No, because you can be a good rich person. Ask Mellon.
In order to be good, you have to have a choice. Being good is a gift that comes with our agency.
The more politicians take money from people, rich or poor, the less choices we have to do good.
How can they be good if you refuse to give them the chance to be?
And how many do you really think would do good if it was really up to them? Hell you see the attitude of some of the people on this board. For goodness sake, one of the members here bragged about how much food they waste every month. Now let me say this... it's hard to tell how many people on here are who they say they are. It's also impossible to know if how the people act on here actually act like that in real life. Some people think that on places like forum you get people that act and say certain things not because it is really who they are, but the forum gives them a chance to be "cool" and say whatever the majority of others say. Some also say that a person's TRUE personality comes out on these forums because people don't have to worry about any recourse for their actions.
I really don't know. But what I do know is... in MY life, I've seen very few REALLY rich people that treated everyone with respect, let alone helped people in need out of the goodness of their hearts.
You don't think they are good enough so you think you can steal what you want from them?
Do you have any idea how to create wealth? You do it by serving people. You provide goods and services that other people want and needs. And the better, more efficiently, you meet the needs of more and more people, the more wealth you create.
That's the problem with progressive income taxes. In doesn't make the wealthy pay more. The wealthy already have their money. The so called 1% of the income bracket that pays the most income tax are those citizens who have worked the hardest providing goods and services to others and been good at it. It prevents "new" money and protects "old" money.
Which is why rich democrats don't care. It keeps people from competing with them
Steal is your word... don't put words in my mouth.
No, you know how most people get rich? They undercut the value of another person's hard work, by paying them less than they deserve.
You're right. Robbery is a more accurate term. The use of force to take money from a person or group of people.
And I don't have to put words in your mouth. That's what it is no matter what you want to call it.
And the market determines how much someone deserves for their labor. When two people contract to do a certain job for a certain amount and that amount is fully paid, how can you possibly say they deserved more than what they agreed to?
Wrong. If you are going to continue to try and put words in my mouth then this is end of discussion. Capiche?
