TheRealMafoo asked:
"So back to the point of this thread. Should it be ok for Washington to target small groups of people, and take money they have earned just because government feels they don't "deserve" it?"
To answer your question, imo, if such money is an extraordinary amount that is going to go to aid a very small number of people much to the detriment of the majority of the people in our society, then I believe they should.
|
You also believe the Illuminati caused the economic crisis.
|
Yeah, and you believe that being able to take what they donate in charity off of their taxes has nothing to do with the amount of money that the wealthy conservatives donate to charity.
|
No. Actually I do think it matters. Because if you can't take the money off you that means you have less of a net at the end of the year.
What i don't believe is that people give money becuse of the tax breaks. Which is logical. What do i gain by giving 1,000 dollars to say 350 dollars in taxes?
In general people doante what they are comfortable with... or some people... what they are sligtly uncomfortable with.
This is a reasonable position. the Illuiminati... not so much.

As William Cooper would say, whenever you have people in a scoiety that have fundamentally more than other people in that society you have a power elite which has a vested interest in protecting its own interests which is why you largely hear the people over $250,000.00 in this society saying, "Oh, Obama is going to raise taxes on us to help out those peons we call our workers (slaves) boo hoo hoo. Trying to elevate the poor people in our society so that they can drive cars just as good as our CTS or go on European vacations instead of working hard all day at backbreaking labor forcing them to do we want them to is Communistic and Socialistic."
That power elite can be called an Illuminati even if it has nothing to do with Adam Weishaupt's Illuminati.

Democrats make on average make more money then Republicans.
The "us vs them" rich vs poor arguement of Republicans vs Democrats is nothing but an excuse for people to feel put opon and blame others rather then take stock of their own lives.
Bill Gates for example... is a democrat, so is Warren Buffet, just about everyone in Holywood... rich people in general are democrats.
|
So, Democrats make on average more money than Republicans. I would think that would be true because Democrats are smarter than most Republicans. And that is why you find Democrats most often occupying most of the jobs in sciences and the arts which should be professions that earn the most money.
It is also true that poor people tend to do better in our society under Democratic leadership rather than Republican leadership in spite of the fact that Republicans donate the most money to charity.
|
Is it true? Or is this once again just stuff you've heard and decided to pass off as fact without looking in to anything?
The "Democrats do better then Republicans" when it comes to the economy tale for example is a case of political cherry picking.
For example. Since like World War 2. Every Republican president who took power inherted a war.
Outside of Obama the last democratic president to inherit a war has been... I'm not even sure i can name one.
Also, republicans usually tend to come into power right when recessions start... not because they caused them because they havent' been in office during the buildup... but because when money is tight people become more conservative.
Once again until Bush and his Neo-Cons cocked it all up.
Democrats have largely been the "Start wars" presidents. Another funny contradiction between the republicans and democrats.
The Republicans are the ones who want to build up the armies... but the democrats are the ones who use them.
Both parties are thoroughly flawed, though in dfiferent ways. It was hoped they would balance out each others faults, but instead they draw out the worst of each other and each try to get as many faults as possible through damn the consequences.
