OMB: Top 20% pay 95% of taxes, middle class 'single digits'

[rightwinger]

No, the UN uses global warming to save the planet

If they are doing it to redistribute wealth, they are doing a piss poor job of it

How much does the United States pay to the United Nations each year and how much were we to pay within the confines of the various false, Global Warming schemes?

How does one make money off of a global warming "scheme"?

Everyone pays some type of taxes

Why go after our poorest citizens for additional revenue when the wealthy have so much?

Not "going after anyone". Everyone who lives here owes something for the privilege. They also pay closer attention to what is being spent if they're not getting paid to live here and have to get out and help pull the wagon!

Perhaps the parasites that Sowell is referring to are corporate execs and Wall Street bankers.

They do make a fortune off of those who produce

Going back to honest money would mean no more foodstamps for Wal-Mart and Kroger. No more ethanol subsidies for archer-Daniels.

Socialism, for Wall Street and the donor/"job creator" class is fine, we're all about that in america.

I don’t think it’s fine. But give the government the power to seize income and redistribute it for the poor in schange for votes and that is where it always ends up...in the hands of the ruling elites.
When dollar hegemony ends the welfare class will starve in the streets...three generations of single mothers at a time.

Your govt leverages its power to seize income and redistribute it to the top. All day. Everyday. Via legislation. Generations of single mothers bailed out Wall Street with socialism pard. The entire planet witnessed it. Twice. Under "both" "conservative" and "liberal" administrations. Sure, the poor fucked everything up for you, go with that.

how does our government seize the poor's income that they don't have? can you answer?

The poor have zero income? I'd love to see your data.

Meanwhile, enjoy:

Plutocracy Reborn

sure once you show me where they pay income tax.

No, delusions are for denying the discomfort of reality. You had your chance - let's revisit this when we acquire another 10 Trillion in debt, wages stay stagnant and economic growth hovers around 1.5%. Until then...

We're growing the debt love, even as we speak. We've been on this path for a half century now, Don will not alter it, neither would Hilary have, your system cannot "fix" this. Empire is expensive, your version of an economy requires constant growth to sustain itself. Just a matter of time before your next revolving crash and eventually the world will move away frm the petro dollar. It will get interesting.

so again, what is it you would do? come on mouth you been yelling loudly, what's your answer?

I'm not yelling at all, you just have this emotional reaction when things are questioned and you come with the typical corporate power shtick type response, "well if you can't tell me how to fix this right now then you shouldn't be talking at all".

Your system is broken and unable to respond to the needs and will of the people, primarilly because there is no longer any voice of the people in either the political or economic system. Furthermore the citizenry sat on its arse and participated in its own demise so they, as they have been taught, respond with scapegoating in an effort to inoculate themselves from culpability.

So the people turn to the aristocracy to do for them what they will not do for themselves by offering up their fellow citizens as fuel for the system.

American style capitalism is predation, it now takes military occupation of the planet to keep the economy growing, once it can no longer grow to infinity, you will gain more of an understanding. So I say, let it go the way it is, it will eat itself.

no not at all. you made a statement that the current outlook is bad. ok, so what is good? why can't you answer that. I don't believe I'm saying anything other than back up what you're talking about. so far you got goose eggs.

I answered son, I say let it all go the way you want and watch it eat itself. You will need to actually ride it out to "get" it.

so nothing just as i thought.

Remember , in the pre Trump days of the media reign, how Romney was destroyed forcdtating the simple fact that 47% of Americans pay 0 income taxes?
Truth is a dangerous thing for the ruling class.

Hell yes they have. I've been running myself ragged my whole career trying to play the game by being productive and innovative. The fuckers at the top have soaked up whatever gains I've made and have given back only crumbs.

Sounds to me that is your problem, no one else's. You were right where you chose to be. No one forced you.

One of the reasons I chose a career where I, and I alone, determine my worth and no one else. It also afforded me the freedom to basically take on 2-3 other "part-time" professions as well as build an investment portfolio. It all comes down to want vs WANT.

I'm sorry you were afraid to leave the second base in order to steal third because you might be called out.

Yup, the primary tool of the right wing - self proclaimed victory.
