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

[Anomalism]

That's not an answer to the question posed.

It is if you're good at reading.

Americans have 400 million guns. How do you think the government will deal with that?

They'll probably bomb you the moment you become organized enough to be targeted.

Wow. Just wow.

I didn't go to high school. I'm in college now.

That's unusual. Why didn't you go to high school?

It's more efficient for a child to learn from educators one on one.

You're obviously not good at reading, then.

The question:
What did the Mujahadim accomplish in Afghanistan?
Your non-answer:
We are not in Afghanistan.

Try smarter next time.

Have you graduated high school?

I didn't go to high school. I'm in college now.

Actually, most who graduate high school and are enrolled in college dont say "I dont go to high schools. Im in college now."

They say "I graduated highschool and now attend college"

Just sayin"

Pseudo-intellectualism is very unattractive. You should find a different approach.

 

[Billiejeens]

you dont have a right to tell others how to handle their potential,,,

I can vote for people that want to help people reach their potential.

But, will you?

So you have no high school degree? Or a GED?
No offense, but you don't present yourself as educated, just thoroughly indoctrinated.

My approach works fine for me.

Albeit, I find it interesting that you seem to think you know me well by one post.

Good for you.

I have an equivalent. You're trying really hard to make this all about me.

I prefer to point at Scandinavian countries. There's no doubt that they have a very different and very successful approach to education.

Yet folks come to America for the best University education. Our Universities are full of foreign immigrants.

Ours have flush toliets.

And you can sit on them.

Does anybody really believe that there is a correlation between people's wealth and the value of their contributions to society?

Seriously!?!?!

Of course

Irrelevant. One who does what one needs to do to move ahead is all that is important

 

[Reverend_Hellh0und]

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

This is like "would you step in for a million bucks and go 3 rounds with tyson" a lot of people will say yes.

but if it was "would you dedicate to daily hard training in order to prepare to fight mike tyson for a year" most would say no.


It's like business, would you risk everthing you have put in 15 hr days to build a buisness and provide employment to others most would say "no"


Therefore the whole idea of the wealthy owe is flawed.



that said, we also on the other hand should not be giving tax breaks to companies like amazon, etc.

The equivalent? Sorry, kid, you missed out on the social skills that normal people learn in high school. Probably the education, too.
You were the one who accused someone of being uneducated. It appears you were projecting.

 

[Anomalism]

A GED?

All I'm going to say is I could have passed the GED when I was 12 years old. I'll let you assume whatever you want from there.

Agreed
I was asking for clarification
