The New Nobles

You go ahead and do that, SIKLORD. I'll lead the revolution to overthrow you, which won't be very short in coming once you pull the rug out from underneath the economy.

:sigh:

shall i conceded defeat ad call it quits (for now at least)?

Yeah... i probably should, being so vastly outnumberd and outgunned I shall beat a hasty, dishonorable retreat.

DAmn, i hate it when I have to do that.

Another day.....

[Spiffor]

Are you a surrender-monkey or what ?

[chequita guevara]

Yes, but does he eat cheese?

[SKILORD]

Alright, go ahead, i'll reply, i'll fight back if you feel I must.

[Spiffor]

OK then :

Do you feel you are living off society when you walk on lit streets ?

(look at my long post above if you want the context)

TASATAAFL - there ain't such a thing as a free lunch. If you want police protection, clean water, military to protect your arse. You better damn well pay for them.

And if it truely must, why does it seek to discriminate against the wealthy? I am not a wealthy person, but my heart goes out to them whenever it comes time to pay taxes, they see massive percentages of their tax dollars seized, through threat of force, and imprisonment, to help those they will likely never see. Those who dare to exploit us, the common worker, alongside our wealthier bretheren.

Yeah right. I direct your attention to Laz's excellent thread.

[SKILORD]

well, it's more honorable for me to fight now and hope this thread dies as I sleep.

I never said there should be no taxation, i simply opposed Taxation without representation, Taxation in which only an elite few reap rewards while everyone foots the bill. If you wish to have a government they must offer services for all taxpayers, not just a few.

I think half the stuff our government offers is totally uneccesarry, governments are designed to provide freedoms and maintin them (and, i will concede) grant those things out of the individual's reach, not to serve the poor, not to do anything other than simply protect rights and help everyone not a select few, every taxpaying citizen.

As for the CEO's that's sad, but you know what? It's nothing to with me. I don't pay their salaries. I pay the salaries of everyone on welfare.

As for Boris's teaher: I'll bet you the factory wouldn't have had to close if it had less taxes to pay (weak argument here, but i might as well throw it up)

[SKILORD]

ooooh... listen to the silence, the 'fake leaving and then make little arguments' ruse worked...

every time, every time...

So, the poor are the nobility of the world nowadays??

[Spiffor]

IIUC, you agree about pretty everything the State does except welfare ?

[SKILORD]

what does IIUC stand for, before i answer that.

Your ignorance, self-righteousness and idiotism really amaze me.

No, i don't care if they pay more taxes than the rich, i opose the rich having to pay a higher percent than them, but i understand that they make more, through the American way of life, and thus owe more to the government. This is the ay the raw percent system works out. The way it is though the percent rises every few (every?) tax bracket. This is wrong, because we are discriminating against the wealthy.

I think it is "If I understand correctly"
