    Boy you worship those suits like they are Gods. The fact of the matter is that the average sixth grade teacher has a harder and more important job than these clowns.

    But hey I'm always willing to compromise; let's pay them 20X what the median worker at their company makes like in 1965. Surely people with their unique genius can thrive on that.
    Success is deceptive, Im pretty sure you know. It is like an iceberg. People only see the tiny part of your life when you making the big $$$$ and you have a 4 bedroom yacht with a helipad. The years, of suffering and sacrifice, the denial of pleasures, 'while you were sleeping, I was working', my family got torn apart, i did not get to see my kids grow up, They dont care about that.

    Funny how the capitalists' and freedom lovers, residing in a communist country risk their lives to get to a country like the USA, but socialists never try to get into a country that practices their ideals. Why? Because you know that $$hitty system is a failure.

    "Rich" - is a relative term. Sometimes.
    I know that I am rich to many people in third world countries, as compared to themselvses.
    In America, I am considered poor, simply because I don't have the glitzy assets and cash in the bank as most.
    But you know what? There is an absolute view, too. I lack NOTHING. Therefor, I am rich. I am blessed.
    TU from me, Earl.

    I have two kids, a wife, and a dog who love me. I don’t know whether the cat does too, but he jumps on my lap and lets himself be petted; I think that’s as close as cats get to expressing love for a human. I don’t work for anyone else’s wages. I call that a rich life.

    Definitely. I heard in a scenario like that the kids and dog love you more than the cat and the wife ... lol 😀 But seriously, there are many people poor in the worlds goods and rich in these intangibles, not realizing that they are richer than the rich man, who longs for what they have.

    Obama had FBI spy on Trump. My tax money. I am so ANGRY.
    Obama weaponized the IRS ( Lois Lerner was in charge). Snooped on private info illegally.
    Bad bad stuff Moonbus. Bad. Would you first clean that part of history up, and then we will discuss what you wrote.
    IWhy don’t liberals bring out all facts around surrounding certain situations. You mention what you ...[text shortened]... he IRS or the FBI..... what is the deal with you people? I am just livid, I cud cry like libs do!
    I hate to keep coming back to this, but you force my hand.

    How in the world is it still YOUR tax money after you pay it to the government?

    If you buy a Ferrari, is the money you pay for it still YOUR money?

    And oh yeah, stop lying about Obama, please.

    Money for doing nothing?

    I haven't proposed anything more radical than those inheriting money pay the same rate of taxes as those who made the same amount.

    If the US would adopt the APT tax, people who inherit money would be taxed at the same small rate all all other people who recieve money for any reason.

    Eladar........these fellers would not be happy with that......they want all of the money of the rich folks. They want to make rich folks poor, to stop making money, which results in reducing jobs for the poor folks. They want to tell a a rkich man that he cannot have two houses......The character who calls himself musty, he wants to tell a rich person that there is no need for him to have a toilet different than a common toilet. Some wives want gold-gilded toilets. How do you think that will fly? He also wants to tell a guy with $30M that he will 'not be allowed' to buy a 2nd home overlooking the ocean, even if his success created 40,000 jobs in the USA.

    Personally, i do the forum for entertainment, I have never been this close to idiots, parasites and losers before, so it is amazing. They want your stuff, Eladar. They group up like hyenas on a kill in Africa. Get ready.

    I adamantly disagree. My good, best, most talented, harder working employees over the years....I increased their salaries when they didn't even ask for it! Of course, slackers, I would have talks with to pick up their production, and yes, Duchess, if they could not perform, I would fire them, and replace them.

    So when you see an employer with a solid business, I promise you, he does not take good employees lightly, and fire/replace them to save money. Does not even make sense. Why say that? And randomly say that employers "often operate in bad faith'? And your last paragraph is crap, I expect that just MAYBE our poor live quite a bit better than just about Everybody in the Third world.

    ANd when you mention our poor, I hope you don't include the people who WANT to be poor in your equations.

    It's good for MANY a 'Left wing propagandist' in America that it isn't a meritocracy, because many of them would merit starving to death.

    May I take this back to common sense? If a man owns a business, or on a corp board, he hires people based on their merit, and pays them thusly. Call it what you will.
    Now, can you rephrase What you are trying to say without going askew with dictionary words and philosophy..?

    It is also filling fast with people of all ethnic backgrounds desperately attempting to escape the terrible circumstances of their own countries. And the United States has a very large population of the highly gifted and talented individuals of all colors who do remarkable work in every field under heaven.

    You remind me of the saying: "If you meet an a**hole in the morning, okay. You met an a**hole. If you meet a**holes all day, you are the a**hole."

    Your constant insulting language of anything American or white, or especially American AND white, is dull, boorish, and easily unmasks you as a despicable human being.

    I'm not sure what country or ethnicity you are from (perhaps you are too ashamed to reveal it), but I'm sure if I did know I could dig up plenty of dirt on it as well.

    I'd wish you a good day, but that'd be a lie.
