Is Eduardo Saverin A Scumbag?

[Katzndogz]

Your 50% figure is bullshit. Most of his projected gain would be taxed at reduced rates. He's still making money on a publicly financed infrastructure.

Publicly financed?

He doesn't charge to be a member, companies pay to advertise.

Duh....The Internet was publicly financed. The American taxpayers paid for it, and it was put on the public domain.

Is this what you think? The internet wasn't publicly financed. It grew on it's own. Access to the internet wasn't even publicly financed. Access came from companies, evil corporations, improving access to the internet along with phone and television service. There would have been no internet if there hadn't been fiber optics and fiber optics have nothing to do with the government.

It is a reason for despair that so many people think that all comes from the government. Simiple a reason for despair.

 

[Claudette]

Hell. I don't blame the guy one bit.

He's made a fortune off FB and I'm sure he's payed his "fair share" of taxes.

I'd boogie as well.

I think Dickless is jealous of the guy.

 

[Dick Tuck]

He built a personal empire with FaceBook, which was a value added addition to what we, the people provided the infrastructure for. At the point where the company is going public, he announced his decision to renounce his American citizenship to save paying taxes on his historic capital gain.

hummmmm, is Bono a scumbag?

oh wait, lets do the litmus test- IF they gave to Obama they are good souls ...if they gave to Romney, they are scumbags....so did he give to anyone, if so, its a toss up.


did you 'tuck' your brains up there too?

Your unclever ad hominen has nothing to do with this specific issue. It has nothing to do with Obama. Bono is a citizen of Ireland.

This issue is about an American who is renouncing his citizenship, only to avoid taxes, after building an empire, ie FaceBook, for no other reason than he doesn't want to pay taxes on his windfall.

So, this is a good person for your and your beliefs?

Can anyone imagine the magnitude of a cluster the internet would be if the government tried to run it.

 

[Two Thumbs]

He was the hint.

did you get it?

Should I give Dick another hint?

Or do you think he got it, but just can't bring himself to admit it?

 

[Katzndogz]

Hell. I don't blame the guy one bit.

Now that the government instituted over taxation and confiscatory taxation, they will get no taxes at all. They will make their last grab and then there will be no more from this billionaire.

One of the reasons might well be the government instituting new FATCA rules for foreign banks that make it prohibitive for a foreign bank to open an account for American citizens or to maintain those that are already open. He lives in Singapore, has lived in Singapore for four years and now, suddenly, overnight, can't have a bank account or access to his bank account! No one is going to stand for that.

 

[Dick Tuck]

I think Dickless is jealous of the guy.

Who wouldn't be? But that's not the issue.

Are you saying that if you had a windfall profit, using an infrastructure payed for by the American people, that you'd be OK with renouncing your citizenship to avoid paying taxes?

 

[Dick Tuck]

Can anyone imagine the magnitude of a cluster the internet would be if the government tried to run it.

The government does run it. Could you imagine if it were a corporate free-for-all?

we would all have the right to free porn.

wait

we already got that.

We could get free access!
wait, got that

We could contact freinds and family for free anywhere in the world
wait....


We would never read a word not approved by liberals.
wait, we get that in the real world

:think:

You can agree or disagree with what he is doing for his personal gain... a decision about his own citizenship...

The big scumbags though are also the ones who think that the government should be confiscating over 50% of this person's income

Your 50% figure is bullshit.

True. Most Leftists believe the gubmint should confiscate FAR more than 50% of a rich guy's income.

No they don't but they're trying like hell to regulate it.

infrastructure on facebook. give me a break. you didn't give him jack shit except for demonization for becoming rich. No he is not a scumbag. You are though.

True. Most Leftists believe the gubmint should confiscate FAR more than 50% of a rich guy's income.

So you believe that any taxation is confiscation. Your free lunch theory doesn't hold much water.

So FaceBook would have happened without the Internet. Are you really this fucking stupid?

Damn straight. Net neutrality is regulation. It's giving everyone equal access.

see post # 20, you are a not very bright or informed person (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...g-huge-Glastonbury-protest--avoiding-tax.html) . the question now is, is it congenital?

 

[Dick Tuck]

True. Most Leftists believe the gubmint should confiscate FAR more than 50% of a rich guy's income.

So you agree with my point?

Not in the slightest. You're the one expecting free lunches. Government provides services, that our elected officials have decided are in the best interest of our society. Services aren't free.

Do you want to get rid of our armed forces?

You don't agree that most Leftists want the rich to pay over 50% of their incomes in taxes?

You are a not very bright or informed person.
