How come I don't get to own my own private island and jet? Why do I have to pay so much just to have a plain home and cabin in the mountains?

Historically it has provided incentive to better ones self. The war on poverty has damaged that incentive.
As a result we have a growing, dependent underclass outbreeding producers.

you know, i haven't thought that deeply about it. I just know as a single guy with no kids and a good job i can easily afford to help people. if you don't want to, that's cool. don't care how people spend their money outside taxes.Posted on 9/28/17 at 12:30 pm to BBONDS25

Are you stupid? Where do you think having the opinion that it's perfectly ok for the government to confiscate 90% of a person's earnings and give it to others falls?

i have no problem not making as much so other people don't starve.
But we both know you aren’t interested in giving more of your own money. You could do that now. This is about taking other people’s money.

we can definitely cut the hell out of spending, but it really blows my mind how so many god fearing conservative christians don't give a flying f**k about their less fortunate brothers and sisters

I'm just enjoying the fact he calls himself a libertarian while advocating the government confiscate 90% of someone's income.

No, you are you stupid frick. You said that someone who made 20 million should only be allowed to keep 2 million. That's a 90% tax you idiot.

"some would say its immoral for a man to make 20 million dollars in a year, and honestly, i wouldn't feel the slightest bit of pity for him if he only got to take hom 2 million dollars."
i said i wouldn't feel bad for them. maybe you should take a break from the internet for a little while. maybe take a walk and look at the flowers?

You know it's ok to admit you're wrong. Just like it's ok to admit you're not a libertarian.

Sometimes a superiority complex is warranted

Except you want to compel others via taxes. You play the emoti Nap "people are starving" card to justify favoring other people paying more...however, your convictions have their limits. I'm guessing you won't sacrifice much personally for them. Others can take that burden for you. Sure feels good to be for the little guy with no food, though. Amirite?
