in wealth was a good thing over the long term. And no, you can't use Fred Flintstone and Barney as an example.

Do you think that having vast wealth in the hands of a small population is a good thing. What is your last name, Morgan, Vanderbilt, huh? Read the history you infer you have, learn what really stokes the fires of contempt, hatred, and revolt.

Don't you get that instead of violent revolution, we have had a bunch, and I mean a bunch of folks, that don't think as you do, VOTE. The stuff you see happening is in fact transfer of wealth, it is what in the past, revolutions have accomplished, and what are you doing, fiddlin while Rome burns pounding on the keys in a futile attempt to make things right. Pee-thetic.

You can rant and rave and hurl petty insults all you want, but sit back and look around you. The times they are a changing.

Also, you make a fool of yourself when you compare your tax bills to mine. You don't know me, but I find it hilarious you would be either so nieve or so shallow to attempt to know what I pay. I can assure you, you would be embarrassed. I will worry about my tax bills, you worry about your own.

You really need to expose yourself to more thought and especially more views that you are not comfortable with. Sitting around listening to Rush all day, ain't gonna cut it. Don't be mad at me, or at Karl Marx for that matter, be mad at the ultra-rich that employ you and others to fight their fight.

They, with the help of the Republican Party, the NEO-Conservatives, and Reagan Economics, not to mention the Supreme Court have gone to far. The moderates sat silent, hoping things would get better. They did not. And now, the guillotine, this time with a tax burden bill than a blade is falling.

The rich are too busy having champers and cavier and possibly, crawdads to be overly concerned! Once again, it is the silent moderates that will pay the bills, the rich will just laugh at the rest of US.
