The Forgotten Man

[CA renter]

Exactly, kewp.

If they feel they’re so burdened by the “parasites” of the world, they’re free to give up their wealth and become gardeners, masons, mechanics, factory workers (opps! don’t have those anymore!), etc. Then they can make $10/hour and finally be relieved of all those hefty taxes they’re paying. Will they stop bitching then?

Who’s stepping up? Anyone…anyone??? Didn’t think so!

CA renter…what kind of argument is that?

First throw out a false choice of being uber wealthy versus being a gardner, and then conclude with, “I’m going to have to agree with myself on this one.”

Equality is where people receive the value of what they produce, not where everyone is equal. Like it or not, some folks are more productive than others. Are there injustices? Absolutely. Are their crooks? Without a doubt.

Should we adopt a system where the productive are punished, and the unproductive are rewarded? I’ll answer that rhetorically: Should the NFL put weights on players based on how fast they can run a 40 so that everyone is the same?

This thread is amazing. Just when you think socialist ideas have been thrown out for the opiate they are, you get this kind of nonsense. Several bad weeks of news replaces 80 years of economic progress and the fact that freedom and economic prosperity are correlated at all levels of the economic ladder.

You can have your equal sized slice of a small pie. I’ll take my small piece of a big pie.

Unreal.

Should we adopt a system where the productive are punished, and the unproductive are rewarded?

Oh, you mean something like where factory workers and farmers pay higher income taxes than day traders?

Or RE flippers make more money than the day laborers that built the same properties?

Or CEO’s get hundred million dollar compensation packages after bankrupting their corporations and putting all their hard working employees out of work?

Thank the Lord we don’t live in a system like that, right?

We clearly define “productive” differently.

I believe it’s the WORKERS who are productive, not the ones who sit behind the desks or on golf courses “making deals” that usually benefit themselves — often at the expense of others.
