Why we have to redistribute income through taxes

[ilia25]

The problem is obvious to anyone capable of reading charts. Unfortunately, most right wingers aren't that bright.

You chart is bullshit because the ave size of the American family has been decreasing drastically for the last several decades.

A chart that says that, is the reason why GOVERNMENT must step in, in violation of the Constitution?

And he says right-wingers aren't very bright?

It's sort of like saying that since he can't keep his shoes tied, that's a reason why GOVERNMENT should step in with some kind of "program" to fix the problem.

Plutocrats need to STFU, pay their taxes, ride their goldplated jet skis and be thankful we haven't eaten them alive yet.

 

[MrZartok]

The income/wealth that is produced is earned by somebody. That is, someone is taking an investment risk. Why would anyone think that they are entitled to a distribution if they do nothing to earn it? This is essentially what you are saying. Someone advocating redistribution or rallying against income/wealth disparity is really asking for a handout - something for nothing.

The person originating this thread has no clue about economics.

That argument was refuted many times (e.g. increasing women participation in the labor force negate the effect of shrinking households).

Your interpretation of the Constitution is flawed. And even if it wasn't, then it would mean the Constitutions had failed to serve the interests of the people and should have been amended.

The revolution will not be televised...because there will be no revolution. The revolutionary-wannabes are too lazy to un-ass the couch.

what happens when they run of people to TAX?

almost 47% of people are on some form of government assistance ALREADY

I guess we'll be in what they call that, liberal UTOPIA

But they do. Nobody has earned their fortune in an empty space -- they did it while leaving in the society, using the rules that everyone is following. That is why it is only fair to set up the rules (including taxation) so that most people would benefit, not just the lucky few.

Hard work and risk taking should be rewarded -- but making hundreds times more than someone working full time is ridiculous. Nobody is working 4000 hours weeks.

Income Taxes don't go to Gov't to be "re-distributed". They go direct to the Federal Reserve via their collection arm the I.R.S.

You wanna' "redistribute" wealth? Simple. Just eliminate ALL Federal and State taxes on anyone making 250,000 or less. (I would have 35-40% MORE to spend immediately)

Cut out the middleman.

The US Constitution is meant to provide a frame work to manage a union of STATES, the only provision in it that should effect the daily lives of individuals is to make sure you get your mail. Now show me where I got it wrong, quote the Constitution.

I have never heard of a Democrat holding another Democrat to this system. It's a smoke and mirrors argument that targets middle-class Republican citizens. Anybody eating Angelina Jolie's liver about her income per shoot? Nope! Anybody holding Oprah's feet to the fire because she has a billion-dollar piggy bank? Nope! Any Democrat ranking on John Kerry for marrying a rich Republican billionaire widow after dumping his mere millionaire wife of many years? Nope!

Democrats are seen as savvy when they make the big bucks. Let a Republican rise by the sweat of his or her brow, and it's take it away, Crusader and redistribute the hell outta da man!

There are some for whom if they could get someone to work 4000 hours a week legally, and this while they get richer off of such a thing, and the worker gets poorer, then trust me they would do it.

And another thing, one does see it all across this nation as it goes on, and especially in construction work, where it is found to be the case that no one is minding the re-incarnated old plantation owners tactics or ways anymore, and therefore he is simply getting away with greediness that surpasses his ancestors by a long shot. Now when they are called on the carpet for it, they squirm as bad as Bill Ayers was doing during that Kelly file interview, and they will try and squirm their way out of it just as good as that old radical minded Bill Ayers did also.

Now I am never for forced redistribution, clever taxing schemes for redistribution or even reparations of any kind on such things like that, but I am for shaming companies who treat and abuse the American workers badly, and especially for the reasons of GREED in which they do it.

Wow!

Government should just take over all our decision making. Clearly, we can't be trusted to spend our money wisely.
