Wow... Orwell doublespeak in action! Hooray!I wonder how much freedom and liberty concerns those with an empty stomach, or those ill and in constant pain. The argument that someone whose income (and I expressly used the word income, not earned, because many of the wealthiest Americans inhertited great wealth, they didn't earn it) is above the median in America today is deprived of freedom because they pay income tax is ridiculous.
The argument for a flat or fair tax is foolish. There is nothing fair about someone working at Wal-Mart - a company inherited by siblings who are in the top 1% paying the same percentage of income tax as one of their 'assoiciates' - is laughable and stupid.
Those who suggest such a plan is beneficial to anyone, including the Wal-Mart owners, hasn't considered the consequences of and reality of the global economy. It is self evident that allowing the smallest percentage of Americans to own and control the greatest amount of wealth is a dead end propostion.
I won't explain why again, the willfully ignorant who're advocating such a plan - a flat tax - as fair and appropriate are simply echoing the propaganda of the plutocrats. An average brain critically thinking can easily see the consequences. Economic slavery should not be a part of the American dream.
Your envy of their wealth does not entitle you to any portion it they do not wish to give. You also have no deferred right to anyone's wealth, work, achievement or ability due to your need, though it should always be encouraged to be given FREELY, not by fiat. Nor does their wealth prevent you from going out and EARNING your own. It is when they abuse their wealth to prevent you from gaining your own, that they are the ones in the wrong.
The politics of envy ladies and gentlemen. On display for your viewing pleasure. Not for the faint of heart or weak of mind... you'll think it has actual merit.
Oooh wow! Look at the green-eyed monster of jealousy dance on top of his soapbox. Once again, because they were fortunate to be born rich does not mean that they do not deserve the same rights to that wealth as you would an inheritance. Personally, I think you're pissed that it wasn't you that is one of them. I further bet the instant you somehow get real wealth from an outside source (Uncle Sugar ain't gonna give it to you, obviously work isn't so you better hope Powerball or rich relative does) you'd change your tune so fast and abuse your wealth to keep the poor away from you, your hat would spin. Nothing worse than a class crusader who makes it. You should see how fucked up millionaire football players become when they suddenly realize they have BECOME that 1% they were trained to hate in the ghetto all their life.
Yet the laws of economics say otherwise. Sorry, but you've gotta do much much better to prove your concept of class envy is more effective than capitalism. The idea of preventing abuse of power through anti-monopoly and anti-trust laws is a good thing for it prevents market totalitarianism. The US has it, but few other countries, specifically COMMUNIST countries have that. The government IS the monopoly which forces you by gun and tax to support it in whatever failing enterprise it begins. The rampant hypocrisy of such a philosophy that a few hands controlling wealth is laughable when you talk with a communist.
I won't explain why again, the willfully ignorant who're advocating such a plan - a flat tax - as fair and appropriate are simply echoing the propaganda of the plutocrats. An average brain critically thinking can easily see the consequences. Economic slavery should not be a part of the American dream.
And actual slavery to government should be? Communist systems are all based on enslaving the proletariat to the party. Your crazed demagoguery based on psychotic ideology has lead you so far away from clear, rational thought, it's not even cute anymore. If government would remain strictly in the regulatory realm and leave the markets to play out within well defined rules (including PARTICULARLY rules that dissuade monopolistic control and trusts) this nation would be far better off and economically healthier under 10 companies versus one government.
But it just goes to show your envy permeates everything you preach.
Listen carefully, I earn much more than most of you clowns on the right. Simply google any local, state or fedeal HR web site and see the salaries earned in law enforcement agencies in urban American by top managers. Envy is what motivates the Tea Party mentality, it's my retirement income and benefits which I earned that makes you and your kind green with envy.
You are an ideologue, not thoughtful and controlled by your emotions and biases. Worse you are willfully ignorant, unable to see the direction our nation is headed, because you never question your opinons. Your side controlls the rhetoric, simply because integrity isn't factored into it; win at any cost, the ends justify the means and never admit even to yourself the course is wrong and the plan needs to be evaluated and corrected. Such an ideoology is fundamentally flawed and that is why I post what I do, envy is never a factor (I have seen first hand the trappings of great wealth, it ain't always pretty).

Then why do you think you deserve it? By your own logic and ideological purity you deserve none of it and must give it all to the poor or bring yourself down at least equal to them. You pledging to do that yet? It's a great idea when it's not you being forced to 'give' isn't it? Thank you for illustrating the ethical bankruptcy of collectivist and socialist dogma.

By my conservative ethics, I am more than happy you can earn such a living. Mind you if it was my community and I found out you were a desk sergeant making extreme dough, I'd be voting out the politicians that made such a bad economic deal... but that's me. I want fiscal responsibility so I can keep the hit on my wallet light so I can afford a better place to live too. But if you actually got money from the private sector (meaning paying customers) I've no cause to disagree with whatever you paid yourself or got paid by your boss.

Mr. Pot, Mr Kettle. Mr. Kettle, Mr. Pot. I never denied such. I can't help it if my ideals have been arrived at by cool, rational logic and a visceral distaste for elitist assholes like you. We are all prisoners of our own biases, and to claim otherwise as you imply you are by such a statement, is the height of stupidity and intellectual dis-ingenuity.
Worse you are willfully ignorant, unable to see the direction our nation is headed, because you never question your opinons.
Name a single person on this planet that DOES question their opinions and I'll show you two liars. The one you name and yourself. Willfully ignorant of the direction our nation is going on the other hand? Hardly. I see probably far better than you for I learn from history and see how often it repeats by ignorant fools playing with the hobgoblins of ignorance in games of foolish consistency.
Your side controlls the rhetoric, simply because integrity isn't factored into it; win at any cost, the ends justify the means and never admit even to yourself the course is wrong and the plan needs to be evaluated and corrected.
Wow! Such projection! I've rarely seen this level of utter denial of self while transposing your very nature on others!... well rarely for today. We are very much on the wrong course. The course your ilk proscribes is precisely the road to destruction I desire ended. We've put up with it for 80 years too long with the growth of out of control progressivism which should have peaked and died decades ago.

You proved yourself the liar the instant you complained over the heirs of Walmart being born into a fortune. I have seen great wealth in my life too, personally. I've know the rich as well as having spent a little time with the truly wealthy. Both deserve the fruits and consequences of their actions and property as well as legacy and lineage. On the other hand, your whining about them belies the truth when you couple it with your original elitist statements on how well off YOU are. And yet you remain unwilling to subject yourself to the same ideological purity you would demand of them.
Please Fly Watcher. All you've done is proven your intellectual, ethical and moral bankruptcy. Quit trying to preach your sob-sister religion to those who see clearly what a priest of hypocrisy you are.
