Gallup Poll:
71% of Democrats Say Government Should Redistribute Wealth

Republicans and Democrats have sharply different reactions to the government's taking such an active role in equalizing economic outcomes.

Seven in 10 Democrats believe the government should levy taxes on the rich to redistribute wealth, while an equal proportion of Republicans believe it should not. A majority of independents oppose the redistribution of wealth policy, as well.

What are YOUR views regarding the Redistribution of Wealth through Heavy Taxes on the Rich?

Poll to follow.

Do you think U.S. government should, or should not, redistribute wealth by heavy taxes on the rich?

 

[The_Trouvere]

The rich have prospered during this century, while most everyone else has struggled. The rich have looted the country, while paying lower taxes.

Soak them. Their money won't do us any good until the government takes it from them, and spends it on domestic spending programs that benefit everyone else.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Their money won't do us any good until the government takes it from them . . .

Wait, what?! They could invest it and create American jo-- . . . no, you're right. If they wanted to do that they would be doing it now.

 

[MeeMie]

Domestic spending programs?

Should taxpayers pay for food stamp recipients to eat lobsters and steak?

This is not a segregated waste of food stamp dollars. People have been abusing domestic spending programs like food stamps and welfare for years and years.



What effect do you think it will have on domestic spending programs when the upper Echelon (who pay the greatest bulk of taxes already) do their business elsewhere? And/or decrease their income levels by laying off current workers?

Why do you think that government has the right to take wealth from one group to benefit another?

Do you favor Communism and Socialism in your belief that government has the right to redistribute wealth?

 

[The_Trouvere]

Wait, what?! They could invest it and create American jo-- . . . no, you're right. If they wanted to do that they would be doing it now.

Tax cuts for the rich do not lead to jobs for the unemployed. Rich people will not hire people unless they get more customers. Cutting their taxes is like pushing on a string. We need to tax them heavily, and spread the wealth around. Then they will have plenty of customers.

 

[MeeMie]

Have you always been jealous of someone else's success?

Do you key nice cars because you can't have one yourself?

What makes you think that what a successful person has earned belongs to you?

Do you work for a living? Have you bettered yourself through education?

Have you always been jealous of someone else's success?

Have you always been oblivious to the most basic socioeconomic arguments?

 

[MeeMie]

This is the brunt of the problem:

T_Ball rules, you get to run the bases no matter what.

This is the outcome of Nanny State Government: basic socioeconomic proof

[Luk]

Have you always been jealous of someone else's success?

Yes, it's part of what makes me work harder. I like cool stuff.

Do you key nice cars because you can't have one yourself?

No. What made you even post that question? Is that something you practice?

What makes you think that what a successful person has earned belongs to you?

Never have, never will.

Do you work for a living?

Since I was 13. Do you?

Have you bettered yourself through education?

On paper, yes. But that's not the only way to better yourself. In fact, it's pretty low on that list.

Do you scour right wing blogs all day, not working, while making an ass of yourself posting c&ps without reading the full article that contradicts your position?

No need to answer the last one.

Here again you reveal your stupidity. What happened to Detroit happened when the top executives of the Big Three moved production elsewhere. They thought their profits were more important than providing factory workers with decent wages.

 

[busybody..]

Niggerific

 

[busybody..]

Well TURDVILLE

and

QUEER ORAFARCE

prove the poll right

 

[MeeMie]

Yes, it's part of what makes me work harder. I like cool stuff.

Jealousy is not the same thing as motivation. Like cool stuff, work hard to attain it, but don't be so envious that you would take someone else's stuff because you don't have it.

No. What made you even post that question? Is that something you practice?

It's something that I experienced every single time that I parked my Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet in a restaurant parking lot. It would never fail to amaze me. Finally sold the car just not to have to keep repairing vandalism scratches.

Never have, never will.

That's encouraging. Your views on Redistribution of wealth?
Did you vote in this poll?

Since I was 13. Do you?

Since I was 14. Currently, living well off my success in life.
I hope the same for your generation.

On paper, yes. But that's not the only way to better yourself. In fact, it's pretty low on that list.

Well, there's all sorts of "education to better yourself". It doesn't have to be formal, per se. Lessons in life are usually the best teacher and guide to success.

Do you scour right wing blogs all day, not working, while making an ass of yourself posting c&ps without reading the full article that contradicts your position?

No need to answer the last one.

I'll be happy to.

I'll compare my stats to yours any day of the week. See, here's the big difference ... I respect your right to have a different opinion than mine. Most lefties have no such ideals. It's become laughable actually.

