@TechnoDevotee But thing this is when people have money, THEY SPEND IT AND INVEST IT.

I don't agree with the guy, not all wealthy people are hard workers. There is a huge system of inherited wealth nowadays, most rich people today were born into wealthy families whose ancestry either made the money from: hard work, slave labour, etc. And socialism is not a bad thing, too many people go straight to communism and they are NOT the same thing. I think the real issue is greed. Too many people would rather have 10 cars, and 20 bedroom houses than using that money for something decent.

Do people really want fair? If you do, eliminate income tax altogether and initiate a Flat Rate consumer tax.

@TechnoDevotee precisly.

I'm poor as heck but I don't like the idea of overtaxing the rich. Because think about it, eventually maybe when I'm done school and I get paid about $50k a year, I don't want 30% of that being taxed (and it will be since I'm in Toronto and the taxes here are fricken ridiculous).
If a person really thinks long term and has real goals for theirself than there's no reason to support high taxes, but if you're broke and not expecting to go anywhere, then yeah, you support this.

fuck fox news, EAT THE RICH

Conservatives who say it's immoral to pay taxes shouldn't drive on private roads either. They're like a guy who doesn't want to pay the condominium fee but still wants to use the elevator.

Yeah, because an "Academic on the let" would know less about the tax system then a conservative talking-head who doesn't even know what socialism actually means... -____-
-
It wouldn't be a meritocracy anyway because there are pleanty of people that would become rich off of doing immoral things or just getting lucky.
-
And they try to talk over the other person so u can't hear THEIR views because of course only Republicans have "valid" views LOL. Yeah right ...
as long as there is inter-generational transfer of wealth (rich people giving their kids their money) the economic system is not a pure meritocracy and therefore rich people are not always "hard workers"

@XxWiseAxX Except that people born in wealthy households will inevitably be able to be more successful than a person born into a lesser household. Access to more expensive private schools and colleges, among other luxuries that will help them be more successful. Doesn't sound like equal opportunity for me
