I would prefer a tax increase to 100%

Hey, I've earned my money. Granted, it's not much, but they take out A LOT of money from my paychecks. Okay, so it's not in the thousands...but those couple hundred bucks would really help me out. But I'm not getting anything from this tax cut.

Bah! Tax cut my a**. They should count us too, dang it!

Lancer, are you really that much a fanboy of the rich, or of right wing politics that you buy into the whole "fairness" model of taxes.

[Jon Miller]

nobody truly earns the money they make

everything is interconnected now

what you produce is dependent on everyone else

so your producton (and so your money) should be shared by all

and you get what you need

so your producton (and so your money) should be shared by all

and you get what you need

So then no one works anymore and nothing is made or shared .

This guys knows what he's talking about.

MRT, I work as a freight ape on graveyard shift at a mega store. Driving hysters, splitting pallats of frieght by hand. Good honest work. Last year I got $600 of my hard earned money back. I'm fairly well off, but there are single mothers working there during the day for whom that money made a real difference. It was, after all, their money...

it would probably be that if you didn't produce anytihng, you didn't get anything (unless someone who was producing was willing to keep you up)

[Imran Siddiqui]

But you said your production should be shared by all, and then you get what you need.

My production might be 0, but I still need stuff .

Does your recent addition mean that if I produce ANYTHING, I get all that I need? So I could work part time at the Target and get all my food and stuff?

[Lancer]

Well, that seems to have set them back a bit.

Imran, you guys sound like you're talking about the Soviet Union. Eventually everyone quit working...then the Soviet Union quit working as well.

[Jon Miller]

I think you could work part time at target, and purchase lifes nessicites now, even with how much the rich skim off the top

Jon Miller

[Imran Siddiqui]

What do you consider necessities?

Do you mean that everyone only gets enough food to eat? What about TV, internet access (Poly access )? Is the state going to provide that too? Part time at Target right now won't get me all that (barely get me enough food).

[Lancer]

Jon, it's not Target, and "the rich" that "skim off the top" built the place, and gave me a job. I accepted the wage offered, a good insurance package, and the financial risk is basicly theirs. I see no reason to resent or covet their profits, if they are making any...

[Jon Miller]

well, remember right now the rich are skimming off the hard work of others

unfortunately there might ahve to be a couple different classes

like those who work 40 horsu a week, and those who work 20 hrsuo a week

and some jpobs would probaby have extra holidays or shorter housr or soemthing (like hwo many peopel want to be trashmen??)
