So racist inferences/comments are fine by you ..... in retaliation for pointing out political misconduct that is harmful to democracy.I was hoping that between your posting White's behaving badly posts, you could point out the racist tropes and what race they specifically refer to. Feel free to report your findings
nope. feel free to report. in turn...i hope everyone else follows suit when you make racist inferences. everyone should repot such things to draw the moderators attention to where the prblems are.So racist inferences/comments are fine by you ..... in retaliation for pointing out political misconduct that is harmful to democracy.
About 50% of the wealth of the capitalist class comes from inheritance. The fortunes of the wealthiest 1% of families go back a median of 4 generations. The fact that a tiny minority of workers are able to accumulate enough wealth through their labor to become capitalists does not change the fundamental situation of inherited privilege any more than the fact that a tiny minority of slaves were able to work their way up to becoming slaveowners themselves.Nope not in the slightest. They did work for a living, they saved a lot as a result of their hard work, didn't covet the monies of others, and then found themselves with some extra money which they chose to invest, which is their right.
Just because your labor produces jack shit, doesn't mean that their labor and what they earned is wrong. Simple as that
By the way I've been meaning to ask, do you get a tax refund? I think I asked you once before
It’s not envy. It’s preferring a society where people aren’t starved so that luck can enable what hard work and talent don’t.Do you object to people who win the state mega lottery? How about pro gamblers who make millions? You envy them their winnings? No difference to the Rothchilds really. Why does that fvck you communists up that they don't "work"?
What other lucky bastards do you commies envy?
Anyway. I think you did ask and I get a refund (that is, make an obligatory interest-free loan if my money to the ruling class’s treasury) 3 years out of 4, depending on tax policy, how I set up withholding, how much exactly I earn, and my student loans.Nope not in the slightest.

Hard work and talent are rewarded very sufficiently in this country and like no other. If you say otherwise for some then you have to question their hard work and talent. Only very bad luck or bad brains trumps hard work and talent. And even then not so often in America.It’s not envy.

So why is there more intergenerational class mobility in so many other countries?Hard work and talent are rewarded very sufficiently in this country and like no other.

It is unfortunate.About 50% of the wealth of the capitalist class comes from inheritance. The fortunes of the wealthiest 1% of families go back a median of 4 generations.

That must have taken a lot out of you.Anyway. I think you did ask and I get a refund (that is, make an obligatory interest-free loan if my money to the ruling class’s treasury) 3 years out of 4, depending on tax policy, how I set up withholding, how much exactly I earn, and my student loans.
Globalist-communist values permeating our regulatory system and legislative branch.So why is there more intergenerational class mobility in so many other countries?
Right? Some kind of odd complex going on here.Another "I am a dope" thread from no reason.
On my 2020 return I did. Not for the first time.That must have taken a lot out of you.
So you did?
So rather hypocritically you also are "Relying on the labor of others to produce the return on your investments". How exquisitely ironic.On my 2020 return I did. Not for the first time.
People with an education get it.Another "I am a dope" thread from no reason.
What race?Hey, Phil, notice the racist talking points in the opening post?
What rant about poor people? Have you read the first post?Right? Some kind of odd complex going on here.
Nobody: *Silence*
Reason: *Starts ranting about poor people, stereotypes, how great Florida is, how lazy liberals are, how Reason10 is the most wealthiest and well educated of them all despite not saying how much they make or do for a living.
What racial inferences?So racist inferences/comments are fine by you ..... in retaliation for pointing out political misconduct that is harmful to democracy.
Well, as a matter of fact, the majority of taxes are paid by the people who work the hardest and the smartest. Here's the IRS breakdown of the highest payers.The vast majority of taxes are paid by people who work.

There is new data for 2001. The share of total income taxes paid by the top 1% fell to 33.89% from 37.42% in 2000. This is mainly because their income share (not just wages) fell from 20.81% to 17.53%. However, their average tax rate actually rose slightly from 27.45% to 27.50%.
*Data covers calendar year 2001, not fiscal year 2001 – and includes all income, not just wages, excluding Social Security
This proves that it was not the tax cut that caused revenues from the rich to fall, but the recession and the stock market crash. In other words, you live by the sword, you die by the sword. If you are going to benefit from the rich paying more taxes, due to progressivity, on the upside, you are going to lose more revenue from these people on the downside. This is a good argument for reducing progressivity.
Think of it this way: less than four dollars out of every $100 paid in income taxes in the United States is paid by someone in the bottom 50% of wage earners. Are the top half millionaires? Noooo, more like “thousandaires.” The top 50% were those individuals or couples filing jointly who earned $26,000 and up in 1999. (The top 1% earned $293,000-plus.) Americans who want to are continuing to improve their lives – and those who don’t want to, aren’t. Here are the wage earners in each category and the percentages they pay:
So, just out of curiosity, how in the name of ZEUS'S BUTTHOLE did the concept of welfare privilege morph into who pays income taxes?
Somebody has been overdosing on stupid pills again, (and nobody seems to want to enforce the rules about thread drift.)
