Nickel and Dimed from The American Ruling Class!

I am pretty tired of being poor,my whole life now,and despite how hard I work I never get ahead,whats up wit that?

Cut off your Internet service. You can afford an ISP, do you realize that you are denying a "poor" person Internet service?

Stop exploiting people.

Service is available through the library, and internet is available in many public buildings so I don't follow your argument. And why do you care? You are about as shallow as any Republican I have ever met, why are you trying to make me feel bad, it is you who has no heart.

Continued:

"If you have what you need to survive you have enough." Says who? Another rule you made up. Anyway, if you believe that, why do you care about "the poor"? They have enough to survive.

Do you think Eherenreich only keeps enough money to "survive"? I think not.

It is a religious argument created by Jesus. His answer to those who wanted to be with him was to give away all they had and follow him. I guess in that case having nothing was better than the rich man. Easier to get a camel through the eye of a needle than a rich man into heaven.

So I stole a penny from you. I exploited you.

"suppose [sic] to be paying taxes at least equal" - That's a rule you seem to have made up. Anyway, "they" pay taxes far above the rate that the middle does.

"stealing from the poor" - sorry, if something isn't yours, there is no way I can "steal" it from you.

The actual translation is "for the LOVE of money is A ROOT of ALL KINDS of evil." That sentiment is neither here nor there regarding taxation.

Your logic is a waste of my time.
Somethings don''t belong to the rich and powerful just because they have exploited them or exappropriated them by theft and we aren't talking pennies here.

You believe many economic fallacies.

And you believe in total greed and could give a shit less about anyone but yourself. I can sleep at night knowing I try my best to do as much as I can for the most people, you happen to be an exception that doesn't warrant any consideration.

Your grasp of economics is dismal. I don't blame you, it's what the Eherenreichs of the world have led you to believe.

You don't understand the Jesus thing there - read the context. Anyway, that has nothing to do with our discussion.

My argument is based on your logic - if you make one penny more than someone else, then by your own definition, you are "taking" from them.

Bill Gates is worth $50 billion (or more). Does this mean there is $50 billion that has been denied to others?
