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

[JoeB131]

Good question.

For those playing along at home, in my straight job, I'm a buyer. In the last 4 1/2 years, I've found half a million in savings on purchases, from doing little things like replacing white boxes with brown boxes, (which are cheaper) to getting a deal on a CNC machine thta saved 50K.

My salary and benefits did not equal anywhere near 500K for that time period.

It was used to cover other parts of the business that lost money hand over fist.

So you think you're entitled to the $500K? Is that it?

Using his logic, um... yeah, I would be.

Remember the original argument was that if he found a million dollars in savings by negotiating with a vendor, he should be able to keep it.

As you can see the progressive democrat fascists are spitting mad about France not toeing the fascist line. Weird world were France is doing something that the US should be doing.

Please define 'socialism' and give us concrete, objective examples our government is socialistic.

Socialism is government control of the economy. Examples of socialism are the following.

Public schools.
public universities
social security
Medicare
Medicaid
welfare
virtually any government program
government regulations.

Wow, you are making SOcialism sound pretty awesome. All those things are wonderful.

They all stink. They are fucking up this country.

That doesn't answer my question.

How am I stealing by realizing gains from risks I took while still taking care of my employees?

When I meet an employer who does that, I'll let you know...

Ignorance on your part is no excuse for bad policy. You really have no facts it appears. The President makes millions from book sales every year. Who is he stealing from?

Damn straight, I own the company and I take care of my employees. What entitles the government to more of it?

He's the owner, dipstick. You're an employee. He makes the decisions about who gets what. If you don't like it, find another job.

The only thing I see fucking up the economy is that 10% of the population has 90% of the wealth and don't want to pay their fair share in taxes.

The fact if you didn't have a government, you wouldn't have a business?

Let's say we had no government. No garbage pickup outside your business. No electric unless you put a generator in the basement. No internet. No Police to protect your property. No running water.

And no legal recourse if your vendor who you saved a million dollars with sent you crap product and ran off with your money.

 

[Antares]

Stupid people take things to an illogical conclusion when they have no real argument.

What makes Joe a hypocrite is thet he has NEVER vouluntarily sent an extra dime to the Gov.

He just whines and cries that the "rich" don't pay their "fair" share.

Never mind that you could CONFISCATE their ENTIRE incomes and NEVER touch the deficit.

Go ahead, deny when you are caught out.

Caught?? ROFLMAO Caught what???? Having an opinion?

Stuttering is common when you have been caught.

I'll ask you one more time. CAUGHT WHAT?! It's not difficult to answer.

Splendid idea, let's try it.

Look, we produce 16 Trillion a year in Goods and services, and we only spend 4 trillion on the government. Please don't try to tell me that the money isn't there.

[Antares]

Don't deflect, my point stands.

Now, how much EXTRA will you send in for 2012?

Not one penny until the rich start paying their fair share.

Thanks for asking.

[JoeB131]

I pay a fair share, given what I make. Not to mention that I spent 11 years in the military.

I've done my bit for President and Country, thanks. The rich can do theirs...

Sorry..It doesn't work that way.. Fair is everyone paying the same so go write Uncle Sam a check handing over 93% of everything you make and everything you have. Scan it and then set up an intermediary so we can prove you actually send it to the US Government.. WE WANT PROOF..

^^^^^^^^^^ This is the true face of a COMMUIST. He will DEMAND your money, nearly all of it but the rules don't apply to him ..

You don't seem to understand how this works. We had an election.

Romney ran on cutting rich people's taxes.

Obama ran on raising rich people's taxes.

Obama won.

That's how Democracy works.

The rich need to pay their fair share. When they pay their fair share, we have prosperity.

Incidently, my taxes will go up regardless. When the Social Security Holiday expires, my tax rate will increase by 2% of my total income. A 2% i never saw when it was cut because the State of Illinois raised state income taxes by 2%.
