Part 2

So now it's OK to take from us to support people in the same condition we were in but don't have the brass ones to change their life like we did. And by the way since we made it we should be able to spend it anyway we darn well pleased. By the way, if corporations and companies collapse, there will be no jobs. By the way we make our money by producing and investing.

Excuse me but what about people that came from poor families that busted their butts and are now finally in their old age living well ? I grew up in a three room shack with junked cars in the yard, hubby grew up in a family of 6 without his father who deserted the family. We worked hard and paid our own way through college and have never accepted a dime in charity or help from anyone,anywhere.

Fairtax sounds great, but it's really goofy.

Google Fairtax second tier -- it has a trillion dollar "second tier" of taxation, that is central to their "plan". SInce they know they can't collect this "second tier" of taxation (that is why they hid it), their own plan is a farce.

I mean literally, a farce -- they KNOW their own plan is a joke, and have avoided hearings under oath for 13 years.

Sounds great though.

@Eldel15

He really didn't, he bought 86-DOS (actually lets be accurate, he got sombody else to buy it for him) from a company called Seattle Computer products then hired a bunch of people to make a GUI for it based on Mac's GUI then he sold it. This is part of the reason Windows is so shitty today, it's based on a patched and cobbled version of a Shell designed for 8086.

The only real merit in Gates was he was very smart in using vendor lock-in to ensure people remain dependant on his OS.

In terms of technological advancement Bill Gates contributed a lot.

Well first off corporations would have to pay tax in the first place instead of hiding money in other countries and paying zero tax. Even if you did what Forbes wanted to do and do a 15% flat tax which seems fair, it wouldn't be. After 90k you don't pay anymore into SS which means that the poor who make under 90K would be paying 15% + SS on their entire paycheck versus a rich person paying 15% + (SS up to 90k ).. So the poor would still be paying a bigger % of their pay..Fuck the rich

Amazing video.

Why debate with pathological liars? You think the rich became rich by being honest rational thinkers?
