France's top court:UNCONSTITUTIONAL to levy 75% tax on rich

[syrenn]

First, I don't believe in your God or your bible. Your "God" is a fraud to keep stupid people like you in line. I'm vastly more evolved.

Second, if you are making seven or eight figures, it's because you are stealing from the people who are doing the actual work. Shit, we give 8 figures to CEO's when their companies need to be bailed out by the government, that gives the government the right to take that money back.

Which would mean the Kennedy's have stolen from the American people.. John Effin Kerry has stolen.. along with countless liberals who have multi million dollar incomes and portfolios. So who gets to determine at what level someone is stealing?? Hmm? I think all of the Detroit Auto bail out companies needs to hear you liberals stating the government has the right to drain their incomes.. Why didn't Obama say that very thing during the election, hmm?

I don't know why you think that I believe that there should be exemption for rich liberals.

I'm for taxing Soros as heavily as a Koch brother.

Go back to teh Pre-Reagan tax code. High rates for the idle rich and lots of deductions for people doing things that are constructive.

and for all of that ....it still lets about 50% of americans off the hook for paying ANY federal taxes.

if you are going to tax... then tax everyone. NO deductions.

Could you kindly post the letters you have written to GE, liberal politicians, George Soros, all of the rich liberal media, Hollywood.. demanding they have their money taken up to 75%- ALL OF IT, being according to you, they have stolen money .. "YOU DIDN'T BUILD THAT."--> Joe's motto along with Obamas.

Again... "But...but...but... some liberals are rich."

Yes. Yes, they are, and they should pay their fair share, too.

That didn't answer my question of who decides what is "their fair share and how much would that fair share be?"

a fair share is .... everyone paying the same % of income.

 

[syrenn]

OH my God, somewhere a Rich person might be paying his fair share!!!!

We can't have that!

75% is paying a fair share?? lol

sure it is.... to everyone not paying a cent in federal taxes and collecting the entitlements they will get.

Since when do you respect the French you right wing hypocrite.

^^Leftist entering the thread with name calling.. Who knew?! According to NoNuke, one must be in love with France and all french political discourse in order to have an opinion. The mindset of a liberal is a frightening thing to behold.

Go ahead, deny when you are caught out.

Huh?

Not everyone in France is a moron like you.

French Court Says 75% Tax Rate on Rich Is Unconstitutional - Bloomberg

Even the French are getting a taste of the failed policies of Socialism, to include their courts which will not allow the insane Socialists of that country to rob the wealthy blind. The really telling thing is that although a multitude of business has fled France over the tax inequality, soaking the rich-- these same blind politicians don't care.. Jobs don't matter, only stealing money from the rich to fund their pet projects. Just as here in the United States, you could tax the rich 100% of their income and it would only help to fund the government for 3 months and NOT MAKE ONE single dent in the debt.

Since when do you respect the French you right wing hypocrite.

 

[GoneBezerk]

Europeans have slashed their nanny state government budgets in places like Germany, people are revolting in France over high taxes to keep the nanny state in place, etc.....yet liberals here keep chugging along to be like European countries that are headed back towards us.

It's like watching idiots march to the edge of the cliff then turn around within inches of their death....but others behind them have no clue what is in front of them.

Please define 'socialism' and give us concrete, objective examples our government is socialistic.

Socialism is government control of the economy. Examples of socialism are the following.

Public schools.
public universities
social security
Medicare
Medicaid
welfare
virtually any government program
government regulations.

Atheism is on par with libertarianism: both very primitive concepts.

Every savage scrubbing for tubers in the jungle believes in a god or gods. Atheism only appeared on the scene in the last several hundred years, so which concept is more primitive?

No one cares what you're for, asshole. There's nothing noble or admirable about coveting money that others have earned fair and square.

 

[JakeStarkey]

That's your opinion, which you can't even substantiate. I am sure there were some atheists and libertarian fools loose in prehistoric days.

[bripat9643]

I've debated Atheists numerous times and have found most do not feel a need to belittle and and insult my beliefs any more than I would theirs. You don't hold to that same principle which shows me you're not worthy to even have a discussion regarding my beliefs. Don't pretend to know what a passage in scripture means when you don't even know who God is.. It takes discernment from God himself to understand what he wants his children to know. That leaves you out.

Joe is simply a jackass. Don't bother treating him with respect. He doesn't deserve it.

It's not my opinion. It's historical fact. If you think there are atheists in primitive tribes, please provide an example of one.

 

[bripat9643]

That didn't answer my question of who decides what is "their fair share and how much would that fair share be?"

Congress, of course.

Based on what?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Art I, Sections 2, 8, and 9 of the US Constitution, which the states ratified per the direction of We the People.

Good question.

For those playing along at home, in my straight job, I'm a buyer. In the last 4 1/2 years, I've found half a million in savings on purchases, from doing little things like replacing white boxes with brown boxes, (which are cheaper) to getting a deal on a CNC machine thta saved 50K.

My salary and benefits did not equal anywhere near 500K for that time period.

It was used to cover other parts of the business that lost money hand over fist.

So you think you're entitled to the $500K? Is that it?

 

[JakeStarkey]

bripat's real question "is he entitled to a sizable bonus?"

I realize Congress has the legal authority, dipshit. I'm asking what the moral authority for Congress to soak the rich is.

Nope, that isn't my "real question."

well no.....nor is believing in a god.

The lowest and dumbest animal in the forest doesn't believe in a God. You are a primate. Hardly evolved, and barely cognizant of your own existence.

The rich are paying their fair share and it is not enough to fund the greed of people who want more.

We can't have that, can we?

35% is the lowest the rich have paid in our history, and our economy has worked better when they pay more.

The top Rate was 93% in the 1950's.. and that was a golden age of America.

Sorry, just because you are scared of death and need to tell yourself a fairy story about a nice man who will make you happy for all eternity, doesn't not make you more evolved than a monkey.

You are just putting more thought into your death fears...

Like I said, mindless animals all believe in their own particular existence, and nothing much more. The primate will steal from his fellow primate in order to further is own comfort, but for all the mimicking of self awareness, they basically are no better than a badger who lives moment to moment, caring little for more than where its next meal is coming from.

The tax rate has nothing to do with the economy except in how it can and does affect investment in growth. Otherwise, taxation is nothing more than the provision for cowards against a big bad world where they fear they truly are on their own.

Most services that people depend upon are provide locally, with local taxation and the only real service a national tax provides for is defense against those who would take our liberty and resources.

Never once is a thought given to the misspent taxation of the citizens by the politician, but much is made about increasing taxes to the very entity that has proven, time and again, that it is not a responsible user of the taxpayers funds.

Yet the primates and fools continue to call for more of what they clearly cannot manage.

I am not impressed.

Do shut up about needing a god to have basic morals. It is a moronic view point to have.

I could argue you have the thought process of a child who thinks some magical man lives up in the sky who decreed you his morals otherwsie you would be lost to lesser beings.

Its fucking stupid.

Ah only taxation is worth its weight for defense and nothing more. There is your sacred cow. Time and time again you have been proven wrong about taxation. Congress can tax people, and Scotus ( with the Obamacare ruling) agrees with this.
