@wildgrass saidAll relative. Rail on. You fellers cannot even define rich. Bernie said $250K is rich. BTW You have never answered my question, for instance, what is fair share? So what am I supposed to say to your post?
Lol nice try.
Small businesses owner's ain't rich by any stretch of imagination.

@wildgrass saidWhy don't you pick one of your oints and do a thread on it? It ix funny that libs think we can respond to a post that is full of liberal misunderstandings.
Maybe an example will help.
Walmart makes billions in profit. Good for them. Their workers are also one of the largest corporate users of social service programs.
Walmarts profits are distributed to shareholders. Free market system and all that. But those profits are subsidized by average Joe and his tax contribution to pay for Walmart workers to eat food. They use so ...[text shortened]... food at Walmart.
Winning the lotto is different from what these folks are doing. They're robbing
And I love you saying "Walmart Makes Billions in Profit...Good For Them">. Good for them? Hey libs, I am confused. Wildgrass says all the billions in the pockets of Sam Walton's heirs (unearned, by god!! Inherited, by God!!) is OK with him, it is OK with Wildgrass. Wildgrass says he has no problem with billionaires. You better send him a PM to get him back on your pitiful baseless narratives!!!!
What a laugh.

Y'all are such a misguided mess. Hey, have you tuned into what is going on with the New Whistleblower, Devon Archer? Naaaa, probably not, your main interest of the day is that Elon Musk is changing the Twitter Logo to an "X". Oh goodness, call all your friends! I would wager that you already have. Who cares about corruption.
@averagejoe1 saidI was replying to your post about the "dependents" of society. Just wanted to make sure you include the billionaires and Walmart stock holders as "dependents".

@averagejoe1 saidNo, he didn't. He did say that those with over $250,000 household income a year (which is about the 93rd percentile in the US) could pay more in taxes than they do now. Considering how income inequality has greatly increased in the country since 1980 while the tax burden on higher incomes has decreased, that's hardly unreasonable.

@wildgrass saidI have a lot of WMART stock. Do you define that as my being a dependent, or being dependent, or, what? I own the stock. In effect, I own a piece of the company....a share of the company. Wha 'chu talkin' bout??

@averagejoe1 saidYes Walmart and all Walmart shareholders are government dependents. Us taxpayers subsidize your profits.

@no1marauder saidSorry I said that Bernie said $250K is rich. Silly me. But can we assume that when he sees a guy at $250K, he is sayin' g'dam man, you need to pay more in taxes.

Now, Maruader, come down out of the clouds for a moment and acknowledge what he was saying...."YOu are in in the chips (rich) man, so you need to give us more money to support losers etal"

@wildgrass saidTYhis is the thpe of forum response that takes a 90degree turn to nowhere.

I bought a few shares of a textile company recently. Where am I dependent on the company? Where am I dependent on the govt? You sure you want to do this?. You and Marauder have been Shredding Creds of late.
@averagejoe1 saidI answered your question directly. If you can't handle it, don't ask the question.

@wildgrass saidI won't ask it anymore, but apparently the anxiously-awaited answer did not come through. You prob realized that I have no dependent connection to govt by owning shares of Walmart, except to pay taxes on my returns.
I answered your question directly. If you can't handle it, don't ask the question.
@averagejoe1 saidYour idea that average working families are composed of "losers" is predictable from a right wing shill.

@no1marauder saidDid I say 'composed of"? Whew, truly abysmal.

@averagejoe1 saidHere's an article by Bernie Sanders saying why he'll vote against the $886 billion "defense" budget: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/24/the-pentagon-doesnt-need-886bn-i-oppose-this-bloated-defense-budget
Did I say 'composed of"? Whew, truly abysmal.
Here's what he would prefer to be the country's priorities:
" It’s about making sure our children go to good schools and will have a habitable planet when they get older. It’s about making sure that every American has a decent standard of living and can enjoy quality healthcare and affordable housing.
As a nation, the time is long overdue for fundamental changes to our national priorities. Cutting military spending is a good first step."
That's "money for losers" I suppose.
