  • Workers, REAL workers, need to realize they are the real "wealth creators" in this country. If Ford fired every single worker below executives, they would make no cars. Simple as that. I don't see the CEO going down to the line and welding spot 1. That's the reality. When workers draw a line and say "this is it, we're not going backwards", then we'll be able to deal with executives who think THEY are all that matter

    It that is true the great Republican Eisenhower was the biggest theif of all. His tax rate on those making over a million was NINTY PERCENT.

    An analysis of history shows the higher tax rates produce more wealth for more people.

    15% is theft, because that low tax rate puts the burden of the debt it creates on the very people who do not benefit from it, and who can't afford it.

    The Republican tax policy is a lie, that benefits NO ONE but the Rich.

  • @MagnesDrachen13 they hire those who live in other countries? Move their business to another country? Would this situation occur? I'm all for taxing the rich, but this is an argument I hear and don't know what the answer to it.

  • @resincoatedlungs howmuch do you think normal people end up paying int axes and indirect taxes

  • Dude, taking 40% of someone's income is out and out theft.

  • If that makes me a crazy anarchist then so be it. I call it having consistent morality.

  • Stealing is immoral. Period.

    Its evil when the money goes to war, and its evil when it goes to corporations, and its evil when it goes to the poor. The recipient is irrelevant. Its wrong because it is sticking guns in peoples facing and stealing their money.

    If you think im exxagerating, dont pay your taxes, when when thugs come to kidnap you, defend yourself like you would against any other kidnapper.

    The reality is that theft and violence is inherent in government spending.

  • @famousmanbearpig : Yeah, like.. WTF was THAT all about???

  • @momzacarp