I'll repeat this, just because I know how it annoys most of you loonies

Loonies are rank hypocrites. Instead of the bleeding hearts they claim to be, liberals are stingy toward the poor and needy; they are generous only with other people’s money. Instead of treating all peoples by the content of their character, liberals are racially discriminatory; some are black and brown supremacists. Instead of the feminists they pretend to be, liberals are misogynists – hateful and vicious toward conservative women. Instead of their rhetoric of being for the common man, liberals are elitist snobs who constantly denigrate their political opponents by portraying conservatives as ignorant, dumb rednecks without a college education or the proper Ivy League credentials. Liberals are miserable, bitter, malcontent people with a perennial chip on their shoulder. They are arrogant and narcissistic, with a self-serving relativist morality.

Liberalism under siege is an ugly sight indeed. Just yesterday it was all hope and change and returning power to the people. But "their" people have proved so disappointing. Ah, the people, the little people, the small-town people, the "bitter" people, as Barack Obama in an unguarded moment once memorably called them, clinging "to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them." That's his way of saying: clinging to bigotry. And promiscuous charges of bigotry are precisely how our current rulers and their vast media auxiliary react to an obstreperous citizenry that insists on "incorrect thinking", which is any thinking which disagrees with their own.



What's a liberal to do?


Pull out the bigotry charge, the trump that pre-empts debate and gives no credit to the seriousness and substance of the contrary argument. The most venerable of these trumps is, of course, the race card, so often flashed with dramatic vitriolic flare here at Lit.

We have our share of nasty, mean spirited, condescending liberals right here at Literotica. As typical, they are so quick to be nasty to anyone who doesn't agree with their ideologies.

It's impossible for loonies to debate a point without swearing or name calling.


The classic loonie debate:

• loonie gang bang
• fault the source
• point finger elsewhere
• namecalling
• insult integrity and intelligence
• answer a question with another question
• refuses to read info stating already knows what's in it
• BLAME BUSH!

It's a pattern easily recognizable, used in varying degrees, simultaneously and/or one jab at a time


The most comical and entertaining Loonie attribute is illustrated again here in this thread. It has become known as the Loonie Gang Bang. It's where a bunch of sycophants assemble en masse to beat down someone that has the colossal nerve to have an opinion that differs from their own.


They'll even make a thread to single out a poster to attack. And if someone wanders in to share support for the person being attacked, she becomes a target as well.

Aren't they heroic!

 

[MeeMie]

Here again you reveal your stupidity. What happened to Detroit happened when the top executives of the Big Three moved production elsewhere. They thought their profits were more important than providing factory workers with decent wages.

Step back a little further.

The working people moved out of Detroit when it became inundated with blood sucking abusers of Domestic Spending Programs.

The top executives of the car manufacturers were driving up the prices of vehicles, and thus driving the market to Japanese models, because of union expenses.

Good business thrives of profit.

"more important than providing factory workers with decent wages."
OH! Don't make me laugh!


And the spin gets crazier and crazier....

Just as I expected, this is another copy and paste job that is all over the internet. Even though it is nothing but right wing hot air I knew MeeMie was too stupid to put together so many complete sentences.

LMAO!

Every single time?

You drive your Porsche to shitty neighborhoods for dinner?

Sold the car because of vandalism?

If there was any doubt that you were completely full of shit, you erased it with a single paragraph.

 

[The_Trouvere]

Step back a little further.

The working people moved out of Detroit when it became inundated with blood sucking abusers of Domestic Spending Programs.

They did not move out until the jobs left.

And the spin gets crazier and crazier....

Your ignorance gets crazier and crazier. Americans stopped buying American cars because they were poorly designed, and consumed too much gasoline. That was not the fault of the autoworkers.

 

[islandman]

You're actually both right, but let's not let the facts get in the way of this bitchfest.

 

[Liar]

All taxes are redistribution of wealth from one place to another place.

 

[Sean Renaud]

All taxes are redistribution of wealth from one place to another place.

Exactly. After that point we're merely haggling about details.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/01/03/us-usa-taxes-poll-idUSTRE7022AK20110103

You'll also find that your poll finds opposition to taxing the rich is mainly coming from white males.

Women and minorities stand against you.

 

[MeeMie]

LMAO!

If there was any doubt that you were completely full of shit, you erased it with a single paragraph.

Yes, that's right. Every single time I parked it in a parking lot at a restaurant. Incidentally, these were at the best restaurants in town - not shitty neighborhoods. After three times, I no longer drove that vehicle anywhere that I had to park it.

I sold the car because it wasn't fun to worry about getting damaged. I found myself having to check on it whenever I parked it anywhere. It took the enjoyment out of driving it. It was a toy for enjoyment, not transportation.

All of that is the truth, regardless of what you may think.

Maybe someday when you have something coveted you'll understand how petty jealous people can be.
