What the hell is wrong with these pricks? "I'm poor, I want to see a doctor?"

This is bullshite. These people are not patriots. They are waging a war on capitalism.

The world’s eight richest people have same amount of money as half the world's poor: Oxfam LINK LINK

So?

Not going to fault them for being successful.

If you make $50k, you are more wealthy than 6 billion people. I bet those 6 billion people think it's bullshite you have that much more money than them.

I'm a single white male making decent money
Taxes are fricking bullshite. For the amount I pay I don't see jack shite. $200+ out of each pay check( get paid weekly) it's unreal.

Then some of my Mexican co workers put 9-99 dependents or exempt and don't get shite taken out.

I'm all for paying taxes but the bracket and the rules are fricked up and need reform.
id like a little representation to go along with the taxation and butt rape.

The fact that you live in a country where you don't have to worry about dying when you drink a glass of water or being stabbed when you get your mail....that is why we pay our taxes.

Does that mean people in Flint MI and Chicago deserve a refund?

so government-sanctioned theft of another mans labor is justice? Interesting take. The Antebellum south had a LOT of Justice going on.

I admire your honesty and willingness to come out and admit that you are for the redistribution of wealth. If only the rest of your comrades would admit it then we might be able to have a civil discussion.

That being said. "Just" is in the eyes of the beholder. What I think is just, is a pedophile/murderer getting a bullet to the back of the head. Not life in prison getting 3 meals a day in the ac. Others feel that life in prison is "just" for these pieces of shite.

Unfortunately for you, the world is not, and will never be "just" in an "everyone Is equal" way. There will always be winners. Always be losers. Always be those with, and those without.

Can you imagine if everyone was equal? Everyone the same? How dull and dreary life would become. There would be no innovation. No art. No new technology. Nothing. Just a miserable population for eternity.

You see. Inequality is the driving force for innovation and change. To make everyone equal. Well. The only way for that to happen is for everyone to die.

I can tell you have no concept of the distinction between assets and taxable income. You likely don't even understand what "wealth" is and certainly you don't have the intellect to understand how it works.

I can guarantee everyone on this board that the moron OP- who has been trolling this board with his base ignorance all day- believes the individuals listed are hoarding cash.

I think we have already established that you are stupid if you are paying this.

I thought my water bill paid for the water treatment and distribution. What do taxes have to do with it?

It really doesn't get better when you're married and have kids honestly.

My goal is to save for retirement and my children's future. I sacrifice in a lot of other areas like recreation, like every other parent in the world, for them.

It pisses me off that I can't provide more of earnings to my family because of where we are due to liberal politics.

Well if that's the reason, one would assume there should be massive tax reductions because that shite doesn't require nearly as much as we're paying

So then, before Obamacare, the people who could afford to buy insurance but did not because they prioritized other things shouldn't have been counted among the uninsured.

They were just stupid
