How much do extremely wealthy people owe to the society that gave them the chance to prosper so much?

[Cecilie1200]

Nothing. How much to extremely poor people owe the society that subsidizes their existence by overtaxing the productive?

Extremely poor people are not really capable of giving more money.

That wasn't the question, though, was it? The question was "What do they OWE?" Just more evidence that you're not really interested in what's owed, but in what you can take and rationalize.

you are aware only about 20% of useful jobs require a college degree???

The world is going to change a lot in the next 50 years. We need to focus more on education.

That’s useless. Trade training is what we need

Why do you want to confiscate what is not yours and you did not earn?

I'm not interested in engaging this tired talking point for the millionth time.

That costs money too a lot of times. We should fund it in the same way.

It’s because you won’t answer

 

[Cecilie1200]

Surely something, right? I see a lot of people talk like taxes are theft. Is it not just our obligation?

They owe nothing. Take Steve Jobs, for instance. He created a product that improved the lives of billions of people. Furthermore he provided jobs for hundreds of thousands of people. If anything, society owed him, not the other way around.

Not only did he provide jobs for people directly, but he also created markets for other companies to be started in support of his (or in competition), which then also provided jobs.

I don't understand why any patriot wouldn't want some of the money they will take from us either way to go towards empowering our nation through education.

Oh bullshit you asshat! Companies will pay for that training. You really show off your ignorance well

I already did. Y'all didn't accept my answer.

the only problem with education is government involvement,,

Not always I believe.

 

[Cecilie1200]

How nice. We're familiar with how conservatives think because we're the conservatives in question. Hopefully, you'll agree that firsthand knowledge beats secondhand stories.

He didn't need to explain his point further. I understand the way he sees it.

Okay, apparently you're one of the "geniuses" who feels you know far more about other people than they do about themselves, because of . . . whatever superiority you're imagining for yourself.

Noted, and I will make sure to adjust my expectations of you accordingly.

Either that or you need one in reading.

We don't want the money taken from us, moron. A patriot doesn't support organized plunder.

It is a fact, not a talking point. Why is it okay to confiscate what is not yours and you did not earn. Simple question. Why so difficult to answer?

No. I just understand the perspective. I still don't see it the way you do.
