Where are you getting the idea that the “rich” have somehow “earned” their money?
Also, wasn’t Bill Gates embroiled in antitrust lawsuits because he’s structured the business so there can be no real competition? Do the customers benefit from his actions?
Isn’t he also the one who hired permanent “temporary” workers so he didn’t have to pay healthcare benefits and pensions, etc.? Did the employees benefit from this?
So, taxing Google’s **profits** will somehow make them go bankrupt or eliminate any incentive to keep working…please explain, in detail, how you come to this conclusion.
Not sure where you get the idea that “lazy, beer-swilling couch potatoes” are the recipients of the taxpayers’ largesse. The numbers would certainly prove that claim wrong.
The largest expense, by far, is defense spending. Social Security and Medicare follow close behind. Are these the “lazy” people you’re referring to?
Where does the “No Bankers Left Behind” bill fit into your thesis that the “rich” earned their money???? Aren’t the banks and financial players some of the wealthiest people in the nation? Is this what you would call “class warfare”?
