OK , so no one is impressed with my hypothetical. It still stands that one country has less importance on this planet then another one does. So the lesser country might think twice about knocking the more impressive country.
Zahlanzi, i note you mention a Rich person, Musk. Why? And in a demeaning way. A man who is changing the world. Tell me this, do you want to pun ...[text shortened]... see, Suzianne would write back “I don’t wear a coat and tie”. This is where you fellas ruin debates.
He is profiting off other people's ideas. Always has. And now, because he exploits his workers and is not paying enough taxes, he makes obscene amounts of money. Money he will spend to measure his dick against Bezos' and other billionaires to go to almost space.
"Tell me this, do you want to punish his success?"
It;'s not his success alone. It's everyone's. He abused a system we designed poorly. By taxing him we're not punishing him, we would be finally stepping in to fix a leak. He never should have been able to make that kind of money. Nobody should have. In the 50's and 60's the US corporate tax rate was as high as 90% and it is widely regarded as a period of immense growth.
"What would you and Suzianne do to Musk to have him stop making money, stop being successful?? "
Pay his workers more. Offer decent working conditions. Pay his taxes and more of it.
"How far would you go before you think he would say to hell with it, I am going to stop contributing my expertise to society?"
Like wealthy people did in the 50's and 60's when they had a marginal tax rate of 90%? Did they stop "contributing their expertise to society"?
Fine. In the very unlikely Musk will just stop buying ideas from others, someone else will step in. Before you say nobody else will try and become a millionaire because later down the line it will be hard to become a billionaire, please, abstain. It;s an argument we've heard countless times before and it has become boring.
"How would you have punished Edison for his inventions, had it brought him untold wealth?"
With prison time, because he was a conman, a thief and a bully.
"And why won’t you answer this question, like a grown-up in a coat and tie sitting in a board room?"
What question
"Not be silly. You see, Suzianne would write back “I don’t wear a coat and tie”. This is where you fellas ruin debates."
Huh? You're rambling again.
@averagejoe1 saidAnd the Republicans call themselves the party of Jesus.
Yeah, and the latest horrible bloody thing we have done is allow an invasion of our sovereignty by aliens, who have begun sucking up our resources that Trump had earmarked for our own citizens. You know, Sue, you and your contemporaries can rail on about past history, but what i write here is happening now..
And do you say thousands of people? The illegal aliens number quite a bit more, and. Suzianne, they are dam expensive, and diseased.
@averagejoe1 saidYes, because not all grownups wear coats and ties.

What about the question I asked you? Like, do you like the idea of a coming dictatorship in America? No answer.

Oh yeah, HYPOCRITE

Eladar is right.
The democrats are trying to tell us what damn words we can and can't say.
They want to take guns away.
They rip statues down. Not just the bad ones either.
The list goes on.
All dictatorships did those exact same things.
I'm not saying they are a dictatorship or trying to be one but if you had to pick a side that resembles a dictatorship then it would be the democrats.
I have no idea why crazy old sonhouse and others keep saying Republicans are the ones wanting a dictatorship. 🙄
@sonhouse saidRants with Responses are like Open Borders and Welfare......You cannot have both at the same time.

@contenchess saidShav, everybody,,,,,,,,do you know that part of Biden's plan is to give $450,000 to each illegal immigrant alien that has been separated from their families??? You do NOT know that because you are tuned into the wrong news sources.

This is money that they will have received from hardworking Americans' taxes. When word gets out, the other aliens will rush to our borders and enter our country. Do you think they will get the 450 AND free college???
You fellers really behind this administration? Who ARE all of you anyway..... are you fellers aliens yourselves?
