Rush tells NY to DROP DEAD...

[AllieBaba]

Everyone is replaceable and nobody thinks they aren't. What we can't do without is equal opportunity for any one person to attain wealth.

The rest of the liberal spewing is just that...hateful spewing.

Ya' think?

Read Atlas Shrugged and tell me what the central theme of that philosophical tripe really is, honey.

You continue to prove to me that you are smug, spiteful little know-nothing whose contributions to this community aren't worth a pimple on any of our asses.

 

[AllieBaba]

As usual, the lefty asswipe takes his own resume and assigns it to the person he most dislikes.

 

[AllieBaba]

BTW, the theme of Atlas Shrugged is that society stagnates when we devalue or punish independent and productive achievers.

In case you didn't know.

Allie is a social worker. Like my cop friends, they think everyone is scum, because they see scum all day everyday.

But in her mind, she thinks this makes her an expert on the subject.

I think she said that she worked at a newspaper before she became a social worker. And that makes her an expert on the liberal media.

 

[AllieBaba]

See, that's the difference between me and the left, Booboo. I DON'T think they're scum. YOU do. I love the people I work with, and I chose this field and have always worked with the people you refer to as "scum".

And it doesn't take an expert to see the glaring truth about the media.

 

[DiveCon]

and ED misses the point again
if you keep RAISING those taxes on a state level to a punitive amount, you WILL drive some of them out of state

Then all that will happen is the workers will make some OTHER capitalist rich.

The delusion that the extrmely wealthy are irreplaceable can be easily refuted by visiting any graveyard in the world, folks.

no, because the people that it will drive out most likely are not running a business there that cant be moved

Then why don't you see the truth about the media? You didn't even read the link I provided. It explains why you are dead wrong. But fine, stay clueless.

Also, you look down on the people you work with. I don't have time to go find the conversations we have had, but I do remember those conversations.

Upon hearing of NY state's plan to drmatically increase taxes on Resident's earning over 500,000 per year; Rush vowed to sell his NY holdings and move his operations to Texas... where there is no state income tax.

ROFLMNAO...

Ya just have to LOVE the Big guy...

Now we can hear the NY Left-heads complian about how the government LET those RICH-FOLKSmove out and take their income with them!

LOL... Leftists...

Do you plan on turning S. Carolina into the new NYC? Good luck with that.

There is a reason you pay more taxes in NY than you do in W. Virginia.

PS. Here is NY's response to Rush leaving. Classic:

Joshing Politics: Jon Stewart Tells Rush To Get The F@*& Out Of New York

NY has been trying to get Rush to leave for the longest time.

Gay pride parades
Raised price of hotdogs
He's in to drugs so we cleaned up time square
Told Indian cabbies to pretend to be middle eastern men
Etc.

The pathological liar is always threatening to leave, but he never does.

I wanna see DATA for this correlation (i.e. migration flows of the richest 1% as related to the top income tax rates), and see whether its true.

So you want to see data for your own false premise?

As a general rule, where you present a false premise, you need to bring your own data...

Who on this thread has claimed that tax rate is the only consideration for residence amongst the top 1% of income earners?

Now since no one contributing to this thread has made such an assertion, one has to wonder what you sought to accomplish by the pretense that such had.

Would we not expect states with really low tax rates (i.e. Missouri) get MORE millionaires?

Missouri has a ton of millionaires... But it's odd, given that you're the one who offers the pinnacle of reason that there are numerous considerations beyond top marginal tax rates... that you'd recognize that there are numerous considerations beyond the taxes...

For instance... the proximity to a coast line or other sought after recreation... My home town for instance, located on the SW coast of Florida, has one of the highest millionaire counts per acre on earth... and oddly enough, it also has no income taxes... Right across the state is Miami Beach... I've heard rumors that the waterway in and around Miami Beach enjoys more yachts over 100ft than 99% of the planet... and guess what... NO TAXES ON INCOME.

New York City is the hub of the financial markets... among many others, not the least of which the Entertainment industry, which is how Limbauch landed there in the first place; thus it serves reason that there would be large concentrations of wealthy people...

You want to believe that because they've tolerated high taxation in the past, that they'll tolerate any level of taxation, forever.

In fact, NY has already suffered large numbers of millionaire flight. To deny it is absurd. I make a fairly comfortable living on NY Millionaires that move to my area... and without exception, they've spent a working lifetime, spending as little time in NY as possible and yearning for the day to get out from under the confiscatory taxation of that workers paradise.

Of course, until now there has been an endless stream of people moving to NY to replace them... because of the opportunity that NY's markets present. But at some point, the cost of admission simply overwhelms the potential.

They're approaching that point... and as they promise more and more entitlements to more and more feeble minded morons; they're less able to change their policy in reaction to producer flight.

Ya see Comrade, as NY grows less able to pay those entitlements, the addleminded masses who have grown dependent upon those freebies grow restless... and a restless moron is a potentially violent moron and when you have violent morons by the MILLIONS... you got a real problem.

Under leftist governance advancing leftist economic and social policy, NY City is less than a generation from becoming the shithole it was when Gulliani came to town... a time when NY had barely sustained itself from bankruptcy for over a decade.

LOL... so go ahead Einstein, promote the unjustiable, immoral confiscation of the product of the labor of effective producers through taxation on every conceivable element of the culture... and know that when that culture again succumbs to the calamitous effects of that idiocy, that we'll be here to count you amongst those who advocated for it, and are thus responsible to those who you injured through your advocacy.

Britney Spears is going to be on welfare before the end, and then you can feel justified in screwing her over, because then she will qualify as "scum".

You're nauseating. You've admitted repeatedly you have no problem with tyranny, so long as it's the tyranny of communists.

ROFLMNAO...

'The workers' have never made anyone rich... The premise is absurd... If you want to see the wealth production which 'the workers' are capable of producing, take a peek at the Somalia... nothing BUT workers there. If "the workers' were capable of creating wealth, Somalia wouldn't look like this>>>

Well, to use the same illogic, a dollar bill never lifted a brick. You have to pay a worker to lift the brick.

In reality, it takes BOTH Capital AND Labor working together to produce wealth.The more harmoniously Capital and Labor work together, the more efficient the wealth production. To denigrate either one denigrates both.

ROFL... Hey you tell yourself whatever ya need to in order to feel better about your inadequacies.

Workers do not produce wealth, they produce products... and unlike that product, workers are a liability, not an asset.

 

[Old Rocks]

Damn, I wish he'd move his fat ass out of Florida, too. I guess he lives here for the same reason...no state income tax. The man really stinks the place up. Though, he does keep drug dealers in business...and it's just a short hop to those countries he visits with a suitcase full of Viagra. Nah, I guess we are stuck with him.

We will be happy to have him in Texas...home of that great American..."W"....

Yep, so will everybody else.

An asset, by definition, is something which is valuable in and of itself. Something that can be sold for money.

So no, they aren't an asset. They're a liability, because you have to pay them.
