The Forgotten Man

[Casca]

The class warfare nitwits are out in force. There’s not much that I’d agree with the Obamas on, but $250k a year isn’t rich. Technically it may be, but in reality it just isn’t all that much. I probably know a half dozen folks with more than $50 mil. Amazingly, they’re mostly liberal twits who dedicate their lives to tax avoidance.

BTW esmith, I take it back. You’re an idiot. Now go on out there, and eat the rich.

Does anyone here seriously think the people making $250k a year are doing ten times the work of those making $25k a year?

And those making 2.5 million are working ten times harder than those making $250k?

I suppose I’m confused. Or perhaps the argument is so simplistic it’s beyond comprehension. Actually, the old class warfare arguments are about as appealing as the stuff that drops out of my dogs butt when he squats on the lawn.

So, the guys that started Microsoft, eBay, Google Cisco, Qualcomm etc. have not helped society through the creation of jobs? Are they not all filthy rich? Does not the amount they pay to employees in their companies FAR outweigh what they pay in taxes? How about the overall amount of utility that society derives from using their services or products?

A hypothetical question: If you asked the employees at Google if they would prefer that Larry Page and Sergey Brin pay 0 taxes for the rest of their life OR we shut down Google permanently what would be their answer?

Same question for eBay, Amazon, Cisco, Microsoft etc.

To say the rich do nothing for the working class is patently absurd and borders upon kindergarten reasoning heavily tainted with jealousy and envy. You’re all entitled to your opinions but from my perspective it is nothing but slop.

I don’t want government determining what my minimum wage will be. Nor do I want them determining my level of health care. Nor am I rich. To me, anyone that craves that amount of outside control over their lives has some sort of disorder and probably needs psychological counseling.

False dichotomy.

Why don’t you ask those same employees if they think its fair that Larry & Sergey pay a smaller percentage of their yearly earnings in taxes than their salaried employees?

Btw, both Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have both stated that they feel they are not paying their fair share of taxes relative to their employees.
