France's top court:UNCONSTITUTIONAL to levy 75% tax on rich

[JakeStarkey]

Such a white trash statement.

Joe is the kind of pissed off white trash that goes down to the Post Office and shooters people mailing their Christmas gifts because he doesn't believe in anything but himself and the nanny state that supports him. Once the nanny state lets him down......he goes after other people.

Shitbag....our society is richer today than it was when assholes like you were stealing from the rich.

Most people back in the 30s lived on farms or crammed into big city apartments, while the rich lived on huge estates. They didn't have luxury items like cars, HDTVs, PS3s, vacations to Florida....they were really poor compared to today's so-called poor.

Now that most Americans are living better lifestyles due to more personal wealth, they need to pay something and the rich should not be paying over 50% of their wealth to support other people like you. 93% tax rate???? You're a ******* communist.

75% is paying a fair share?? lol

He actually subscribes to the government being able to come and steal 93% of a person's income. I still can't wrap my head around that.. This is what the subjects of Nazi Germany must have looked like..or Stalinist Russia.

We did that in the UNITED STATES. The Top rate was 93% from 1940 to 1962. (And that is when JFK lowered it to 70%, which is still pretty reasonable).

During that time period, we had the world's strongest economy and military, we built an interstate highway system that was the envy of the world, we had public schools that were effective, and we had the strongest industrial base on the planet.

And we did this under a raging socialist named Dwight D. Eisenhower. Wrap your head around that.

Republicans actually used to practice fiscal responsibility.

Both of you are white trash, but I believe you would only be able to drive the get away car for Joe....both of you should be locked up for mental problems.

I think the 99% would be quite satisfied if the wealthy paid anywhere near 50%.

That truly is communism. When you want the government to come in and confiscate 93% of everything you make through your own hard work-- then redistribute it- COMMUNISM.

God is love, GB, and I suggest you reconsider your statement about JoeB below in light of that. Or perhaps you consider yourself a good Christian.

I don't blame "God" for anything.

I don't think God exists.

RELIGION causes misery, because by it's definition, cannot tolerate dissent.

The fact that people went around killing each other over whether wafers really turned into Jesus or not and God did nothing about it is proof there is no God.

Second, I was really trying to be nice and quote scripture that almost makes your Sky Pixie seem like a decent fellow.

I'll admit, anyone who reads a bible that contains verses like,

"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." -- Psalm 137:9

Probably hasn't really read the bible. Just the good parts that the pastors tell you to.

"It's not the parts of the bible I don't understand that trouble me, it's the parts I understand perfectly well." - Mark Twain.

Satan would be proud of you for speaking his words....well done, Joe.

Yah know what, bud. Reading the bible, Satan kills all of 10 people during the course of it. He kills the ten children of Job on a bar bet with God he can get Job to curse God's name.

Meanwhile, God drowns everyone in the world save 8 people, destroys whole cities, orders genocides, kills every first born child in Egypt, kills David's baby to show him adultery is wrong, let's Jephthah butcher his daughter on a foolish bet.

I'm just having a hard time figuring out which fictional character is the "evil" one in that book.

Oh, and by the way, Mark Twain was a socialist....go figure.

Was he?

Frankly, given the fact that Capitalism in Twain's day looked like this...

can you really blame him?

Like I said, Satan would be proud of you.

Socialism wouldn't have stopped that picture you have shown...."bud". And, you have been outted as a full blown socialist....maybe a communist. I bet you belong to the DSA, huh?

 

[asterism]

OH my God, somewhere a Rich person might be paying his fair share!!!!

We can't have that!

75% is fair to you?

OH my God, somewhere a Rich person might be paying his fair share!!!!

We can't have that!

Stealing 75% of what someone earns is paying their fair share?! Show me where you are entitled to another hard working American's income?

Ever hear, "Thou shall not covet?" That means get your hands and greedy eyes off of what others have. Don't like it? Take it up with God himself.

