You have kids and you're dead-set against a safety net? You do realize that when parents income goes away, it's the kids who suffer the most, right?I am at the median income for my age and gender.Middle class income is stagnant because middle class minds are stagnant.
So, why is your mind stagnant? Are you lower class? Don't really know. Do you have any class? Not that I can tell.
One thing I know for sure though. You ain't upper income class.
So what are you? Are you employed? Are you sucking on the government teat?
Only an idiot thinks corporations don't pass on taxes to consumers.
This is like some sort of mantra for people like you isn't it?
You know that corporations pay taxes on profit. Right? If they have no profit, they pay no income taxes. No matter how many consumers they have.
But lets say that I agree that ultimately the purchase of a companies goods and services has the consumer providing the income to the corporation to pay their corporate taxes.
SO FUCKING WHAT? What is it that you think this means? Why do your kind want to repeat this like it means something sinister?
You know employers pay their employees taxes? Yep. They sure do. That paycheck the employer gives out, that's how employees pay their taxes. Isn't that something?
That means about as much as your "consumers pay corporate taxes" or whatever it is that has you all concerned.
But, I am rich in ways you cannot even comprehend.
The only things that have me "all concerned" is the debt we are leaving to our kids, and the idiots like you they will have to share the planet with.
