Yes, the rich really do pay their “fair share” of income taxes

screw 'em - they won't miss it.

Why yes I do believe that they "earn" their profits. Just as the plumber "earns" his profits. So too does the gas station owner, the pizza joint owner, the used car salesman, and EVERYONE ELSE who doesn't get his income at the government trough or point of a gun.

That they make big bux while you scrounge for pennies and can barely figure out how to pay your taxes is irrelevant to the issue of whether they "earned" that money or not.

So you see that they make windfall profits by “lending” fiat currency that only exists because our financial system gives them the power of creating money out of thin air and you think they have “earned” it yet you won’t acknowledge that our system favors the rich?



Okay. Any iota of credibility you ever had is gone.

I once pointed out how you argue like a typical lawyer - you fix your focus around your agenda and let nothing but money dissuade you. Facts are fungible for you.

You’re a regular Joe Tacopina.

And of course in your world bankers didn't make scads of money while we were still on the gold standard...


It's like you can't think or reason outside of the bubble you live in.

Do you favor a return to the Gold Standard?
Are you aware of what a return to the Gold Standard would do to the global economy?

What is the alternative to “tax and spend”?


Actually, while the GOP literally makes a joke out of things like “infrastructure week” the Democrats are left to find ways to fund the country’s needs.

Since the GOP won’t approve any taxes to spend on the country’s needs it has to be borrowed, but even then the GOP won’t lift a finger to help pay the debt, so we go along paying interest - the same way as if you only make payments to cover interest on credit card debt.

“Tax and spend” is how it should be, but the GOP refuses.

Hats seem to be the only policy the GOP has.