First, I don't believe in your God or your bible. Your "God" is a fraud to keep stupid people like you in line. I'm vastly more evolved.

Second, if you are making seven or eight figures, it's because you are stealing from the people who are doing the actual work. Shit, we give 8 figures to CEO's when their companies need to be bailed out by the government, that gives the government the right to take that money back.

Let's say I own a telemarketing call center where everyone gets paid fair with benefits, they are all happy. Through no extra effort by the employees, profit one year reaches $1,000,000 due to a temporary deal I have struck with a vendor. How is that stealing?

"Eisenhower was of Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry and was reared in a large family in Kansas by parents with a robust work ethic and religious background."

So much for his mentor..

And we did this under a raging socialist named Dwight D. Eisenhower. Wrap your head around that.

How many were on food stamps, medicare, and welfare back then? Was the SS fund being raided by the politicians? Now it's a career and we can no longer afford it even if we taxed the wealthy 100%. So just who are you trying to kid?

Those are different arguments, and if you want to talk about those, I'd be happy to do so.

Yes, I think it's awful that the politicians raided the Social Security Trust fund and I think it's awful that there are people (albeit a much smaller group than the Right Wing wants you to beleive) that think they should live off the government their whole lives.

My ideal world is that everyone should have a job who can physically work a job, and it should be a job that pays a fair and decent living wage.

But you complain about food stamps, and the reality is, 40% of food stamp recipiants have one person in the family who have a job. Just not a job that pays enough to put food on the table.

And this is the argument I've been making for some time here that most of you dance around. When you replace good paying union/manufacturing jobs with crappy McJobs that pay nothing so that the Mitt Romneys of the world can have more money, those working folks don't go off and obediently starve.

They go to the government for help. And then they vote for more of that stuff.

Is that what happened under FDR, HT, DE: redistribution? Or did the middle class grow and become self-sufficient and a threat to the the money overlords?

75% is fair to you?

He actually wants 93% of an individuals income to be taken away by the government.

 

[JakeStarkey]

In your opinion, I imagine. But your brain is lopsided morally and spiritually, so I am not concerned about your interpretation of what Jesus thought.

I do counsel you to seek relief in His love.

Jesus was not afraid to speak the truth about evil people.....both of you are evil.

[GoneBezerk]

Once JFK realized taxing rich people to death was holding back our economy, we had advances in technology due to private investement which helped create the world we have today where scum like Joe come here telling us about the good ole days of living on a farm and only owning 1 cow.

People in the 30s had no visions of smartphones, laptops, flying from LA to London non-stop, curing many medical problems, etc.....but of course we need to go back to the "good ole days" because scum like Joe feel rich people have too much stuff today.

I just can't seem to accept the fact that at one time Americans had to pay 93% of their
earning to the government.There had to be some sort of drug in the water supply that prevented people from overthrowing the government back then.

And we have quite a few here I'm sure that would like to go back to that rate.

 

[asterism]

The lowest and dumbest animal in the forest doesn't believe in a God. You are a primate. Hardly evolved, and barely cognizant of your own existence.

The rich are paying their fair share and it is not enough to fund the greed of people who want more.

We can't have that, can we?

35% is the lowest the rich have paid in our history, and our economy has worked better when they pay more.

The top Rate was 93% in the 1950's.. and that was a golden age of America.

Sorry, just because you are scared of death and need to tell yourself a fairy story about a nice man who will make you happy for all eternity, doesn't not make you more evolved than a monkey.

You are just putting more thought into your death fears...

I'd gladly go back to the 1950s and all those loopholes, deductions, offshore tax havens, etc. There was no Medicare tax, no Obamacare tax, no Alternative Minimum Tax, and I could use losses from one company to offset gains from another.

What stopped that picture was the progressive movement, led by Theodore Roosevelt (Gosh, another Republican doing the right thing. What went wrong?)

You can scream "socialist" all day, but the fact is, what you guys advocate, letting the wealthy do whatever they want on the hope they will share their benificence, doesn't work.
