Oh stop being a ****ing moron. Do you know how utterly pathetic it sounds when you talk about taxation as theft? Every time you travel on a road you prove your own idiocy.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

No it's not theft you idiot, the rich only have the opportunity to become rich because of the infrastructure provided by society. What's especially funny is when poor people like yourself get all defensive about the tax rates of the rich, a group you are not a member of and will never be a member of.
As for letting them spend their own tax money, that's some especially stupid ****. Allowing the super rich to not contribute to the society they live in tends to lead to things like the poor lining the rich up against walls and shooting them.

The truly idiotic thing is allowing a system whereby a tiny group can claim the vast share of societies resources. There is a huge difference between allowing the hard working a larger share to reward them for their industry and the obscene income inequality which America has today. You think that people wouldn't bother working unless they were able to become billionaires? That if they could only become millionaires that no-one would bother? Wild income inequality leads to one inevitable outcome and that is social unrest. It's happened every single time it has occurred and it will happen again. It doesn't matter how much money the rich have, because there comes a point where the poor will no longer tolerate watching their children sicken and starve while others swan around decked in the lap of luxury.
If you allow the rich to collect wealth without control this will happen. Taxation acts as one of the few methods of preventing this, but the question people should be asking is why such a tiny group are being given such a lions share of the resources in the first place. Top tip: they aren't earning it in any meaningful sense.

A system where someone can 'earn' vast sums just by having vast sums is a fundemantally broken system. You think a stock broker works harder or contributes more to society than a teacher? You've bought hook, line and sinker into the oldest lie in the book, whereby if you sit and beg at masters feet he'll reward you with an occasional crumb from the table.
No the rich cannot be trusted to act in the common good, and no they aren't super special people who deserve all the best stuff. They are simply people who have a skill at making money, and nothing more. They don't always contribute to making the world better, they don't trickle down a worthwhile proportion of their wealth, and you're a sucker if you believe they do.

Imagine if a teacher, instead of being assigned a class of 20 students for one year, were assigned a class of 20 students for 12 years? Would we not be able to state that the individual impact of the teacher were far greater?

Two, those who have earned their wealth through sound investments have shown a capacity to understand the market. They serve society by continuing to finance sound investments, and society would do better allowing these people to continue to invest. The state does not make sound investments, and so, in wasting their money - the money could be put to better use by letting the very wealthy continue to manage their money wisely.

Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View PostGiven present compensation rates, the worst doctors at the bottom of their classes specialize in abortions. Keep that in mind when you hear that they are 'safe'. The market has already decided to push the good doctors into other specialties.“Along the way,” says Levantino, “you find out that you can make a lot of money doing abortions. I worked 9 to 5. I was never bothered at night. I never had to go out on weekends. And I made more money than my obstetrician brethren. And I didn’t have to face the liability. That’s a big factor, a huge perk. I almost never, ever had to worry about her lawyer bothering me.
“In my practice, we were averaging between $250 and $500 per abortion – and it was cash. It’s the one time as a doctor you can say, ‘Either pay me up front or I’m not going to take care of you.’ Abortion is totally elective. Either you have the money or you don’t. And they get it.”
Cash payment is common in the abortion industry, says Everett.
“I’ve seen doctors walk out after three hours’ work and split $4,500 dollars between them on a Saturday morning – more if you go longer into the day,” she said. “Of the four clinics I’ve worked in, none of them ever showed that they collected the doctors’ money; they collect it separately, and do not show it on any of the records in those clinics. That way, the doctors are independent contractors and the clinic doesn’t have to be concerned with their malpractice insurance, and doesn’t have to report their income to the IRS.”
“Every single transaction that we did,” adds Whitten, “was cash money. We wouldn’t take a check, or even a credit card. If you didn’t have the money, forget it. It wasn’t unusual at all for me to take $10,000 to $15,000 a day to the bank – in cash.”
Lets see, if you made $10,000 a day, multiplied by about 240 workdays in a year, that’s $2.4 million. In a year. $12 million every five years. If they make even one third of that, we’re still talking pro sports money here. But some doctors just can’t stomach it after a while…I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ...

@Ben: That's a good doggy, you go and lick your masters feet. Anyone with lots of money is clearly super clever and special and more worthwhile a person than you.
How the **** you have the cheek to claim to be christian is beyond me. Something about camels and needles ring any bells you ****ing joke of a human being?
