Tax the rich!!! pt. 2

[MRT144]

this is a continuation of the tax the rich thread. In it we discussed marginal tax rate comparisons over time, estate tax (or death tax for the dumbasses), what makes a good life, the desire to provide a basic quality of life to people, how liberal and conservative are gross general characterizations, and what kidicious said about something some time ago.

You mean you're no longer just a one-trick pony about capitalists and the rich doing nothing? Otherwise, it couldn't be a threadjack, it would just be a continuation of the same thread by another name.

You're biased, 'cause you're rich.

And people who don't have kids don't like it when people pass on money to their children

ESTATE TAX!!!

So what we know is that the very rich are certainly much richer than the rest of us, and that they holda huge percentage of the wealth-without an estate tax it would even be more lobsided today than it is in this country.

Ah, MtG remembers as well.

Kid, what I said was that the specific thread I was hoping to find was buried deep, and so I presented other examples of the same thinking. I quoted you. The quotes show you making sweeping generalizations about rich people being lazy exploiters. Which is the thing I accused you of and you deny.

What I'm having trouble finding is the very first thread we argued in. I figure it's gotta be in early to mid '03, since you registered in March '03. But I can't remember the title. So I was looking at all threads that mentioned communism or capitalism in the title and had more than a couple of hundred posts.

I know the thread exists, and so do you. But you don't want me to find it, since I will then be able to provide even more quotes that support my accusation, which you claim is false.

Damn, this is getting kinda silly. My post in the other thread was intended as a mild jab. You got all upset, denied, which pissed me off, and here we are being ridiculous.

Friday afternoon, baby. Productivity, weee!

Well, Ming - don't you know they've been unjustifiably privileged to benefit from our exploitation of the masses, so not only should all our assets be forfeit to the state, but our kids should be forced to labor in state run coal mines and sweat shops to make up for all the advantages they gained from our own labor.

That's why you are turning into a liberal. See how biased you are.

One needn't be a liberal to think Bush inept.
