Is Profit Different from Unfair Tax?

Is Profit Different from Unfair Tax Pt. 2

You participated quite a bit in the above two, Arrian.

New Communism vs. Capitalism Thread

I've got some of the others saved on my computer at work. If these aren't them, let me know and I'll send ya the links.

Oh, this helps me a lot Rocky.

I think we have adequate proof, Kid.

Yes, but pretty much any thread with Kid in it reaches 500 posts....

[Arrian]

You're really starting to irritate me now, Kid. I'm not just making baseless accusations about you. I participated in those threads with you, and distinctly remember them. It just takes more effort than I really care to devote in order to search through each thread and find the stuff I'm looking for, quote it and link it. Having said that, I've quoted you now from the "Profit is unfair tax" thread, a link to which was provided by JohnT. I believe I was quoting from about page 16 of the thread.

I'm having a hard time believing that you don't remember saying what you said back then about lazy rich people exploiting people.

You certainly do find plenty of time to post here, and archive threads.

What a brilliant riposte, that was! I also find plenty of time to play with my daughter, love my wife, and eat. What I don't have time for is trying to figure out why the problems of my life are caused by the actions of others.

No, I saved the threads, not just the links.

I've been curious how megs does this storage entail?

That's not what you said. You said getting rich was a result of working hard. It's not.

Che: They are still perviding a service. That is use of their capital.

What, because you don't want to take the effort to (dis)prove whatever it is your accusing Arrian of?

To repeat myself: Communism is a religion of the lazy, used to rationalize their laziness and right to laziness.

Still not exactly what I was looking for, but close.

You have absolutely nothing, but a threadjack.

The threads on my home computer weigh in about 50 megs, the ones on my office machine weigh in about 100 or so.

[KrazyHorse]

This is the greatest thread ever.

I'm telling you that you didn't understand what I was saying at the time. Why is that so hard to grasp?

[Arrian]

Ok, let's recap what was said in THIS thread, Kid, by you and I:

No one is really clear on what you do propose, other than that rich people are bad and lazy and don't deserve their money.

-Arrian


No people with specific characteristics are bad. Those characteristics create their bias though, with the rare exception of those who are capable of seeing their own bias and willing to think outside of it.

Whatever, Kid. I was there for the capitalist/communist threads. I remember your posts about rich people. Come on now, you know what you said... repeatedly and at length.

Anyways, I really don't want to rehash that now.

-Arrian


I don't make generalizations about people. If you have proof present it (in context please).

Oh COME ON! You are going to pretend that you didn't make sweeping generalizations about rich people?

It would almost be worth it to search for the old threads and quote you. Almost. But not quite. I'm leaving now to go take my dog to training class (he needs it, ok, he's a rescue and his former owner didn't do **** with him, which is of course one of the reasons I now have him). Maybe tomorrow if this thread is still active.

-Arrian


You misunderstood me. Why won't you accept what I'm telling you now, that I'm not classist against rich people?

So we're arguing over whether or not you are classist against rich people. Yes, this is in fact a threadjack. But it's pissed me off now, and I'm pursuing it.

I have presented evidence that you are, in fact, classist. I have also posed a question you have not yet answered: if you're a communist, are you not therefore supposed to be classist? What's wrong with it from a communist perspective?
