I'm sure you're correct and they'll just let you do that rather than moving their assets elsewhere...safe. So why tax anyone anything if you see it as a punishment? Oh, we need it to fund society?

Tax everyone...at a flat rate. Then everybody has some skin in the game. AOC ideas wouldn't even fly in Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installing a global economy before putting a global government in place to deal with it will probably go down as one of the most ass-backward things an intelligent species has ever done. We're probably a laughing stock on a Galactic Exchange Index somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she is, it's pretty scary. She says that any system that allows people to become millionaires and billionaires is immoral and has to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BubberMiley Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) Her actual words were that a system that allows billionaires to coexist alongside "parts of Alabama where people are still getting ringworm because they don't have access to public health" is "wrong." Most people would agree with her, so Shady includes millionaires in the hopes that he can get someone on his side by misrepresenting the truth. Very, very dishonest, but also very typical.

Sorry my mistake, I only heard it. Fine, so millionaires are ok? Billionaires aren't? You think that's reasonable? What if somebody pays 70% of their income in taxes but still is able to earn enough to become a billionaire? Should the feds seize their property?

BubberMiley Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 You'd think if they were such lying liars that you would have something better than...what was it again? A little blurb about Trump's verifiable refusal to disavow King? Surely if they are so dishonest, you have lists and lists of verifiable falsehoods. Don't you?

I did, in less than five minutes, just like I said I would. Just because you choose to say that they didn’t lie doesn’t mean anything, it just proves your bias. Trump was accused of “embracing” King and that’s not the least bit accurate. Does CNN ever say that Obama and the black caucus embrace Louis Farrakhan’s religious bigotry and racism? They say on Fox that those people should denounce him and that they are skeptical of their back-channel dealings with him but they never say they “openly embrace” his more disgusting bigotry. Do they talk about how Hillary actually did openly embrace what Margaret Sanger stood for? Nope. That’s an actual thing. So, in short, CNN does lie and you just back them.

There must be something they've already done that you can point to. Don't you have anything?

In the meantime, if you’re bored, just look for a pic of Anderson Cooper kneeling in a ditch to report on flooding lol. “I couldn’t stand on the road because emergency vehicles were constantly going by!” Lol but his cameras were set up there, and it’s so much easier to move the cameras than it is for him to move his lying ass ten feet. CNN is a joke. You can’t see it. That’s not good Bubber. Just out of curiosity, how accurate do you think they are, on a scale of 1-10? I’m just asking you for your honest opinion on that. 1-10. Super easy question to answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's the actual context of what she said, not the BS that you're trying to make it out to be. No. That’s a false choice. Extreme poverty doesn’t exist because somebody else is wealthy. Extreme poverty is a result of poor education, mental illness, or addiction. I’m not sure what you mean by less than subsistence. Subsistence is a subjective term. Wages are set by supply and demand. The demand for certain skills vs the supply of people that can do them. I understand that this is basic economics which doesn’t get taught in schools much anymore. What you and she are suggesting are the same policies that exist in places like Venezuela. How did that work for addressing extreme poverty there? There’s a reason why she’s on Maduro’s side right now. Btw, the same side as Russia, China, Iran, etc. I understand that people have strong feelings regarding the need to address poverty. Unfortunately feelings don’t fix problems. Facts don’t care about feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme poverty has been successfully eliminated in societies like the formerly great USA, where fair taxation of extreme wealth was used to build infrastructure and a social safety net, thereby creating a strong middle class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
